Chapter 20 - F.R.I.E.N.D.S (1/2)

Listening to her reply, Adam was elated, he was over the moon. He couldn't help but grin like a fool.

”You just agreed to me. Right?” He asked her again to which she nodded.

”It means you and I are going to be friends. Right?” He asked her again.

Stella smacked her forehead hardly. ”YES! I agreed to what you said. And yes, we are friends now. If you still have some problem comprehending it, let me spell it out for you.” She said dramatically waving her hands through the air.

”F.R.I.E.N.D.S!!! We are friends now. Get it through your thick skull.” She said rolling her eyes at him.

”Okay, that's great. But remember what you just said, you aren't allowed to back off now, or ever in the future.” He stated clearly.

”Ughhh! I take back what I just said. I am leaving now.” She said standing up. She tried to take one step towards the door but was stopped by him.

Adam caught hold of her wrist and dragged her back to the couch without even moving from his position.

”Okay okay, I am sorry.” He apologized to her raising his hands up in the air as if admitting his defeat. ”But I have one request. Please don't say no.” He continued.

”What is that?” She asked him back narrowing her eyes.

”Umm… You have to call me by name. No more Sir.” He replied, scratching the back of his head.

”But how can I do that?” She asked. ”What will everyone else will think of me if I do that? You are my boss after all.” She continued.

”I know, that's why I am not asking you to do that in front of my staff. Call me by my name when it's just the two of us. You can do that, can't you?” Adam asked her.

”That, I can do.” Stella replied, giving him a bright smile.

Adam nodded while grinning. ”Are you hungry?” He asked her.

”Yeah! I didn't eat anything at lunch because I was feeling so guilty.” She replied meekly.

”What did you say?” Adam frowned at her reply.

Stella chose to remain quiet and didn't reply to him which only made him more angry.

He stood up, taking her hand, he almost dragged her out of his office.

”Where are you taking me?” She asked him almost running behind him but didn't get any reply.

”Adam?” She tried to get his attention.
