Chapter 72 - The Stalker (1/2)

I couldn't sleep that night at all. My encounter with Adam Harrison was very unpleasant. I didn't asked anything to Stella instead I stayed quite. My guts were telling me that I need to be cautious about Adam. The background check which I did last time, it was some limited information about him.

For a guy like me, who has all sorts of sources under his feet, I couldn't let it slip of my mind. That's why I called John in the middle of the night and told told him to find information on Adam Harrison, each and every single detail of his past.

Stella was asleep so I didn't bother to go somewhere else to talk with John. Poor John was definitely cursing me for putting him in a situation like this. But he's my secretary so, his job is to full fill all my needs.

Last time, I didn't bothered to look into Adam's past properly because I hadn't thought that he was this much concerned about Stella. I'm sure that I'll get an useful date if I look into his past.

His behaviour was beyond creepy which I can't explain. If I compare him with Ray, then Ray was far better than him. This guy, Adam, he can swiftly tell a lie without even batting his eyes.

He pretends to be a saint but deep down, he is an evil man. The way he looks at Stella, it was like a manic looking at his addiction, an alcoholic looking at the bottle of beer with such intensity. A ŀustful, sinful gaze of an evil person.

Next morning I left my house like usual. Stella also went to her office and I only prayed that she will be fine. I stayed in my cabin, waiting for John to bring some news. It was around lunch time when John entered into my room.

” Here's the information you wanted on Mr. Harrison.”

” So? Did you find something useful?” I asked him while looking at the file he was holding.

” Apparently yes. It turns out that Adam Harrison went to the same high school where your wife went. They were in the same year.” My suspicion was right! He knew Stella from a long time.

” What? Then how come Stella didn't told me? Doesn't she know him?”

” Well, she is not to be blamed. Back in those days Adam Harrison looked really different. Here's the picture.” He handed me the file with the old picture of Adam Harrison. I observed both of his photos and even I was amazed how different it was. In his high school years he had long hair which almost covered his eyes. He also had glasses and he looked like a typical geeky guy.

” If you look at these photos, you will see how much he has changed. And I have heard that he was a very quite guy during his high school years.”

” What about his relationship status, love life?”

” He's been single forever. No one ever saw him with any girl. He's also good with his employers. No one ever seen him doing anything unusual.”

” Anything else?” With a gruff voice I asked John. His expression was changed, he looked kinda worried as if I'll get mad if I hear it.

” What? Just say it.” I asked him again.

” It's only a rumour which my informer told me. Adam Harrison was kind of stalker. He used to follow Stella but only few people have heard of it.” John said timidly.

” So Stella didn't know about it?”

” No, it never came out in public. Besides Adam Harrison never interacted with her in the past. So, basically he's a stranger to Stella.”

” Shit! I knew he was up to something. Anyway thanks for delivering the super fast information. I'll increase you salary double.” After throwing my anger on him for no reason, I had to do that. Besides John is a very reliable person. I can always trust him in my troubles.
