Chapter 96 I Thought You Enjoyed Calling Me Miles Grant In Private

Stella finally reached the bottom of her bag and seemed to have recalled something. She then took out the e-cigarette and handed it to Miles. “This is for you!”

With an icy smile on his face, he asked her, “Should I thank you for keeping me in your thoughts?”

She smiled back embarrassedly.

Right then, Zachariah ran over to pick up a toy on the sofa. The coffee table blocked his way, so he stopped in his tracks and waited lazily for Stella to help him because she was standing closer to Miles, passing him his gift.

She immediately noticed the toy car. It was a very tiny toy tucked right under Miles’ body that was leaning on the arm of the sofa.

“President Grant, could you please hand me the toy car?” She pointed at the toy car right underneath his arm.

She had handed the e-cigarette to Miles, and he accepted it reluctantly because it was a gift she had brought all the way home from America. The fact that it was the only gift from her made the item appear valuable to him.

He also felt upset and disappointed at his sense of inferiority when he compared himself to Matthew. How could she throw away the medicine she bought for me?

Nevertheless, he took a look around him and found the toy car pressed under his arm. He then handed it over to Stella, who gave it to Zachariah.

When she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a casual remark from him. “Miss Johansson, I thought you enjoyed calling me Miles Grant in private. Why are you referring to me as President Grant again?”

She was taken aback by his question. Who told him that? She vaguely remembered the few times she addressed him as Miles in private instead of ‘President Grant’. However, she was unsure how exactly the word got out.

After he got hold of her slip-up, she felt a little embarrassed, and the stubbornness in her tone softened. Her only way out was to deny the fact no matter how hard he pressed on.

“Nope. I have always addressed you as President Grant.” Her eyes flickered in guilt.
