Chapter 79 - Will You Write Me A Check? (1/2)

After hugging each other for a while, the duo headed back to the hall to have their dinner.

After eating to their stomachs' content, Adam headed back stage as he had to hand over the check. Stella had drunk three more wine glasses during dinner and was a mess now. She was slurring through her speech. Adam had to choice but to take her with him. He couldn't leave her alone in this vulnerable state among all those dogs who had been eyeing her for the whole event.

Adam placed a hand at her back and guided her to the backstage. Shaking his hand with man who was in charge of the event, Adam took out a checkbook from his coat's inside pocket. Before he could even open it, he heard a giggling sound.

”You carry a checkbook with you.” Stella spoke up, her giggling was converted to laughing now.

”Or is it just for today?” She continued. The back of her left hand was covering her mouth as she laughed, while the other hand was wrapped around Adam's bicep.

The man looked at the girl with his eyes widened in shock, thinking who the stupid lady might be, having the guts to talk to Adam Levinson like this. Whereas Adam was looking at her like a lovestruck fool. He was finding her adorable.

”I always carry a checkbook sweetheart.” Adam replied softly as he patted her head with love.

”It means you can write a check whenever you want to.” She spoke up in between her giggles.

”Well, that's the idea of carrying it with me.” Adam replied looking intently at her with tenderness in his eyes.

”W-Will you write m-me a ch-check?” Stella asked him with big hopeful eyes.

”Of course babygirl! I will write to you 'me' in a check.” Adam winked at her, making her giggle more.

He took out a pen and wrote the check, signed it and tore it. He passed it to the man who was looking at the couple as if he was looking at some aliens, or more specifically, an alien. If he told someone how Adam was behaving right now, no one would believe him and call him crazy. For people Adam Levinson didn't even have a heart. He was a ruthless businessman who didn't know how to smile.

Adam waved the check before him. ”You want it?” Adam asked him in usual emotionless voice.

The man regained his composure and took the check, nodding politely at Adam. After confirming that the amount of zeroes was right and the signature was not smudged, he picked a maroon jewelry box and passed it Adam. Adam checked the box and made his was out with Stella clinging to his arm like a baby koala.
