Chapter 189 - The Beautiful Girl With A Beautiful Name (2/2)
”We were on our way there when I received a call from my secretary about this event. He had forgotten to mention it to me earlier.” Scott shook his head in annoyance. ”He's becoming so forgetful these days.”
”It's alright. He's a man and has so much to look after.” Katherine patted his shoulder.
”Here you go.” Adam spoke up, interrupting their conversation as he placed a glass filled with freshly squeezed orange juice before Stella.
She frowned as her eyes landed on the crystal flute. She shifted her line of sight towards her man and glared at him. ”This is a 'party'.” She exclaimed in utter annoyance, stressing on the last word.
Adam just shrugged in response and pushed the glass further close to her. ”You have had enough drinks for today.” He spoke up while picking up three glasses of red wine from the tray. He uttered a thank you to the waiter before passing two of them to Katherine and Scott, keeping one for himself.
”You big bully.” Stella muttered under her breath as she picked up the glass.
Adam was about to retort when he felt his phone vibrating in his coat's inner pocket. He had a habit of putting his phone on silent whenever he was out or at home. He took it out to see that it was a call from the project site. He furrowed his brows when he looked at the timing. Picking up the call, he spoke into the phone's speaker only to hear a garbled response.
He tapped on her shoulder to get her attention as she was too invested in conversing with Katherine. ”The network here is bad. I need to take this call.” He spoke softly into her ear when he as successful in getting her attention.
Stella nodded in response, getting a peck on the side of her head before she saw him disappearing into the crowd.
”What happened to him?” Katherine couldn't help but ask her.
”He had to take an important call.” Stella answered her.
”These men.” Katherine muttered as her eyes shifted to Scott who was busy on his phone as well.
”It's alright Katty. They have to run their own empires. It's not easy.” Stella tried to make her understand.
”I know that, Stella. It's just, I hate it when these two ignore their own health.” She hated it. ”And guess what? My dear twin brother is the same as these two morons.” She glared at Scott before grabbing his phone. ”It's Sunday! What did we talk about Sundays.”
When Stella saw her attention shifting towards Scott, she decided to enjoy her orange juice. She stopped a waiter who was passing by her table and asked him to bring some snacks for who politely bowed his head before her. She couldn't comprehend the reason of her increased hunger since the past few days. It must be because of those supplements that Wilson prescribed me.' She thought to herself. She wasn't worried about putting on weight because she that her metabolism worked a bit faster than usual. She had always been a lean kid.
On the other hand, Katherine was about to snatch his phone away, but her face became pale as her eyes darted towards the entrance of the room. She could recognize that face even in her sleep as it was the face who was responsible for her countless sleepless nights.
