Chapter 76 It’s Not Like You Haven’t Seen Me in This State

Without sparing her a single glance, Miles walked out of the door and acted as though he didn’t see Stella. On the other hand, the moment Kevin saw Stella, he could barely hide the guilty expression on his face as he initiated to exchange pleasantries. “Hello, Stella. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Upon answering with a grunt, Stella took a quick glimpse at the person, but he seemed to have walked further away as he disappeared into the dark.

Today, Stella was dressed rather differently from the way she dressed in the past.

Back then, although she was dressed in professional attire, her style still carried somewhat a Madam’s vibe, which she couldn’t seem to change within a short period of time. As of now, since she had started her own boutique, her sense of fashion had improved quite a bit. In a formal black suit, and with her silky long hair that was slightly curled up at the end, she conducted herself with professionalism. With light makeup and plump glossy lips, all of it made her look exceedingly charming.

Frankly, there weren’t any major changes with Stella, but somehow there was something different about her which he couldn’t quite tell.

About their breakup, Stella did notice something strange, for Miles seemed to have accepted the breakup calmly and didn’t even bother to question further. From the way he replied, she couldn’t help but wonder whether there was an underlying reason or a misunderstanding behind. Then again, it didn’t really matter anymore since they had broken up, and she really couldn’t accept being someone else’s replacement.

Once she reached home, she decided to first settle the design proposal and then send a copy over to Hollowcrest City.

While she was organizing the proposal, Miles’ face just kept crossing her mind. Somehow, she felt he was like a stranger to her now. Previously when they were together, he would smile at her and would even give suggestive gestures, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like that person was not the real Miles after all—the glacial side of him was in fact the real him.

It was a Saturday the next day, and Stella headed to her boutique.

As the president of Hollowcrest City, Matthew would perform random inspections on all of his boutiques. Considering that Stella’s boutique was one of the few in Murdough, he would turn up quite often, since they had known each other.

When Matthew knew that Miles had a meeting to attend in Murdough this time, both of them had made time to meet up together.

“Is the meeting over?” asked Matthew.

“Yeah,” Miles replied while gently massaging his forehead, looking a little exhausted.

“Since you’ve nothing much to do today in Murdough, why not follow me around to inspect the boutiques?” suggested Matthew.

“Where?” asked Miles frostily.

Miles was a cold and cheerless person all along. In the past, one might still catch him smiling sometimes, but it seemed like he had lost his smile now.

“There aren’t many boutiques around Murdough, so just tag along.”

With his hand halted, Miles said, “No!”

Upon noticing his hand’s momentary pause, Matthew knew that Miles must have thought of Stella and learned about her being one of his fashion brand agents now.
