Chapter 127 - How Did You Do It? (1/2)
”Scott???” The name rolled off her tongue before she could come out of her shocked state.
”Stella!” The ginger head spoke up, his lips curling up in a bright smile. ”I thought I won't get to see you ever again.” He stood up from his seat and engulfed her in a bear hug.
”Me too.” Stella was being crushed in between him arms, but still managed to reply to him.
”How are you doing?” Scott asked her, not letting her go.
”At the moment, I am having a hard time breathing. You are crushing me, Scott.” Stella mumbled.
”Oh! I am sorry.” He replied, letting her go. ”Got carried away their for a minute.” He gave her a cheeky smile.
”It's alright! I am used to it, or at least I was.” She giggled in return.
”What are you doing here?” She continued.
”Well, yours truly here managed to sign a contract with the Levinson's Corp.” He replied excitedly, but it soon died down when he realized that he was sitting in Adam's office. 'Uh-oh.' He turned his face towards the other side of the table and gulped a mouthful of saliva.
”I am so sorry.” He whispered, looking at Adam. He had heard about how ruthless Adam Levinson was when it came to business, which definitely included his meetings.
Stella turned around to look in the same direction as he was. As soon as she did, her eyes landed on a face which was as black as the bottom of a pot, may be even more.
”What's with your face?” She asked Adam, raising an eyebrow at him.
”You know him? You know Scott Trevor?” Adam replied to her with a question of his own.
”Uh-huh.” Stella nodded her head in a yes.
”How?” Adam gritted his teeth.
”He was my senior in high school.” Stella replied, not giving him much details.
”It didn't seem like he was just your senior a minute ago.” Adam added, hinting towards the hug.
”Is that jealousy I hear in your voice?” Stella curled her lips up in a smirk.
”Answer my question.” Adam narrowed his eyes at her.
Stella made her way around the table and grabbed his face in between her palms before placing a loud, wet kiss on his lips.
