Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004

Keegan said, “I’m sorry. I got nervous and forgot what to do. Let’s start over.”

Stella did not trust him. “You? Nervous?’*

Keegan chuckled, lowered his gaze, and said, “I’m just a man. How could I not be nervous when the person I like dresses like this and sits on my lap?”

Keegan was the kind of person who could make someone’s heart flutter with just one sentence.

Perhaps that was his talent as a hard-headed man.

Stella’s ears turned red as she coughed. “I can’t remember you getting nervous over anything. You could speak in a technology competition or national award ceremony in front of thousands without a script and not feel nervous. You could just go on and on about all sorts of things.”

Keegan paused. “Have you watched the award ceremony?”

“Yeah,” Stella said before pausing for a second. “I was there.”

Keegan’s eyes sparkled. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier or talk to me there?”

Stella looked at him. “You didn’t tell me you went there to receive an award, so why would I? I just didn’t want to look like an extra.”

Keegan chuckled. “I didn’t tell you because I wasn’t sure if I’d win.”

The first runner-up in that prize was a champion in another category. The result of that person’s research was so groundbreaking that it gained a lot of publications in the country. So, he became a lot less confident in winning that year.

He only brought Aldor and two other core team members when he was invited to attend the ceremony. Nobody other than them knew that he had gone to the ceremony.

However, he won unexpectedly. He went up on the stage without preparing an acceptance speech before that. After being surprised, he quickly readjusted himself and gave a speech to thank his team for the hard work in the past few months.

In fact, Keegan could not really remember what he said during his speech. He could only recall booking a flight ticket back home because he wanted to show Stella the award he won.

He put the trophy at the most noticeable spot at his house as soon as he got back, thinking that it would catch Stella’s attention immediately without making himself look too eager.
