Chapter 1484

Stella could not help but ask when she handed him a bowl of soup and saw him chuckling with his head down.

Keegan lifted his gaze, and a faint smile appeared on his face. “It’s nothing. You’re almost done filming the show, right?”

Stella nodded. “Just a couple more days.”

“Are you going to take a break after that, or do you have other work to do?”

“I won’t be in any new productions this year. Trevor helped me secure a role in an art film, and I’ve already met with the director. They plan to start filming around the beginning of spring. So, after The Palace wraps up, I won’t be working for a while. It’s good because I’ll have time to focus on managing the family’s business.”

Keegan asked, “Do you need me to introduce some clients to you?”

Stella glanced at him. “With that attitude of yours, are you sure you’re going introduce clients to me and not sabotage my business?”

Keegan scoffed, “Why do you think those people associate with me?”

Stella said without hesitating, “Because you’re a fool with a lot of money, of course. I’m sure that they earn a lot when they do business with you. Otherwise, why would they give you such expensive jewelry and gifts?”

Keegan was speechless.

“Do you really think that my clients gave me those things?” Keegan retorted.

Stella paused. She suddenly thought of the bag she sold to Bella and asked in a low voice, “You didn’t buy all those things for me and pretended that they were gifts from your clients, did you?”

Keegan glowered at her. “How much do you think they can earn from a single deal? Why would they give me such expensive gifts? Do you think they’re all crazy?”

Stella kept quiet.

“I don’t know if they’re crazy or not, but I’m sure that you are. If you want to give me something, just do it. Why would you come up with a lie like this and expect me to know the truth? You’re so weird.”

How can I tell her I was worried she might not like the gifts, and I’d feel embarrassed and hurt if that happened?’ he thought.

So, he came up with another lie. “You love an aloof man, don’t you?”

Stella said helplessly, “Aloof to other people, except to me. Do you really think that you deserve a wife for being aloof?”

Her words left Keegan speechless.

“So, do you want me to introduce clients to you or not?”

Stella immediately stopped roasting him. “Yes, I do!”

Keegan continued eating leisurely. “You know, there’s no such thing as free lunch.”

Stella snorted. “Rest assured, I’ll give you a commission.”

Keegan smiled faintly. “That’s not what I want.”

“Do you want me to marry you, then?”

Keegan chuckled softly. “I’m not going to use this to make you marry me. I want you to do that willingly.”

‘What a sweet talker!’

“What exactly do you want, then?”

“We’ll talk about it once you close a deal with the clients,” Keegan said.

“Okay, then.” Stella lowered her voice and said, “If you can help me close ten or more deals, I wouldn’t mind doing anything you want in bed with you.”

“Ahem-hem—hem-“

Keegan choked on his soup, and his face turned red.

‘How could she say such bold words without changing her expression at all?’

Keegan blushed, as he said, “Have some decency!”
