Chapter 107 - Workout Time (1/2)

”What are you wearing?” Adam asked her with parched throat.

”My sportswear. This is what Lillian sent me. A bunch of these in different colors.” Stella replied pointing to her clothes.

Adam heaved out a long frustrated sigh. He was starting to pity himself. 'It's not going to be easy.'

”Come here. We will start with some warm ups so that your muscles won't hurt that much later on.” He added.

Adam taught her some light exercises since it was her first day. He would raise the difficulty slowly, day by day. He just couldn't see her overexerting herself.

Adam had removed his shirt and was only wearing his sweatpants now. He had a habit of doing this while he exercised. He was having a hard time controlling himself as his mind kept drifting to Stella. For him, her body was no less than a fine piece of art. Her delicate, snow white skin glowed under the dim. He tried to divert his attention by looking somewhere else. But it didn't help him out.

Two walls of the gym were fixed with mirrors. As soon as he shifted his eyes, they fell on the reflection of Stella's butt as she was trying to squat.

His gaze darkened as he saw her repeat it a few times more. 'Another day, another cold shower.' He sighed inwardly.

”That's enough for today. You can go and freshen up. I will join you for breakfast. I need to exercise as well.” Adam spoke up, stopping her in her tracks.

Adam made his way to the benching press. He thought that Stella would leave, but he was so wrong.

”I will just use the treadmill then, for a bit.” She spoke up, making her way towards it.

Adam muttered a curse under his breath. ”You will be the death of me sweetheart.” He murmured softly.

Stella put on her headphones and started the treadmill. She ran on it as some rock song was booming through her ears, oblivious to a pair darkened gray eyes, which kept looking in her direction.

”Here's the file for today's meeting.” Stella came inside the office with a blue file in her hand.

”Are you sure that you want to collaborate with them on this project?” She continued, as she made her way around his office desk. Her voice was laced with worry which warmed Adam's heart.

Adam pulled her on his lap and made her settle on it comfortably.

”I couldn't find any flaws in the contract. Moreover, this project will be the biggest hit of the year. It will take our company to a new height of success. I can't turn them down.” Adam replied as he cupped her face.
