Marshall nodded and replied, "That's fine with me."Stella then picked a Yostranian restaurant for two reasons. First, it would look more formal. And second, Felicity liked Yostrainian meals. She could not pick out which Yostrainian meal was better, so as the safest option, she picked out the one that Keegan often brought her, which was their steak.She then ordered the usual set meal Keegan ordered and handed the menu over to Felicity. After having a look at the menu, Felicity's eyes almost popped out. 'My gosh! I can't believe the steak here cost almost one thousand dollars. If I'd known earlier, I would've gone home and made teriyaki with that Stinky Cucumber. One big plate of that doesn't even cost one-tenth of the price.'Not daring to blindly choose, she picked the same set meal as Stella and Marshall soon picked out his meal as well. Felicity had a favorable impression of Marshall, as he had helped out Stella time after time. Besides, having a lawyer as a friend made her feel
Vermont forced down that weird feeling and harrumphed, "Why are the two of you eating together?"'How do Miss Bandit and Marshall know each other?' he thought to himself.Marshall responded, "Ms. Thompson and I went to check on Stella. She ended up inviting us for a meal." He snickered as he continued, "You got yourself a new girlfriend again?"Vermont replied, "No, it's a blind date arranged by my family. We're just having a meal."Felicity was still drinking her fruit juice as she stared at him. "You're on a blind date, yet you're already holding hands?"'Who are you trying to fool?' she thought.Vermont smiled and replied, "Women swoon before my charm. You were unwilling to let go of me the first time we met, weren't you? Compared to holding hands, this is peanuts."Felicity almost choked to death from that reply of his. She coughed until her face was beet red, and she stared at him. "I was trying to help someone that time!"Vermont took the chair closest to her and sat down
When Vermont heard of the situation in the morning, he felt irritated that Felicity went to Marshall for help. "Why didn't you look for me? I know Stuart very well too."With a mouth stuffed with food, Felicity said, "How do you kno- munch -w I didn't?"Vermont was taken aback. Feeling disgusted, he passed her fruit juice to her and said, "Swallow before you speak."Felicity took the cup, drank two mouthfuls, and swallowed the food before she replied, "How do you know I didn't? I looked for you as soon as I got the call from Stella. I couldn't even get in touch with you. Luckily, Mr. Moore called, so I could only ask for his help. It's a good thing he knew the director. Otherwise, I wouldn't have arrived on time."Stella had two options after the dress was shredded; use the same red dress to get through the training or quickly get Felicity to immediately look for another one.Felicity, having been in the crew for many years, knew a lot of clothing designers. Standard clothing like
Felicity slapped his hand away and glared at him. "Other people grow an inch taller after giving birth. I haven't even had a child yet, so I can definitely grow."Vermont raised an eyebrow. "Have some common sense. Other people get taller after giving birth because of cervix dilation. You're a young lady, so how would your cervix dilate?"Felicity wanted to roast him. However, after hearing him call her a young lady, she immediately forgave the Stinky Cucumber for his words.Vermont raised his head and looked at Marshall."Yoven and his wife are troublesome people, so why would you take this case?"Marshall answered while cutting his steak, "I don't have a choice. She's offering way too much.""Tsk." Vermont replied, "Are you someone who's short of that amount of money?"Yoven was not a good person, and neither was his wife.The couple was in cahoots and often used to send the young girls in their company to sleep with their company's partners.A few years ago, someone had eve
"Please give me the check for table 12. Thank you."The cashier immediately settled the check. Then, a bill was presented soon after.Marshall took out a card."Give me a receipt, please. Thank you."Just as the cashier was about to take his card, Stella went up and grabbed it. She handed the cashier another card and said, "Use mine."Right after Marshall left, Stella felt that something was a little amiss. So, she quickly ran after him. She did not expect him to be there to pay the bill.'There's no such thing as letting the guest you invited for a meal pay the bill,' she thought.Marshall smiled slightly. "Vermont ordered quite a bit. You just started working, and you need to spend money on many things. So, let me pay. You can treat me when your work has gotten stable.""You really don't have to," Stella rejected him. She continued, "I can afford to treat this meal. I was supposed to treat you to a meal when you helped me with the lawsuit previously, but I really had too many
Just as the cashier took the card, a message popped up on the computer screen. The cashier smiled and said, "The bill for table 12 has already been paid for."The two were stunned and looked at Stella.Meanwhile, Stella had a dumbfounded look."Let's go," Felicity hollered. She continued, "The bill has already been paid."Then, she handed Vermont's wallet back to him and patted his chest, saying, "Vermont is generous."Vermont felt offended by her comment.However, he felt relieved when Felicity called him "Vermont."As they exited the restaurant, Stella apologized to Marshall in a hushed voice."Mr. Moore, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."Marshall smiled and said, "You weren't the one who shoved me, so you shouldn't be the one apologizing. Stella, you're just you now. You're not someone's appendage."Stella was momentarily startled. The word "appendage" made her feel slightly uncomfortable.'An appendage... I've always been an appendage of Keegan in other peop
'It's up to me how many points I'll add. If I add 0.1 points each time, he'll never get full points even until he grows old,' thought Stella.Stella imagined Keegan's face dropping after he worked his ass off, only to get 0.1 points. Suddenly, she was in a much better mood.Stella even patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly, "Do your best."Keegan looked at her smug expression and felt his heart turn tender. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the car. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her on her cheek."I will," he said in a low voice.Stella was startled and quickly checked her friends' reactions. Thankfully, they were all busy, and they did not notice them.She gritted her teeth and glared at Keegan."You touched me without my consent. 100 points deducted!"Keegan got annoyed. "You can deduct points too?""Duh! If I can add points, I can deduct them too!"Keegan asked, "Then, in what kind of situation will points be deducted?"Stella repeat
