Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Keegan said, “I already told Alexis that if you can beat me tomorrow, he’ll let you join the team.”

Joe got Alexis’s WhatsApp number, and the “Come on” message he received confirmed Keegan’s words.

Excited, Joe immediately asked, “What time and where tomorrow?”

Keegan gave him the time and address, adding, “Make sure to load up on carbs. Twenty kilometers isn’t a joke.”

Joe, full of confidence, replied, “You should exercise more, old man. I’m ten years younger, so I’ll definitely win this half marathon. Get ready to introduce me to the team!”

Keegan chuckled, “Alright, I’ll wait.”

After hanging up, Joe quickly packed his things. “I’m leaving now. I’ve got something important tomorrow. We’ll hang out another day!”

His friend’s voice trailed off behind him, “Seriously? We were supposed to stay out all night, and you’re ditching me?”

The next morning, Keegan got up early, took Stella to breakfast, and drove to the race location.

He wore a sporty outfit, his hair loose and casual instead of his usual slicked-back work style. Stella, initially drowsy, was struck by how handsome he looked.

“Handsome, how old are you?” she teased.

Keegan smirked as he turned the steering wheel, “Sorry, I’m married with kids.”

Stella smiled, “Clothes really do make the man. You change outfits, and suddenly it feels like I have a new husband.”

Keegan asked, “Do you like the old one or the new one?”

Stella sweetly replied, “I like both, as long as it’s you.”

Looking out the window, she asked, “Where are we going, honey?”

Keegan said, “We’re going to show off to your boyfriend outside the circle.”

Stella was puzzled, “What boyfriend outside the circle?”
