Chapter 821

Stella heard this and knew he did not mind her lending it to people. Keegan would not use the results of his team’s labor to coax her. He also would never use the company’s achievements to impress her.

However, when Stella saw Keegan wanting her to comfort him, she could not help but feel it was hilarious.

She glanced at the front row. Aldor was not averting his gaze while Vermont had already taken out his phone. He had turned on his front facing camera and was watching them boldly.

Stella could see Vermont mouth out the words from the screen, “Don’t spoil him.’’ Stella retracted her gaze and turned around to ask Keegan, “What do you want as your consolation?”

Keegan got close to her ears and whispered, “I want you to add two hundred points.” Stella was speechless. He is as good as it gets. He would have tried to obtain more from it had he used more of his brain. Stella used her purse to put a barricade in front of them to cover Vermont’s camera before saying,” Did Vermont and you make a bet? Why does he care so much about us?”

Stella was being nice when she chose the word care. Vermont was obviously trying to sabotage them.

Keegan also said in a low tone, “It isn’t really a bet. When I pursued you before this, I consulted him about some matters. He was probably worried I couldn’t successfully court you, and I would have asked him to compensate my learning fees.”

Stella was at a loss for words.

‘Vermont doesn’t look like he is worried Keegan can’t pursue me. He clearly doesn’t want him to get me so soon. This blockhead!’ Stella thought.

She lowered her gaze and gave Keegan a look, “I can give you other types of rewards.”

Keegan lifted his gaze, “Mhm?”

Stella pinched his jaw and gave his cheek a hard peck. This allowed her to successfully leave a red lipstick mark there.

Keegan was stunned. His gaze immediately heated up. He closed in to try to kiss her, but Stella stretched out her hand to pinch Keegan’s mouth shut. She then said softly, “Don’t push your luck.”

Keegan’s expression immediately became sullen, but he was still ecstatic deep down.

Stella put her purse down and sat up straight. Vermont’s eyes were bulging out when he saw this. He had a deathly stare at the lipstick mark on Keegan’s cheek. It just grinds his gears.

‘Fuck! How did he get the kiss!’ Vermont cursed internally.

Stella saw the annoyance in Vermont’s eyes, and the corner of her lips curled into a smile. When it comes to bullying Keegan, there can be no one but her.

Stella nonchalantly took a tissue from her purse and passed it to Keegan. She then pointed at his cheek, “You should wipe it.”

Keegan took it but was not in a rush to wipe it. Instead, he tapped on Vermont’s shoulder, and he turned around. Keegan then asked, “Should I gift you a company?”

Keegan did ask him a valid question, but the son of a bitch talked to him while slanting his face. He was purposely showing him the lipstick mark on his face. He looked just like a peacock who had just won his mating rights. Flashing his tail and showing it off everywhere. It was so… infuriating.

Vermont insisted on not allowing Keegan to have his way by answering,” I’ve been keeping you company the whole morning. I am also hungry, and I want to eat.”

Keegan furrowed his brows, “Your butt doesn’t hurt anymore? Stella does like to eat spicy, though.” The underlying meaning was that Keegan would not take him into consideration.

Vermont’s expression was about to crack as he bellowed, “I’ll go even if it hurts! At worst, I’ll admit myself at the anorectal department!”

‘I also want to be the third wheel there!’ Vermont thought to himself.

Aldor quietly started the car and thought, ‘How relentless!’ Keegan naturally was not as ruthless as he said he was. He still accommodated Vermont’s tastes and ordered a few dishes to Vermont’s liking.
