Chapter 250
Keegan was speechless.
‘Vermont’s also my friend, but I don’t see her hesitating when she rips him off,’ he thought.
He studied Marshall carefully.
‘I suddenly realized… Marshall is pretty good-looking,’ he thought again.
The more Keegan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. So after that, he did not speak during their meal.
However, Stella seemed unaware of his emotions. She was all smiles as she ate and chatted away with Marshall.
Keegan paid the check and went outside. Stella was talking to Marshall while they stood at the curbside.
“Mr. Moore, where are you heading? We’ll give you a ride there after this,” Stella said in a slightly warm and gentle tone.
Since they all came in a car, Marshall would have to hail a cab if the two of them left.
Marshall handed her a few mints he had taken from the counter just now. Then, he smiled, There’s no need. I have something to do nearby, so I’ll just walk and stimulate digestion.”
Then, he saw Keegan walking over, “You and Keegan should get back soon; it’s getting late.”
“Alright, then. Let’s get in touch when you have the time,” Stella did not insist. She bade him goodbye and got in the car.
Marshall waved at the two through the mirror. Then, the car slowly drove away.
Stella handed Keegan a mint, “Do you want one?”
Keegan had a tense expression and did not take the mint.
Stella did not bother asking more questions.
