Stella smiled and said, "Darcie, you should have someone clean it up now. If the room is not cleaned, he won't be able to stay if he wants to. You can't only clean the room whenever he wants to stay, right? He's not a guest, yet there's no room available for him."Wenham had never thought much about it. Trevor had always been a willful and stubborn person from a young age. He did not like staying at home after growing up. Wenham had talked to him about it a few times but eventually stopped bothering him because he figured his adult son should be able to make his own choices.However, now that Stella brought it up again, he suddenly felt her words made a lot of sense.He had to at least give the little brat a room to stay no matter what. Besides, he would eventually bring his future wife back home. And if they only began cleaning the room when his daughter-in-law stayed in the house, it would make him look biased.So, he turned and said to Darcie, "Stella is right. Get someone to cl
Darcie said, "Jaylene has been staying in the hospital for the past few days, and I had a lot of work to do in the office. I couldn't spare the time, so it got delayed."She shifted her gaze to Stella and smiled as she continued, "I wanted to talk to you about it, but it seems you brought it up first before I could."She appeared to be smiling, but her eyes did not look friendly at all.Stella had a smile on her face, too, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry too. It's just that I know you're a busy person and it's difficult for you to have some free time. I have a pretty busy schedule, too, and I have to rush over to the set at any time with just a phone call from my team. That's why I thought it'd be better to finish it as soon as possible since I have a day off today. You're my elder; it won't be right for me to keep you waiting. That would be impolite."Darcie tightened her grip on her utensils, shot her a glance, and pressed her lips together, "You're overthinking. After the meal, we
'Stella cares about me.'That thought lasted only for about ten minutes. When he was driving past the office of Vinci Rivera, Stella told him to drop her off there.Trevor furrowed his brows, "It's after work hours. Why do you want to come here?""He's working overtime today." Stella put on a mask and a cap and picked up the items she had looted from Jaylene's room. Then, she said to Trevor, "I'm going to put a couple of these decorations in Keegan's room. His office is too boring."Trevor's eyelid twitched, "What about my office?"Stella replied, "What if Jaylene wants them back when she sees them in your office? She's your sister, too. Plus, you grew up together. Would you have the heart to not give them back to her?"Trevor kept quiet.If Stella had bought the decorations for him, he would definitely not give them to Jaylene. However, the thing was that Stella acquitted these decorations through "unconventional" means, so he would most probably give them back.He understood
Jackson could not process what Stella was talking about.She continued, "Even if you don't, have you ever taken a good look when you're in the bathroom? The only thing you and Keegan have in common is your gender. I'd never bother to look at Keegan if he looks as ugly as you."The elevator doors opened after Stella said those words. She picked up the bag on the floor and walked outside without even looking at him.Her good mood was immediately ruined by Jackson!Still in the elevator, Jackson glared at her receding back until the doors closed completely.Keegan was working in the technical department, and Stella waited for him in his office as usual.She opened the bag and took out the items she had taken from Jaylene. She selected the two best-looking ones and placed them where Keegan would notice them immediately.When Keegan finally returned from his work, he saw his girlfriend sitting on the sofa, poking at the decorations on his coffee table with a bored expression.Her in
'Or does Stella actually think that this is romantic in a way?'Keegan felt as though he should play along with it, so he swept his glance across Stella and copied her tone. "Why would you suddenly give me a car? Ms. Saun, do you think that I did a good job in serving you well? Is that why you're giving me a reward?"Stella kept quiet.'Why does that line sound so familiar?'She instinctively retorted before she could process what Keegan just said. "Are you sure that you served me well? All you do is lie there."Stella finally realized why Keegan said that.It was something she said when Keegan asked her what kind of necklace she wanted back then!Keegan was taken aback, as he did not expect her reply to be so straightforward.His memory was exceptionally good, so he could clearly remember what Stella said preciously. He hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice, "Well, I moaned from the bottom of my heart if that counts."Stella was speechless.She was a little sh
The place was empty, and no one was there.Although that was the case, Stella did not believe that it was just her imagination. The feeling of being watched was simply too intense and impossible to ignore.'Could it be paparazzi?' she wondered to herself.The Palace had finished airing for some time now, and the show's popularity had cooled down too. Although the role gained her some fame, she was not particularly a hot shot that would make paparazzi follow her.Just as she was thinking about that, Keegan's car pulled up in front of her. "Get in."Stella snapped out of her thoughts and got into the car.In the car, Stella kept looking out of the window until the car finally drove out of the parking lot. Then, Keegan asked, "What were you looking at?"Stella averted her gaze. "I feel like someone was watching me when I was waiting for you just now, but I couldn't see anyone around."Keegan paused. "I'll have Aldor check the surveillance footage later."Stella was a little surpr
Stella could not help but ask when she handed him a bowl of soup and saw him chuckling with his head down.Keegan lifted his gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "It's nothing. You're almost done filming the show, right?"Stella nodded. "Just a couple more days.""Are you going to take a break after that, or do you have other work to do?""I won't be in any new productions this year. Trevor helped me secure a role in an art film, and I've already met with the director. They plan to start filming around the beginning of spring. So, after The Palace wraps up, I won't be working for a while. It's good because I'll have time to focus on managing the family's business."Keegan asked, "Do you need me to introduce some clients to you?"Stella glanced at him. "With that attitude of yours, are you sure you're going introduce clients to me and not sabotage my business?"Keegan scoffed, "Why do you think those people associate with me?"Stella said without hesitating, "Because yo
Keegan was not exactly happy with the fact that Stella was going to move back to the Saun residence.He had done so many things to finally live under the same roof with Stella. And now, after just a while of living together, his girlfriend was going to move back to her house and have a curfew.Keegan turned the steering wheel, as she asked, "Are you going to stay there tonight?""I'll move tomorrow. I'll go back tonight and pack."Keegan was reluctant to be separated from her, but when he thought about how long Stella had been away from her own family and how much Wenham missed her, he realized that there was no reason for him to be unhappy.He pursed his lips and said after a long pause, "Then, I won't go back to the office. I'll pack with you. If you're going to move up, there's no reason for me to stay there anymore."Stella looked at his resentful expression and chuckled. Then, she whispered, "I'll only stay there temporarily, and I'll have a reason not to go back when I star
