Chapter 180 - Cold Shoulder (1/2)

Stella was pacing back and forth in front of the entrance of the mansion. She was expecting to get an earful of scolding from Adam on arriving. But nothing of the sort happened. In fact, Adam was not even at home. She even asked Uncle Rob about him but even the old butler didn't have any idea about his whereabouts. He just saw him leaving when he was going towards the servants' quarters. And by the look on his face, he seemed really angry.

After knowing about that, Stella felt restless. She wasn't worried about him at the moment. What troubled her was the fact that he was angry when he left.

'An angry Adam is definitely a good thing for me.' She thought inwardly as she was almost on the verge of crying.

She heard a low chuckle which made her turn her head towards the source. Edward was leaning against his parked car, looking at her with an amused expression.

”Why are you laughing?” Stella narrowed her eyes and asked him.

”Because I am amused.” He replied with a smile.

”Here I am, almost on the brim of losing my mind. And you find the situation amusing?” She gave him a questioning look only to get a nod in response.

Stella glared at him one more time before continuing with her pacing.

”You walking back and forth on the same spot won't make time go any faster.” Edward added earning another glare from him.

”What do I do now?” She asked herself while walking back and forth next to the fountain which was located in the center of the driveway.

”Uh.. wait.” Edward stated the obvious answer to her question. Even though he knew that she was talking to herself. But he couldn't let her worry herself to crazy, so he decided to continue to talk to her while waiting for his Big Boss.

”Can we at least go inside and wait for Big Boss there?” He asked her when he felt a gush of cold wind. He only had one thought in his mind. 'If she gets a cold while waiting outside for him here in my presence, Boss will definitely kill me.'

”You can go inside if you want to. I am not going in, unless he comes.” She replied to him, still continuing her pacing.
