Chapter 18 - Stupid Girl (1/2)

Inside the President's room, it seemed like a storm was brewing. Everyone who had entered there was scolded for no reason at all. Within the next hour or so, everyone in the company knew that their boss was in a foul mood today. They thought it must have been related to the meeting.

Somehow, everyone in the company had gotten a whiff of what had happened in the meeting earlier that day.

It was soon lunch time and Bella came in to know his preferences, but instead was returned with a reason of not being hungry.

Usually, no matter how bad of a mood Adam was in, he would never skip his meals. But today was different. He had never thought that someone could make him so much infuriated. He was in a fume.

For the first time in his life he had been accused of something he didn't even commit, and that too by the only girl he had ever liked so far in his life.

'How could she do that? How could she think so badly of me?' Adam was having a monologue with himself.

He had so much work to do yet he wasn't in the mood to. As a result, a pile of files was placed on his office desk to his left, untouched.

He had asked Bella earlier after creating havoc, to take care of his desk before he went to take care of his wounds, which actually meant just pouring water over them.

'I have never felt like this before. If it would have some other person, I would have fired him or her on the spot. But I couldn't bring myself to do it to her.' He contemplated.

He was more infuriated because of himself. He had scared the poor girl back then. 'She must have been scared by my outburst.' He thought to himself.

He couldn't help but run his hands through his hairs in frustration. 'How am I going to face her now and make it up to her?

------------------------

In another office on the same floor, a girl was sitting in her chair before her desk, sulking like a little child who has been deprived of his candy.

She was pouting looking at the file before her. She wasn't in the mood to work after what had happened, or more specifically, after what she had done.

She had scolded herself multiple times since for the nonsense she had spouted before Adam. It wasn't her fault though. Well, not completely.

No one had treated her good without their own underlying motives since her parents' had passed away. Adam was the first one after them. So she couldn't help but panic and spouted whatever came to her mouth.

He had been so good to her. She shouldn't have treated him like that instead of being thankful.

”You stupid girl! How could you do that? Are you blind? Can't you see how well he treats you? And what did you do in return, huh? You hurt him.” She muttered under her breath, scolding herself.

She could still see his hurt expression before her eyes, she remembered it too well. Moreover, when he had punched the door with so much force, she was startled for a minute but when her gaze fell on his hand, she was scared. Not for herself but for him, she had seen the bruises on his hand.
