Miles Sterling returned to The Sterling’s company, starting to fill the void inside him with busy work.

Trying his best not to think about Vanessa, he struggled to resist the urge to see her.

Gwen Grant still hasn’t signed the divorce papers, but hasn’t come looking for him during this time either.

It seems to have quieted down, and Miles Sterling neither has the time nor the mind to deal with these matters.

He spent two or three days in this busy state.

That noon, after work, Miles Sterling went alone to a newly opened restaurant near the company.

He didn’t expect to run into Vanessa there, accompanied by the man who had driven her home that day.

Miles Sterling did not go over to disturb them, but instead found a spot in a corner and watched Vanessa from afar.

He couldn’t hear their conversation, but could see the two were talking happily.

Recalling Vanessa’s cold and distant attitude when faced with him, Miles Sterling felt a quiet sense of loss. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Already having little appetite, Miles Sterling left the restaurant without eating much.

After returning, his heart became uncontrollably entangled with Vanessa Sterling.

He thought, he wouldn’t disturb her, but just watching her silently seemed to make his heart feel a bit better.

With this in mind, Miles Sterling left the company, went to the place where Vanessa Sterling was currently living, and bought the apartment next to hers for several times the market price. He moved in the next day.

Vanessa Sterling only knew a new neighbor had moved in next door but didn’t know who it was. She just overheard people in the elevator gossiping that a very wealthy person had moved in.

Miles Sterling installed a surveillance camera outside the door, and when Vanessa Sterling went out, she would pass by the front of his door.

After observing for a few days, Miles Sterling found that Vanessa Sterling didn’t go out often, and when she did, it was usually to buy some groceries and then come back. Sometimes she went out in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon.

To avoid running into Vanessa Sterling, Miles Sterling almost always left early and returned late, avoiding the times she might go out.

On the weekend, while taking a break at home, Miles Sterling saw through the surveillance that Vanessa Sterling went out early in the morning.

Compared to before, she appeared distinctly well-dressed today, with carefully applied makeup on her face.

Immediately, Miles Sterling thought of that man, with some curiosity in his heart. Is she going on a date this early?

With a hint of curiosity, Miles Sterling changed into relatively low-key casual clothes, donned a mask and a cap, and followed behind Vanessa Sterling downstairs.

When he reached the gate of the neighborhood, he saw Vanessa Sterling hail a taxi.

Using a cane, Miles Sterling hurriedly made his way to the roadside, quickly hailed a passing taxi, and said to the driver, "Please follow the car in front."

After driving for more than ten minutes, the car stopped in front of an exhibition hall.

Miles Sterling stood outside the exhibition hall and looked at the poster on the wall, which was an introduction to the art exhibition. At the bottom right of the poster was an introduction to the artist of this exhibition, and Miles Sterling immediately found the name "Vanessa Sterling" among the row of names.

It turns out she meticulously dressed up to attend an art exhibition.

Realizing this, Miles Sterling’s heart immediately relaxed.

After Vanessa Sterling entered, she disappeared, presumably going backstage to prepare.

Miles Sterling mingled among the other visitors, glancing at each painting.

He didn’t carefully appreciate them, but searched among the artworks for Vanessa Sterling’s pieces.
