Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 65 He’s Getting Married

‘No surprise there. How could the president possibly allow his woman to do sales?’ Lisa replied.

Stella didn’t quite understand this remark. What does it mean by ‘the president’s own woman’? And what’s wrong with doing sales?

However, before she could even catch her breath in the design department, Kevin sought her out, saying that renovations for the landscape she’d designed with him a few days ago had been completed, so he was waiting for the president to check and approve it. She’d only been at the sales department for a handful of days, so she naturally knew all about the landscape. The landscape was very spacious, so the effect was incredibly stunning with the former’s design concept of a traditional painting vista. Hence, she went with him though she’d been in a bad mood these few days.

Miles hadn’t yet arrived when they both reached, so Stella wandered around the various rooms. Kevin, on the other hand, vanished to parts unknown.

As she stood by the back window in Celestial Room, the front and back doors were open, so a breeze brushed past. From her position, she could see the lush bamboo forest at the back, the ancient style shining through strongly. Poking her head out the quaint window, she basked in the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers outside. At this time, she heard faint voices drifting over. She initially paid no attention to them, but her eyes snapped open when the voices drew nearer. On a closer look, it was actually Miles.

Miles was talking to Kevin, but he then tilted his head and caught sight of her. Stella, however, pretended that she hadn’t seen him, turning her head to the other side. Then, Miles continued talking with Kevin and walked past her.

When Stella exited Celestial Room, she saw no sign of Kevin, merely spotting Miles smoking under a tree with a hand in his pocket, cigarette smoke lingering around him. He truly smokes a lot. She was planning to surreptitiously sneak past him, but a voice then rang out from behind her. “Stop right there.” All at once, she stopped in her tracks, and the man then turned around. “It’s rather beautiful. You designed this?”

This was the first time Miles had ever complimented her, so she naturally felt a wealth of warmth within her. She nodded and said, “Yup.”

Lifting a hand, Miles placed it at the side of her face and tucked the scattered hair behind her ear. Amidst the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, Stella dipped her head a fraction, a blush staining her cheeks. As Miles stared at her, a smile actually bloomed on his face. “Have you ever shown such an expression to another man?” He brushed his fingers across her face gently. Her skin is smooth, and the sensation is delightful.

In response, Stella shook her head.

Leaning close to her ear, Miles whispered, “If you show this to any other man, I’ll make the man’s life a living hell.” Subsequently, he spun around and left.
