Chapter 1062
Leighton and Stella held their liquor well while Keegan did not. However, he knew himself and did not drink much
during dinner.
On the other hand, Stella was a little drunk. Her face was all red, and she was slurring her words. "Tell me, Leighton.
How much money do top-tier people like you make in a year?"
Leighton was taken aback and did not know what to say. Keegan sipped his tea calmly, thinking about how Stella's
social skills had improved. ‘It's good that she's asking about his financials rather than just handing him the money,'
he thought.
Seeing that Leighton did not answer, Stella began to guess. "30 mil?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeighton shook his head.
"50 mil?"
Leighton shook his head again.
"100 million dollars?"
Leighton remained stationary this time, and Stella's eyes widened.
"After taxes?” She asked.
The man nodded.
Stella put her arms around him and said, "You've gotta teach me how. I wanna earn some money too."
Leighton was left speechless at the sound of that.
Keegan grabbed Stella's hand and put it on his as he said, “There's a high- profile person right here."
"I need to earn more than you," Stella clutched onto Keegan's arm and drunkenly replied.
Keegan tucked a few strands of hair from her cheeks and asked in a low voice, "And then what? You're gonna
propose to me?"
Stella shook her head, and after a while, she whispered, "I want to earn more money so that I can buy your time."
She then closed her eyes and murmured, "I don't want you to be so busy that you don't even have time to travel
with me."
Stella's words left Keegan stunned. The man smiled and looked at the woman. His gaze was tender. "We'll go once it
snows this year, okay?"
"Can we go for two weeks?"
Keegan thought about it and said, "I'll try my best to extend the vacation to more than ten days."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella cheered up immediately after hearing him say that. If Keegan had said something along the lines of, "We can
go as many days as you want," Stella would have thought that he was just playing around. However, she knew that
he was being serious when he gave a specific number.
Stella wanted someone who was earnest in relationships. She would not blame Keegan even if something came up,
and he could not take the two- week leave.
Leighton watched the interaction between the two and felt a little sore. He was envious of what they had. Keegan
could guess what Stella was thinking from a single movement, and Stella, despite being drunk, was still worried
about Keegan working overtime. The chemistry between them was so great that it was clear that they could not
accommodate a third person in the equation.
When dinner was over and it was time to part ways, Keegan called out to Leighton while he was carrying Stella, who
was drunk, in his arms. Leighton still did not like Keegan, but he did not dislike him as much as before.
"I have a friend who is very good at program optimization. Maybe I can introduce him to you," said Keegan.
Leighton paused for a second and asked, "Why would I want that?
