Chapter 244

When Aldor returned, Marshall entered the room with him.

Stella was shocked when she saw Marshall, “Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?”

“I’ve got an appointment with Keegan to discuss some work matters,” Marshall was as gentle as ever.

He continued, “You’re… Waiting for Keegan to get off work?”

“Who wants to wait for him to get off work?” Stella pouted.

She did not want to discuss the bothersome matters between her and Keegan, so she changed. the topic.

“You two still have work-related interactions?”

“Sort of.”

Marshall did not go into detail since it was work-related.

Aldor looked at the text message on his phone. Then, he lifted his head and said, “Mrs. Kane, please keep Mr. Moore company. I need to go to the conference room.”

Stella waved her hand, “Go ahead.”

As Aldor left, Stella handed Marshall a cup of tea, “Have some tea, Mr. Moore.”

Marshall thanked her but did not touch the “Do cup.

you not like tea? Shall I make you some coffee instead?” Stella asked.

“There’s no need. It’s not that I don’t like tea; I often have it when I’m stopping myself from smoking.

However, drinking too much of it leads to insomnia at night, so I’m controlling my intake.”

“You’re quitting smoking?”

Marshall nodded, “The doctor told me to.”

Stella seemed to agree with his statement, “Quitting smoking is good for your body. I heard Kee- My husband say your illness improved after staying abroad for a few years. Since you already have a weak constitution, you should quit smoking.”

Marshall was astonished, “Keegan told you about me?”

Stella was worried that he felt uncomfortable. She quickly said, “He just brought it up once. He didn’t go into detail.”

Marshall chuckled.

“Don’t worry; I don’t mind. After all, it isn’t a secret anyway.”

Stella initially wanted to change the topic. However, she could not stop her curiosity. She asked, “What illness is it?”

Marshall pointed at his head, “An illness here.”

Stella was shocked.

“Mental illness?” she asked.

Marshall was speechless.

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “Just some illness related to my head.”

Stella immediately felt awkward.

She laughed dryly, “You should’ve said it more clearly…”

Marshall could not help but chuckle, “Alright. I didn’t make myself clear enough.”

Stella scratched her head in embarrassment and asked with concern, “Then, has the illness been fully cured?”

”

“Almost. I occasionally get headaches, but it doesn’t affect my daily life.”

‘It’s such a shame. He’s still so young, yet he spent so many years bedridden,’ Stella thought.

“Take it slow, you’ll definitely recover. You’re so young and awesome. The best is yet to come.

Marshall was a little amused. It was his first time having someone console him this way.

‘How do I put this? It’s like she’s an elderly person consoling a younger person when she’s a few years younger than me,’ he thought.

“How am I awesome?”

“You got so many certificates even when you were sick; isn’t that awesome?”

Marshall was surprised. He asked warmly, “Did Keegan also tell you that?”

“He wouldn’t tell me such things. I saw it on the website myself.”

‘Marshall’s currently working at his friend’s company, so I had looked up his information on that firm’s website before. Even after combining some of the lawyers’ resumes from that firm, their experience is still not as impressive as his. Marshall got a full scholarship for a Master’s in law at a foreign university.

He was a resident author of a top law journal company locally and abroad, has a lot of experience in legal aid, and was a legal counsel for some well-known cases. He was also one of the top ten most favorable bar exam lecturers, taught college students, and has an airplane, diving, and skydiving license… His experience from the past 30 years is way more exciting than what an ordinary person experiences in their lifetime. In hindsight, I may have hired a big shot in the legal profession,’ she thought.
