Chapter 87 - Its Pretty Obvious (2/2)

Lily's eyes trailed to Stella who sitting quietly observing the interaction between the two.

”I am Stella.” Stella extended her hand towards her with a friendly smile on her face.

”Hi! I am Lillian.” She replied, accepting her extended hand.

After Lillian left the room, Stella looked at Blake as if he has grown a pair of horns on his head.

”Why are you staring at me like that?” Blake couldn't stand her gaze and asked her as he poured some wine for her.

”Who's she?” Stella asked him with a curious look on her face.

”She works here.” Blake replied, passing her a glass.

”I didn't see her the last time I was here.” Stella added, taking a sip of her wine.

”She isn't allowed to serve guests. That's why.” Blake replied.

”Oh!” Stella nodded her head. ”How long has she worked for you?” She continued with her interrogation.

”Two years. Why do you ask?” Blake gave her a confused look. 'What's with all these questions?' He thought to himself.

”You like her. Don't you?” Stella gave him a smirk.

Hearing to her question which sounded more like a statement, Blake choked on his wine. He ended up coughing profusely while Stella's smirk only widened.

”You could tell that.” Blake decided it was useless to lie to the curious cat sitting before him.

Stella nodded her head. ”It's pretty obvious.”

”No wonder you and Adam get along so well.” He added as he recalled the time when had used the same words. ”He did the same, made me choke on my damn wine.”

”Why does she seem to oblivious with it then?” He pouted.

”Have you ever told her that?” Stella replied to him with a question.

”No! I cannot bring myself to do it. What if she doesn't feel anything for me in return? Even the thought of it scares me.” Blake replied to her, staring out of the glass windows.
