Chapter 151 - You Shouldnt Have Done That (1/2)
The peaceful atmosphere between the four of them was interrupted as a man's voice approached their ears.
”It's good to see you again Miss Stella.”
The four of them turned around in the direction where the voice had come from.
Taylor stepped towards them with slow and steady steps. The plain black coat and dress pants, though didn't exactly made her stand out in the crowd but didn't turn down his charismatic aura by one bit. The silk button-down maroon shirt, which was peeping out in between the lapels of his coat, stood out against the little amount his exposed fair skin as he had undone the first two buttons of the shirt.
”Mr. Taylor, I didn't expect to see you hear.” It was Adam who spoke up first.
”I was getting bored and didn't have anything else to do. So I decided to show up here for a while. The invite was resting on my study desk anyways.” Taylor replied leisurely as he came to a stop, standing next to Adam.
”Mr Blake! It's a pleasure to see you here.” He directed his eyes towards Blake who just nodded back at him. This was how Blake has always treated people with whom he didn't have any link with.
”Good evening to you as well.” He shifted his gaze to Lillian for a mere second, who didn't even bother with acknowledging him with a nod, before turning his head back to Adam.
”Did you get the reports? I asked them to send you a copy as well.” He asked Adam, his whole stance changing into a serious one as he started to talk about business.
”I did. The progress is good so far. But we can do better. The earlier the set up is done, the sooner we can start with the production.” Adam nodded slightly as he began to speak. His one hand was inside the pocket of his pants while the other one rested in the curve of Stella's back.
”You are right. We have the first batch of machinery and technicians arriving at the end of this month.” Taylor replied to him. ”We have to visit the place then.”
Adam hummed in response. He was in no mood to entertain the pathetic excuse of a man, who was standing before him.
”How are you doing Ms Stella?” He finally moved his head to face Stella.
”I am doing fine Mr. Taylor. Hope you are doing good as well.” She added, keeping her as straight as she could. She didn't know why but he always gave her a creepy feeling everytime their eyes locked.
”That, I am.” He replied to her, his lips curling up in a bright smile. He eyed Stella up and down. She looked pretty fine to him. 'The drug should have started to affect her by now. But she looks damn fine to me.' He thought to himself.
”You guys carry on. I have to leave now. My presence is required somewhere.” Taylor bid his goodbye to the two couples and turned around to leave. The peaceful expression on his face was replaced by anger as he clenched his already fisted hands which were inside his pocket. 'That b***h can't even do one job right.'
He knew how potent the drug was as it was made by his own people. The amount he gave Rachel to, was enough for Stella to be affected by now. But looking at her relaxed state, he could tell that she didn't have a pinch of it in her system.
'Looks like I need to step up my game.' An evil grin broke over his face as he got inside his car.

”You alright sweetheart?” Adam asked Stella as she settled down next to him.
