Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 39 Do You Fancy Married Women as Well?

Although Zane was finally treating Stella like his wife, he still didn’t have sex with her. He didn’t even consider it, as he sent her off to bed right away. While wondering if it was because of Miles’ threats, she came to see that she wasn’t the only one who was afraid of Miles.

By the next day, Korbin gave her a call to tell her that Miles had stopped attacking Zane’s company at her behest. Seeing that Miles was no longer persecuting them, Korbin sounded self-conceited for managing to secure his money.

However, Korbin had no idea about what had transpired behind the scenes, so he felt that he owed Miles a huge favor. Stella didn’t know much about business dealings, nor was she able to read Miles’ mind. All she knew was he was deep, as well as protective of his girlfriend.

Today, Kevin had her send some blueprints to Miles’ office. The task wasn’t supposed to be handled by interns, as it was her job to hand in the blueprints for the gardenscape in Miles’ mansion. After getting upstairs, she handed the blueprint to him. Miles looked through it seriously. Before she could leave, he threw her a question out of the blue. “Did Zane change his tactics?”

“What?” Again, Stella didn’t quite get what he meant. Though it was true that she didn’t understand why Miles would change his tactics toward Zane’s company all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, Miles was still fixated on the blueprint. “He knew I wouldn’t do anything to him if he treated you nicely, so he used you to threaten me. He sure is a smart one.”

Startled, Stella realized belatedly the reason behind the sudden shift in Zane’s attitude. Is he using me as a shield, or did he recognize me as Miles’ Achilles’ heel? Is this why Miles stopped attacking his company? Is it that obvious that I now represent Miles’ weakness that even Zane came to realize it? Her mind was buzzing with questions. “I’m sorry, President Grant. I don’t understand what you mean.” She feigned ignorance.

“It’s best that you don’t understand. Women should live in an innocent and pure world.” As usual, Miles avoided the question without giving her an explanation. It was her second time hearing his opinion of women, with the first being his comment about Kevin’s wife being a typical woman who conducted spot checks on her husband. This would be the second time she heard his thoughts on women, saying that they shouldn’t think too much.

No matter how she looked at it, he seemed to have a preference for vain and dainty women. Is his girlfriend someone like that? She sounded coquettish and stubborn, so she must be. Stella kept on comparing herself to the woman whom she never even met. However, she knew she could never tell Miles about it, all the while reminding herself to put some distance between herself and this man who flirted with her despite having a girlfriend.

Stella excused herself before leaving the office, only to bump into a man in the corridor before she was able to go back to her seat—the man had a tall stature, handsome features, as well as a smug grin on his face.
