Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017

Felicity said, “Come on, Mr. Snyder, be more like a gentleman. I didn’t get mad when you said that I lack feminine charm, right? Although you look like a playboy, you’re actually a very trustable friend. After all, I’m not dating you, so you being a playboy doesn’t affect me at all. We can still get along well as friends.”

Vermont paused. The phrase “I’m not dating you” sounded very particularly unpleasant to him as he suddenly felt a stifling sense of frustration inside.

He scrunched his face and said while gritting his teeth, ’Like I would be interested in dating you!”

Felicity did not notice that he was throwing a tantrum and thought that he was simply arguing with her as usual. So, she said playfully, “You’re right. Mr. Snyder is known to have high standards for women. How could my short legs ever be good enough for him?”

Listening to her self-deprecating words that were meant to cheer him up, he felt even worse.

He thought to himself. ‘Yeah. I have no idea why I would lower my standards to the point where I can’t stop thinking about your short legs. Even worse, you’re so oblivious that you can’t tell that I have feelings for you.’

“Okay, okay. Stop being angry. I’ll treat you to a Yostrainian meal after I receive my first payment. I’m going to take you to the newly opened Yostrainian restaurant in Northgate and order everything on the menu. I’m going to show that snobbish owner what I’m made of!”

Vermont suppressed his frustration and asked, ‘How did that owner offend you?”

“He didn’t really offend me, but he would always give me this weird look whenever I passed by his restaurant.”

Felicity even started imitating him as she spoke.

“He would roll his eyes to the back of his head as if he was saying that I’m too poor to be eating there.”

Vermont frustration disappeared and he could not help but laugh. “You think that he looks down on you, yet you still want to spend money in his shop? Did he save you in your past life or something?”

Vermont said, “I’ll just rent all the other shops as long as I can teach the restaurant owner a lesson. I’m pretty sure that the landlord will be more than happy to do that.”

‘A rich man’s revenge.’ Felicity thought for a while and said, ‘You’re not going to be so mean to me if I ever offend you, right?”

Vermont smirked and pinched her cheek. “That’s hard to say. So, you’d better show me some respect and stop being so violent to me.”

Felicity immediately said, “I’m not that bold. You’ve got to be very tired after taking such a long shower. Let me give you a back massage.”

Vermont looked at her and said, “Sure.” Then, he took off his bathrobe, revealing his muscular body as he turned her back against her and said flatly, “Press harder. My back has been very stiff lately.”

Felicity was speechless.
