Chapter 954


    ‘I guess only Keegan knows how to deal with my nonsense,’ she thought after having shbacks of


    their time together.


    “When will we be leaving?’ Ste got up and asked.


    “Now,” Marshall nced at the time and replied.


    Ste checked her phone several times for Keegan’s response on the way to the wedding venue. He


    had told her that his flight wouldnd at 5:00 p.m. But, it was already 6:30 p.m., and she still had not


    heard from him.


    “What’s wrong?” Marshall asked in a low voice when he noticed her looking at her phone.


    “Nothing.’ Ste clutched onto her phone and looked up. “How long till we reach the venue?” She


    asked.


    “We’re here.”


    Ste paused and immediately nced out the window. She did not know who Marshall’s client was,


    but she assumed that he was not an ordinary person since the wedding was held in one of the best


    hotels in the city.


    The parking spaces near the hotel were upied by all kinds of luxury vehicles. This was enough to


    show how grand the wedding was going to be.


    Marshall got out of the car and walked over to open the door for Ste. He stretched out one of his


    hands and said warmly, “Come.” Ste put her hand on his as she grabbed the end of her dress with


    her other hand.


    When the two entered the elevator, they ran into Carter and his wife, Lena.


    Ste subconsciously wanted to say hello. However, before she could say anything, she heard Carter


    say, “Is this the girlfriend you told Duncan about? N


    Ste shut her mouth in an instant.


    “So, he has told you,’ Marshallughed.


    “He said something about a rare urrence that only happened in a million years, and I knew he was


    talking about you.”


    Ste was able to gather some information from the conversation between the two men. ‘The person


    who is getting married tonight is Carter’s cousin, Duncan. When Duncan started his ownpany,


    Marshall represented hispany as a legal counsel for a whole year. Their connection isn’t as simple


    as Marshall made it sound. It was more than a client-attorney rtionship. Marshall’s bond with


    Duncan seems simr to his bond with Keegan.’


    After Carter and Marshall exchanged pleasantries, Carter’s gaze fell on Ste once more. ‘Aren’t you


    going to introduce us, Marshall?” he asked.


    Marshall graciously pulled Ste over and said, “Carter, Lena, meet Celeste Thompson. Celeste, meet


    the Lowe’s.” Ste changed her voice to be unrecognizable and said hello to the couple. She


    used to perform in shows and movies, but this time, she was acting in front of her real-life


    acquaintances. Even though there was a low chance of her being exposed, she still felt a little


    awkward.


    Suddenly, Ste regretted agreeing to help Marshall with this favor. She would not havee if she


    had known that the wedding was going to be filled with people she knew.


    “What do you do for a living, Ms. Thompson?’ asked Lena.


    “I’m a music teacher.”


    “Oh,” Lena replied without another word.


    Lena excused herself to the restroom when they arrived at the floor where the wedding was held. “I’ll


    go with you,” said Carter.


    “Whatever,” Lena responded. Carter did not find her answer to be cold and immediately followed


    behind her.

    When Lena came out of the restroom, she saw Carter leaning against the door, waiting for her. “No one


    will dare toe into the restroom if you’re standing there,” she said while washing her hands.


    “Don’t you feel safe and secure?” Carterughed.


    Lena shook the water off her hands and said, “You know I’d be the one to protect you if a mugger


    shows up.”
