Chapter 2189
Keegan raised his hand and gestured behind his shoulder. "Been focusing on my back, but it isn't as defined as it is on the abdomen."
Stella's eyes lit up. 'Let me take a look."
Keegan nodded, his gaze lowered, as he removed the bathrobe from his shoulders, preparing to turn around and reveal the results of his workouts to his wife, when suddenly the study door was twisted open from outside.
Stella's reflexes acted quicker than her thoughts. She immediately grabbed Keegan, using her body to shield his body.
The door cracked open, and a little head peeked in. Coco, with two pigtails, blinked innocently, "Uncle Keegan, Aunt Stella, Grandma Whitney wants me to ask if you want to eat fish dumplings."
Stella, still facing away from the door, couldn't let go. She patted Keegan's back, prompting him to respond.
Keegan replied, "Well share one portion."
Coco nodded, glanced at Keegan, and whispered, "Uncle Keegan, are you courting someone?"
Keegan paused. "What did you say?"
Coco mysteriously continued, "Mr. Tobias from Sunshine Class always flexes his muscles when he sees Ms. Yvonne from our class. Ms. Leona from Flower Class says Mr. Tobias is courting. Uncle Keegan, are you courting too?"
Keegan blinked. "Do you know what courting means?"
Coco raised her chin, "Of course, I do! Courting means wanting to be friends with someone, wanting to have offspring. Uncle Keegan, when are you and Aunt Stella going to have babies?"
Keegan didn't reply. Instead, he opened the door and ushered her out of the study.
The next day, during lunchtime in the company cafeteria, Stella sat next to Sonia Clarkson as usual.
Sonia had been at the company for a few days now, currently assigned to Group Three of Zone A in the Perfume Blending Department.
Before joining, Trevor had called her specifically, reminding her to keep an eye on things on this side of the cafeteria, just to make sure she eats well. Sonia was introverted, not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, but she was obedient, wouldn't cause trouble, could spend the whole day working in the Perfume Blending Room if nobody called her.
Stella readily took on this task and, at meal times, would call Kiara Lark from Zone B to get Sonia downstairs to eat.
Sonia was indeed very obedient, spoke very little, wasn't picky about food, and could eat anything with relish. Kiara joked that when the cafeteria chefs saw Sonia finishing her meal, they would feel a great sense of accomplishment because she ate so well.
Stella handed Sonia a bottle of water and asked, "Sonia, the registration for the National Perfume Blending Competition is about to start. Do you want to participate?"
Sonia looked up. 'You brought me to the company just to help you win this competition, right? Why are you asking me if I want to go?"
Kiara raised an eyebrow. This newcomer had quite the attitude.

Caline had always sent people to
participate in every perfume blending competition. Unfortunately, apart from the two seasons of the Om competition when the founder, Wilfred Hall, was alive, the company
had never won a competition since then. It was said that the apprentice of the renowned perfume blending technician Jackie Rogan had been dominating the top spot for years. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
After the first time making it to the top, she had held onto the title for three seasons. If she succeeded in defending the title this year, she would break the
record.
Really bold for a newcomer, to be so confident.
Stella smiled. I want you to go, but you have to be willing to go. If you want to go,
I'll sign you up. If you don't want to, it's okay too. Trevor said he just wants you to
be happy."
Sonia paused for a moment, then said, "I'll participate," she thought for a moment, then added, "Trevor also hopes you'll be happy."
Stella was about to say something else when Jaylene came over with a tray,
smiling and greeting them.
Two words flashed through Stella's mind - bad luck.
