Chapter 15 - You Are Fired! (2/2)

Stella was frozen in her seat when she heard his reply. She was already stunned by how Adam had dealt with those morons earlier. No wonder he was able to lead such a big corporation despite of his young age.

She took a peek at Adam who was already looking at her with his eyes narrowed as if saying ' You got played.' She couldn't help but look down at her knotted hands on the table with guilt written on his face.

Mr. Parker thought that since Stella had been in the company for a couple of days only, she must be scared of him as he was the Vice President and could get her fired easily.

”Oh really? Then where's the file?” Adam spoke up.

Mr. Parker called his assistant to hand over the file but didn't notice that she was fidgeting in the back. She stepped ahead and whispered something in his ear.

”I am sorry, Sir. It looks like my assistant has already handed over the file to your assistant. Where is the file Stella? Didn't you gave it to your Boss?” He said bringing everyone's attention to her.

”Stella where's the file?” Adam looked at her with a serious face. She couldn't understand what he was thinking. He gazed into those deep gray orbs which were like a vortex, sucking in everything. But somehow, she felt assured looking into them.

”I am sorry, Sir.” She lowered her head and took a long pause. ”But I don't know which file Mr. Parker is talking about. His assistant didn't handed me over any file.” She continued, looking up at Adam, her eyes blazing with rage. Adam smiled at her in response.

”Why are you lying? If she said she did, it means she did. What did you do to the file?” Mr. Parker slammed his hands on the table, shouting at her.

”I really don't know what you are talking about. I have been with Sir since the morning. If you don't believe me, you can ask him.” She blinked innocently with her brows furrowed as if she was being wronged.

Adam was having a hard time controlling himself. He wanted to laugh so badly right now.

”What are you talking about? I gave the file to you myself to finish it before today and hand it back to me. How dare you say otherwise?” Mr. Parker was enraged.

Stella only smile at him in response innocently.

It was only then, he realized what he had spoken in his fit of rage, his eyes widening as realization hit him. He looked around the room to find everyone looking at him with disgust.

On the other hand, Adam was lost in his own world. 'This little lady knows how to be fierce as well. And did she just used me as scapegoat? Wasn't she worried that I may not side with her? It means she trusts me, even if a tiny bit, but she does and that's more than enough for me.'

He stared at his favorite pair of eyes that were looking back at him, with a gentle smile.

After a minute or two he turned his left, his expressions changing to fierce. ”You are fired along with your assistant.”

He stood up, ”Meeting is over. I hope it serves as a reminder for everyone else.”

He left the room with Stella following him.
