Chapter 1072
Stella did not comply with Keegan's request. "It's all just layers of clothing.
There's nothing new to see here,” she said.
Hearing that, Keegan looked at her and grabbed his phone to make a call. Stella was about to ask him who he was
calling when Marshall's voice came on the speakerphone. "Keegan?"
Stella recognized the voice and was shocked. 'What is this mutt trying to do!?'
"Mhm," Keegan casually replied.
Marshall sounded a little tired. "It's pretty late. What's wrong? Why are you still up?"
"Vermont wants to meet up later this week and wants you to bring your girlfriend along. Would she be able to

Stella was completely speechless when she heard that.
Marshall paused. "Didn't you guys always say no chicks around when we're hanging out?" he asked.
Keegan put the blame on his friend and said, "Vermont wants to meet her since he didn't get to talk to her much at
Duncan's wedding."
Stella's face darkened, beckoning him to stop acting crazy and to hang up the phone. Then, Keegan pointed at the
royal mantle, telling her that he would stop if she changed into the clothes right then and there while a ferocious
look appeared on Stella's face.
Marshall, who was on the other line of the phone, pursed his lips and said,' She's been busy with work recently, so
she probably doesn't have time to hang out with us."
Keegan smiled and said, "Isn't she a music teacher? How busy can she be? Could it be that Ms. Thompson doesn't
want to meet us?"
Marshall went silent for a moment and said, ‘Til ask her about it."
They hung up after that, and Stella was finally able to speak. She gritted her teeth and said, "What do you think
you're doing?"
Keegan leaned back on the couch and said, "Since I couldn't get the compensation I wanted, I had to get it
somewhere else. Otherwise, I won't be happy."
"Why did you have to drag Mr. Moore into this?"
Keegan took offense at the comment and slumped forward. He looked at Stella with a sullen expression and said,
"I'm already being civilized about this. I didn't even confront him for putting that hideous disguise on you."

Before Stella could pick a bone with Keegan for saying that it was a hideous look, her phone rang; it was Marshall.
Stella did not know if she should answer the call. Keegan looked at her, crossed his legs, and said, ’ What? You're
not going to pick that up?"
Stella was at a loss for words. She really did not want to answer the phone, but Marshall had called thrice
consecutively. She knew that he would not stop until she picked up, and so she did.
Keegan's eyelids twitched as he watched Stella's movements. Once the call was connected, Marshall's warm voice
was heard. "Stella, were you asleep? Sorry to bother you this late."
"I just finished taking a shower. I'm about to sleep now since I had a busy day," Stella said as she pretended to
sound sleepy. "Is something wrong, Mr. Moore?"
Marshall could tell that she was tired. He paused and did not mention the thing Keegan had asked him. Instead, he
said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to congratulate you on the show. Many of my friends are watching The Palace,
and they mentioned that you're really pretty and talented."
Stella was overwhelmed by the compliment and modestly said, ’They're too kind."
"It's true," said Marshall. "You played that role so well. You literally went into character.
