Chapter 58 - Cranky Stella (1/2)

Next day at the office,

Stella came in Adam's office to hand over some files.

”There you go.” She smacked the pile of files on his desk. ”These are the files that you asked me to bring over.”

”Well, thank you sweetheart. But may I know why are you so worked up?” Adam asked giving her a bright smile, one that could charm any girl on the planet and might even bent some men.

”Are you asking me why am I so cranky since morning?” Stella narrowed her eyes at him, her hands folded over her chest.

”Uhh…. You could say that.” He answered her meekly.

”Well, it's all thanks to you.” Stella replied giving him a smile, one that didn't reach her eyes.

”Wh-what?” Adam asked her confusingly as he made his around the table towards her.

”You are the one who made me stay up late last night. Even after saying that it won't take long.” Stella looked at him accusingly.

Adam stood before her, leaning against his office desk.

”And what's that got to do with your cranky mood?” Adam asked her as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

”I was already tired because of the party and I couldn't get enough sleep last night too. Now, I can not focus on my work no matter how hard I try to. And I even keep yawning.” She berated him.

”It's alright if you can not focus on work today sweetheart.” He said giving her a soft pat on the top of her head. ”And I didn't hear you complaining about it last night. You were clearly enjoying the view and my company as well.” He gave her devilish smile.

After a dramatic pause, he brought his lips closer to her ear. ”As far as I remember, you were enjoying being in my arms, snuggled up against me. And you didn't seem to mind my kisses either. Specially when you were making those pleased sounds.”

Stella's face turned crimson as his breath brushed over her ear, giving her goosebumps all over as he reminded her of the previous night and their time together.

”You weren't even letting go of my neck even when I withdrew my lips so that you could take a breath.” He continued murmuring close to her ear, bringing his lips closer and closer to it.
