Chapter 225 - If Only Adam Was Here With Me (2/2)

She glanced at the tall man who was towering over her. His left hand was resting on the glass wall right next to her head, supporting the weight of his body.

”You okay?” He questioned her as a frown marred his broad forehead.

Stella could only nod her head in a yes as she gazed up at his tall figure. She saw him clench his jaw as his body moved closer to her, his elbow bending in the process. Her eyes then drifted back to the group of boys who were laughing as they gave thumbs up to the one who was staring at her earlier.

”Close your eyes and ears.” David instructed her to which she complied.

Looking at her eyes which were tightly shunt and her ears against which she was pressing her palms, a devilish smirk graced his face. He turned his attention to the group of annoying kids which were treading on thin ice. It was better to show them their place and stop them before he made him lose him calm.

”Just a little advice for you youngsters. Don't go around messing with people you can't afford to. And she is one of them. Just because a person is nice, doesn't mean you get to bully them. And most importantly, keep your eyes off her or I will gouge them out.” He glared at them before turning his attention back to the woman who was still keeping her eyes and ears shut like an obedient child. His lips curled up in a wide smile as he looked at her face.

Even though he would have preferred those long locks over her new hairstyle, he had to accept that she looked more adorable like this. 'Damn!' He bent down his head and leaned his face close to her face. He lightly tapped her nose with his hand before resting it again on the glass wall behind her.

Sensing the light pressure on her nose, she finally moved her hands away from her ears and opened her eyes. She bit down on her lower lip when her eyes landed on his face. She furrowed her brows at their closeness. She wanted to push him away but couldn't even move a finger. It was as if her entire body was frozen at the spot under his tender gaze.

”Are you okay?” He asked her softly as he looked at her troubled expressions. Even though he knew that he was the reason behind it, he still asked her. He loved to see her all flustered up and acting so shy and meek, totally opposite of what she usually portrayed herself as before her employees back at the company.

Stella could only nod her head as she tried to avoid looking directly into his eyes. She couldn't understand why this closeness was bothering her so much. There was still a decent amount of distance between them. Maybe it was due to how he had acted and handled the situation. She knew Adam would have done the exact same thing for. What was with her missing him so much these days?

”Are you sure?” She heard him ask again as his minty breath wafted up her nose. ”Why does your face look so red?” She looked up at his face only to see him staring back at her with concern.

”Yeah!” She could only mustered up the courage to say a single world as she bobbed her head up and down.

”You sure?” He questioned her again. He was trying his best to suppress the smile which was threatening to bloom on his face. He saw her face scrunching up clearly showing her annoyance by his repetitive inquiring.

”Can you stop asking me the same thing again and again?” She held his gaze and continued. ”I already told you that I am okay. Didn't you get it the first time? Don't you understand what a nod means?” She questioned him as she went back to being her usual self.
