Chapter 112 - Stella Got Played (2/2)

No matter how much Adam tried to coo her, she refused to budge, not that Adam minded it. He could lay down with her all day long without getting tired of it. He just couldn't get enough of her.

But what was actually troubling him, was the fact that she refused to step out of his office, not unless everybody has left for their homes.

”Even if you succeed in trying to avoid them, they will see you tomorrow anyway.” Adam added politely.

”So you have to choices. One, you leave with me like we usually do. Two, I will throw you over my shoulders and take you out myself.” He continued.

He won't stay at the office any longer than required. Spending days and nights at the office, was his life before he met her, and there was no way he was going back to that.

Realizing the threat under his warm and soothing tone, Stella reluctantly nodded her head.

Adam stepped out of his office, with Stella following behind him closely.

Adam tried to control the laughter that was trying to escape his mouth. The girl who used to walk next to him daily, was now walking three steps behind. Adam decided to let her do as she pleased, at least for now.

From the time they exited his office together, until they entered Adam's private elevator, every pair of eyes were fixed on the duo.

When they exited the elevator on the ground floor, Stella saw people stopping in their tracks and turning their heads around, just to have a look at them. Since it was the end of office hours, the ground floor was packed with people, who were leaving for their homes.

Stella was getting more conscious when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders. Turning her head to the side slightly, she discovered that it was Adam's arm.

No matter how much she tried to shrug it off, she couldn't. Adam maintained his grip around her shoulders.

Until the duo arrived at the parking lot, Adam didn't let her go. Stella was fuming mad at hai actions. If it were possible, one could see steam blowing out of her ears.

Once they were settled in the car, Adam spoke up before turning on the ignition. ”We will be going out of country for almost a week. There's a conference that I need to attend. Our flight is scheduled tomorrow.”

Stella was quiet for a minute as the gears in her mind were working.

”You mean we won't be coming back here for an entire week. So, if we would have stayed inside for an hour or so, we would have managed to leave the building without all those staring and whispering?” She clenched her jaws as she looked at Adam with her hostile eyes.

Adam only shrugged in response and drove the car away from the parking lot and headed towards his home after turning on the ignition.

He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs and let the whole world know that she was his and only his alone. If not the world for now, he could at least let his staff know. The chance was served to him on a big silver platter. There was no way he would have let it slipped through his fingers.

He looked at his girl, who was pouting and sulking like a child before turning his attention back to the road, his lips curling up slowly in a satisfied smile.
