Chapter 1287
Keegan was worried about being photographed. So, he had Aldor pick out a discreet Yostrainian restaurant with good music. The restaurant was located on the top floor of the Empyrean Luxe, the tallest building in Rivera. It was a rotating restaurant that allowed diners to enjoy a panoramic view of the Cobalt River.
When Keegan and Stella rode the elevator, a kid accidentally stained Keegan’s shirt with their ice cream cone. Once they reached the top floor, he told Stella she could wait for him at the restaurant. Meanwhile, Keegan headed to the restroom to clean himself up.
Stella grabbed Keegan’s phone and made her way to the restaurant. While the staff was checking her reservation, a familiar voice sounded behind her. “Let me scan the PayPal QR code real quick.”
Startled, Stella put on her hoodie.
“We have received your payment, sir. Thank you for dining with us, and have a good day.”
“You too. Which way to the restroom, by the way?” The voice asked in disdain.
With a warm tone, the staff said, “You may go left after exiting, and the restroom is straight ahead.”
“Great. Thanks.”
Stella only glanced back once she no longer heard the voice. To her surprise, Spencer was standing right behind her. He was leaning slightly forward and had his eyes fixed on her. Stella was shocked. She nearly bumped into him when she turned around. She pushed him away and exclaimed, “Are you out of your mind? Back off!”
Seemingly amused, Spencer smirked and said, “Why were you trying to avoid me, huh?”
Stella’s face remained expressionless. “I wasn’t avoiding you. Don’t flatter yourself.”
“Then, what’s with the hood?”
“Can’t I put up my hood because I’m cold?” Stella replied.
Spencer laughed at her response. He then grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
“What are you doing? Let go!” Stella resisted.
Spencer gave her an icy look and said, “Say another word, and I’ll rip your mask off for everyone to see your face.”
