Chapter 141 - James Brighton (1/2)

A black Maybach came to a halt before a tall building. Both Adam and Stella stepped down at the same time.

The building had around twenty floors and was completely lined with black one way mirrors. One could see his own reflection in them from the outside, but the people on the other side could easily see through them.

The name of the company could be seen at the top in bold letters which could easily catch a passerby's attention with their shimmering golden shade.

Stella gazed at the top of the building while Adam gazed at his girl. Both of them were lost in their own thoughts when someone interrupted them.

A man of average height, walked briskly towards their direction. He must be in his early thirties and was wearing a light brown coat and matching pants, paired with a white shirt. His dark brown leather boots struck against the ground, making a thud sound with each of his steps, as he approached the duo.

”Good morning Mr. Levinson. I am Mr. Brighton's secretary.”  He greeted Adam, not paying any attention to Stella.

”And where exactly is Mr. Brighton?” Stella asked him curtly, raising an eyebrow at him.

”He's waiting for Mr. Adam's arrival.” The secretary replied as politely as he could.

”You mean to say that he's waiting for us, sitting in the lavish comfort of his office.” Stella added as a smirk crept up on her face. ”Shouldn't he be here to welcome us? Or at least his son could have come since he's the Vice President of the company. Is this how you treat your guests?”

”N-No. You are taking it wrongly Miss. They were supposed to be here but they are caught up in a meeting. It was supposed to end ten minutes earlier but due to some technical issues which happened in between the presentation, it got delayed. I apologise for that.” The secretary replied in a polite tone, though he was internally cursing her, but he knew better not to voice his thoughts out.

”Shall we go upstairs now?” He asked, looking at Adam who replied him with just a nod.

”You sure know a lot.” Adam murmured softly as he pulled her towards himself a bit.

”I don't. But we do have internet these days you know. What do you think I was doing with my phone all the way to here.” She replied to him, keeping her voice as low as she could before slowing down her steps so that she could walk behind him.

Adam narrowed his eyes at her. He hated it whenever she did that.

Stella glared at him, giving him a warning as not to start acting like a child.

It wasn't his company where they could even walk hand in hand and people won't even bother looking at them. If they even walk side by side here, it's going to end up in tomorrow's newspaper and that too on the front page.

Adam knew this too well, so he continued walking ahead of her with a grumpy face as they entered the building.

Taking the President's personal elevator, the man guided them all the way to the President's office.

”I am sorry that I cannot welcome you myself. I was in a meeting, it just got finished.” A man in his early fifties walked towards them.
