Chapter 1216
“I promise,” said Stella.
Keegan finally let go of the topic of Stella’s ex-boyfriend and focused on counting the points he had accumulated.
Curious, Stella leaned over as Keegan opened the calculator app on his phone. “How many points do you have as of right now?” she asked.
Keegan turned his phone away and refused to show her. “I’m not gonna tell you that. You’re too calculative, Stella. You might take off some points if you know my total.”
‘Psh. I could still take off some points without knowing your current total,’ Stella thought. Suddenly, her phone rang while Keegan was busy with his score. Stella saw that it was Trevor and gestured to Keegan to stay quiet as she answered the call.
“Hey, Stella. Do you have time for lunch today?” Trevor asked.
Stella glanced at Keegan, who gave her an encouraging look. “Is the family coming?” she asked in a low voice.
Trevor paused and said, “I won’t invite them if you’re not ready.”
Stella fell silent. She thought about the elderly couple who had come all the way from Royalburgh just to see her and realized that Wenham was not getting any younger. “Bring everyone out for lunch and send me the location,” she said after some time.
Trevor was a little surprised to hear her say that. He then smiled and said, “Alright. I’ll pick you up in a bit.”
“No, that’s fine. People are spreading rumors that you’re my sugar daddy. It’ll be hard to explain ourselves if the media catches us in a car together.”
“In some way, I am. You’re the heiress of the Saun family. It’s only fitting that I take special care of you.’ Trevor coldly snorted.
Stella laughed for quite a while before saying, “Should I quit acting then and just inherit the family business then?”
“You can do anything you want as long as you’re happy,” Trevor chuckled.
