My Little Sunshine

Chapter 112: Stella Got Played

"Why did you come?" Taylor asked him once again, without replying to his question. 

"I hope you had a good time with her in that elevator." His father scoffed as he leaned his back against the couch. 

"How do you know about the incident?" Taylor asked him, his eyebrows furrowing as he pondered over it. He just came back from the company after signing the contract. How did his father already know about it?

"It was you, wasn't it?" Taylor spoke up after a while. "You were the one who made it happen." He was seething in anger. 

"Answer me, father." His jaws were clenched tightly as he looked at his father with his anger-filled eyes. 

"You weren't supposed to be there with her." His father replied as he lit up a cigar.

"You wanted to trap her in there?" Taylor couldn't take it anymore and slammed his palm against the oakwood table. 

"It was just for a few minutes. What are you getting so worked up for?" His father replied to him with a laid back attitude.

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep your hands off her? Even if she gets a single scratch because of you, I will ruin you myself." Taylor added, gritting his teeth.

"But she doesn't even look at you."

"That does not concern you at all. You killed your woman, but don't try pulling the same stunt with mine." Taylor added with a scoff as he made his way towards the door.

"You know the way out." He said and left his father alone with his own thoughts. He knew what he had said, hurt him in the right place. 'Serves him right.' 

After Taylor had left, his lips curled up in a sad smile. 

"You know I didn't want it to happen." He muttered under his breath.

Stella refused to go out of Adam's office. She was dreading for what was about to come. Everyone in the company knew about their secret rendezvous by now, including the security guards and janitors. 

"Don't tell me that you won't be going out unless everyone has left." Adam spoke up, tilting his head down to look at the girl in his arms.

They were still in bed. The only thing which changed, was their position

Adam was now sitting up, leaning his back against the headboard, with Stella snuggled up against him, her face was buried in his chest and her arms wrapped tightly around his waist.

No matter how much Adam tried to coo her, she refused to budge, not that Adam minded it. He could lay down with her all day long without getting tired of it. He just couldn't get enough of her.

But what was actually troubling him, was the fact that she refused to step out of his office, not unless everybody has left for their homes.

"Even if you succeed in trying to avoid them, they will see you tomorrow anyway." Adam added politely.

"So you have to choices. One, you leave with me like we usually do. Two, I will throw you over my shoulders and take you out myself." He continued.

He won't stay at the office any longer than required. Spending days and nights at the office, was his life before he met her, and there was no way he was going back to that. 

Realizing the threat under his warm and soothing tone, Stella reluctantly nodded her head.

Adam stepped out of his office, with Stella following behind him closely. 

Adam tried to control the laughter that was trying to escape his mouth. The girl who used to walk next to him daily, was now walking three steps behind. Adam decided to let her do as she pleased, at least for now. 

From the time they exited his office together, until they entered Adam's private elevator, every pair of eyes were fixed on the duo. 

When they exited the elevator on the ground floor, Stella saw people stopping in their tracks and turning their heads around, just to have a look at them. Since it was the end of office hours, the ground floor was packed with people, who were leaving for their homes. 

Stella was getting more conscious when she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulders. Turning her head to the side slightly, she discovered that it was Adam's arm. 

No matter how much she tried to shrug it off, she couldn't. Adam maintained his grip around her shoulders. 

Until the duo arrived at the parking lot, Adam didn't let her go. Stella was fuming mad at hai actions. If it were possible, one could see steam blowing out of her ears.

Once they were settled in the car, Adam spoke up before turning on the ignition. "We will be going out of country for almost a week. There's a conference that I need to attend. Our flight is scheduled tomorrow." 

Stella was quiet for a minute as the gears in her mind were working. 

"You mean we won't be coming back here for an entire week. So, if we would have stayed inside for an hour or so, we would have managed to leave the building without all those staring and whispering?" She clenched her jaws as she looked at Adam with her hostile eyes.

Adam only shrugged in response and drove the car away from the parking lot and headed towards his home after turning on the ignition.

He wanted to scream at the top of his lungs and let the whole world know that she was his and only his alone. If not the world for now, he could at least let his staff know. The chance was served to him on a big silver platter. There was no way he would have let it slipped through his fingers. 

He looked at his girl, who was pouting and sulking like a child before turning his attention back to the road, his lips curling up slowly in a satisfied smile.
