Chapter 228 - A Fight Over Orange Juice (1) (1/2)
She continued to explain the way she would prefer her drink as the two men who were accompanying her, continued to stare at her with weird expressions marring their faces. Both of them had the same thought running in their minds. 'How could someone who looks like her, eat this much?'
When she was done explaining the waiter about her drink, she shifted her attention to the two men who were still staring at her. She scrunched her eyebrows together. ”What are you staring at?” She directed her narrowed eyes at their faces and questioned them.
”Nothing.”
”Nothing.”
They answered at the same time, their voices overlapping with each other. They shared a look before shifting their attention back to the woman who was still glaring at them.
”You can place your order as well, Mr. Taylor.” She spoke up while looking in his direction before she turned her gaze to the man sitting next to her. ”And you!” She pointed her finger towards David before shifting it to the folder. ”Focus on this.” She tapped her finger on the file which was lying open before him, just to stress her words.

”Can I eat now?” David heaved out a long, tired sigh and questioned his Boss. He was famished after going through that thick bundle of pages, there was barely a single molecule of energy left inside his body.
They papers were signed and Taylor had already left after finishing his meal, while Stella was focused more on finishing her orange juice than the crying man child next to her.
”Are you listening to me?” David asked her when he didn't get a response from her. A single him entered his ear which was her response to his second question. He was beginning to see red everywhere, especially when his eyes landed on the huge glass muh which was still half filled with freshly squeezed orange juice.
He clenched his jaw as his began to lose his temper. He knew he couldn't get angry at her, so he tried to think of a better way to teach her a lesson for being so careless about her employee's needs.
A devilish smirk graced his lips and his eyes began to shine with a mischievous glint. He lightly tapped her on his shoulder to get her undivided attention. When he saw her letting go of the glass straw from her lips and turning her face towards him, he leaned his face in, startling her by their sudden closeness.
”May I?” He questioned her while gazing into her hazel orbs which mirrored his face under the bright yellow lights.
”Huh?” Stella furrowed her eyebrows, a small v forming in between her scrunched brows.
”May I have it?” She heard him ask her the same question again but this time it was a bit descriptive. Though she had no idea what the man was referring to, she still nodded her head in a yes. That was the only thing she could do under his intense stare.
”Thanks.” He muttered softly, but loud enough for her ears to catch it. His response made her more confused but it went flying right out of the window when she saw what he did next.
He grabbed onto her glass mug and brought it closer to his lips. Not paying any attention to the straw, he chugged it down. After finishing half of what was left of the juice, he exhaled out a contented sigh with a big goofy smile resting on his face.
