Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Chapter 1281

Chapter 1281

Marshall had clearly put thought into selecting the gifts. The present he chose was a stylish leather backpack with dual shoulder straps, perfect for Felicity’s relaxed and casual fashion sense. However, the silk scarf he included felt a little out of place, given that it resonated more with Stella’s typical style. There were numerous scarves in that particular style in Stella’s spacious walk-in closet. She even owned several of the same design in various colors.

Not fully attuned to women’s fashion preferences, Keegan playfully teased her for having so many scarfs. Stella then teased him back for his shoe collection.

Felicity liked the bag Marshall gifted her. She swung it over her shoulder and asked Stella. “Stella, do you think I look good in this?”

Before Stella could respond, Vermont interjected, “You do. That bag fits your aesthetic perfectly.”

Felicity rolled her eyes at him and said, “I wasn’t talking to you. What would a man like you know about fashion?”

Her words rendered Vermont silent.

“I agree; you look great. The scarf complements your complexion well,” Keegan chimed in.

Felicity was taken aback. Although it was meant as a compliment, it carried a somewhat eerie undertone when coming from Keegan. He had, after all, sent her a threat

after she told Stella not to give him too high a score. It was hard to believe that he suddenly became a master at compliments.

Stella joined the conversation and offered her perspective.” It’s not quite your usual style, but it does look good on you.”

Felicity held Stella’s taste in high regard, well aware of Stella’s impeccable fashion choices. However, she overlooked the fact that sometimes, it was her beauty that made her look good rather than her clothes.

Encouraged by Stella’s praise, Felicity felt like the most stylish person around as she draped the scarf over her neck. Her eyes even twinkled with delight. “Mr. Moore, you truly have an eye for gifts. I love it.”

Marshall did not know how to respond.

At that point, he could not bring himself to say that the scarf was not for her. So, he held back and managed a small smile. “I’m glad you like it,” he said. After a brief pause, he continued, “Regarding the bag…”

“I love the bag as well. It complements my style so well. I can’t believe your previous girlfriend let go of a gem like you, Mr. Moore. I’d literally cling to my boyfriend day and night if he had such exquisite taste,” said Felicity.

Hearing that, Marshall was silenced.

Vermont put his arm around Felicity’s waist and said, “Why don’t you show me how you’d cling to me?”

‘I meant that hypothetically,’ thought Felicity.

Keegan was enjoying himself now that Marshall could not give Stella her gift. He did not want to come across as petty by telling her to reject the present. Thankfully, his concern was now resolved.

He decided to add to the situation by saying, “That bag is perfect for carrying laptops and notebooks. Since those are essential for your work, you’re bound to become a top screenwriter with Marshall’s gift.”

Felicity was getting a little scared with all the praise. Maybe you guys should take a step back from the compliments,’ she thought.

Marshall looked at Keegan and saw the latter giving him a thumbs-up and mouthing the words, “Well played, brother.”

Marshall could not help but smile and mouthed back at him, “You’re such a child.”
