Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Not Jealous?

As expected, the courier called her that afternoon, asking her to sign the papers for Miles’ package.

Stella thought Miles wouldn’t be in the office, since he went out that morning, so she signed it with her pen and went up. The sender’s name wasn’t clear, but she could vaguely see a ‘North’ on it. It’s probably from Miss North. This is probably why he took the call. Stella was staring at the package and thinking about taking it to her office, then someone opened the door of Miles’ office and came out to stand before her.

“Oh, you’re here, Mr. Grant?” Stella gaped at him.

“Yes. I came back early.” Miles went to settle some business that morning.

After hearing that, she handed it to him. “Your package.”

Miles didn’t take it. Instead, he looked at her. “Come in.”

It’s just a package, and you want me to send it to your office on my own? she thought.

After closing the office door, Miles tore the package open with a pair of scissors. Then, he took out a neatly packed shirt from it. “185. That’s exactly my size.” Miles looked at it.

Miss North bought it. Of course she knows your size. Maybe she knows some other sizes too, like your underpants. When she reached that point, she thought she had a dirty mind. Hence, she quickly told him, “I’ll be leaving now.”

Miles put the shirt on his table. “Aren’t you jealous?” he asked Stella, who was about to go out.

That caught her by surprise, and Stella didn’t know what to say. It was the first time Miss North made an appearance in her life, and Stella was already panicked. Unable to find an answer to his question, she hurried back to her office. I’m such a loser.
