Chapter 1173
Stella loved watching the National Embroidery Show. She would always sit in front of the TV whenever the show came up. Keegan was not interested in the program but would still watch it with Stella to pass the time.
However, that was not what Stella thought he was doing. From Stella’s point of view, Keegan was simply trying to steal the TV from her. Whenever she went to the bathroom during the commercials, Keegan would switch the program to the finance or sports channels. He would also intentionally hold onto the remote and make Stella beg for it. Stella did not know that that was Keegan’s way of trying to interact with her.
Despite being in the digital era, Stella still liked to catch up on shows on TV rather than the internet. She often worried that looking at her phone too much would affect her eyesight. Stella was very protective of her eyes, as they were important for expressing emotions in acting. She would also take a break to rest her eyes after every episode she watched.
Keegan knew that Stella would never give up grabbing the remote since she liked watching TV so much. At the same time, he knew she would sit in front of the screen for several episodes in a row and would not initiate any conversation if she had control over the TV. However, she would whisper sweet nothings to him or try to threaten him whenever he hid the remote from her.
But it was different this time. Stella had taken the initiative to talk to Keegan while the show was still ongoing. Her eyes lit up as if she could not wait to share her secret with him.
“Don’t tell me it’s you,” Keegan glanced at her and said.
“Ding ding ding. We have a winner.”
Keegan looked her up and down and said, “I wouldn’t be able to tell if you hadn’t said anything.”
Stella grunted. “That’s because I’m not wearing the dress,” she said as she stood up and ran upstairs. “Wait here. I’ll go put it on right now.” After changing into the dress she wore on the plane, Stella ran back downstairs and twirled around in front of Keegan. “See? Do you see it? Do I look like a phoenix about to fly off into the sky in this dress?”
Keegan stared at her for a while and said, “Shut up and stand still. Let me take a better look.”
Stella immediately corrected her posture and adjusted the sleeves of her dress. She folded her hands before her chest and looked down slightly. She was absolutely charming. Keegan’s eyes meticulously scanned every inch of her body as he forcibly suppressed his throbbing heart.
Stella blinked a few times and went over to ask, “So? Do I look like a flying phoenix or not?”
Keegan averted his eyes and said, “I bet Lea Sartorre hadn’t witnessed you with your mouth open. Otherwise, she would probably design a tiger roaring in the forest.”
Stella could not believe her ears. She glared at Keegan and snorted,” Clearly, you know nothing about art!”
However, this incident did not diminish Stella’s enthusiasm for sharing this matter with other people in her life. Keegan even heard her talking to Felicity on the phone about how great it would be to take a picture in the dress.
Then, one day, her dream came true.
Keegan was going on a business trip and insisted on bringing Stella along with him. He told her that Cordelia liked the glazed porcelain made there and needed her to pick some as a gift.
During the trip, Stella “coincidentally” bumped into Lea Sartorre once more, and Lea recognized her at a glance. Since Keegan was the organizer of one of the latest events she attended, Lea kindly invited them to visit her embroidery workshop.
