Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: I Appreciate Her

The assistant weaved through the crowd and eventually spotted Miles Sterling in a relatively narrow and secluded gallery on the second floor.

She immediately jogged over: "Hey, handsome!"

Miles Sterling was so focused on the painting in front of him that he didn’t realize the "handsome" was referring to him.

It was only when the assistant ran up to his side that he turned his head to look at her.

"What a coincidence! Are you here specifically to see Teacher Sterling’s paintings?"

Miles Sterling was taken aback, not expecting to meet someone who knew Vanessa Sterling here.

"Don’t you remember me? I’m the one who asked for your business card last time, Teacher Sterling’s little assistant."

Miles Sterling replied indifferently: "I remember."

"Hehe, actually I came over because I wanted to ask you, how far have you and Teacher Sterling progressed?"

Miles Sterling was stunned again, feeling somewhat perplexed by the assistant’s words.

The assistant saw his bewildered expression and twitched her mouth in surprise, asking, "Really? You two haven’t even contacted each other?"

Miles Sterling calmly said, "I think you may have misunderstood something."

The assistant began to doubt herself, muttering to herself, "It can’t be, I feel Teacher Sterling genuinely cares about you."

Listening to her mumbling, Miles Sterling stiffened and couldn’t help but ask, "What makes you say that?"

The assistant immediately pulled out her phone and found the photo she secretly took that day: "Look, Teacher Sterling often stands by the window gazing outside. When you’re not around, she waits there every day. I even said she looks like a bride keeping vigil."

Looking at the photo, Miles Sterling was somewhat dazed, and then quickly denied, saying: "She probably just likes to daydream by the window."

This habit she’s had before, often sitting by the window for hours.

Just sitting still and staring out the window, no one knows what she’s thinking. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But Miles Sterling was sure Vanessa Sterling wasn’t thinking about him.

"Oh my, you two are just the same, aren’t you? I’m worried sick watching you!"

"Teacher Sterling is just shy, too embarrassed to approach you. Every time I mention you, she blushes. She definitely likes you but is too shy to say so."

Miles Sterling was taken aback by her words, feeling as if they were talking about someone else altogether.

In his memory, the last time he saw Vanessa Sterling blush was long ago when she was with Quentin Sterling.

As for him, Vanessa Sterling only showed timidity, fear, and later hatred and indifference.

"Hey, handsome, you actually have feelings for Teacher Sterling, right? Or else why would you come specifically to see her exhibition?"

Miles Sterling considered his words before replying: "I admire her."

The assistant clapped her hands: "That’s a favorable impression! You’re not married, neither is she, and you both have feelings for each other. Now it’s just up to one of you to take that first step."

"Teacher Sterling is thin-skinned, just be a little proactive. I guarantee, as long as you take the initiative, she’ll definitely say yes to you."

Miles Sterling smiled and then asserted: "She won’t like me. Thanks for worrying about these things."

The assistant anxiously said: "How would you know she doesn’t like you if you don’t try? Girls understand girls best, and I can tell she definitely cares about you!"

"Look at this photo, she truly waits by the window every day. She isn’t daydreaming, she’s focusing on you! If your car appears every day, she may not show happiness outwardly, but at least she is spirited. But if your car doesn’t appear for a long time, she becomes despondent and even struggles to sleep!"
