Chapter 60 - Dinner (1) (2/2)

”Hey Rachel, I didn't know that I will be seeing you tonight.” He gave her a polite nod in response.

”I actually went out with my friends. Just came back. I will go and freshen up, will you see later.” She replied giving him a wide smile.

Rachel then ran up to her Dad. ”I will join you guys at the dining table.” She said, giving him a hug.

As she was heading out, her eyes fell on Stella who was quietly standing, looking everywhere but at her.

”I didn't know that you bring your secretary to family dinners as well.” Rachel said with a smirk on her face.

”Come here Stella.” Adam asked her to come where he was standing with Liam.

Stella scooted over to him.

”I want you to meet Stella. My girlfriend.” He said introducing her to Liam as he wrapped an arm around her waist. ”Stella, meet Liam Nelson, my father's childhood friend. You can just call him Uncle Liam.”

”Good evening. It's a pleasure to meet you Uncle Liam.” Stella politely nodded.

”Truth to be told kid, the honor is all mine.” He gave her a warm smile. ”It's good that you finally found someone boy.” He said giving Adam a pat on his shoulder.

Rachel watched their interactions quietly as she stood by the door. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging in her palms. She really wanted to throw something at her and she would have by now if it wasn't for her father.

'Enjoy while you can slut, before I make him mine.' She thought to herself, gritting her teeth in anger. Giving them another glance, she made her way out of the room.

”Let's go to the dining room. Rachel will join us there.” Liam said to them.

All three of them headed to the dining room which was more like a hall, with Liam guiding the couple. Though Adam knew the way like the back of his hand but he walked slowly next to Stella with a hand resting at her lower back.

They settled down on the table where Liam sat on the head chair with Adam sitting on his left and Stella sat next to him.

Liam kept his eyes on the girl, taking in small details about her. He couldn't control himself anymore and finally chose to ask her the question which has been bothering him since he first saw the girl.

”Stella? How are you related to Rosaline?”
