Chapter 237 - Seems So Real (2/2)
Before she could call for him, the bathroom door unlocked with a click sound and flew open. ”What were you doing in there? And what was with all that staying quiet? And who was that man? How do you know him and how did he know where to find you?” She threw a series of questions his way, not bothering to lower her voice as she knew that the room was soundproof. It was one of the changes that she had made to the office.
Her voice got lost when her eyes landed on his face which wasn't not so familiar to her. She pursed his lips in a pout when she saw 'David' walking towards her direction.
”Hey, Boss.” He addressed her in his own voice as he walked towards her with a smirk resting on his face.
”Don't call me Boss.” Stella rolled her eyes at him as she began to walk towards him. She came to a halt right before him and wrapped her arms around his neck as she gazed into his gray orbs. ”It feels so weird seeing you like this.” She commented. It was indeed weird for him to see him like this after knowing about the truth. It was a good thing that he was using his own voice and was not wearing lenses to hide those gray irises of his, or else she wouldn't have been able to even get close to him.
”That man is from the same group I told you about earlier. He's sort of the delivery guy and delvers me a new mask everytime I ruin the one I own.” He chuckled lightly as she hugged her closer, wrapping his arms around her lower back.
”They are definitely damn good with their job.” Stella spoke up as her fingers traced over the mask. ”Seems so real.”
”Don't.” Adam spoke up when he saw her moving her fingers away. He grabbed her hand and leaned his face in her open palm as he held it in place. ”It's just a really thin silicone mask with some nanobots inside it which let it adhere firmly to my real skin, making it seem so real. And those nanobots allow me to feel as well, even through the mask.” He explained it to her as he rubbed his cheek against her palm.
”My dear little wife, you have to get used to seeing me like this. It's important to hide about me being alive from the person who's behind all of this.” He patted the top of her head before shifting the topic to something less intense.
”By the way, you have made some changes around her. This room is soundproof, isn't it?” He questioned her as he looked around the room. He was about to continue but stopped himself when he saw the lost look on her face as her eyes were fixed somewhere else. Following her line of sight, his eyes landed on a blinking red light which was barely the size of a medium sized watch dial.
”What's that?” He questioned her as he shifted his eyes from the small blinking bulb to the woman who was in his embrace.
