Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127

As soon as Stella came out of the shower, she received a phone call from Felicity.

Felicity’s excited voice rang through the phone “Stella, they accepted my script!” She exclaimed.

“Wow, that was fast!” Stella was surprised.

Despite having only revised the manuscript the day before, Felicity’s submission had already been accepted without a hitch.

“I know, right?” Felicity replied. “I thought they’d ask for revisions when I submitted it this morning, but they just called to say they accepted it and want me to sign the contract next week.”

Stella secured her damp hair with a claw clip and asked, “How much will you sell it for?”

“That hasn’t been decided yet,” Felicity replied. “But, the general market price for a first series is around a million.”

“And, will you be the screenwriter if the drama is filmed?” Stella continued.

Felicity explained, “Unfortunately, film production companies tend to hold onto the copyrights before they make any decisions. As for when it will be filmed, it can be unpredictable and often depends on availability. For established writers, filming usually begins within two years of signing a contract. However, for less well–known writers like myself, there’s no guarantee of a film opportunity, even after the copyright has expired. So, I shouldn’t count on being its screenwriter.”

Stella was a little disappointed.

Felicity, on the other hand, remained optimistic. “Getting it sold is a huge step forward. I’m young and not in a rush. Someday, the dramas of the scripts I write will be broadcasted on major TV channels!”

Stella’s smile returned. “And, when that day comes, hot actors and actresses, as well as award winning talents, will all want to be a part of your dramas!”

Felicity added, “And, I’ll make sure that you’re my leading actress, making you a superstar that even Keegan would want to impress.”

Stella’s grin vanished. “Don’t mention him. I’m still mad at him.”

Felicity picked up on Stella’s tone and softly asked, “Did you two have another argument?”

Feeling wronged, Stella could not hold back and shared the details of what had happened with Felicity.

After relating the story, Stella added, “Is he really upset about a pair of socks? I don’t think so. He was just trying to pick a fight with me. I was so foolish. Why did I even buy him those socks in the first place, just for him to find fault with me?”

“Wait a minute,” Felicity interjected. “Did you say the lawyer I introduced you to is Keegan’s childhood friend and the good–looking guy who helped you last time?”

Stella nodded. “Small world, right?”

Felicity was quiet for a moment and then asked, “So, you gave Keegan’s socks to his childhood friend?”

Stella corrected her. “No, I put them in the wrong bag by mistake.

“Could it be that Keegan was jealous?” Felicity asked.

“Jealous my foot! He can’t possibly think that Mr. Moore is interested in me. Besides, he doesn’t even like me. Why would he be jealous? He was just looking for an excuse to start a fight! I bet he was unhappy at the thought of having to split his wealth with me after our divorce, so he is deliberately messing with me!”

Before Felicity wanted to say something, Stella received another phone call.
