Chapter 110 - Let Me Show You

"Shhh!!! I am here sweetheart. You are okay, and in my arms." Adam spoke up in a soft voice as if he was cooing a crying child. 

"Stop with the crying baby girl. You know it breaks my heart to see you like this." He whispered softly above her head, his left hand was rubbing her back slowly as he tried to calm her down.

He felt Stella nodding against his chest, but she didn't stop crying.

"I am sorry for what happened Mr Taylor." Adam spoke up as he finally registered the presence of another person standing before him. 

"It's not your fault." Taylor replied lazily with a shrug.

"But it did happen in my company. So, I apologise to you for the inconvenience. And I am sorry to say but I won't be able to make it to the meeting, I have something urgent on my hands which needs my utmost attention." Adam continued, giving him an apologetic smile. 

"It's alright. You take care of whatever it is." Taylor replied and made his way to the other elevator. 

Adam asked Bella to go with him and ask the V.P to deal with the meeting himself.

After they left, Adam looked at the girl, who was crying in his arms, with a broken expression. He slowly bent down and picked her up in his arms. 

Stella's arms automatically wrapped around his neck and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, still crying like a child. 

With his girl secured in his arms, Adam made his way to his elevator.

Looking at the retreating figure of their Boss which soon disappeared from the sight as the elevator doors closed, everyone had their jaws touching down the floor. Every staff member of the 22nd floor would be remembering this moment until the end of their lives. 

-----------------------

Adam put down Stella on the soft mattress of his bed but she refused to let go of him. This little action of hers, melted his heart. But at the same time it caused him pain. He just couldn't see her in such a state.

"I am not going anywhere Stella. I will be here, right next to you." He murmured softly next to her face as he tried to calm her nerves down.

Slowly and reluctantly, Stella let go of his neck and let him put her down on the bed. 

After putting her down, Adam moved to the foot end of the bed and removed her black heels, placing them down next to the bed.

He removed his coat, undid his cuffs and rolled them up to his elbows. After removing his shoes and undoing the top two buttons of his shirt, he joined her on the bed.

After pulling her close to him, he made sure that she was lying in a comfortable position before covering her and himself with the duvet. 

He kept murmuring sweet nothings next to her ear as he rubbed her back softly and slowly. And soon he heard her even breathing. 

He looked down at her face only to find her eyelids peacefully shut. 

He heaved out a long sigh which he didn't know that he was holding in. 

Even though she had fallen asleep, but Adam didn't stop rubbing her back.

As time went by, Adam's eyelids grew heavy and he drifted off to his dreamland.

"Boss." Lillian entered Blake's room without knocking. But the sight before her, made her face flushed.

Blake had just came out after taking a shower. The only thing he had on, was a black towel which was wrapped around his waist. 

She could see the water droplets which were glistening over his toned muscles. She could feel her throat running dry at the sight presented before him. A bunch of scenes from a few nights ago flashed through her mind, making her blush deeper. 

"Like what you see?" Blake's husky voice broke her out of her daydreaming. 

"These are the files you asked me to bring." She replied to him, keeping her emotions in check. 

She wasn't someone who displayed them for others but she knew she couldn't hide them from Blake. He could always read her like an open book. Maybe it's those five years that they had spent together. 

"Come here." He asked her as he sat down on the edge of the bed. 

Lillian complied to him, making her way towards him and stopping right before him.

With one swift movement, Lillian was lying down on the bed with him hovering over her. 

"These files could wait. But I don't think so that I can." Blake added in a hoarse voice, biting her earlobe in the process which earned him a moan from her. 

"Do you remember how you misbehaved that night?" He asked her. "I was angry with you and you tried to seduce me." He continued as his fingers grazed over her fishnet stockings.

"You know it wasn't me but the drug." Lilian replied with confidence. 

"Exactly my point! And you dared to try avoiding me after that." Blake's fingers moved under her skirt, closing in to her inner thigh. 

"Let me show you how it is actually done." Blake added before sealing her lips with his own.
