There was a photograph of the two on Keegan's desk.In the photograph, Keegan wore a suit as he sat in a chair, while Stella stood beside him in a red dress.The man had an icy expression, while the woman had an alluring smile.It was taken during the break time of their wedding photo shoot back then. The photographer thought the two made a beautiful scene, so he took a photo of them doing these poses.The finished product looked good. It was also Stella's favorite photo. This photo was also the huge wedding photo framed on the wall of their living room.Stella even deliberately developed a smaller copy and had it framed into a photo frame. Then, she sent it to Keegan's office. After Aldor signed the parcel, he placed the photo on Keegan's desk.What Stella was currently drawing was that photo of them.However, Stella drew herself beautifully, while the place Keegan stood had a dog. Besides that, Stella had a dog leash in her hand."What're you drawing?" the man's icy voice sou
Marshall said, "How does Japanese sound?" Then, he turned to the two beside him, "What do you two want to eat?"Stella said, "Sure. There's a pretty good Japanese restaurant at Elias Street.""How about you, Keegan?" Marshall asked Keegan.Keegan did not answer. Instead, he asked Stella, "I thought you didn't like Japanese food?"Marshall was a little surprised."If you don't like Japanese food, we'll have something else. I was just suggesting."Stella rolled her eyes at Keegan, "Nope, don't listen to him. He doesn't even know what I like. I love Japanese food."Keegan frowned as his gaze darkened. Then, he stopped talking and had a tense expression.'Marshall loves Japanese food. I can tell from his extensive knowledge of Japanese cuisine. Besides that, his dining etiquette is incredibly elegant. Previously, we ate together at a cheap eatery in front of my college, but I didn't feel a thing. It was probably due to the environment at the time. Now we're dining at a Japanese wit
Keegan was speechless.'Vermont's also my friend, but I don't see her hesitating when she rips him off,' he thought.He studied Marshall carefully.'I suddenly realized... Marshall is pretty good-looking,' he thought again.The more Keegan thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. So after that, he did not speak during their meal.However, Stella seemed unaware of his emotions. She was all smiles as she ate and chatted away with Marshall.Keegan paid the check and went outside. Stella was talking to Marshall while they stood at the curbside."Mr. Moore, where are you heading? We'll give you a ride there after this," Stella said in a slightly warm and gentle tone.Since they all came in a car, Marshall would have to hail a cab if the two of them left.Marshall handed her a few mints he had taken from the counter just now. Then, he smiled, "There's no need. I have something to do nearby, so I'll just walk and stimulate digestion."Then, he saw Keegan walking over, "You
"Mr. Moore was taking photos on the rooftop, and I mistakenly thought he was secretly taking photos of me. I snatched his phone away, and this is the first meeting you speak of! You're making accusations at me, but have you ever respected our marriage yourself?"Stella's pent-up anger had almost dissipated, but Keegan's words once again stirred up the frustration she had experienced today."Other husbands respect and love their wives, but how about you? Maya went to your company and caused trouble. Yet, you were worried that you'd take things too far, causing you to lose your support and damage your reputation. And so, you asked me to come and made me the scapegoat. You let me become the bad person and take the blame while you get the good reputation of someone who treasures his old employees. How cunning of you."Keegan's expression darkened, "In your heart, I'm a villain who shirks my responsibility to a woman?"Stella was furious, so she said without thinking, "You're not only a
Stella knew very well that Daniel did not pick her because of her acting skills.She did a good job, but there were a lot of other actresses who could do better than her. They had their fanbase and were more popular than her too. She just did not stand a chance among them.Daniel had no reason to pick her.Stella kept quiet for a while before she pursed her lips and said, "Because I'm new, not signed by any agency, don't cost a fortune, and can act for a bit. I matched all your criteria for picking a cast, and I'm the perfect candidate for you to stand against capitalism. You don't have to use anybody you don't like on your own set, and you won't have to worry about offending any company if anything goes wrong with me."Daniel was stunned. He could not remember the last time he worked with a sharp actress like her.Stella's face was just too deceitful. It would always mislead people into thinking that she was just an ignorant woman.Not only her but many actresses around her age
It had been very long for Daniel since he saw that passion in a young actor's or actress's eyes.The way that he spoke made him sound like a lecturer, and Stella felt warm and funny listening to him."I wasn't planning on just getting fame at all. I'm not trying to let my fans decide whether I can get into a relationship."Daniel was speechless.'Didn't she say that she's married? So why does she want to get into another relationship?'Daniel kept those questions to himself as he said, "Just be careful. Make sure to call me whenever you're caught in trouble. You'll start working next week. Don't let me down."Stella smiled. "Sure, Mr. Wood."Kelly got so stressed out after getting bashed by the netizens. She would think somebody texted her to scold her whenever she heard a notification sound from her phone.She spent so much effort on the online drama she invested in. She even got Bella to make a guest appearance. However, she got nothing in return.She begged everyone she cou
Bella tried to calm herself down as she asked softly, "Didn't you tell me that there was a vacant role just a while back? How did you find someone to fill that role in such a short time?"Then, Kelly said, "I recommended you to Daniel when we auditioned for the queen. I was sure he would sign you. You're such a good candidate, and you're pretty famous too. However, Daniel suddenly brought a girl from nowhere to the audition, and he immediately got very interested in her. He wouldn't listen to my opinion. In the end, he ended up signing an amateur with no experience. I have no idea what he's thinking!""An amateur?" Bella's face turned ugly. "What's her name?""It's..." Kelly thought for some time before she continued, "Ste... something, I think. I can't remember. I haven't met her before, and she did not mention that she acted before on her resume either. However, Daniel decided to use her right after the audition. Honestly, I don't think she can act better than you. I wonder if tha
Wein nodded. However, Bella stopped him as he was about to call Keegan. "No, don't say it like that. Instead, tell him I got hurt on set and ask him to come over."Wein was shocked. "Mr. Kane will know you're lying when he comes here."Wein had only met Keegan a few times, but he could tell that Keegan was not the type of person who could be easily fooled. He felt very strange at Keegan's relationship with Bella too. Keegan would give Bella a lot of support, yet it was nothing like other rich men wanting to date a star.Keegan only visited Bella at work a few times, but he cared about her a lot. He would always be there immediately whenever Bella got hurt, just like after the accident and what happened at the charity event.Bella was just fine, yet he would still be very worried.Wein could not figure out what Keegan was up to. Besides, he was Bella's manager. He did not want Bella to be too close to him.Bella was a star now, and she could become an A-lister and have a bright fu
