Chapter 71 - A Whirlwind (1/2)

I never enjoyed going to the gathering of people. You could say that I'm not fond of crowd. Besides that, the only thing I gotta do there, is to talk about business and business related stuffs. The party is held for celebration where else for me, it's such a bother.

I was dress formally with my black tuxedo and leather shoe. Stella wore a red coloured long mermaid dress that covered her whole body. The sleeves were not too long either, they were above her elbow. The neck line was not too deep or not too low. Once again she looked so attractive without even showing too much of her skin. I kept on observing the beauty of the angel sitting beside me. Even though we were walking inside the occasion hall my eyes were fixed at her.

” What are you looking at?”

” You.” My thoughtless response made her blush. Those rosy cheeks were gleaming with that smile of hers.

People were looking at us which I can tell undoubtably. But, I strongly feel that they were mostly looking at Stella. People knew that I was married although, this is the first time when I'm appearing in public with my wife. So, it's pretty obvious why their eyes are at Stella.

Avoiding that fact, we were able to blend into the party nicely. Stella stayed beside me all the time. I had to introduce her with the people I met. Many of the well known people were invited tonight. I hadn't expected to see so many people at once. Apparently I got tried explaining and narrating about Stella. People literally forced me to tell them about my marriage.

” Ah! I can't believe so much time got wasted while talking with them.” I growled in frustration. Originally my plan was to enjoy the night with Stella rather than boring her with all those things.

” It can't be helped.” Stella spoke with a gentle laugh. The crowd was gone and we can spend some time together by ourselves.

” Yeah. Finally we are alone—” At that time I was intruded by a person.

” Miss Stella? ” A male voice appears out of no where. Both of us look at that direction where the sound came from and we saw a guy standing in front of us. He had black hair with a very muscular figure, same height as mine. I couldn't recall his name instantly although I felt that I have seen this person before.

” Boss?” Oh this must be Adam Harrison, Stella's boss. Wait! He doesn't know that we are married.

” What are you doing here? And who must be this person?” The guy calmly asked Stella. He was polite enough when he talked.

” Uhhh.... Well sir... I'm sorry I haven't told you about it. This is my husband.” Stella choked on her words as she got nervous while talking to Mr. Harrison.

” You're married ? But you said you were single in your bio.”

” Yes. I'm truly sorry that I lied.”

” I don't mind it at all. Everyone has problems. But the important question is, why you need a job when your husband is wealthy?” His manner of speaking was calm and gentle. I can tell that he was not angry or bothered by the truth.

” I wanted to have my own identity. My parents never allowed me to work but I wanted to do something with my own will. It was hard enough for me to get the job since no one accepted an inexperience person like me. So, please don't fire me sir.” She was face palming herself with embarrassment. Seeing her anxiety I decided to step in their conversation.

” Mr. Harrison, You see my wife wanted to have her own career. She's very passionate about her job. I hope you can reconsider her mistake.” Mr. Harrison looked at me and smiled.

” I never thought of expelling her from work. I'm just curious about why would she pick my company or any other company when she could have applied at your place?” We let out a deep sigh of relief. It was confirmed that Stella won't be dismissed from her work. We started to chuckle hearing his question.

” I have told her about it. But she didn't wanted to have a bossy husband.” Stella quickly knocked my arm with her elbow, telling me to stop my nonsense. I gave an evil smirk as I knew about my misdeeds.

” That's not it sir. Actually if I work at his company people will start gossiping about us.”

” You can call me Adam, since we are outside the work. Anyway I see your situation so, I'll keep it a secret.”

” Thank you so much sir-”

” Adam.” Stella smiled softly and she was bit calmer now. We were talking about casual stuffs but I noticed some thing odd.

Mr. Harrison was gazing at Stella throughout the time when we were talking. At first I thought it was my imagination but his eyes were fixed on her. He was gawking at her with such concentration, as if he's used to it.
