Chapter 137 - Half Hourly (1/2)

”I will visit the base every weekend from onwards. Make the required changes to my room before Saturday. And I want the account logs of the diamond mines on my desk by next weekend, along with the person who's looking after them.” Adam spoke up as he got into his car.

”You got it man.” Blake replied as he shut the car door close.

”Are you planning on telling Stella about this organization thing?” It was Lillian who spoke up.

”No. I don't want to hide things from her, but I don't want to expose her to this life either, not unless it's necessary.” Adam heaved out a tired sigh. He hated hiding things from her, but he couldn't tell about this part of his life even though he wanted to do it badly.

”You are right, there's no need to expose her to danger.” Blake added.

”She already is exposed to danger. Are you forgetting the fact that she is Adam's girlfriend?” Lillian said, smacking the back of Blake's head.

”You can take your time, but you have to tell her one day. The sooner, the better.” She turned her attention towards Adam.

Adam nodded his head in agreement. ”I will tell her when the time is right.”

”You better do, because if you don't, I definitely will.” Lillian said, throwing a glare at him.

Adam bid his good-byes to the couple and drove away from the abandoned mansion, heading in the direction of his home. All he wanted to do at the moment was to lie next to Stella and hold her in his arms.

”What did you call me when were upstairs?” Blake yanked Lillian's arm towards himself, making her body collide with his own.

Lillian frowned as she looked back into his dark brown orbs. ”What did I call you?” She spoke up after thinking for a while. She couldn't recall what exactly he was referring to as she had developed a habit of calling him names after finally saying yes to his proposal.

”You called me a slowpoke.” He flicked her forehead, making her pout.

”So? You are one.” She replied as she rubbed her forehead.

”That's not what you say when I am actually poking you.” His lips curled up in a lop-sided grin as his eyes lit up with a mischievous glint.

”How do you make every single word which comes out of my mouth about sex?” Lillian glared at him.

”I can't say about other words, but let's just focus on poking for now.” He said as he picked her up in his arms.

Lillian instinctively put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

”You won't get to do any poking today.” Lillian retorted back, making him chuckle.

Both of them knew that it wasn't going to happen for as long as they were alone in a room, they can not keep their hands to themselves.

Blake took her inside and headed towards the elevator.
