Chapter 48 - Nap Time (2/2)

Adam hummed softly in response and went back to his dreamland.

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

An hour later, Adam woke up to his ringing phone. He picked it up after looking at the caller ID.

”Sup?” Adam asked in groggy voice.

”Man, I have been waiting outside. Your secretary here said that you told her not to let anyone in except for Stella. Are you going to let me in or not?”

Hearing Stella's name, Adam turned his head only to find her sleeping in a sitting position with the back of her head resting against the headrest.

'I thought it was just a dream.' He thought looking at her with a faint smile on his face.

”I will be there in a while. Ask Bella to let you in.” He said cutting off the call.

”Stella?” He softly called out her name to which she didn't respond.

He made her lay down properly making sure that her head was resting on the pillow. After tucking her in under a comforter and increasing the temperature of air conditioner, he made his way out of the room, not forgetting to close the door shut.

”Hey man! What's with your disheveled state?” Blake asked him as soon as he came out.

”I was taking a nap.” Adam replied taking a seat next to him on the couch. ”What would you like to drink?”

”I already told the secretary outside to bring some coffee for us.” Blake replied. ”We were able to track further.” He continued getting to the main point.

”So?” Adam asked him to continue. He wasn't worried that Stella might wake up and listen to their conversation. The sound insulation of his office was top-notch.

”We still don't know who's actually behind it. But we got ourselves a man who might be able to lead us in the right direction.” Blake spoke up. ”And I am definitely sure that whoever it is, they are definitely after Stella, and not you.”

”I am giving you a week. Get me the name of the man.” Adam replied in a cold voice that could send anyone trembling in fear.

Just as Blake opened his mouth to reply him, Stella came out of the room stretching her arms out as a yawn escaped her mouth.

”Sorry, I fell asleep in there.” She spoke lazily.

Blake looked at her with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his eyes darting from her to Adam and then back to her.

”Oh my! What do we have here?” He finally spoke after a while with a mischievous grin on his face as something dawned on him.
