Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Stella grabbed Felicity’s wrist and said in a low voice, “We’ll talk outside.”

After getting into the car and hearing Stella talk about what happened inside, Felicity widened her eyes.

“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Daniel let you audition for the role of the beauty? Does he intend to let you play the beauty?”

Stella shook her head. “I don’t know. How could he let me play such an important role? Besides, hasn’t someone already been cast for this role?”

Felicity winded up the window.

“They’re all rumors online. No one is sure if anyone, in particular, has been cast. Besides, Daniel isn’t against casting newbies.”

Regardless, Stella still was not confident.

On the other hand, Felicity was bursting with confidence. “Did Daniel say anything after your audition?” Stella shook her head, “He told me to leave my number. Maybe letting me audition was a spur–of–the- moment thing.”

“It would be great if you could play the beauty’s role. But, getting the role of the fourth female lead isn’t bad either. After this, let’s get a good meal to celebrate,” said Felicity.

Stella was amused.

“Nothing is certain yet. Isn’t it a little too early to celebrate?”

“Then, let’s celebrate you leaving that grave of a marriage. These are all happy events anyway.”

There was a newly–opened grilled skewer restaurant on Fellows Street. It’s been viral recently, and it constantly appeared on Stella’s social media feed. Accordingly, the food there was pretty good.

When Stella and Felicity arrived, it was packed. There was no parking space outside, so they could only park at the underground parking lot in the mall across the street.

“Since when?” she asked stoically.

“What kind of a tone is that?”

Stella’s confrontational tone made Albert incredibly uncomfortable. It sounded very much like Rainee’s tone back then; a patronizing attitude that made others feel irritated and suffocated.

“Then, you tell me, what kind of tone should I use when I see my father acting intimate with another woman? You don’t have the time to visit my terminally ill mother yet have the time to have a rendezvous with other women?”

Albert was furious. “Watch your attitude when you’re talking! If I hadn’t spent money to get your mother on life support, she would’ve died a long time ago! It’s been six years since she got into that accident, and she’s been lying down for six years, neither dead nor alive. Am I supposed to spend my life watching over a vegetable who’s neither dead nor alive?”

Stella tightened her fists, and her heart grew cold.

Perhaps Albert realized that he had gone overboard, as he softened his tone and continued, “Stella, I was in my forties when your mother got into that accident. No man can watch over their comatose wife for the rest of his life. I can promise you that I won’t get a divorce, but I have my needs as a healthy–bodied man. Look at the big bosses in the business world. How many of them don’t have a couple of lovers? I only started looking for lovers after your mother’s accident, and it was only because I have biological needs.”
