Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136

“Hello, who’s calling?”

Stella heard Vermont’s serious voice through the phone. He did not sound as flirtatious as he usually would.

Stella wondered, “I thought he had my number, no?

‘Did he not save it?’

She quickly responded without dwelling on that thought, “I’m Stella.”

Vermont was surprised as he said, “Oh, it’s you. How may I assist you?”

Stella became a little awkward after hearing how straightforward Vermont was. However, she knew she had no time to waste as she got straight to the point, “There’s something I hope you could help me with.”

Vermont laughed. “Are you sure? Keegan is so much more capable than me.’

He implied that Stella should have asked for her husband’s help instead.

Stella responded without trying to hide anything, “We’re fighting, and I don’t really feel like talking to him. Besides, you’re the only person who can help me with this.”

Vermont got curious. “Fighting? Because of what? Tell me more about it.”

Stella was at a loss for words.

She just could not figure out why Vermont would be interested in the reason why she was fighting with Keegan.

“It’s nothing serious. He’s throwing a fit because I accidentally gave the socks that I bought for him to Marshall.”

Vermont repeated what she said, “You gifted Marshall socks?”

“Yeah. He did me a huge favor at the banquet, so I bought him a tie as a token of appreciation. However, I accidentally placed that pair of socks in there.”

“Oh,” Vermont said expressively, “Keegan is just being unreasonable at this point. It’s just a pair of socks anyway.”

Stella was not trying to continue this topic with him. She knew that Vermont was Keegan’s childhood friend. He would let Keegan know what she said if she were to tell him more.
