Stella hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Keegan's request and hung up the phone. As she waited for the red light, shetried to fix her hair while looking into the rearview mirror. She felt relieved only when her bangs covered the wound on herforehead.
The building where Keegan usually did his experiments was built on the outskirts of town. Stella knew where it was but neverwent there before. This was because non-authorized people were not allowed inside the building. Moreover, some materialsused for experiments were radioactive, meaning they had to put on a special suit when entering the premise. Naturally, Keegandid not want Stella to go anywhere near the place.
Stella parked the car across the entrance of the building and was about to call Keegan when he walked out of the gate. Heseemed to sit in the guardhouse, waiting for her to show up.
Stella put her phone aside and watched him stride over step by step. 'He looks so good in that suit. | bet he wore it because heknows | like it. After all, his company doesn't require him to wear formal clothes to work.’
Keegan was already in front of the car as she thought about that. He knocked on the window, and Stella lowered it while smiling."You look handsome today, Mr. Kane."
Keegan glanced at Stella and said, "I look handsome every day.""That's true, but you're extremely handsome today!" Stella quickly praised, trying to ease his mind."Go over to the passenger's side. I'll drive," Keegan said.
Stella did as she was told obediently. Keegan opened the door on the driver's side and got in the vehicle. He did not rush to startthe car. Instead, he grabbed Stella's chin and brushed her bangs away from her forehead. Stella tried to stop him, but he heldher back. The stitches she got were not obvious, but since the wound was a little red and swollen, it was still noticeable.
Keegan's lips tightened upon seeing that. "Did you hit them back?" He asked."| couldn't hit. There were too many people there. I'm a public figure now, so | have to act like a role model,” Stella said truthfully."You should've diverted the crowd and hit them back."
Stella was speechless when she heard his suggestion. "The police have her in custody. Mr. Moore told me she won't be able tocome out for a while.”
Keegan paused and sullenly asked, "Do you want to explain why you were with him?"
Stella was quiet for a moment before she said, "Would you believe me if | told you | ran into him while buying groceries at thesupermarket?"
“What do you think? He's a lawyer. He should be working on cases. Why in the world would he be at the supermarket buyinggroceries?"
Stella frowned. "What are you trying to say? Do you think I'm lying? Do you think | asked him out on purpose?"
Keegan pursed his lips and said, "That's not what | meant."novelbin
"It seems pretty clear to me that that's what you were insinuating!"
Keegan stayed silent. "I told you to stay away from him. Why didn't you listen? Why didn't you avoid him when you saw him? Doyou even remember what you promised me?"
Stella started getting angry after being questioned like a criminal. "Since when did | not listen? Would | drive myself homedespite my injury if not for my promise to you? No. | would have asked him to drive me! There are times when it's okay to bejealous, Keegan, but now is not the time.
Marshall is your friend, and I'm your partner. What do you think would happen when we're together? Don't you trust him? Don'tyou trust ME?!"
