Chapter 4 - The Baffled CEO (1/2)

After listening to her, Adam asked her for the file which she had brought in.

”Thank you Stella.” He replied while picking up the file. ”You can leave now and carry on with your work. Look through the file of our Golding Housing project. Look for potential partners for that project. Though we aren't short on money, we still need the connections our investors bring in with themselves.”

”I will look into it Sir. And you have a meeting with a Mr. Liam at lunch Sir.” She replied politely.

He chuckled in response, ”I got it but can you please stop calling me Sir in every sentence?”

”Okay Sir!” Her reply made him raise his eyebrows in response.

She scratched her head with slightly embarrassed expression on her face, ”I mean, okay.”

”That's good.” To him her slightly embarrassed face looked a bit cute than her straight working face specially when she scratched the back of her head.

”You can leave now, Stella. And go through what I asked you to. I will call you if I need anything from you.”

”Okay, S...” She stopped midway realizing what she was about to say making Adam's lips twitch slightly.

She stood up to go outside to her cabin which was situated right outside his office to the left, only to be stopped by him as soon as she reached the door.

”Oh! Sorry for causing you trouble but can you please ask Bella to send in a cup of black coffee. And also you will be accompanying me in today's meetings. Okay?”

She looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it, replying with just an okay and made her way out.

Adam's gaze lingered on the door a bit longer even after she had gone out. Heaving out a big sigh, he didn't know he was holding in. He shook his head sideways, pitying himself.

'This little elf is messing with my head.' He thought to himself.

Soon Bella brought in his coffee just like the way he preferred, black and sugar less . He decided to go through the file she had given him. He was slightly baffled by what she had done. Every single important point was highlighted by her. Not only that she had even made notes regarding. Every single mistake was marked by her, and she had even corrected them. Not just the calculations but profit, marketing, etc. It looked like he didn't even have wreck his brain while going through the file and just look once at what she had done.

'Just how much potential does the little elf has.' He thought. At least he made the right decision to hire her as her assistant. He couldn't help but pat himself on his shoulder inwardly.

After going through the file he scanned the papers and faxed them to Bella, asking her to ask someone from the staff to make a revised version of it following the notes, and then send them to him along with Stella.

While waiting for the papers, his mind drifted back to the little lady.

'What is happening to me?' He questioned himself inwardly. ' Why does my mind keep drifting back to her? Ughhh! I never knew a girl could do this to me.' His phone buzzed as he was lost in his own world contemplating what had happened to him, bringing him out of his reverie.
