Chapter 38 - Keep Your Hands Off Her (2/2)

Adam clenched his jaws in anger hearing his words, veins popping out on his forehead.

”You should leave right now. And my answer is still no.” Stella replied with her brows furrowed. She has had enough of this man, he has been pestering him for the last fifteen minutes. She turned around to leave but he caught hold of her arm.

”I am not going to let you go unless you say yes to me.” He held her arm, dragging her back roughly.

”Keep your hands off me.” Stella shouted at him, trying to wriggle free from his grip.

”Didn't you heard the lady? Keep your hands off her.” A voice boomed throughout the floor before the man could say anything further.

Adam walked towards the duo taking long strides. He grabbed the man's arm, squeezed it hard, making him leave Stella's.

Once her hand was free she walked around to stand behind Adam.

”Sir, I apologise but this is a matter between me and my girlfriend, so you shouldn't interrupt.” The man said looking at the ground.

”Oh? Really! Your girlfriend? The last time I checked, she was mine.” Adam said squeezing his arm further.

The man's face became pale hearing what his Boss has said. ”S-S-Ssir…”

”Get out of my sight, right now.” Adam scowled. ”And also you are fired.” He gritted his teeth.

The man wanted to retaliate but he knew he couldn't mess with the Adam Levinson. And if what he had said was true, then he had no chance with the girl here. He left with his tail tucked in between his legs without saying a word.

Adam turned around once that imbecile had left his sight. ”Are you alright?” He asked her, his voice soft and warm, devoid of the frostiness it had a while ago. ”You aren't hurt anywhere, right?” His voice was laced with worry.

Stella looked up at him nodded. Looking at his worried expressions, she gave him a soft smile. ”I am completely okay. Shall we go home now?”

He looked at the bag in her hands that had escaped his eyes earlier and nodded, tucking a loose lock which had somehow managed to escape her bun, behind her ear. He gave her soft peck on her forehead. Heading to the elevator his one hand rested on her lower back, while the other was tucked inside his dress pants pocket.
