Chapter 1243
After leaving the office, Keegan answered the call and said,” Did you just remember you have a boyfriend after having dinner with another man?”
‘What a jealous partner,’thought Stella. ‘Wait a minute…1
“How did you know we were going to have dinner together?” Stella asked.
Keegan paused and snorted, “It’s because I know you. Surely you wanted to treat Marshall to a nice meal for helping you.”
“Okay. But we didn’t get to eat,” Stella replied softly. “Mr. Moore got into some trouble.”
Keegan was shocked to hear that. He furrowed his brow and said, “What kind of trouble?”
“His hand got injured in a knife attack. He’s currently at the hospital getting stitches. Can you contact his family and tell them what happened?”
“I thought you guys went to get the land patent. How did it turn into a knife attack?” asked Keegan.
Stella briefly explained the afternoon incident. The more Keegan listened, the darker his face became. His eyelids twitched when he heard she knocked out the attacker with a pickle jar. Keegan was about to reprimand Stella when she continued, “Mr. Moore thanked me, but I never intended to go upstairs in the first place.”
“What? Why? Isn’t it your thing to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress?” Keegan joked, but Stella did not find it funny.
“The man had a knife, Keegan. I’m not stupid. Plus, it’s not like you were the one being held hostage. Why would I put myself in that scary situation?”
