Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 80 The Back of His Figure Which Passed by Like the Wind

Back in Miles’ office in Hollowcrest, Kevin was reporting the updates of the projects to Miles. This was usually Stella’s job because he wasn’t a person who liked to show his face around much, nor did he like dealing with any government-related projects. He knew he wasn’t one with much charisma, so he would usually use migraine as an excuse. Even though he wasn’t good at expressing himself through words and had low emotional intelligence, he had a unique talent as a designer which he used as his camouflage so that people wouldn’t be able to read him.

On the other hand, Miles usually didn’t have a deep relationship with his employees. Even though Kevin was one of the pillars of strength for the company, their friendship merely extended to the point of being chess partners. Moreover, Kevin’s personality wasn’t particularly appealing to him, so at best, he could only consider him as a chess partner.

“I visited Nordruhe Garden yesterday after work. Please take a look at this design,” Kevin reported.

Initially, Miles was merely smoking nonchalantly, but Kevin got his attention with his words. “Shouldn’t you head east if you’re going there? But I saw you heading west when you left yesterday.”

Feeling as though he had miscalculated and was caught off guard, Kevin explained hurriedly, “I went to visit my daughter first yesterday.”

“Daughter? You have a daughter?” Miles exclaimed in surprise, for he was completely unaware of Kevin’s familial situation.

“Yeah, she’s in Hollowcrest Hospital, and I went to visit her before heading to Nordruhe Garden,” he answered truthfully as it was true that he had visited his daughter first before going to Nordruhe Garden. Despite that, he had no idea when Miles saw him. Maybe he saw me and I didn’t notice it after work yesterday.

“Your daughter is sick?”

“Yeah, but she’s okay now. I’m taking my leave, President Grant.” With that, Kevin left the office, not wanting to spend more time on the topic of his daughter because the more anyone knew about his private affairs, the more uneasy it made him feel.

In the room, Miles called his secretary and instructed, “Looks like Mr. Moore has a daughter who is hospitalized. Find out what illness she’s suffering from and send him some money if it’s a critical disease.”

His secretary took note of his orders. Right after he placed down the phone, he received a parcel.

It was a small document holder and a CD slipped out when he opened it. Baffled by the situation, he used another computer which was almost out of use to open the contents of the CD to avoid a virus attack.

The person who appeared on the screen actually turned out to be Stella. After that, Zane showed up and massaged her legs and shoulders, doing as he wished with her while she lay motionless on the bed.

By now, Miles’ brows were knitted tightly as he placed his hand on his chin. Subsequently, Zane leaned in close to her neck and seemed as though he wanted to kiss her.

Suddenly, the video was cut off—most probably the result of someone’s handiwork—and only a phrase appeared that read, ‘Use your imagination to imagine what happened afterward. I don’t want you to see my Stella!’

At the sight of that, he swept everything on the table off to the floor in the biggest fit of rage that he had ever thrown. He was angered by the contents even though what happened afterward seemed suspicious; he couldn’t even be sure if what he thought happened had really happened.

Although the video was sent from Murdough without any sender’s name, he knew that it had to be Zane who filmed it in secret and sent it to him. Still, judging from what he had seen, he could tell that she didn’t seem to mind any of Zane’s advances.
