Chapter 1073
’Really?" Stella was happy to hear Marshall’s comment. It was the highest praise an actor could receive. "You're not
just saying that, are you?"
"I'm not. You’ll see it when you come to the law firm next time. Everyone here is a fan of you," Marshall chuckled.
’Including you?" Stella teased.
"I'm the leader of the fan club," Marshall joked back. "I asked them if they would rather watch The Palace or do
overtime, and they clearly love the show since they chose the prior.’
Stella immediately laughed. As she was about to continue with the conversation, a hand quietly wrapped around
her waist. Then, she could feel hot, wet lips kissing her neck. Stella was startled and let out a yelp.
Marshall paused and asked, "Stella? What's wrong?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella pushed Keegan's head, trying to stop him from causing trouble.
However, the man did not stop. He smothered his lips all over Stella and even slipped his hand under her shirt.
Stella's goose bumps rose as the hot palm touched the skin around her waist. She blushed and held Keegan's hand
down, glaring at him. She whispered, "Are you insane?"
Instead of restraining himself, Keegan kissed her all the way from her neck to her collarbone, biting her with each
kiss. Stella could not stand the stimulation, and her breathing became quicker.
At that moment, Marshall's voice sounded again. "Stella? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Ah. N-Nothing... It's just... Something came up." Stella sounded a little raspy. She did not dare to say anything
more. "Talk to you later," she said and hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, Stella grabbed Keegan by the hair and gritted her teeth as she said, "Are you crazy?
What if Mr. Moore heard that?"
"So what if he did? It's not like he's never seen people do it," Keegan grunted.
Stella wanted to get mad at the man, but she could tell that he was jealous by the tone of his voice. Suddenly, she
could not help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Keegan frowned.
Stella tried to hold herself back and said, "I pretended to be Marshall's girlfriend as a favor. I even told you about it
right away when I saw you. Why are you still being such a sourpuss? You were never this jealous before."
'I was always jealous... I just didn't show it because you never understood why I was upset. Instead, you'd say that
I'm bad-tempered,' thought Keegan.
"Don't you think you're being too submissive to Marshall? You always agree to anything he asks, yet you won’t even
change in front of me when I want you to!" Keegan said unhappily.
Stella's mouth twitched at the sound of that. "Do you hear yourself right now? How can you compare those
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmincidents when they're not the same thing?"
"To me, they are. You reject me whenever you feel like it. But, when it comes to Marshall, you suddenly become
Mother Teresa."
Stella could tell that Keegan was angry and softened her tone. "What makes you say that? I didn't reject Marshall's
request because he had never really asked for my help before. On the contrary, he always helped me. You know
how I don't like owing people favors. I did find it odd when he asked for my help, but it was a way for me to pay him
back. That was why I did it."
When Keegan thought about it, Stella's explanation made sense. However, he did not want to act rationally. He had
been holding on to this grudge for a long time, and at that moment, everything poured out. "You always smile when
you talk to him. Even your voice sounds softer compared to how you speak to me!"
"When have I ever done that?"
"You're doing it right now! See, you're yelling at me. Have you ever yelled at him?" Keegan snorted.
Stella was speechless when she heard that. She then turned her tone around and said in a high-pitched voice, "I
wasn't yeHing- Do you want me to talk to you like this instead-?"
