Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 113 Breakup

The contract was to be signed in a room in a hotel. When Stella got there, Zane was already present with the other company’s president, who was eyeing Stella lecherously. Seeing that creeped her out, so she made up her mind to never accept any food or beverage that she was offered.

The signing of the contract went smoothly. Then, the president commented, “I never knew that you’re such a pretty young lady, President Johansson. This is rare. Allow me to give you a toast, Miss Johansson.”

However, she turned down the offer by telling him that she was a lightweight. After all, who knew what he might have added in the wine. All she wished for was to leave as soon as possible after signing the contract.

After they were done, the president left, leaving Zane and Stella alone behind. Seeing that, Stella heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she might have worried too much. It wasn’t until she checked her phone that she noticed that Miles had sent her a text. ‘You shouldn’t go to any event relating to the signing of the agreement. You have to avoid contact with Zane.’

Panic kicked in, but it was too late to leave now, so she wondered what she should do. Just when she was panicking, Zane rested a hand on the back of her hand. “Stella, it has been a while since you last came to Murdough. I haven’t seen you in a long while. I miss you a lot.”

Hearing that prompted Stella to immediately give him a slap. No wonder Miles wouldn’t let me come. He was wary of Zane. On the other hand, Zane was dumbfounded by the slap. Stella had never been so violent ever since they met each other. Agitated by Stella’s reaction, he was about to force himself on her when Matthew barged in while pointing a finger at him. “Stella has kindly helped you out, you freaking b*stard!”

Zane felt wronged by what happened, for he was slapped before even doing anything. All he wanted was to have a heart-to-heart with Stella. With his eyes wide, he glared at both Matthew and Stella. While he was initially wearing a look of fury, he started to laugh at them in derision. “Is it because Miles had dumped you, or are you cuckolding him? Why else would you be with Matthew?”

Stella was overcome with rage, for she had been all worked up over her relationship with Miles these couple of days. Meanwhile, Zane had just reached the entrance, but he had yet to get into his car when he saw someone walking up to him. When he noticed that the man was none other than Miles, the latter already landed a loud, hard punch on his face.

After staggering backward, Zane collapsed on the ground. Just a few moments ago, Stella had slapped him on his left face, and now, Miles punched him in the right face. However, he dared not lash out in front of Miles. Judging from Miles’ reaction, Zane knew that the former was aware that he was trying to get in touch with Stella.

On the other hand, Miles already knew what happened in the hotel, but he didn’t even spare any time to speak to Zane. When he entered the room, Stella was talking to Matthew. She told him that she didn’t expect Zane to have such an agenda behind it. In return, Matthew offered consolation by telling her that it was alright as long as everything turned out well.

Stella still had lingering fears of what had transpired, but she agreed with him. “Yeah!” When she turned around, she saw Miles standing behind her, which prompted her to grin in surprise. “I didn’t know you’re here!” Despite Stella’s elation, Matthew quickly realized that sh*t had hit the fan; Miles was a man, and it would take a man to know one.
