Chapter 1488

Vermont found Stella’s proposal intriguing. After contemplating, he said, “You’ll need to familiarize yourself with every aspect of The Velvet, from sourcing raw materials to crafting and delivering the final product. It’s crucial to have reliable people in key positions. There is no room for error once you start getting large orders.”

Stella nodded. “Darcie’s assistant arranged for me to visit The Velvet tomorrow to get a feel of the operation.”

“1’11 join you,” Felicity chimed in immediately. “Jaylene must be mad that you got the jewelry store. She’s probably itching to ruin your plans. Take me along. I’ve got your back if they try to give you a hard time.”

Vermont thought for a moment and suggested, “That’s a good idea. We can have a video call before you guys enter the store, and I’ll keep an eye on things through the screen.”

Stella was waiting for Vermont to say that. “As long as The Velvet can be managed smoothly, I’ll add an extra one percent commission for you on these pieces, Mr. Snyder.”

Vermont shrugged. “That’s alright. Thirty percent will do. Your partner and best friend will kick my ass if I ask for more.”

“Thank God, you’re self-aware,” Felicity huffed.

Stella handed the items to Vermont and gave Felicity a stack of unopened skincare and makeup products.

Following that, Felicity happily pulled her boyfriend away and left.

Once Stella finished organizing, Keegan emerged from the bathroom. “I’ll take care of it. I’ve prepared the bathwater for you. Go ahead and freshen up.”

Stella nodded and reminded him, “Just pack those items into the suitcase.”

Keegan acknowledged her and crouched down to do the packing. Stella watched him for a few seconds before she grabbed a fresh set of clothes and headed to the bathroom.

Not long after she entered, a scream echoed from the bathroom.

Keegan froze and immediately rushed toward the bathroom. He pushed the door open and found no one in the bathtub.

Keegan’s heart pounded. He was about to step in and check when the door behind him was slammed shut.

Stella was in a bathrobe with her dark hair draping over her shoulders. She had hands folded over her chest, as she looked at him with a playful gleam in her eyes.

Keegan cleared his throat. “If everything’s fine, I’ll leave.”

Stella blocked his way. She placed his hand on her waist and guided him to untie the strap around her bathrobe. She lightly brushed her nose against his chin, as she tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the chin.

“I’m heading back to the Saun residence tomorrow. Why don’t we make the most of tonight? Hm? Honey?”

Keegan could not resist.

He lifted her up in his arms, and the rest is history.

The next day, Stella woke up alone. She reached her hand out to cover her eyes from the sunlight.

Lately, Keegan had been so busy that there was no sign of him every morning she woke up. If it were not for the lingering sensations, she might have even thought that what happened last night was just a dream.

‘That ruthless tease!’ she thought.

Stella lingered in bed for a while before she finally got up. She had an appointment with Darcie’s assistant at ten in the morning. It was still early, so she grabbed some breakfast downstairs and knocked on the door of apartment 902.

Vermont answered the door. He stared at her, clearly halfasleep, and mumbled, “Just grab a seat. I’ll go get her.”

Stella sat on the couch with her breakfast, as she waited for Felicity.

Vermont returned to the living room, and not long after, Felicity emerged from the same room. Vermont then went back in and did not come out again.

Stella was stunned. Doesn’t Vermont suffer from erectile dysfunction? Why would they be sleeping in the same room?’
