Chapter 140: R&E Group of Companies

"Ow, ow, owww! It hurts so bad." Stella groaned in pain as she tried to move her legs. 

"We haven't started the real training yet and your body has already given up." Adam chuckled looking at her pitiful expressions.

"Your so called basic exercises aren't so basic at all." Stella replied with a scowl. 

They were sitting on the bench after their workout session.

"I did those exercises when I was six sweetheart. They are definitely the most basic ones." Adam flicked her forehead, making her yelp. "You don't look after your body at all, that's why your body is aching this much."

"Whatever." Stella jutted her lower lip out as she rubbed her forehead.

"If you are thinking that acting pitiful will help you in anyway, then you are so wrong baby girl." Adam said, pecking her pouty lips. 

Stella's expression turned worse as she threw a glare at him.

"Let's go, you need to freshen up. And so do I." Adam picked her up in his arms and carried her to the master bedroom. 

He didn't put her down once he was inside, but carried her all the way to the bathroom. 

He made her sit on the marble counter of the vanity before turning back towards the bathtub. He turned on both the faucets. He added some bath salts and essential oils in it and waited patiently for it to get filled. Once it was, he checked the temperature of the water by dipping his hand in it. After making sure that the water wasn't neither too cold nor too hot for, he turned his attention back to her. 

He helped her getting rid of her workout clothes before picking her up once again. He carried her to the bathtub and carefully put her down in the warm water.

"Do you need my help?" He asked her softly as he undid her bun, sitting on the edge of the bathtub.

Stella shook her head sideways. "Thank you for offering but I can manage. You should go and freshen up as well, or we might end up getting late for the office." She spoke up as she ran her dainty fingers through his silky black hairs.

"You need to get a haircut. They are getting longer." She absentmindedly murmured.

"I will get a haircut if that's what my girl wants." Adam kissed the crown of her head before getting up. "I will see you in a while." He spoke before leaving her on her own.

When Stella came out of the bathroom after her bath, her eyes landed on the bed and a tender smile graced her lips. 

A fresh pair of clothes were neatly placed on the bed, along with a matching accessories and low heeled pumps. 

There was a note lying on top of the dress. She moved the pair of studs which were placed over it and picked it up.

'Dress up!

I am waiting for you downstairs in the dining room.

Love, 

Adam.'

Stella neatly folded the note before kissing it. She opened the top drawer of her bedside table and pulled out a small antique jewelry box. She removed its top, her eyes landing on the multiple folded notes of different colors.

This box contained all of Adam's notes which he had left for her on different occasions. She placed the new one inside the box before placing it back in the drawer. 

'This box's getting full, I need to get a big one.' She made a mental note and turned her attention back to the suit Adam had picked out for her.

"Why haven't you started eating?" Stella frowned as she looked at the untouched breakfast placed before Adam. 

"I was waiting for you." Adam replied and shifted his eyes from his phone to her. 

As his gaze landed on her, he felt his breathing stop and his heart missing a beat, or maybe more than one beats.

She stood before him, dressed in a fitted, black high waist, checkered pants and an off-white button down shirt which was tucked in. A thin golden brown, leather belt was supporting her pants. Her cuffs were undone and rolled up to her elbows, a rose gold watch embracing her slender wrist. Her naturally wavy hair was tied up in a high pony, leaving a few strands which framed her face. She had kept her makeup minimal like she usually did for the office but this time she was wearing a reddish brown lip shade. 

Thought he was the one who had chosen her outfit and everything else she was wearing at the moment, he didn't know if she could pull off the look this well. 

She looked more like the owner of some company rather than his assistant. All she needed was a coat to go with her outfit. No, wait! She didn't even need that.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Do I look bad?" Stella's voice brought him out of his dazed state.

"No. You look good." Adam was at a loss for words. "Have a seat, the breakfast is getting cold." He added.

Stella nodded and sat down.

"You didn't tell me that we had a meeting today." Stella pursed her lips as she looked at him accusingly. She was angrily tapping her foot on the ground as she stood before his desk. 'I am his assistant and he is telling me that we have a meeting to attend after arriving at the office. And that too at some other company.'

"It escaped my mind sweetheart." Adam replied, giving her an innocent look.

"It escaped 'your' mind." Stella added as she gave him a doubtful look. She knew nothing can 'escape' his mind. It only meant one thing that he had done that deliberately. 

It didn't matter to her for what he did. What was actually bothering her was the 'why'.

"What are you hiding?" Stella looked at him skeptically. 

Adam sighed as he picked up his coat and a green file. He made his way towards her and hugged her. 

"I will tell you when the time is right. Just have some faith in me." He murmured as he buried his face in her neck, inhaling her scent which was mixed with that of the essential oils he had put in her bath. 

"I do Mr. Adam Levinson." She replied, pulling back from the hug as she took his coat from his hand. 

She helped him in putting on the coat before taking the file from his other hand.

"Can you at least tell me where are we going?" She narrowed her eyes at him.

"R&E Group of Companies." Adam replied with a wide smile.
