Chapter 54 Who Am I to You

Miles looked pensive.

Stella received a text from the property manager asking her to pay her maintenance fees. It would cost her twenty-six thousand. Zane was the one handling that matter when he wasn’t jailed, and Stella never cared about it. She didn’t know she had to pay that much, until that message reminded her. She didn’t have money for it though, and asking for a loan from her colleague would look bad. Her reputation would be marred no matter whether they’d lend it or not.

When she was in that dilemma, Stella heard her colleagues whispering about.

“President Miles is here.”

Her heart started to race. He’s back? She quickly put the card down and went back to work.

Miles came for Kevin. From the corner of her eye, she could see them engaging in quiet discussion. She didn’t know what they were talking about, and she didn’t know a lot of things, but she was excited. It had been ten days since she saw him. Even though he was taken, she was fine with just looking at him from afar.

Miles seemed to be looking at her, but she didn’t look at him, for she was nervous and wracked by guilt. Miles went around the office and paused for a moment when he went past her, but she didn’t think much about it.

After he was gone, she realized the card he gave her was on full display on her desk. Oh, sh*t. Her heart skipped a beat. He must’ve thought I’m trying to get the money.

She wasn’t surprised he knew she was facing a financial crisis. Miles knew a lot about her matters. When she wore the Burberry coat she just bought to work, Miles was already giving her a look when they met in the elevator.

At that time, Stella was confused about the look he gave her, but after what happened, she realized what he was trying to say. He must be thinking: “Oh, buying a coat with your whole salary? Let’s see how you’re going to survive this month.” Damn, that’s embarrassing, but I have bills to pay. I’d rather borrow from him than anyone else. I have the card, so all I need now is the password. How should I tell him though? Since he knew she had the card, Stella decided to ask him.

May I know the password?’ Stella didn’t mention the fact she knew she was the only one who had the card. It’d make asking for the password look natural.
