Chapter 126
His sharp and well–defined features carried an air of nonchalance, and the small tuft of hair at the end only added to his unique
charm rather than appearing feminine.
She couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
“Wow, where did this stunning man come from? In terms of looks, he completely outshines your ex by ten streets, Stellar! You
two are a perfect match!”
That one simple remark stabbed straight into Percy’s chest.
It felt as if blood was gushing from the wound.
He was so furious that his vision swam, nearly making him pass out.
But Stellar ignored him completely.
“Let’s go. Drinks are on me.”
The three of them laughed and chatted as they walked away, leaving Percy behind.
Only after they were out of his sight did Stellar drop her playful facade and turn to Keith with a serious expression.
“Mr. Sincl “Mr. Sinclair, I really appreciate you stepping in back there.”
She had seen Keith before when she was with Percy and knew the two of them never g
That was why she assumed his words were just meant to get under Percy’s skin.
However, Keith held her gaze steadily, his hazel eyes soft and affectionate.
“What if I meant every word I said?”
Stellar froze in shock, her face going completely blank.
“I don’t like jokes like that.”
got along.
Sensing her shift in mood, Keith’s expression darkened slightly before he quickly laughed it off.
“Haha, you caught me. I was just messing with you.”
Stellar finally let out a breath of relief.
Meanwhile, Suzy, standing beside them, caught the exchange and a knowing glint flashed in her eyes, though she said nothing.
Her best friend’s luck in romance was really something!
Then, Keith suddenly changed the subject.

“Well, if you really want to thank me, how about you join me for a few drinks and a couple of games later? I rushed out today and didn’t bring anyone with me.”
By the end of his sentence, his tone sounded downright pitiful.
Stellar heard about Keith’s reputation before.
Word had it that he was a notorious playboy, swapping girlfriends faster than a celebrity changing outfits. The fact that he didn’t have a date with him tonight was already unusual.
She hesitated for a moment.
She wasn’t particularly interested in getting too involved with someone like him.
But before she could decline, Suzy answered for her.
“Sure! It’s just drinks and games, right? I’m great at those. We’ll keep you company all night!”
Hearing that, Stellar figured Suzy was just caught up in the excitement, so she didn’t refuse.
The three of them returned to their corner and took their seats.
Stellar generously announced, “It’s on me! Order whatever you want–go all out with food and drinks!”
Suzy immediately spoke up with enthusiasm.
“I’ll take a bottle of rum!”
“I’ll have a glass of whiskey, then,” Keith said, curling his lips into a smile, his expression both charming and playful,
“Let’s drink till we drop tonight…”
On the other side of the bar, Percy sat with Chris and the others, watching the lively atmosphere around Stellar.
He was fuming.
Ever since she left him, she had completely let herself go.
Not only had she caught the attention of Brighton Group’s CEO, but now even Keith became one of her admirers.
He was so furious that his head was spinning, jealousy eating away at him like poison.
Yet, Stellar didn’t spare him a single glance.
“Percy, you…”
Chris, who was watching the whole thing, cautiously spoke up.
“Are you thinki
“Are you thinking about getting her back?”
Percy kept quiet.

A month ago, Percy would have denied it outright.
But now, he could no longer lie to himself.
“Do you have any good ideas?”
Chris hadn’t expected Percy to actually admit it.
Feeling surprised, he could only rack his brain for a plan.
