Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 24 I’ve Underestimated You

Stella was a new employee to begin with, so she didn’t hold much weight in the company, and she wasn’t given anything important, nor was there any value in persuading her to stay. In the eyes of her colleagues, she had a rich husband, so she didn’t need to support the family. Thus, the company approved her resignation very quickly.

However, it so happened that Miles came to the human resources department to have them prepare some employment documents for a new general manager who’d be joining the company soon. Subsequently, he caught sight of her standing in the human resources’ office, so he picked up her termination papers, looking all business-like as though the man who’d forcibly kissed her the previous wasn’t him. “Come with me,” he said to Stella.

Uneasiness gripped Stella as she wondered why he wanted to talk to her. When she arrived at the president’s office behind him, Miles was already sitting in his chair and signing something with a flourish, seemingly her termination papers. Upon seeing this, she breathed a long sigh of relief. He approved my resignation instead of forcing me to stay as I’d feared.

She’d always felt that Miles was an unfathomable person. He doesn’t talk much, but one remark from him is worth ten from others. He also rarely shows any expression on his face, so I can’t perceive anything from his countenance. Plus, he never wears his emotions on his sleeve other than the one remark he uttered yesterday—‘I kissed you. So, what about it?’—that carried a tinge of anger, so I can’t tell the kind of person he is.
