Semua Bab Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted: Bab 1591 - Bab 1600

Marshall nodded and said, "Take your time."Despite having promised to be with them after ten minutes, Stella got caught up with work and could not break free. Ten minutes turned into twenty, and she was still nowhere to be found.Kayla looked at the time and asked, "Mr. Moore, how is it that you're friends with Ms. Hall?"Marshall looked at her, seemingly surprised by the question. Nonetheless, he responded, "Stella has a good personality. She's warm-hearted and loyal to her friends. She's someone worth knowing.""But didn't you say you don't like people who don't value punctuality? She said she'd be here in ten minutes, but it's been twenty, and she still hasn't come down yet. Don't you want to write her a note and leave?" Kayla queried.Marshall was taken aback. He then realized who she was. The recent string of arranged dates was more of a family obligation for him. He did not intend to pursue any romantic relationships. So, he made excuses to end each date.Kayla's mention o

Kayla looked at the two and suddenly noticed that Marshall regarded Stella as more than just a friend.Before the group finished their meal, Stella's phone rang. Her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the caller ID. She grabbed her phone and said, "Excuse me while I take this call outside."Marshall was visibly disappointed once Stella left.Kayla calmly took a sip of her water as she thought, 'Does Marshall have a thing for his friend's partner? Woah. The romantic dynamic in the entertainment industry is wild.'Meanwhile, Stella walked to the terrace and answered the phone."Why did it take you so long to pick up?" The person on the other line sounded displeased."It was too noisy inside. I just stepped out of the restaurant," said Stella. "Are you done with work?""Yeah," Keegan replied. "I'm on my way to pick you up. We won't have time if I go any later.""What do you mean?"Keegan lowered his voice mysteriously, "I prepared a surprise for you."Stella laughed and asked,

Stella bid farewell to Marshall and reminded him to escort Kayla home."Sure thing," Marshall replied.Stella waved and quickly stepped into the car. Aldor nodded at Marshall and got in as well.As the car drove away, Marshall stood in place, watching it gradually fade from view.Inside the car, Stella leaned against the window and looked outside. After a while, she began to sigh deeply."What's wrong? Regretting that I interrupted your dinner with Mr. Moore? Feeling disappointed that you had to leave?" Keegan teased.Stella would usually have a comeback. But after noticing Marshall's feelings for her, she could not muster a spirited response."Keegan, can I ask you a question?" Her tone was serious.Keegan looked slightly surprised. He raised his chin, unscrewed his water bottle, and said, "Sure." He then took a sip of water, ready to attend to Stella's inquiry."Am I the type of woman men fall for at first sight?"Keegan choked on his water when he heard that.Stella hande

Stella chuckled, "Is Trevor really that unreasonable? Lately, he has been including your share whenever he sends me something. So don't go around bad-mouthing him."Keegan laughed at the sound of that, "The chairman election is next week. If I get chosen, I'll probably be busy for the first half of the year. I don't want you to be disappointed with me for being unable to travel with you."Stella lightly caressed his ear, "Why would I be disappointed with you?""I used to neglect family because of my job. I didn't even know when you fell ill."'I didn't divorce you because you were too busy with work,' thought Stella. But upon some consideration, Keegan indeed used to be overly immersed in work. He was not good at understanding people's emotions and did not like explaining himself.At that time, Stella was a full-time housewife, and being alone for too long led to overthinking. This led to various misunderstandings, which snowballed into their separation.Keegan often reflected on

Wenham pretended not to know about the incident, "I'm not involved in the affairs of the jewelry store. Stella did not tell me anything, so I have no idea what's going on. Please stop crying. I'm sure you don't want your children to witness you like this. I'll inquire about the situation when Stella returns. Trust me. I won't stand by her if she's in the wrong."Chris's wife, usually preoccupied with looking after the children and playing Mah-Jongg, lacked the sharpness of mind to see through Wenham's act. Moreover, Wenham's gentle demeanor and apparent lack of awareness left her uncertain. She cautiously glanced at Darcie.Darcie's expression remained stern as she addressed the situation, "Chris changed our material supplier in secret and padded his own pockets. What more is there to discuss? I've treated him well over the years. I thought he was diligent and reliable. I let him assist Stella, thinking it was a good way for him to earn some extra money. If his salary wasn't enough,
