Chapter 154
The girl said, “I’m a regular at this place. There’s a dance floor over there and a card room. I’ll bring you
over to take a look.”
Keegan was silent for a moment before he answered, “If you please.”
Stella’s heart clenched abruptly.
When she lifted her head, Keegan and the girl had already disappeared into the group.
‘That girl is gorgeous, and her features resemble Bella’s a little. She’s Keegan’s type, so he has no
reason to reject her,’ Stella thought.
Suddenly, Stella felt a little suffocated.
‘Keegan and I will divorce soon, so he’ll eventually be with other women. Haven’t I come to this
realization long ago? Why do I feel so upset seeing him not reject other women? The saying that one
should meet gains or losses with composure is easier said than done. I know best how hard it is to leave
a relationship. Vermont and the girl beside him also seem to have hit it off and are having a good chat.

pick out the seeds that had not been removed from the lemon slices. However, her mind was still on
Keegan.
‘What’s he doing with that girl? Doesn’t Keegan like Bella Young? He probably won’t do anything with the
girl. But even though Keegan likes Bella, didn’t he still marry me and sleep with me? Men and women
are different; men can completely separate their needs and feelings. So even though he likes Bella, that
doesn’t stop him from sleeping with other women,’ she thought.
While Stella’s thoughts wandered off, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number, so she
rejected the call. However, the person called her again right after she had hung up. Stella took her phone
and went outside to answer the call.
“Hello?”
“It’s me.”
Stella was startled, “Mr. Wood, the director?”
“Mhm,” Daniel skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, “Are you free tomorrow morning?
Come over and try out a role.”
Everything happened suddenly, so Stella’s brain was puzzled for a moment. Her mouth moved on its
own accord, “Didn’t you already cast another actress?”
“That’s for a different role. Are you coming?”
“Yes!” Stella quickly answered as if she were worried he would reject her.
“This role has little parts. Besides that, the pay is really low and probably less than you voice acting for a
drama. Are you sure?”
Stella hesitated for a moment. Then, just as Daniel frowned and thought she would reject him, he heard
her say the very next moment, “Are meals included?”
Daniel was speechless.
“Breakfast is not included, but lunch and dinner are. Supper will also be included if we film at night ”
“Then, there won’t be a problem,” said Stella.

Since she did not have an assistant, settling her meals on set might be somewhat troublesome if meals
were not included.
“Then, come for the tryout tomorrow. I’ll text you the time and address later. Also, this is my number;
save it.”
After Stella hung up the phone, she felt she was still dreaming.
When she returned to the bar, Keegan still had yet to return, and Vermont had also
disappeared. Seeing the attendant coming over to clear the table, she downed the water left in her glass
and called Vermont.
“That bastard’s phone is actually off!’ she thought.
Perhaps the sounds in the bar were too loud because Stella felt her head turn heavy. The blood was
rushing to her head as her cheeks turned warm. Then, she felt her vision starting to sway.
She alertly sensed that something was amiss, so she grabbed her phone and walked out while calling
Keegan’s number.
Before the call connected, someone bumped into her phone, and it fell.
She bent down and picked it up, and her vision wobbled even more. Then, someone tugged her wrist
and pulled her up.
A voice said beside her ear, “Miss, your phone.”
