Chapter 881
Keegan could not refuse the President's enthusiasm, so he forcefully pulled himself together and walked over with
his glass.
The President introduced him to the businessmen immigrants who had returned from overseas this year and had
settled in Rivera, so Keegan inevitably had to interact with them in the future.
The President very proudly introduced Keegan to everyone and kept on praising him. Naturally, these people knew
of Keegan even if the President did not introduce him.
The Vinci Rivera Group had already expanded its business presence overseas long ago. Besides, Keegan
participated in many projects the company had overseas. He even went abroad yearly to recruit talents and offered
them high salaries, so he was well-known among international students.
Everyone toasted each other and exchanged pleasantries.
The discomfort Keegan felt seemed to have gotten even worse. While his nausea was relieved, he still felt dizzy,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand the weakness in his limbs had intensified. Apart from these symptoms, he also felt an inexplicable warmth
within his body, causing his throat to go dry.
'Something isn't right with me,' he thought.
Keegan forced himself to hold on and said to the President in a low voice," Mr. Anderson, please excuse me for a
moment."
Keegan set down the glass. Then, he walked out while calling Aldor on his phone.
However, someone bumped his arm before the call got connected. His phone coincidentally fell into the ice bucket
on the ground. Since most of the ice in the bucket had already melted, his phone was submerged in the water.
The attendant paled and said in a panic, "Sorry."
Keegan frowned as his vision kept on swaying. He pushed away the attendant and stumbled to the ice bucket. Then,
he took out his phone.
His phone screen had turned completely dark due to the water and was now completely unusable.
Keegan pressed against his temples and felt his head spinning. He had a splitting headache. 1
"Keegan?"
A woman's voice sounded above him.
Keegan lifted his gaze in a daze.
Meanwhile, Stella felt a little worried after Keegan replied, "Okay," so she sent him another text after a while.
[Where's your banquet held? Why don't... I go pick you up?]
However, she did not receive a response after sending the text message. Keegan did not send her a reply at all.
Stella frowned.
'I don't know why, but I feel a little worried,' she thought.
And so, she texted Aldor.
[Aldor, Keegan seems to be feeling a little unwell. He isn't replying to my texts. Could you please go check on him?]
Aldor's reply was prompt.
[Mrs. Kane, I'm not in Rivera at the moment. Don't worry. I'll send someone to check on him. Once we get in touch
with him. I'll contact you.]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella breathed a sigh of relief.
[Thanks.]
After everyone got out of the car and went upstairs, Stella coincidentally ran into Marshall at the elevator. There
was a bald and fat middle-aged man with Marshall. Stella found him inexplicably familiar.
She did not notice Yolanda, who was standing next to her, slightly changed her expression when she saw the man.
Then, she averted her gaze and pretended she did not see him.
"Stella. What're you doing here?"
Marshall visibly turned happy when he saw Stella. She smiled.
"Our crew is having a gathering, so we came here together. How about you? Are you here for work?"
Marshall nodded. His gaze was warm as usual.
"I wanted to contact you in the next two days, but I didn't expect to meet you before doing so," Marshall paused
momentarily. He continued, "What time will your gathering end? Are you free to have a chat later?"
Stella was startled, "Chat about what?"
Marshall lowered his gaze and laughed, "Chat about how you didn't come to me for consultation and went to a
trainee solicitor in our firm instead."
Stella was speechless.
