Chapter 733

Meanwhile, Keegan had a plan after he saw Vermont's reply. He stared at the "Have you eaten" text

and thought for a while. Then he transferred 143 dollars to Stella.

[Nope. I've got an important project today, so I've been having meetings.]

He thought for a while and sent another text.

[I haven’t eaten the entire day.]

Stella was amused when she read his two text messages.

'He's even sadfishing now,' she thought.

She pretended not to understand his words and sent a reply.

[Being your employee is so miserable. They work under a boss like you, so they don't get to eat this

late at night and are working overtime.]

Keegan replied.

[They've gotten off work. It's a video meeting.]

Stella was speechless.

[You're at the office?]

Keegan replied.

[Mhm.J

Stella looked at the time; it was almost ten o'clock.

'Does this bastard live in the office?' she wondered.

Keegan sent her another message soon after.

[Is the feast delicious?]

Stella replied.

[It's not bad. Do you want some?]

Keegan replied without hesitation.

[I do.]

Stella replied.

[Keep thinking, then.]

Keegan sent her a reply.

[...]

Stella laughed. Just then, an attendant walked past her. She stopped them and ordered a few dishes.

"Pack them up for me and get them delivered to the Vinci Rivera Group afterward. Tell them their

managing director ordered the food. I'll go downstairs and settle the bill later."

The attendant nodded and left.

Stella looked down and glanced at her phone. Keegan had sent her another text.

[Julian's admission results are out. Computer science at Calton University.]

'That brat! I can't believe he told Keegan first,' she thought.

Just as Stella was about to reply, Marshall's voice sounded behind her.

"I actually thought you were drunk."

Stella turned around and smiled, "They're all big shots. I can't drink when they're toasting to me, so I

could only pretend to be drunk." She paused before she continued, "Why did you also come out?"

Marshall answered warmly, "Mr. Winfield noticed that you hadn't returned for quite some time and was

worried something had happened. So he asked me to come out and check on you."

'I'm alright. I was just thinking of going home."

Marshall said, "I'll let Mr. Winfield know when I go back inside after this.

You can go home first."

"Will that work?" Stella asked dubiously.

'It's a gathering with big shots, not one with friends that I don't know. I should tell them before I leave

rather than leave without a word. Except I'm worried they'll stop me when I enter, then I won't be able to

leave. They’re all respectable people in the industry. As a nobody who has just started acting, I can't

afford to offend any one of them,' she thought.

Marshall laughed, "Why are you slow when you need to be smart?"

"Hmm?"

"When you go inside later, continue acting drunk. Preferably so drunk, you can barely walk. Who'll dare

ask you to stay then?"

'As expected, weird ideas are the ones that work,' she thought.

And so, she said gleefully, "Then, you'll have to help me out a little after this so that my act will be more

believable."

While the two were talking, someone came out of the room beside them. Stella glanced at the person

and felt a little surprised.

Jaylene was also surprised. Then, she nodded at Stella politely before turning around and going to the

washroom.

Stella swallowed back the "hello" she wanted to utter. She did not expect Jaylene to remember how

she had saved her. However, Jaylene's excessive coldness still made her feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go," Marshall said. He continued, "Get those emotions brewing and let Mr. Winfield witness your

acting skills."

Stella was amused, "Mr. Winfield had a lot to drink. I think I could bluff him."

The two walked while discussing how they would act when they entered the room after this. Soon after,

they disappeared into the corridor.

When Jaylene returned from the washroom, Aurora glared at her phone with a frown.

She and Keegan had somehow changed seats, so the person seated next to her was now Aurora.

Jaylene pulled her chair and sat down.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

Aurora said with a long face, "Marshall isn't replying to my texts. This afternoon, he asked me what I

was doing tonight. I wonder if he's at his law firm. I'll go and take a look when we return after this."

Jaylene paused before she said, "I saw Marshall just now.
