“What did you talk to him about?” Keegan angrily said when Vermont got into the car.
“Nothing,” Vermont said after a moment. “Don’t you think Trevor is being a little too nice to your wife?”
Those words pierced Keegan’s heart. “I suspect that he planned to steal my girl since the beginning!” he said with a cold face.
When Stella rescued Jaylene, Trevor came over to deliver a Bentley, and his eyes were glued to Stella. Keegan did not think much about that at the time, but thinking about it now, he realized that Trevor looked at Stella differently from the first time they met. As soon as they divorced, Trevor could not wait to sign Stella to his company. His intention was obvious. Keegan and Trevor were friends, but no good friend would do such a shameless thing.
Vermont pursed his lips. “I don’t think he has a romantic relationship with Stella.”
“He doesn’t, but Stella has feelings for him,” Keegan said sadly.
“What?”
“Stella has a crush on Trevor,” Keegan scowled.
Vermont was speechless. ‘Not only is Keegan blind, but he’s become dumb when he’s in love! Earlier, in the underground parking lot, Stella and Trevor kept a distance.
Trevor wanted to help her with her bag, but she politely rejected him. Is Keegan blind? He stared at them for a long time, yet he didn’t see all that?’
‘Stella is obviously not interested in Trevor, but Trevor seems a little too concerned and enthusiastic about Stella. He must be blind to think she has a crush on Trevor. No wonder his arrogance has depleted so much recently; he actually thinks he’s a backup.’
Vermont suppressed his upcoming smile. Instead, he frowned and said with a shocked face, “Stella said that?”
“Mhm,” Keegan responded sullenly.
Vermont looked at his distressed face and could not help but smile. He quickly pinched his cheeks, frowned, and said, “How can Stella be so evil? Why is she still holding on to you by the thread if she already likes someone else? Doesn’t this mean you’re her backup? You have to be strict about this, Keegan. Ignore her, and let her know that you’re not hung up on her. I’m sure she’ll panic and definitely fall for you.”
Keegan paused, gave him a sideways glance, and said, “That’s stupid.” Vermont did not know what to say. ‘Now he’s being rational?’
Vermont stopped teasing Keegan and texted his assistant: [Help me find out more about the relationship between Trevor and Stella.)
‘Nothing good comes for free. Plus, Trevor doesn’t seem like a benevolent person.’
At around 12:30 p.m., during lunchtime, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Leighton walked up to Stella when no one was around and nervously said,” M-Ms.
Jewell, do you want to have lunch together?”
Stella was a little surprised. She smiled and said, “Thank you for the offer, but I’m afraid I must take a rain check. I made an appointment with someone. Let’s have lunch together next time. My treat.” She dared not go out with people alone while her popularity was rising.
Leighton’s eyes showed that he was disappointed, but he was not discouraged. “Do tell me when the time comes so I may have time to prepare.”
Stella was silent. ‘I mentioned next time as a way to reject him. Why is this Tiger so insistent?’
There was no way for Stella to get out of this. After thinking about it, she said,
“Tomorrow, after work, at Hatun. What do you want to eat?”
Leighton immediately became happy, “You pick. I’m fine with anything.”
His manager could not believe their ears. ‘Fine with anything? You’re such a picky eater. You’ve changed over a dozen servants because you did not like their food! The fuck?’
Stella smiled. This Tiger is so easygoing. He’s nothing like what they say in the news. I guess the media really likes to stir up drama.’
