Chapter 219 - David Morrison (2/2)
Shaking her head, she looked at the empty seat on her right and frowned. She turned her head around to see the man still standing a step behind her chair. ”What are you standing there, man? Sit down.” She narrowed her eyes at him while pointing her index finger towards the empty seat.
”Sorry.” The man uttered a meek apology as he scratched the back of his head and occupied the seat just like he was asked to.

”There you go.” Stella signed the papers and passed the file to Blythe who was too engulfed in his phone that he didn't even hear her.
Stella shook her head sideways. Judging from the smile on his face and the tenderness with which he was staring at his phone's screen, she could tell with whom he was chatting with.
”Earth to Blythe?” She smacked her palm flat on the table, startling him.
”What the f**k, Stella?” He threw a deadly glare towards her before shifting his eyes back to his phone which was now resting on the floor instead of his fingers. Her sudden yelling startled him out of his senses and his phone slipped through his fingers as his hold around it loosened.
He picked up the phone from the ground and checked whether it was still working or not without paying any attention to the number of stares his subordinates were giving him. He heaved out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the cracked screen which was still somehow working.
”Are you crazy?” He narrowed his eyes at her. Who does that?”
”Who zones out in between a meeting? There you go.” Stella smacked the file before him as she stood up from her chair. ”I have signed the papers. You can check it and let me know if there's a problem.” She spoke up before she heads out of the room, without waiting for his response.
The room was engulfed in silence as the people inside continued to stare at their Boss, thinking that he had messed it up. But little did they know that Blythe and Stella were good friends as Blythe had offered her his help on different occasions during the last one month. Moreover, he helped her out with the new subsidiary of Levinson's Corp. as his company invested it textiles mainly. This entire meeting was about the very same project that R&E Group of Companies 'messed up'.
”What?” Blythe glared at his subordinates, causing them to shift their gazes away. He picked up the pen which was resting next to the file and began to scan the signed documents. 'This woman! I swear I would have taught her a lesson if it wasn't about Wilson.' He thought to himself as he signed the papers where he was required to.

”You didn't do bad on your first day.” Stella spoke up as she gave David a polite smile.
They were waiting for their own elevators to arrive on the top floor. Almost everyone had left for their home except for these two. She did ask him to leave after the office hours were over but he refused to do so, saying that he wouldn't leave before her. All she did was shrug in response to his remark. But she had to accept that there was something about his presence that made her feel relaxed.
”Thank you, Boss.” He replied to her praise with a blank expression on his face which earned him a pout from her in response.
'Couldn't he smile while saying that?' She furrowed her delicate brows. A ping sound from her elevator made her shift her attention to the sliding doors. She was about to step inside but stopped in her tracks when she heard her phone ring.
She took her phone out and connected the call after seeing the identity of the caller, it was Bella. She quietly listened to her non-stop rambling about some file before she came to the main point.
”What!” She exclaimed in announcements as the frown on her face deepened.
