Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Kayla took a breath before looking at Marshall. “Mr. Moore, your question is quite intrusive.”
“Sorry,” He apologized in a warm and clear voice. "But I can't ask you for a favor if you have a boyfriend.
Kayla was puzzled, "How so?”
“I'm afraid my mom might catch on." This did not clear things up for Kayla. "Can you be more explicit?”
Marshall sighed. "My family is pressuring me to get married. My mom keeps introducing potential matches to me all the time. I
can't avoid it. I thought of finding someone to deal with the issue temporarily. If she sees me with someone, she might ease up
on the pressure.”
Kayla blinked in disbelief. After a while, she said, "You want me to assist you in fending off blind dates?”
Marshall looked at her and asked, "Is that okay?"
Kayla didn't speak. She knew that Marshall liked Stella. ' Keegan has amnesia now. It's the perfect opportunity to make a move,
yet Marshall has done nothing to pursue her.’
After some contemplation, Kayla thought of the message she saw in her group chat this morning about Stella moving back to
Keegan's place to assist in recovering his memory.
‘Keegan will definitely fall for Stella again. Love doesn't simply vanish because of amnesia, especially if they're now living under
the same roof. But is this why Marshall gave up on courting Stella?’
Kayla had heard from Mark that the Moore family was strict. She wondered if the Moores’ discerning nature regarding daughters-
in-law affected Marshall's relationship status. ‘Did they stop Marshall from pursuing Stella because she was a divorcee?’
It was then that Kayla realized that her dad was still quite reasonable. "As long as you like him, I'm willing to accept him into the
family no matter the circumstances."
‘Does he not think I can find someone good?’ Kayla sighed. She looked at Marshall, "How do you want me to help? Do you want
me to pretend to be your girlfriend or something?”
Marshall shook his head. "We just have to be in touch and occasionally have a meal together."

Kayla realized that Marshall wanted to create an illusion for his family that they might be a potential match. He wanted them to
have an undefined romantic connection.
After a moment of thought, she said, “Mr. Moore, I want to get married someday. Being in an undefined relationship with you
would harm my reputation. What do I do if my potential suitors reject me because of this?”
Marshall froze and lowered his eyes, "Sorry. I didn't consider that.”
"You really didn't,” Kayla said in disdain. "If you want to be in an undefined relationship with me, you should be the one who
takes initiative.”
Marshall did not comprehend what she meant. Kayla explained slowly, "In other words, you're the one who asked me out today.
Does that make it clear?”
Marshall then understood that Kayla didn't want to be known as the person who pursued him. He must be the one who courted
her.
Thinking about it, he nodded, "Yes. I'm the one who asked you out.” After a while, he asked, "So, Ms. Wilson, what do you want
in return?"
Evidently, Marshall saw this as a transaction. Kayla didn't put much thought into it. There are plenty of men in the world, and she
wouldn't be interested in a man who was in love with another woman. However, she was still a little hurt by his question.
“Assisting my friend in winning this lawsuit means a lot. I assure you, I'll repay the favor by helping you.”
Marshall nodded and said, "You've got a strong character, Ms. Wilson."
Kayla noticed how formal he was being and suddenly wanted to tease him.
