Chapter 68
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella nodded.
Marshall asked again, âTrinity University?â
Stella paused and said with a smile, âThere are six universities around here. What made you guess that particular one?â
âDo you remember that I was looking at something on my tablet when you just arrived at the coffee shop earlier?â
Stella nodded. She looked very confused as though she wanted to ask him what did that had to do with her question.
Marshall smiled and replied, âI was looking at the clips you dubbed in. You sounded very skillful, and I guess you probably dedicated some time to learning that. And, Trinity University is the only place that you could do that.â
Stellaâs cheeks turned extremely pinkish.
She would feel proud whenever she looked at how the netizens praised her through the screen. But, she got very shy when Marshall complimented her in person.
âSo, did I make the right guess?â Marshall asked with a smile.
Stella nodded. âImpressive, but how did you know this place? Youâre not a graduate from around here too, are you?â
Marshall smiled without answering her.
Then, an idea popped into Stellaâs head as she tentatively asked, âAre you from Trinity University too?â
Marshall lifted the edge of his mouth and stretched his arm out. âMarshall Moore, a law student from Trinity University.
âWhat are the chances?!
Stella reached out slowly. ââ¦Hello, senior.â
Marshall was amused by what Stella called him as he gently said, âJust call me by my name.â
The afternoon sun was very hot when they queued up in front of the restaurant. The sunlight slanted in and landed right on Stella.
She had fair skin, and her cheeks turned pink after being exposed to sunlight. There were pinpricks of sweat on her nose as well.
A thought flashed across Marshallâs head, and he grabbed Stellaâs hand just when she was about to let go. Then, he led her to the side and switched positions with her The sunlight cast a shadow behind Marshall and shaded Stella.
Stella was stunned However, Marshall looked very natural as he softly asked, âAre you fine with cold drinks?
She recollected herself and smiled. âSureâ
Some people could never be as meticulous as Marshall no matter how hard they tried, but some per were just born with it Vermont took off his glasses, as he stared at them from across the road.
Isnât that Keeganâs wife?
Why is she with another man?!
And, theyâre holding hands?!
âKeegan didnât tell me anything about divorcing!
Is this woman cheating on Keegan?â
Countless cliché drama scenes immediately flashed across Vermontâs head, as he was overwhelmed by his own imagination.
He quickly took out his phone and snapped a picture.
The pretty lady sitting in his passenger seat got a little upset. âDidnât you say you were going to take me to a photoshoot? Why are you taking pictures of another person?â
âCalm down,â Vermont said without looking at her. âIâm catching someone in the act.â
The pretty lady frowned. âWhat do you mean?â
Vermont looked at the pictures he took and smirked. âDonât ask. Knowing too much isnât good for you.â
The lady pouted and stopped talking.
Then, Vermont picked a few pictures with tricky angles and sent them to Keegan. [Mr. Kane, youâre in trouble]
