Chapter 109 Are You Ignoring Me Because of This

After that, Yulia went to Hong Kong.

On the other hand, Stella didn’t go look for Miles recently. In fact, she didn’t even text him a single message. She was certain that he knew her hatred toward him.

Meanwhile, Miles was sitting in his chair. How could he not know that Stella abhorred him when all evidence regarding Yulia’s rape and Amon’s products being rejected pointed to him.

While she didn’t send him a text, nor did he contact her, for he knew not what to say. All attempts to explain would be considered a cover-up. Even if he denied having sent someone to rape Yulia, he knew Stella would retort by saying that he must have saw that coming, which was true. However, he didn’t know Yulia was so weak when he always saw her as a conniving woman.

During one rainy day, he got off work late. He drove his car to leave from the front of Stella’s company. Stopping his car, he lifted his head to check on her office while lighting a cigarette. Incidentally, Stella was standing by the window with her head leaned against it, while her hands were tracing the trajectory of the rain drops that rolled down the glass panel.

While Miles didn’t know where she was looking, he knew she definitely hadn’t seen him. It’s raining, it’s pouring, and there stands a young lady. Miles squinted at her. She maintained that position for a while before turning to speak to a certain someone, who Miles presumed to be Matthew. Hah, Matthew Xenon, her best friend.

“Are you not leaving, Stella?” Matthew asked.

“Yeah, but it’s raining, so I’ll wait a bit before I leave,” she answered casually. The incident with Yulia was depressing. It drew a wedge between her and Miles, so she knew not how their relationship would progress from now on.

When Matthew approached the window, Stella put on a rueful smile. As soon as Matthew lowered his gaze, he saw Miles’ car parked downstairs. “Aren’t you going down?” he asked again, intentionally.

However, Stella didn’t seem to get what he meant. “I suppose I won’t be going back after all since I’ll be alone at home anyway. Besides, it’s raining. I think I’ll just spend the night in the lounge.”

“That sounds like a plan.” Matthew had his own lounge as he was constantly working overtime. After noticing how frequently Stella was working overtime, he set up a lounge for her as well.

After Matthew got downstairs, he walked up to Miles’ car, inquiring, “Since you’re here, why didn’t you go upstairs?”

Miles spoke. “You won’t understand.” Then, he drove away. After all, Matthew would never understand what
