Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Divorce Agreement

Stella was ashamed, and she was on the verge of tears. “Um, I didn’t expect the conversation to go around quickly.”

“Is that so? Of course it’ll go around quickly. You’re not that far from me,” he answered.

Dammit. There’s no end to this. Stella found the situation to be problematic. She wanted to leave the place that was making her head hurt.

When he noticed she was looking shy and awkward, he said, “She’s not my girlfriend.”

She replied, “Does that have anything to do with me?” She then left the office, but on the way back, she inexplicably cheered up.

When she just came back to the office, Kevin came to her in a hurry. “Well, you seem capricious today, Stella, but no time for a chat. Get prepared.”

When she asked what they were preparing for, Kevin said the client from America had come for an on-site visit, and she would be welcoming them. The news surprised her, since she didn’t expect them to come so soon after accepting Miles’ invite.

She was getting nervous though. Since she was the one who went on the trip with Miles, she had the duty to welcome them. Luckily, some of her design department colleagues went with her, and the administrative department was responsible for the itinerary. Everyone was working hard so they could penetrate the American market, since they just lost a big client a few days ago.

Kevin asked Stella and Lisa to welcome the clients, and that night, the three of them were the welcoming committee. Miles wasn’t there though, and Stella wondered why. Maybe he doesn’t need to take part in this personally.

Since they knew Stella, the Americans kept asking her questions and gave her toasts. Stella wasn’t a good drinker, and she got drunk after two glasses of beer. Someone then mentioned Miles, but Stella didn’t know who. Maybe it’s the Americans.

“I heard Grant is famous for being strict and unforgiving of his employees. He’s a bona fide capitalist who doesn’t respect the people who work for him.” Everyone let loose after a few glasses of wine.

Kevin was about to say something when Stella interrupted. “Not at all. Our President Grant is a gentleman. A very gentle one, if I might add. Of course he can be unforgiving at times.”
