Chapter 111 - Everyone Knows Now (1/2)

Stella tried opening her heavy eyelids, which took her a while to do. As soon as she opened them, they landed on a handsome face, a couple of inches away from her own.

His fair, smooth skin seemed to glow under the warm lighting of the room. His chiseled face could put the famous models and actors to shame.

”How did I become so lucky?” She muttered under her breath as her fingers inched towards his face, finally landing on his firm, thin lips.

”You must have saved an entire planet in your last life.” A strong, husky voice reached her ears, bringing her back to the present.

Stella tried to retract her fingers, but it was too late for that. A strong grip held them in their place, hovering over his lips

Adam opened his eyes lazily, his lips curling up in a smirk. He kissed her finger tips slowly, one at a time.

Stella could feel her cheeks becoming warm at his sweet actions.

When Adam was done kissing her fingers, he spoke up. ”And I, milady, must have saved an entire universe in my last life to have you in this one.” His gray eyes gazed into her hazel ones, filled with love and tenderness.

Blood rushed to her face, tinting it a deep shade of pink.

”Stop it.” She spoke up in a small voice.

”Why should I?” Adam gave her a soft smile which soon turned into a devilish one. ”I know you love it when I say sweet nothings to you. And I know something else which you love more than this.” He continued as his fingers grazed over her neck.

”Adam! We are in your office.” Stella admonished him, grabbing his hand firmly and stopping it from heading down.

”Ohhh! You remember that we are in my office. It didn't seem like it when you hugged me in front of my staff.” Adam added, raising an eyebrow at her, his lips curled up in a teasing smile.

Stella had a black expression on her face which soon turned into a shocked one as snippets of what had happened earlier in the day flashed through her mind.

As the elevator's doors, her eyes met with Adam's. She felt so relieved at that moment. He somehow always managed to be there for her whenever she needed him. Because of her emotions at that time, she had hugged him in the spur of the moment without even realizing that there were other people present there.

”Everyone knows now.” She spoke up with her quivering lips.

”By now, yes.” Adam replied to her. He was enjoying her antsy self.

”What have I done?” Stella buried her face in her hands.

”It's nothing. They were bound to know one day.” Adam replied, trying to pry her hands away from her face.
