Chapter 297: The Traitor (1/2)

”Why did you call me? It better be important, or else you are dead meat.” Adam spoke up as he made his way into Blake's office.

”Who managed to get on your nerves?” Blake looked at him quizzically, shifting slightly in his swiveling chair.

”You did.” Adam spat back at him as he settled down on the chair across him.

”Oh! Come on, man. Don't be such a hen-pecked husband. You know I would never call you if it's not work related. Moreover, when was the last time you hung out with your childhood buddy?” Blake narrowed his eyes at him and spoke through his clenched jaw.

Hearing his words, Adam couldn't help himself but chuckle in response. ”You sure are a hypocrite. Do I have to remind you of the times when you used to ditch me just because there was someone back here who needed more of your attention?”

The corner of his lips turned upwards ever so slightly as he passed the man who was sitting on the other side of the desk, a lop-sided grin, only to earn an eye roll in return.

”No need to act so smug, Adam Levinson. Both of us how crazy we are when it comes to the women in our lives.” Blake shook his head sideways and let out a low chuckle.

”You are right, but can we go to the main topic here? I cannot stay here for long.” Adam interrupted him before he could continue further.

After seeing Stella's reaction to the news about Taylor's demise, he didn't want to leave her alone even if it was in the confinements of their own home. Though she was doing better now, he still wanted to be by her side. He couldn't risk her mental health at all, as it would not only affect her, but their babies as well.

He knew that Stella would hate herself if anything was to happen to their unborn children, and that she would have his neck on a blade if something of the sort might happen.

”I thought you might want to have a chat with the man in person for once before we take care of him.” Blake answered him. He didn't want to stay for too long here as well for he was missing Lillian.

She wanted to follow him to the base but he had turned her down because he knew that she might need some rest after the ordeal of the other day. He knew it would be better to give her some space to get her thoughts straight than letting her tag along with him to the base.

”Actually, yes! I would love to have a chat with that traitor.” Adam nodded his head in a yes as he got up from the chair. ”I have been dying to know as to why he betrayed me and the company.”

”Well, I wanted to know the same, but I thought it would be better if you are the one who gets to interrogate him.” Blake added before following his suite. He got up from his swiveling chair and made his way around the wooden, carved desk.

”Let's go and play some good cop, bad cop.” He added as he made his way towards the door with Adam in tow.

”Nah! It's time to play some bad cop, bad cop.” Adam corrected him as a sinister smile embraced his lips.
