Chapter 202 - Project Site (2/2)

”Hey, hey, hey! Easy girl. Take a deep breath.” He asked her to which she complied. He heard her exhaling out a long breath. Even from her tone, he could tell how much she was worried about him.

”I am so sorry.” She apologized to him again for disturbing him at this hour, knowing fully well that he must be busy.

Adam shook his head sideways, even though he knew that she couldn't see him on a voice call. ”There's no need for you to apologise to me, sweetheart.”

”But.. I-I…” She tried to explain herself, but was stopped by him right away.

”Didn't you hear me?” He rolled his eyes back before frowning. 'Damn! When did I started doing this?' He couldn't help but think to himself. Unknowingly, he had started to act like her when it came to certain things.

”I just needed to hear your voice to make sure that you are alright. I have been having this weird feeling since yesterday. And I woke up all startled up this morning.” She exhaled out another sigh in relief that he was completely fine.

”Don't worry about me, love. I am completely fine. Did you have your breakfast?” He replied to her, questioning her at the same time.

Before he could hear her reply, a loud bang made its way into his ears, making him frown. He walked close to the glass wall which looked over the machinery, thinking that it was one of the machines malfunctioning.

But before he could register what was going on another loud bang was heard. This time it was way more closer than the previous one. He saw the entire production line blew up before his eyes as scraps of metal flew in every direction. The only thing which acted as his protective barrier was the thick glass wall which now had cracks running across its width.

He knew it won't protect him for much longer. He made its way towards the door as he spoke into the phone's speaker. ”Stella, go and have some breakfast. I will talk to you once I get back to the hotel.”

”W-what was th-at s-sound?” Her stuttering voice entered his ears. He knew that she must have heard the sounds clearly based on how loud they were.

”Listen to me!” He raised his voice a bit as he made his way out of the room, only to find that the entire army of his subordinates had already left. ”No matter what happens, I will always find my way back to you. You just look after yourself for me and promise me that you won't give up on us.” He asked her as he tried to find his way through the bursting flames which were engulfing everything. With each passing second, the number of bangs were increasing.

----------

”I-I-I… promise.” She managed to speak in her dazed state. Her eyes had already started to tear up.

”I love you so, so much, my little elf.” She heard his voice before another loud, deafening bang entered her ears before the other line went quiet.
