Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Separated by Mountains

The property agent said that the buyer was keen on the international school nearby the villa, which was why he bought it.

That reminded Stella that there was such an international school near the villa, but the school fees were rather expensive. Hence, regular people wouldn’t consider this villa because it wasn’t exactly a property in a schooling area. With no children of her own, Stella didn’t pay any attention to such matters.

The one who showed up for the purchase procedure was coming on behalf of the buyer. In other words, it was another agent, so Stella never saw how the buyer looked like even until she received the payment.

If a million was a big amount, then more so for twelve million. Feeling jittery, Stella went to look for Miles in a hurry to return him the money. Instead of meeting him at his company for fear that it would be awkward when she met her ex-colleagues, she asked him out in a coffee shop outside.

Carefully, she calculated all the money she and Zane owed to him and wrote down the exact figure on the check.

With a cup of coffee in her hand, she waited patiently for Miles to show up. Previously when she asked him out, she hadn’t told him the reason why she wanted to meet him.

After Miles arrived, she hurriedly pushed the check to him as though she was afraid that it would fly away from her hands. “President Grant, I’ve sold the villa and included the money which Zane and I owed you.”

Lowering his head, Miles took a glance at the check worth more than six million which Stella had carefully written, afraid that she might write the number incorrectly.

While he was looking at the check, Stella hung her head and let out a long sigh of relief; the feeling of being debt-free made her feel as though a heavy burden had been lifted off her. Even the sun seemed especially warm, and she felt incredibly light-hearted.

This is simply amazing! she thought.

When he lifted his gaze, he saw her hanging her head. “Why are you sighing?”

Not expecting that he would hear it, she replied with a giggle, “Of course I’m happy because I’ve paid off all my debts. I can leave with no attachments this time.”

“No attachments?” he repeated, saying each word clearly.

“Yeah,” she answered rather happily.

“How did you know Gabriella?” Miles asked out of the blue, clearly uninterested to continue with the topic and popped up with a question which had boggled him this whole time.

“It’s your—” Before she could even start her sentence, her cell phone rang in a hurried tone. Feeling rather odd, she excused herself, “I’m sorry. I’m taking a call.”

It was her shop employee, Emma, who called saying that a drunkard had broken the glass door of the shop with a stone in the middle of the night. As the glass door was made from plexiglass, a rather expensive material, Emma didn’t know how to deal with the situation and had called to tell her about it.
