Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 114 They Misspelled His Name

“People no longer take relationships seriously nowadays, so a breakup is nothing uncommon. Am I supposed to keep on pestering my ex after we have broken up?” Gabriella giggled as she spoke.

With a frown, Miles wondered, A breakup? So Stella and I really did break up…

After that day, Stella returned to Murdough. She didn’t go to Matthew’s office as frequently. Since Miles didn’t like that, she refrained from meeting up with Matthew. Instead, she directed all of her attention to managing her shop and processing orders. She also hired a few salespeople to help communicate with the headquarters in Hollowcrest City.

Meanwhile, business was booming. Ever since Miles and Edward Miller signed a contract, Nancy frequented Stella’s shop even more, as she considered them to be more than acquaintances by that point. She was all smiles whenever she dropped by. However, she didn’t know Stella and Miles had broken up, nor did Stella inform her.

One day, Nancy wanted to order another set of clothes for Edward, but she was busy with work at Edward’s company, so she couldn’t leave. However, she managed to pick out the style and fabric for the outfit. Although she could have sent Stella a text and gotten it done, she insisted that Stella should come in person to retrieve the data regarding the type of fabric that Nancy wanted. Besides, Edward’s physique was constantly changing, so Stella would have to take his measurements for every order.

After busying herself with work for an entire day, she wanted to have a drink of water before leaving. However, the water dispenser in the shop had run out of water, and they were waiting for the new bottles to come.

She had an appointment with Nancy at three o’clock. Upon checking the time, she realized she would be late, so she hurried to take the bus. She assumed she might be able to buy some water at a newsstand, but there was none to be found around Miller Corp due to its high-end location. Therefore, Stella had to go into the building tired and thirsty.

She got off the bus near a fire exit that led up to a flight of stairs. Edward’s office was on the second floor, so instead of taking the elevators that were located at the central lobby, she walked up the stairs in her heels. When she finally got there, she was so dehydrated that she felt like she would faint any moment.

Noticing that a pregnant woman was walking out of the office, Stella entered after she left. Nancy was all smiles when she saw her. “You’re finally here.”

The fact that Edward wasn’t in the office was a relief. Stella smiled apologetically before saying, “Mrs. Miller, I’d like to drink some water. I’m so thirsty!”

Aside from an office desk, the only other furniture inside Edward’s office was a coffee table and a sofa. On the coffee table in front of her was a glass full of tea. Stella assumed it was for the pregnant lady earlier, but she didn’t drink it perhaps because she was trying to limit her caffeine intake. Without a second thought, Stella downed the tea, as she was just too thirsty.
