Keegan chuckled, “Worried you’ll go soft, huh? Seems I was overthinking.”

Stella said, “I was indeed feeling a bit soft, but something just happened that made me very uncomfortable.”

She briefly mentioned Larry kneeling down, “I wasn’t that angry before. But when I saw him kneeling outside, my temper flared up instantly. With so many people watching, I felt like he was pressuring me, so I took the opportunity to reassign him.”

Sighing, she continued, “Actually, on the way here, I felt a bit guilty. I wondered if I was being too harsh. He’s currently short of money to get a cochlear implant for his son. His new position will surely pay less than before.”

Stella blinked, asking softly, “Do you think he’s lying?”

Keegan shook his head. “I’m not sure. But someone who readily kneels down, easily sacrificing dignity, must value something more than dignity. Reassigning him is the best option. Having him close to you makes me uneasy,” he said, holding her hand, whispering, “Don’t be soft-hearted.
