"I'll pay you a visit on the set then."Stella's eyelid twitched. "It's fine. You're going to affect my work."Keegan smiled and said. "Don't worry. I won't stand by the bed this time.""Just wait for me outside. I'll tell the director to shoot my scene first."Keegan agreed.Stella got changed and came outside after she was done with her part. Then, she saw a Maserati stopping right in front of Keegan's Mercedes, and both cars' windows were rolled down. Trevor had a pair of sunglasses and was resting his elbow on the door when he looked at Keegan with a smirk. "Mr. Kane, don't you need to work? Why are you coming to the set so often? Are you a guest actor now?"Keegan glared at him. "Well, I should at least check on the progress of the movie I invested in as the boss, right?"Trevor frowned. "When did you invest in a movie? I didn't know at all."Keegan said without holding back. "Did you pocket the two hundred million I invested in your company? Did you forget that I own El
Stella's head hurt when she saw how Keegan and Trevor insulted each other.For some reason, she felt like Trevor was more bothered about her not getting any money after the divorce than her. She figured that he had crossed his boundary as just her boss.In fact, she felt like Trevor had been paying extra attention to her ever since she started working for him. He also visited her very often to send her food and clothes in the company's name, so she could not reject them.However, Stella noticed that even though the other artists he recruited would also receive benefits from the company, the benefits would never be as generous as what she got, let alone having the boss himself doing everything personally.The way that Trevor treated her exceeded the line of how a boss should treat his employees. Normally, it would mean the boss intended to take advantage of his employee.However, Trevor never wanted anything from her.He would always take her to different restaurants to enjoy deli
To be honest, how well Trevor treated her was kind of scary to her.Marshall treated her very well too, but he would never reject her when she repaid the favor by giving him gifts or money.There was a difference between Marshall and Trevor. Marshall was more like a friend at work who would do her a favor without troubling himself, but Trevor was a person who would give her everything for free without wanting anything in return. Stella just could not accept it.That was when Stella could relate to the saying; free things are often the most expensive.She was afraid to accept Trevor's kindness because she knew she could never repay it. She bowed at Trevor. "I'm sorry, Mr. Saun."Trevor was speechless.'We just got closer, and everything just went back to the start. Why is she calling me Mr. Saun? I don't want to be just Mr. Saun to her!'Trevor hid how upset he was and put on a smile. "It's fine. There's nothing to be sorry about. Go on. I'll rearrange the appointment to another
Stella's hand that was holding her phone paused as she immediately noticed Keegan's jealousy.'Does this dumb man really think I have a crush on Trevor?'Stella rolled her eyes and suddenly started acting.She sighed and said, "I'd be lying if I said I have absolutely no feelings for him. He was once my crush, after all."Keegan kept quiet.Then, he said in a deep voice, "Why did you reject him and come with me then?""Because..." Stella drawled before whispering into Keegan's ear, "Because someone looked so sad and disappointed, as if he would start crying if I didn't come with him. I couldn't bear to see that."Keegan paused and was delighted. He wrapped his arm around Stella's waist and held her chin with another. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who's going to cry?"Stella chuckled and pinched his ear. "Were you worried that I'd go with him?"Keegan turned her head and kissed the back of her hand. "I'll understand if you go with him because of work." He paused before
Stella was very tempted but rejected Keegan's offer anyway. "You bought me plenty of new clothes previously, didn't you? I hardly wore any of them. I shouldn't be buying any new ones now."Keegan looked at her. "I was talking about myself."Stella was speechless.Keegan smiled and walked into the fashion store after saying that. She gritted her teeth and followed behind him.'How could he do this during his probation period? I'm going to deduct his marks!'Stella forgot about deducting Keegan's mark completely as soon as she entered the store.The latest collection had just arrived, and the store was filled with various clothes designs. Stella liked everything she touched, but she put them back after seeing their price tags.Keegan rarely went shopping with her because he was always busy. Stella could really take her time in a store.Stella could make a decision immediately when it came to a huge amount of money but would become very hesitant while dealing with little money.S
"Which one do you think is nicer?"Stella had two dresses in different hands and asked Keegan.Keegan looked over and found out that both dresses had a collar and the same pattern. He could not tell their difference apart other than their color.Keegan pursed his lips then said, "The lighter one."Stella finally thought Keegan had a sense of fashion as she said, "I think so too, but it costs twice as much as the darker one, yet both of them use the same material.""Get the darker one then."Stella paused. "Am I not good enough to get the more expensive option?"Keegan was speechless.He gazed at his cheeky girlfriend and slowly said, "Actually, you can put a paper bag over your head, and other people will think it costs a million. The value of a piece of garment comes from the person who wears it."Stella held her laughter and asked, "How much is Aldor charging you to teach you this?"Keegan answered seriously, "It's included in his bonus."She threw her bag at Keegan. "Wait
The manager asked Stella gently, "Miss, you have fair skin, and this color suits you very well. What do you think?"Stella nodded and asked, "How much is this?""Three thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, and members get to enjoy a five percent discount."Stella looked at the tag. "It's made from polyester fiber. It's not worth the price at all."The sales assistant immediately spoke as if she finally had the chance to mock Stella. "Just say it's too expensive, and you can't afford it. There's no need to find excuses for yourself."Keegan frowned. He was about to speak, but Stella grabbed his wrist.They understood each other so well that Keegan immediately knew that Stella did not want him to intervene as soon as she did that.Keegan swept his gaze across the sales assistant with a long face. Then, he pursed his lips without saying anything.The manager slightly told the sales assistant off and said to Stella with a smile. "The price is the same across all of our stores. Y
However, Keegan did not dare to speak his thoughts out loud.He took the pair of socks over and put them in a bag. Then, he asked curiously, "How did you know that they were acting?"Stella answered, "I wasn't sure at first. It's a pretty normal thing to encounter a snobbish salesperson like her, but she was just way too arrogant. She didn't even think she did something wrong after her manager came, and she still provoked me in front of her manager by repeatedly saying that I couldn't afford them. That was when I knew something fishy was going on.The manager was acting rather strangely too. All she did was tell the salesperson off without actually penalizing her. Also, did you notice how they kept looking at your wrist? Your match is the most valuable thing you put on today. They probably thought that you're a foolish rich man and I'm your pretty sugar baby who happens to be stupid. That was why they tried to provoke and fool us into buying everything."Then, she proudly said, "Th
