Chapter 253 - Do You Smell That? (1/2)

”Good morning, Mr. David.” Stella greeted him with a bright smile on his face.

Every department of Levinson's Corp. was busy with tasks assigned by her. They wanted to get them done as soon as possible as they only had a week remaining before the deadline given by her.

Stella was on a round around the company as she needed to ensure that no one was slacking, not that they had the guts to do it while she was roaming around the corridors of the company. It's not like she had anything else to do as almost all of her work was done as Adam was helping her with dealing other matters so that she could completely focus on the take over of R&E Group of Companies.

It had been a week since his pain relapsed, but she was glad that he was doing better and the medicines prescribed by Wilson were doing their job too well. She was supposed to go to her doctor last weekend with Adam but her doctor had to leave for an international conference which was being held in a neighbouring country and had to reschedule her appointment for today. She was a bit excited about it as it would be the first time she wouldn't be alone and that he would be with her.

”Good morning, Boss.” David greeted her back and returned her smile with his own, making the women who was standing around him, burning with jealousy.

She was just taking a small walk on the floor below the cafeteria when her eyes landed on his favorite human. Her lips curled up in an eye-catching smile which was soon replaced by a scowl when her eyes shifted to the unwanted flies which were pestering him.

From the day, 'David' had showed up at the company and was assigned the role of her personal assistant, he right away became famous not only among the female employees of the company, but males as well. But the two groups had their own reasons for keeping an eye on him.

'Did this man really have to choose such a handsome face for a mask?' Stella thought to herself, clenching her palms into fists. Every time she caught some random woman stealing glances in his direction, she would end up seething with anger. With or without the mask, the man was hers, and only she had the right to ogle at him. In her attempt to shoo away those unwanted flies, she greeted him.

”Good morning, Boss.” Her employees greeted her. Even though every ounce of their bodies was burning with jealousy, they had to show her respect. They had never seen the man even curling his lips ever so slightly, no matter how good or seductively they dress up before approaching him. And here he was, showing off those white pearls on a single greeting by her.

”Here I was thinking that every single member of the staff would be busy because of the workload. It looks like I didn't assign too much of work for your department.” The one corner of her lips slightly curled up in a sarcastic smirk.

”Oh, no! We were just asking Mr. David here about some of the problems that we have been facing regarding our work.” One of the women stepped forward and began to explain to her as politely as she could.

”If you have any problems, discuss it with your mates, or if it is too big of a problem, then you can ask your superiors.” Stella raised one of her delicate eyebrows as she looked at the woman before her. ”And as far as I remember, I hired him to be 'my' personal assistant, not yours.” She continued, stressing on the word 'my'.

”That's... not… want I meant, Boss.” Her broken reply was heard which only made Stella to scoff.

Instead of replying to her, she turned her attention to the man who was standing next to the woman. ”If you are done playing around, shall we go now, Mr. David?” She questioned him with deadpan expression.

”As you say, Boss.” How could the lovesick fool say no to her, never till his last breath. A low hum was heard in response as Stella began to walk away from the crowd which had gathered around.

Without even giving the pestering flies a mere look, he began to follow Stella who had already left the place, like a puppy following his owner.

”Do you smell that?” He questioned her when they were at a good distance away from the crowd as he tried to catch-up with her.

”Smell what?” Stella gave him a side glance and questioned him as she continued to walk towards the elevator.
