Chapter 200
At that moment, the lights were all turned on. Stella squinted her eyes and was shocked when she saw who she was holding in her arms and yelped, “Mr. Moore?”
Keegan’s expression immediately turned ugly. He could see that Stella was hugging Marshall like an octopus. She had her head facing upwards with a dumb look on her face.
He gritted his teeth and said, “What are you doing?”
Stella came back to her senses and quickly released her grasp, but Keegan was quicker by a bit and grabbed her wrist. He then forcefully pried Stella from Marshall’s body. Stella’s wrists were hurting, but she did not care to cry out. Due to the embarrassment, she could only stay awkward.
Forget about hugging the wrong person; she even blackmailed the person and ridiculed their aunt. Now, she wished she could crawl into a hole and hide from the embarrassment.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Moore. I’ve mistaken you for someone else,” Then, she complained quietly to Keegan, “Weren’t you beside me just now? Where did you go?”
Keegan said with an unhappy expression, “You were the one hugging someone else and not letting go, yet you have the audacity to blame me?”
Stella choked on his words. ‘Son of a bitch, doesn’t he know how to give me a way out?’
In the end, Marshall said, “Based on the situation, it’s normal to mistake anyone for someone else. Besides, I have the same physique as Keegan.”
That sentence helped Stella ease the awkwardness. In actual fact, what Marshall said was also true. He did have the same physique as Keegan, and the smell of their clothes had a slight tinge of rosin. Therefore, it caused Stella to confuse them both.
“I met Vermont earlier. He said that both of you came over here, so I came to look for you,” Marshall said.
Then, Stella remembered that she had rejected Marshall’s invitation previously. Instead, she had appeared at the jewelry exhibition. She figured that he might feel unhappy about it, so Stella quickly explained, “Grandma told me she wanted to come and take a look. We were worried, so we came with her.”
