Chapter 75 - I Wish You Luck (2/2)

Seeing Adam's confused expression, she continued. ”Blake's party. When I was coming back from the powder room, I bumped into someone.”

”Oh! So, he's the one you bumped into.” Adam nodded as he recalled her drunken self telling him about it with an annoyed expression.

Adam and Taylor continued to talk about business while Stella stood there quietly listening to their conversation, leaning her elbows on the table. Adam took out his phone from the inner pocket of his coat when he felt it vibrating. Seeing that it was Liam calling him, he excused himself.

”I will be back in a minute or two.” He whispered in Stella's ear as he kissed in her cheek and headed out of the hall to find someplace quiet.

”So Stella, Do you have a job?” Taylor asked her, trying to strike up a conversation with her.

Stella nodded as she took a sip from her glass. Getting a questioning look from him she continued. ”I am Adam's assistant.” She added truthfully.

”I did not see that coming.” Taylor replied with a shocked expression. ”I thought you were just his partner for tonight.” He continued.

Stella gave him a polite smile in return.

”So, you guys are a thing?” He asked with curiosity.

Stella didn't know how to reply to that and only shrugged her shoulders. She was internally scolding Adam. 'He could have just gone outside without kissing my cheek.'

'But he did see you dancing with him and that too quiet intimately.' Her subconscious nagged at her.

”Well, if you don't want to tell me then I can't force you to. It's your personal matter. I was just being the curious cat that I am.” He gave a toothy grin.

Stella politely smiled taking a big sip of her drink. She didn't want to continue talking to him because for some reason, he gave her a creepy feeling. She could only wish for Adam to come back sooner.
