Chapter 406
Keegan did not like to play riddles. But, he had great respect for Mr. Jackman, so when he heard Mr. Jackman say that, he went along and asked, “Who is it?”
Mr. Jackman smiled and said, “You’ll find out when we go inside.”
Soon they arrived at the lounge. When the assistant opened the door, Stella immediately saw Marshall sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the lounge. He wore a gray suit and a pair of silver-metal-framed glasses, and he was flipping through some documents in his hands.
“Marshall, guess who’s here?” Mr. Jackman said.
Marshall looked up at the sound of Mr. Jackman’s voice, took off his glasses, and revealed a pair of warm, light brown eyes. “Keegan.”
Stella was a little surprised, but then she remembered that when she asked Marshall to help her with her lawsuit, he told her that he was from Trinity University’s School of
Political Science and Law. It was just unexpected to see him here on this occasion. However, Mr. Jackman quickly cleared things up for everyone. Marshall had given two public lectures this morning under a personal invitation from the dean.
Mr. Jackman and the dean of the School of Political Science and Law were good friends. They were also very familiar with Marshall, and they knew about his relationship with Keegan. So, when Marshall finished his public lectures, Mr. Jackman invited him to stay and attend today’s recruitment talk. Mr. Jackman also said that they would all have dinner together after the event. Marshall could not refuse such a warm invitation.
In places where the higher-ups gather, there were networking chatters, and Stella could not get a word in edgewise. Marshall, on the other hand, was very talkative and skilled in this kind of situation, unlike Keegan who was quieter and more reserved.
After all, Marshall was from a social studies background and studied law. He was always better at maintaining interpersonal relationships than others.
As the conversation heated up, Mr. Jackman asked Keegan, “Where does your wife work?”
