Chapter 1153
Stella glanced at the man beside her, who was clearly thinking about having sex. She said, “Behave, Keegan. You’re giving me the ick.”
“But Vermont always talks like that,” the man grunted.
“That’s why you’d play the macho boss if you were in a movie, while he’d play the manager,” Stella joked. “But you’ll be neither if you don’t stop with the gross talk.”
Keegan was at a loss for words. ‘So I need to be in a high position to get along with her now? That’s sad…’
While they were chatting, Stella’s phone rang. It was Albert. She gave Keegan a silent gesture and answered the call.
“Stella, are you okay?” asked Albert.
Stella and Keegan looked at each other. “I’m fine. Is something the matter, Mr. Jewell?”
Albert sounded concerned. “Why didn’t you tell me you faced such a major situation?”
“Well, you didn’t ask,” Stella replied indifferently.
“I just saw the news yesterday. I wanted to call, but I feared you wouldn’t pick up. I didn’t like it when you said you wanted to pursue acting. I knew the people in the show business were all a bunch of bums. Your mom even argued with me when I told her that. But now look. You’re suffering.” Stella could not stand Albert. She almost threw up at the tone of his voice.
Albert was the typical oppressive and self-centered parent. If his child wanted to learn something, he’d be against it. If they did not listen to him and decided to chase after their dreams, he would keep finding ways to tear them down.
