Love At The Next Stop Novel

Chapter 111 Stella Was Jealous

“Got it,” Miles replied languidly.

Just when the secretary arrived at the door, she saw Stella coming in. “The president is getting a massage in the lounge,” she reminded Stella in a quiet voice.

It seems that he wasn’t lying about getting massages everyday, she mused. When she entered the lounge, she saw Miles lying on the bed, topless. His tanned skin concealed the force he held within him. Meanwhile, Stella had a hard time gauging if he noticed her entrance, for he kept his head turned from her while maintaining his silence. When Janice was working on him, Stella paid attention to how she was massaging him, unconsciously learning her moves.

“Would you like to learn how to massage, Miss Johansson?” Janice tilted her head when she talked to Stella. “I’m almost done with his session, so why don’t you give it a go?” With that, Janice stood up. Their sessions typically lasted around forty five minutes, which in this case, was finished, leaving her flushed and exhausted. After packing up, she informed Miles, “Mr. Grant, I’ll be taking my leave now.” She left after nodding at Stella.

Miles didn’t stand up, nor did Stella speak. She hung her head low while observing Miles, and she noticed that his trousers were pulled down, revealing his taut waist, where his belt hung loosely. “Come give it a go,” he mumbled, his voice muffled.

Stella said nothing when she sat down beside him to start massaging him. The muscles on his upper body shifted under her palms when she kneaded them. There was still some essential oil left over from the session, so her palms were soon slick with oil. “Have my skills improved?” she asked.

“They’re better than before.”

“You need to exercise more.” Stella was panting from exhaustion. With the essential oil, there was less friction, so she had to put in more strength, which made her flush.

“I would rather spend my time working than going to the gym,” he retorted.

Hearing that, she paused for a moment, saying nothing. Then, a knock on the door prompted her to instinctively bounce up and retreat to the side as if being electrocuted. As if having foreseen her movements, Miles grabbed her arm to hold her in place.

Meanwhile, Stella was still trying to back away, as she didn’t want to be caught in an awkward situation when whoever it was at the door entered. However, Miles kept on holding her hand. When he sat up, he dragged her into his arms, making her sit on his lap. Stella felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

so her face was still red. The woman who went to Miles’ office had been observing her with an inquisitive and expectant gaze ever since she got there, which made Stella uncomfortable. Upon reading through the contract, she noticed how unfair the terms were to Zane; it was so biased that the contract seemed to be almost exclusively beneficial to her. He would be an idiot to sign in, as nobody in

she returned home instead of going back to Miles’ office. When she handed the contract to Zane, he signed it, which was out of her expectations. It was as if he knowingly jumped into a trap that Stella dug for him. However, his decision made sense considering that he needed the company in order to bid on the project. He wouldn’t even get a chance to join, nor would he get to earn any money at all if

knew another factor that prompted him to partner up with her. Operating under her company’s name was the only way he could avoid his efforts being impeded by Miles, as the latter would hold back for
