Chapter 820

Keegan looked at the way Leighton and Stella were talking, and his eyes burned with anger. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Stella’s number. Seeing that it was Keegan, Stella looked at Leighton and said,” Sorry, I have to take this call.” She then turned around and walked away with her phone.

Vermont saw the raging fire in Keegan’s eyes and thought he would be sly and sarcastic on the phone.

But, to his surprise, his voice was gentle when the call connected. “Is it over? Are you tired?”

Vermont was speechless. ‘Imagine if she could see your face right now,’ he thought.

“I’m alright. Just feeling a little warm. Did you leave?”

“No, not yet. I reserved a table at The Deli to celebrate your success.”

“Don’t overorder. The weather is hot, and I don’t have much appetite right now.”

“I’ll ask them to make something light. You need the energy to deal with work,” said Keegan.

“Okay,” Stella replied after thinking about it.

Keegan smiled and said, ‘Til wait for you in the car.”

After they hung up, Keegan turned around and saw Vermont, dumbfounded. Vermont blinked and said, “Were you possessed by a monster or something?”

Keegan shot him a side eye and said, “Go sit in front.”

Vermont was shocked. “I’m taking back what I said. You have no morals when it comes to girls!”

Vermont was wondering why Stella was being so nice to Keegan. It turns out that Keegan had changed his strategies. He now spoke in a soft tone. ‘Isn’t he just acting like Marshall?’ he thought.

Vermont sat in the passenger seat and fastened the seat belt. He then turned over and said to Keegan, “Don’t reveal your true intentions after only a few days of pretending, okay? She’ll see right through you.”

“Shut up!” Keegan said angrily.

Aldor parked the car in a secluded place, and Keegan sent Stella the location. After a while, she got into the car with a hat and sunglasses. Keegan immediately opened a bottle of water and handed it to her.

Aldor raised an eyebrow as he thought, ‘Mr. Kane is progressing pretty fast.’

Stella grabbed the bottle and took two sips before she spoke. “When did you guys arrive?” she asked.

“We arrived a little later than you,” Keegan said while observing her expression. “How did you get here?”

“Trevor arranged a car for me.”

‘Trevor…’ Stella suddenly paused and said, ’There’s something I have to tell you, Keegan.”

“What is it?” Keegan replied.

“Well, Trevor was very interested in Luna and wanted to borrow it from me for a week. I agreed.” After giving Luna to Trevor, Stella felt bad for not consulting Keegan about it since the robot was extremely valuable and patented. “Do tell me if you think I made the wrong decision. I’ll ask Trevor to give it back.

You don’t have to worry about hurting my feelings. I’ll be fine.”

‘I knew it! Trevor was the one who shamelessly wanted to borrow Luna!’

“That’s fine. Let him have it for a few days if he likes it.”

Luna knew its master and had a self-defense program. Trevor would have to go through a lot if he wanted to know more about its build.

“Are you sure?” Stella asked, afraid Keegan was just trying to make her feel better.

“Not exactly,” Keegan said in a low voice. “I’m not really happy that you gave what I gifted you to someone else. Soooo… You must find a way to make me feel better.”
