Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Selling His Looks

Miles stood quietly on the spot and eavesdropped the conversation between the two.

The male model retorted Stella, “President Grant is quite handsome. Why would you say that he’s ugly?”

“He’s not ugly?” she replied in a straightforward manner. “Anyway, one thing’s for sure—he’s not handsome by any standards!”

Perhaps feeling that their frequencies did not match, the male model stopped talking to her altogether.

A smirk appeared at the corner of Miles’ lips. It’s fine if she wants to describe me as average, but I can’t understand why she thinks I’m ugly! He took her critique of his appearance rather personally.

Miles then headed into Matthew’s office without declaring his purpose of visit and asked, “Why did you gather these hot young men? Do you want them to model for you?”

Matthew looked up and replied, “Young and hot? I don’t think so. They’re just average.”

Oh, wow. Since when did my looks become ‘average’? Miles scorned silently.

At that moment, Stella entered the room and announced, “President Xenon, I’ve made all the arrangements. The date of our new fashion line launch is around the corner.”

Matthew sank into a brief silence before speaking. “This time, we are launching the press conference using President Grant’s name. If he is absent, the event will be lackluster. Don’t you think so, Stella?”

She understood Matthew’s intention—he wanted to provoke Miles and eventually get the latter to attend the event. However, based on her understanding of Miles’ personality, he would never accept any work that required him to expose himself to the public, so Matthew’s effort would go down the drain.

With her status, she could not voice out her objections to Matthew, for he was the president who was making decisions, and she could not influence him. Suddenly, they heard Miles saying, “Since you’ve used my name to promote the event, wouldn’t it be a shame if I don’t attend?”

Matthew was beyond surprised upon hearing that and exchanged confused glances with Stella. None of them had pestered Miles to join this fashion line launch, so why would Miles suddenly agree to it?

“Stella, get the preparations done. President Grant is joining our rehearsal! Let’s put him at the closing spot—the spotlight!” Matthew quickly reacted to the good news and, fearing any retraction, urged Stella to make the necessary preparations.

She got the memo soon. With Miles helping Amon out, the fashion line launch would be a success!

She swiftly made changes to the schedule and arranged for Miles to take the closing spot of the lineup. Despite that, she had some reservations in her mind. This is going to be a demanding catwalk for male models. Will he really do it? Will he accept my arrangements? She felt a headache just by thinking about it.

After reaching an agreement, Matthew and Miles went on to iron out some details. Miles said that he would skip the rehearsal and just show up at the live event.

Hearing that, she couldn’t help but think, Perhaps he wanted to avoid too much interaction with me since I’m on the job, so he decided to skip the rehearsal.
