Kayla looked at the two and suddenly noticed that Marshall regarded Stella as more than just a friend.
Before the group finished their meal, Stella’s phone rang. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the caller ID. She grabbed her phone and said, “Excuse me while I take this call outside.”
Marshall was visibly disappointed once Stella left.
Kayla calmly took a sip of her water as she thought, ‘Does Marshall have a thing for his friend’s partner? Woah. The romantic dynamic in the entertainment industry is wild.’
Meanwhile, Stella walked to the terrace and answered the phone.
“Why did it take you so long to pick up?” The person on the other line sounded displeased.
“It was too noisy inside. I just stepped out of the restaurant,” said Stella. “Are you done with work?”
“Yeah,” Keegan replied. “I’m on my way to pick you up. We won’t have time if I go any later.”
“What do you mean?”
Keegan lowered his voice mysteriously, “I prepared a surprise for you.” Stella laughed and asked, “What kind of surprise?”
“It won’t be a surprise anymore if I tell you. I’ll be there soon. You can start heading out.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Stella settled the bill and bid farewell to Marshall and Kayla.
He offered to drive Stella home when he heard that she was leaving.
