Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan)
Chapter 406

Chapter 406

Keegan did not like to play riddles. But, he had great respect for Mr. Jackman, so when he heard Mr. Jackman say that, he went along and asked, "Who is it?"

Mr. Jackman smiled and said, "You'll find out when we go inside."

Soon they arrived at the lounge. When the assistant opened the door, Stella immediately saw Marshall sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the lounge. He wore a gray suit and a pair of silver-metal-framed glasses, and he was flipping through some documents in his hands.

"Marshall, guess who's here?" Mr. Jackman said.

Marshall looked up at the sound of Mr. Jackman's voice, took off his glasses, and revealed a pair of warm, light brown eyes. "Keegan."

Stella was a little surprised, but then she remembered that when she asked Marshall to help her with her lawsuit, he told her that he was from Trinity University's School of

Political Science and Law. It was just unexpected to see him here on this occasion. However, Mr. Jackman quickly cleared things up for everyone. Marshall had given two public lectures this morning under a personal invitation from the dean.

Mr. Jackman and the dean of the School of Political Science and Law were good friends. They were also very familiar with Marshall, and they knew about his relationship with Keegan. So, when Marshall finished his public lectures, Mr. Jackman invited him to stay and attend today's recruitment talk. Mr. Jackman also said that they would all have dinner together after the event. Marshall could not refuse such a warm invitation.

In places where the higher-ups gather, there were networking chatters, and Stella could not get a word in edgewise. Marshall, on the other hand, was very talkative and skilled in this kind of situation, unlike Keegan who was quieter and more reserved.

After all, Marshall was from a social studies background and studied law. He was always better at maintaining interpersonal relationships than others.

As the conversation heated up, Mr. Jackman asked Keegan, "Where does your wife work?"

Stella felt a little embarrassed. Being a full-time housewife was not a big deal, but in front of the vice president of her alma mater, she did know how to respond.

Sophia gloated, "Mr. Jackman, my sister also graduated from your university."

Mr. Jackman was very surprised and said with a smile, "Really? Which school did you attend, and what was your major? Keegan is so outstanding, so you must be no slouch either. Do you remember who your dean was? Maybe I even know them. Let's all have dinner together later."

Each question struck a nerve with Stella. She felt embarrassed. But, when she was just about to speak, Keegan said, "She's not working right now. She's at home preparing for conception." Stella was speechless. She thought, 'Even if you're trying to help me out, isn't this excuse a bit too lame?'

However, the answer worked for Mr. Jackman. He asked Keegan to let him know when there was good news. He had already missed Keegan's wedding, so he did not want to miss the baby shower of Keegan's future child.

Hence, the little episode ended just like that. Sophia was frustrated because her attempt to embarrass Stella had failed.

Just then, the staff called Sophia to copy the data from the USB drive onto the computer and prepare the content for the talk. So, Sophia left to take care of it.

The multimedia control room was where they coordinated the display on the large outdoor screen. The content to be displayed on the screen had to be projected from there.

After about twenty minutes, with the help of the staff, Sophia had finished copying everything she needed.

It was almost two-thirty now, and the recruitment talk was starting in half an hour.

After thanking the staff, Sophia went out to familiarize herself with the script.
