Marshall looked a little dazed. There was a complex set of emotions behind his eyes when he stared at Stella, which she found strange. "Marshall? Mr. Moore?" Stella called out several times before he came back to his senses.Marshall was aware that he lost his composure. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "I'm just in shock. You look like a completely different person."Stella looked at herself in the mirror and nodded. "Yeah. I was shocked when I saw myself in the mirror. This is the first time I've seen this type of makeup skill. It's like the ancient art of disguise.""You can't really tell in pictures, but people may notice that you have heavy makeup on in real life. However, it's not obvious because you have a good base," the makeup artist said with a smile while cleaning his makeup brushes.After saying that, he teased Marshall and said, "It looks so real, right?"Marshall did not answer. Instead, he stood behind Stella, propped up against the back of her chair a
Stella glanced at Keegan, left the suitcase with him, and washed up. She was no longer mad at him.'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
Carter thought about it and laughed as he handed Lena some tissue paper. "That's fine with me.""Marshall's girlfriend is rather pretty, but her makeup is a little heavy, don't you think?" Carter asked as the two headed over to the wedding.Lena paused when she heard that and asked, "Don't you see it?""See what?""Celeste Thompson is actually Stella Jewell," Lena said slowly.Carter could not believe it. "My dear, I think you've been looking at too many dead bodies in the morgue. Otherwise, why would you be saying such nonsense?"Lena rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Are you doubting my skills?"Carter took some time and thought about how Lena had never misidentified anyone before. It was what she was good at. Her ability to distinguish people's faces was highly accurate. Carter tried to recall what the woman he had just met looked like and realized that she had a similar figure to Stella. Their facial features, however, were completely different. 'Is this even possi
Keegan paused. "Who did you say found a girlfriend?""Marshall. Marshall Moore," Carter said, "You're so close with him. How could you not know?"Keegan pursed his lips.Vermont arranged a dinner together previously, and Keegan went there. But, Marshall did not show up because he said he had work to do. Then, they had not met each other since then.Keegan thought about it and realized that it had been some time since he last saw him.'Marshall has a girlfriend now? It's impossible for Vermont not to tell me that if that's true.'Keegan felt strange as he asked, "Do you know which wealthy family she's from?"Carter paused and said slowly, "I didn't ask that much. She looked unfamiliar, so she's probably not from a family that we know. She's very elegant, and she's a music teacher."Keegan tried to think of a person who matched the description but to no avail.He did not believe that Marshall would date a girl from an ordinary family as his family would never allow that to happe
Marshall was known to be a friendly person, and a lot of people greeted him as soon as he entered the venue.Inevitably, they also asked about Stella.Marshall introduced her to them, and of course, as Celeste Thompson.Stella's face was going numb after constantly smiling.Suddenly, she thought about attending banquets like this with Keegan. Keegan was like a walking iceberg, especially when he ran into people he was not familiar with. Even though many people would greet him, he would always keep a cold face. So, those people would awkwardly walk away after greeting him, which reduced her social obligations.She used to think that Keegan was very unfriendly for doing that. But now, she realized that what Keegan did was push away a lot of meaningless social interactions.The wedding venue was decorated in a very romantic way as all the flowers used there were all real. That alone was already extremely luxurious.Her wedding with Keegan was decorated with real flowers too, and ev
"Oh." Vermont gazed at Stella again, thinking that she looked somewhat familiar. He frowned while looking at her, and something suddenly popped into his head. "Hey, are you—"Corbin's voice came from behind before he could finish his sentence. "Can we sit here?"Vermont turned around and saw Corbin and Felicity standing behind him.Felicity had makeup on, and she was wearing a beautiful little dress. Her eyes were big, and she looked very lively and ladylike compared to how boyish she would usually be.Vermont was a little surprised. However, his expression became stiff and cold when he saw her holding Corbin's arm.He looked at Corbin before shifting his gaze to Felicity. "Why are you here? You know Duncan?"Obviously, Felicity was not a friend of Duncan, but the bride. She used to be a rather close friend with the bride during high school. She was there because she received a wedding invitation from her. The reason she came with Corbin was because she bumped into him downstairs
'Isn't this guy on the plane?'Did he jump off the plane and come down with a parachute?'Did he read my message? Is he going to recognize me?'Vermont then interrupted Stella's thoughts and said, "Why did you come alone? Where's your wife?"Keegan paused and corrected him. "I'm single."He was probably afraid that other people would start introducing girls to him like what Marshall had to go through because he then added, "Still trying to win her heart."Stella kept quiet.'He kept his promise by not announcing our relationship to others.'However, what he said was not any different from blatantly admitting it.Everyone at the table had the "I knew it" looks on their faces.Vermont wanted to make fun of him. But, he thought about it and figured that Keegan would always say that they were just having a small fight between lovers before he got back together with Stella to prove that he was in a relationship with her.Today, however, he claimed that he was single, and there wa
"Marshall, tell us about it."Vermont rested his chin on one hand and asked curiously, "How did you meet Miss Thompson?"His question caught the attention of everyone else as they looked over unanimously.Marshall was the one who had been single for the longest time among them. It was just surprising that he suddenly brought a female partner to attend his friend's wedding.Marshall paused and looked at Stella.They had not made up an answer to this question.Stella looked very calm as she took a sip of her juice before she said, "Through a dating app.""Pfft—" Felicity almost spat out the water in her mouth.She gazed at the woman sitting opposite her. 'The way she talks so quirkily sounds exactly like Stella.'When somebody asked her how she met her husband at the previous class reunion she attended, she would always say with a straight face, "On a dating website."Vermont then noticed something."Miss Thompson, aren't you working at Xenus High School? It's pretty far away
