Chapter 499
Stella glanced at the agent, who took a bus to meet Stella. When the agent came down from the bus, there was a visible
footprint on her shoe that indicated someone had stepped on it. However, when the agent brought Stella to view the houses, she
deliberately called a cab. When she paid for the cab, she took out her purse which looked like it had been used for a while, as
the corners were obviously frayed.
'If she could close this deal, the money she spent on the cab won't go to waste. But, what if she couldn't?
'Such sincerity.'
Stella then said, "There's no need for that. My friend s house is not far away from here, so I can walk there.”
The agent let out a sigh of relief, said her goodbyes, and went to take the subway train.
Stella strolled slowly along the street. After an afternoon of house-hunting, she was actually quite tired. But, as she thought of
how everything was going down the right path, she felt a faint sense of security.
Felicity's house was actually some distance away, but there was a restaurant nearby that served delicious pork chops. Stella
planned to walk there to have one, and buy one for Felicity as well since she liked to snack as much as Stella did.
As she was walking, a Maybach suddenly drove up beside her and tailed her slowly until it was driving parallelly as she was
walking.
Feeling puzzled. Stella turned her head around for a glance. Trevor took off his shades and waved at her. 'Ms. Jewell, what a
coincidence.*
‘Hi, Mr. Saun.”
Trevor did not answer, but he eyed Stella from head to toe and made Stella quite uncomfortable.
However, since Trevor was her boss now, Stella held some respect for him. So, she took the initiative and asked, "Are you here
for work, Mr. Saun?"
Trevor stopped looking and said, "Yes, I was just done with work. Where are you heading to, Ms. Jewell?"
‘I’m heading home."
‘Good. I'm heading back to the city. I can give you a ride."
Stella was reluctant to carpool with her boss, and since she did not know Trevor well yet, she was a bit guarded toward him.
’You don't need to. It's easy to get a cab here." Stella refused.
Trevor smirked and put his elbow on the car window. "It seems like you don't like me, Ms. Jewell."
‘I don't want to trouble you.”
‘I don't think it's troublesome."
Stella went quiet. 'I can only be responsive since he's the boss. He pays for my salary.'
Hence, she replied, ‘I apologize for the trouble of taking me there."
Trevor s car had the same scent as his office. The scent of peppermint and pine. It smelled fresh and comfortable.
After Stella buckled her seatbelt, Trevor asked, 'Ms. Jewell, what were you doing here?"
‘House-hunting,’ Stella answered honestly. There was nothing to hide since she would have to write down her address for the
company's data registration.
’You were looking for houses in Flourand Gardens?”
Stella confirmed.
"The developers of Flourand Gardens received many lawsuits this year," Trevor said gently. "Their houses won't get many gains
for the next few years. Plus, the occupancy rate at the Flourand Gardens is very high. Most of them consist of young tenants, so
it's not a suitable place for an actor to live in. If you want to buy a house in this area, it's better to buy one at Clouditude
International.
