Chapter 51 - Who Bought This Dress? (1/2)

Two hours later, Adam stood before his dressing table. He looked at his reflection in the mirror fixing his cuffs. He was dressed up in a checkered light grey suit with a white button-down shirt, the first two buttons were left undone. He had left his air-dried hairs untouched that gave him a casual yet appealing look. A limited edition Phatek Phillipe watch rested on his left wrist. Lastly, he put on a pair of hand crafted black leather shoes on his way out.

”Stella?” He called her out knocking on her door. ”We have to go now or else we will be running late and Blake will roast me alive.” He knocked on the door once more.

”How long are you going to take to get ready? I gave you two hours.” He knocked once again and this time the door finally opened.

”I was just putting on my stilettos.” She replied coming out of her room. ”Do I look okay?” She asked him once she was standing right before him.

Adam gulped as his eyes moved up and down a couple of times looking at his little elf who was looking more like a hot model ready to walk on the ramp.

She was wearing a skin tight strapless dark maroon short dress that stopped before her mid thigh. There was a little v-cut on the upper border of the dress that exposed a little bit of her cleavage. A golden chain like belt was tied loosely around her waist. She was wearing a matching lipstick shade to the dress, keeping her makeup minimum as always. Her wavy hairs were tied up in a high pony. Two golden loops were dangling from her ears whereas her neckline was bare showing off her prominent collarbones. A pair of black velvet boot style stilettos were sported by her feet, reaching upto her fair ankles.

”Who bought this dress?” Adam finally spoke up after ogling her for a while.

”Umm….you?” Stella replied looking at him with her furrowed brows. ”You said it will look good on me and is perfect to wear for today's party.” Stella replied recalling his words.

”No! Nope! I was wrong. You should go and change.” He replied instantly looking at her face.

”Do I look that bad?” Stella looked at him with a pitiful expression.

Adam heaved out a frustrated sigh. 'Why did I even buy her this dress?' He scolded himself internally. ”What? Who said that? You look absolutely amazing.” He replied giving her smile, tugging her hand towards himself.

”Sure?” She tilted her head down to look at her dress.

”Yes.” He replied tilting up her head back. ”Let's go or we may run late.”

Half an hour later, both of them entered the first floor of the club. Adam directly took Stella to one of the booths that was already reserved for them. He hadn't let go of her hand since they had stepped in, not even once.
