Love At The Next Stop Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Are You Addicted to This?

Kevin and Stella were standing on the wooden steps at the back door. Although the ringing of the phone wasn’t that loud, it was audible from outside. When Stella turned to check on it, Kevin fished out a bunch of keys from his pocket. “Open the door and go pick up the call.”

Frowning, she asked, “Why do you have the house keys?”

“This is President Grant’s house. He gave them to me.”

Stella’s eyes went wide in astonishment. Ah, I’m such a fool for not realizing sooner. She never saw Kevin in such a good mood while working on any of his past projects. Besides, the lavish mansion had made it apparent that the owner was a wealthy person, and there weren’t a lot of people with as much wealth in all of Hollowcrest City.

In the meantime, Kevin picked out the key for the glass door from the bunch of keys. “Here you go. He has so many doors in the house, so there are a lot of keys, too.”

With that, Stella jogged into the house after agreeing to his request. A woman’s voice came through when she picked up the call. “Miles?”

Startled, Stella answered, “Um, I’m not President Grant. Who might you be?”

“I’m his girlfriend. Who are you?” A lively voice came through with a pointed question.

All at once, Stella was baffled. Who is she? She deemed herself as someone who was easily moved. From the looks of it, Miles latched himself to her because of her status as a married woman. It was safer to have an affair with a married woman, as a married woman wouldn’t need him to provide for her financially, nor would she want to marry him. The realization stunned Stella for a few moments.

“Hello—” The woman on the other end of the line pressed for a reply.

“Oh, I’m a staff member in charge of designing the yard in his house. He isn’t in at the moment,” Stella replied.

“He’s not in the house? How disappointing! He didn’t pick up either when I called his cell phone!” The women cried coquettishly, sounding like a happy-go-lucky woman who was both stubborn yet naive.

After that, Stella placed the handset down slowly, her heart swelling up with negative emotions. She had to pass by a room when she went back out through the back door. Since the door was open, she couldn’t help but take a peek into it, only to see that it was a bedroom. People who lived in mansions would normally have their bedrooms on the upper floors, so she didn’t expect Miles to have a bedroom on the ground floor.
