Chapter 28
“Here?” Marshall slowed down and asked. Stella finally returned to her senses, looked outside the window, and nodded, “Yeah,
just drop me over there.”
“Wait here,” she said when the car stopped. Marshall did not know why she asked him to wait. Before he was about to ask her,
Stella had already gotten out of the car and walked toward the opposite side of the road. A few cars passed by, and she was
nowhere to be seen.
About ten minutes later, she showed up again. This time, she was standing at the other end of the crosswalk with two cups of
coffee in her hands, looking both ways, waiting for the traffic to pass. Marshall could not look away when he saw her. Only when
he heard a knock on his car window did he recover. He lowered the window, and Stella handed him a cup of coffee.
Marshall took the coffee and said in a low voice, “My name is Marshall. What’s yours?” Stella was stunned for a moment. She
then smiled and said, “Celeste.”
Aurora was on the verge of going crazy when she heard that Marshall had a girlfriend. “Keegan! Marshall told me he has a
girlfriend. Who is she?”
Keegan still had an upset stomach and was not in the mood to talk. “How would I know?” He said in anger.
“Aren’t you guys best friends? How could you not know who his girlfriend is?”
Keegan grabbed his phone away from her and coldly said, “Aurora, if you’re going to act crazy, then get out!” Aurora kept her
mouth shut. She only dared to act like that when her brother was in a good mood because she was actually scared of him to the
bones.
‘Maybe Stella said something to make him this mad,‘ Aurora thought. She was a little apprehensive when she tentatively asked,
“Keegan, why did that woman come in here just now?”
“What did you just call her?” Keegan glared at her and asked.
“Uh... Why did Stella come to see you?” Aurora reluctantly replied.
“It’s none of your business. Go ask Aldor to come in here.”
Aurora did not dare to talk back at him, so she went out of the office with an annoyed look on her face and called for Aldor. She
wanted to be in the room after that, but Keegan kicked her out. ‘That’s odd. What are they talking about?‘
A few minutes after Aldor entered the office, he came out with two boxes in his hands. Aurora had seen them in Keegan’s office
earlier, but she did not know what they contained. ‘Interesting,‘ she thought.
Aldor did not notice her and drove away with the two boxes. Aurora tailed him out of curiosity and soon arrived at their family
home. She saw Aldor handing over the two boxes to the caretaker and drove off after he said a few words.
After Aldor left, Aurora rushed into her home, took the boxes away from the caretaker, and frowned. “Why did Keegan send
these home?”
“Those are for Mrs. Kane. They’re from Mr. Jewell.”
‘So this is why Stella was at the company! What a family of suck–ups!‘ She thought as she threw the boxes to the ground and
stomped on them several times.
