‘I guess only Keegan knows how to deal with my nonsense,’ she thought after having flashbacks of their time together.
“When will we be leaving?’ Stella got up and asked.
“Now,” Marshall glanced at the time and replied.
Stella checked her phone several times for Keegan’s response on the way to the wedding venue. He had told her that his flight would land at 5:00 p.m. But, it was already 6:30 p.m., and she still had not heard from him.
“What’s wrong?” Marshall asked in a low voice when he noticed her looking at her phone.
“Nothing.’ Stella clutched onto her phone and looked up. “How long till we reach the venue?” She asked.
“We’re here.”
Stella paused and immediately glanced out the window. She did not know who Marshall’s client was, but she assumed that he was not an ordinary person since the wedding was held in one of the best hotels in the city.
The parking spaces near the hotel were occupied by all kinds of luxury vehicles. This was enough to show how grand the wedding was going to be.
Marshall got out of the car and walked over to open the door for Stella. He stretched out one of his hands and said warmly, “Come.” Stella put her hand on his as she grabbed the end of her dress with her other hand.
When the two entered the elevator, they ran into Carter and his wife, Lena.
Stella subconsciously wanted to say hello. However, before she could say anything, she heard Carter say, “Is this the girlfriend you told Duncan about? N
Stella shut her mouth in an instant.
“So, he has told you,’ Marshall laughed.
“He said something about a rare occurrence that only happened in a million years, and I knew he was talking about you.”
Stella was able to gather some information from the conversation between the two men. ‘The person who is getting married tonight is Carter’s cousin, Duncan. When Duncan started his own company, Marshall represented his company as a legal counsel for a whole year. Their connection isn’t as simple as Marshall made it sound. It was more than a client-attorney relationship. Marshall’s bond with Duncan seems similar to his bond with Keegan.’
After Carter and Marshall exchanged pleasantries, Carter’s gaze fell on Stella once more. ‘Aren’t you going to introduce us, Marshall?” he asked.
Marshall graciously pulled Stella over and said, “Carter, Lena, meet Celeste Thompson. Celeste, meet the Lowe’s.” Stella changed her voice to become unrecognizable and said hello to the couple. She used to perform in shows and movies, but this time, she was acting in front of her real-life acquaintances. Even though there was a low chance of her being exposed, she still felt a little awkward.
Suddenly, Stella regretted agreeing to help Marshall with this favor. She would not have come if she had known that the wedding was going to be filled with people she knew.
“What do you do for a living, Ms. Thompson?’ asked Lena.
“I’m a music teacher.”
“Oh,” Lena replied without another word.
Lena excused herself to the restroom when they arrived at the floor where the wedding was held. “I’ll go with you,” said Carter.
“Whatever,” Lena responded. Carter did not find her answer to be cold and immediately followed behind her.
When Lena came out of the restroom, she saw Carter leaning against the door, waiting for her. “No one will dare to come into the restroom if you’re standing there,” she said while washing her hands.
“Don’t you feel safe and secure?” Carter laughed.
Lena shook the water off her hands and said, “You know I’d be the one to protect you if a mugger shows up.”
