Chapter 109 - Scared For Her Life (2/2)

His staff members moved aside, getting out of his path.

”How long is it going to take?” He asked the technicians in a cold voice.

”We can't say exactly how long, but we are trying our best Sir.” The head of the team replied to him politely.

”Well, then hurry up.” His demanding voice made him shut his mouth.

With each passing second, the air grew chiller. The air surrounding Adam was freezing cold Adam's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His eyes did not shift from the elevator, even for a single second.

By now, the entire floor was gathered in the hallway, whispering among themselves, speculating why the Boss was standing here himself.

Almost everyone of them thought that it must be because of Mr. Taylor and that he might be afraid of losing the contract.

But they didn't know how wrong they were. Adam couldn't give a single damn about that contract. He was here for his babygirl, his little elf.

Adam was growing impatient. He was about to shout on the technicians again, when the door finally opened.

He felt his soul leaving the body when his eyes met with her hazel ones.

Her face was pale, she was drenched in sweat and her breathing was irregular.

She was scared, she was scared for her life. He could see that in her eyes, and that was enough to shatter his heart. His little beasty was so fragile sometimes.

Stella's eyes met Adam as soon as the door opened but it took her a while to register that he was really there and she was not imagining things. She looked at him as if he was her life jacket, the only thing keeping her afloat in the vast ocean that trying to suck her into the abyss.

Not paying any attention to her surroundings or to the man standing next to her, Stella made her way towards Adam hurriedly and hugged him. She hugged him as if her life depended on it.

Adam was shocked for a while but he came out of his stupor as her sobbing made its way to his ears. He hugged her back with the same passion.

Stella had her arms wrapped around his broad muscular back as her face was buried in his chest.

All the staff members present there, were shocked to their cores when they saw what was happening. The first thing they expected their boss to do was apologize to Mr Taylor for the incident. But never in their minds it occurred for even once that a girl would come out of the elevator and hug their Boss. And not only that, their bug, scary, cold hearted Boss was hugging the petite girl back.

But what came next, shocked them more. They never thought that they would love long enough to see or hear what followed the hugging.

”Shhh!!! I am here sweetheart. You are okay, and in my arms.” Adam spoke up in a soft voice as if he was cooing a crying child.
