Meanwhile, Stella was not idle either. She decided to reach out to relevant authorities and discuss apotential collaboration. She got up at six in the morning and set off with Ted. All parties showed up byaround 8:00 a.m., and they delved into the matter for over five hours. It was almost 1:00 p.m. whenthey finished the meeting.
Stella glanced at the documents in her hand, and relief swept over her.
“You could always retain a portion of the land, you know,” said Ted.
Everyone knew how expensive land was in Rivera.
“This plot of land was originally in my grandfather’s. He entrusted it to my mother before passing, and itbecame my responsibility since her departure from the world. My grandfather knew that his twoyounger brothers probably would not be heard from again. Still, he guarded the land, seeminglyawaiting a reunion. What I’m doing is not precisely a donation, either. The land inherently belongs tothe state. I’m just giving it back in advance by donating my grandfather’s mansion,” Stella smiled andsaid.
Ted glanced at her and muttered, “You could consider donating a portion of Keegan’s estate to increaseyour reputation.”
Stella did not know how to respond. She bit her lip and asked, “Mr. Eldrich, did Keegan bully you orsomething when you were still in school?”
It took Ted a moment to say, “He once took the water I boiled for my noodles to soak his feet. Does thatcount?”
Stella fell into thought. ‘I guess it does since not many would remember such an incident so clearly…’
As she mulled over this, Keegan called her on the phone.” What are you guys talking about?” heasked.
Stella paused and looked around her. She then heard Keegan say, “I’m on your right.”
Stella turned her head and spotted a familiar black Mercedes parked nearby. She recognized the car’slicense plate and walked toward the vehicle after saying goodbye to Ted. Just as she approached,Aldor emerged from the driver’s side. He circled around the car and opened the door for her.
Keegan was wearing a white suit today, and his hair was neatly styled. At first glance, he looked like hewas about to get married.novelbin
Stella entered the car, and Aldor promptly closed the door behind her. She took a quick glance atKeegan and asked,” Are we… going on a blind date?”
Keegan remained silent.
“Mr. Kane just came back from a ribbon-cutting ceremony. He thought it’d be nice to pick you up for ameal.” Aldor chuckled.
“Oh. I see. And where are we dining?” Stella inquired.
“The choice is yours,” Keegan responded.
Stella eyed Keegan’s attire and said, “I’m thinking of going to a Yostranian restaurant. People wouldprobably think you’re crazy when they see you in that suit if we go somewhere else.”
“Then it’s settled. Let’s go get some Yostranian food.”
Thus, at the entrance of a Yostranian establishment, Stella found herself standing next to her first love.
