Chapter 36 Drink This
Wearing a frown, Miles was confused about her sudden change.
When Stella noted that there weren’t a lot of plants in his office, she suggested, “There aren’t a lot of plants in your office. I bought myself some cactuses and flowers a few days ago online. Why don’t I give you some?”
Miles put his pen down when he noticed that she was unusually chatty. Leaning back in his chair, he examined her, which made her feel uneasy.
“Would you like the plants?” She hid both her arms behind her while hanging her head low, looking like a mischievous girl.
“Okay.” Miles gave his confirmation before putting his foot down. “But you’ll have to take care of the plants if you put them here.”
“What?” Shocked, Stella wondered how she should do that. I can’t just walk in and out of here every day, can I? People will gossip about me! she thought. “B-But President Grant, the plants belong to you as soon as I give them to you, so why am I in charge of taking care of them?” She sounded confused.
“Because I want you to take care of them. Do you have any objections?” He pinned her down with his solemn gaze while explaining casually.
Narrowing her eyes, Stella realized that she had made her own bed, so she relented with a nod. “Alright.”
“Is it too much to ask?” Miles asked. “I can have someone else take care of them if it inconveniences you.”
“Oh, of course not. This isn’t a problem at all.” Upon recalling the goal she had in mind, she was determined to take on anything. Besides, Miles spent a lot of time away from the office, nor was taking care of the plants a difficult task.
“If it’s not a problem, you’ll be required to come to my office every day as soon as you get the plants,” Miles ordered.
To be honest, that wasn’t Stella’s plan, as she didn’t anticipate Miles to make such a request. After she got back to her seat, she wanted to cancel the order she placed for the plants so that she could avoid getting in touch with Miles, but the seller already dispatched them when she checked her order. This is such a bummer.
