Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Startled by his outburst, Stella thought, ‘It’s just a pair of socks. Does he really have to make a big deal out of it?‘

“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Stella tried to explain. “The two bags looked so similar, and I didn’t realize I put the socks in the wrong one.”

Keegan’s face remained cold and stern. “Call and ask him to bring them back,” he commanded.

Stella frowned, “How am I supposed to do that? I’ve already given them away. It’s just a one- hundred–dollar pair of socks. I can’t just ask Mr. Moore to return them.”

“If you knew that once a gift has been given and it’s not proper to ask for it back, then why did you give away a gift meant for me?” Keegan snapped.

She felt like Keegan was just looking for an excuse to start a fight with her.

‘He’s been giving me this attitude since we were at Cordelia’s residence just now. It’s not really about the socks. He’s just using them as an excuse to mess with me.‘

Baldwin was still inside the car with them, so Stella had to bite her tongue and respond calmly, “I really didn’t mean it. It’s just a pair of socks. I can buy you another pair if that’s what you want.”

Keegan was even more angry at her perfunctory attitude. “Is this just about buying new socks? Do you even take this seriously?”

Stella’s anger exploded. She no longer cared about Baldwin’s presence and shot back, “Yeah, right. You’re the only one who didn’t take it seriously. Otherwise, why didn’t you keep it when I gave it to you? I was thoughtful enough to get you a gift, but you acted like you were annoyed. Who the hell knows if you really want those socks?! Now they’re gone, and you’re blaming me? I don’t think this is really about the socks. You just want to pick a fight with me!”

Keegan’s hands were trembling in rage. “You’re the one who made a mistake, yet you think your action is justifiable.”

Stella glared at him. “I shouldn’t have bought that damn pair of socks just to let you find fault with me!”

“Baldwin, pull over!” said Keegan and Stella simultaneously with stern faces.
