Chapter 137 - Half Hourly

"I will visit the base every weekend from onwards. Make the required changes to my room before Saturday. And I want the account logs of the diamond mines on my desk by next weekend, along with the person who's looking after them." Adam spoke up as he got into his car. 

"You got it man." Blake replied as he shut the car door close.

"Are you planning on telling Stella about this organization thing?" It was Lillian who spoke up. 

"No. I don't want to hide things from her, but I don't want to expose her to this life either, not unless it's necessary." Adam heaved out a tired sigh. He hated hiding things from her, but he couldn't tell about this part of his life even though he wanted to do it badly.

"You are right, there's no need to expose her to danger." Blake added.

"She already is exposed to danger. Are you forgetting the fact that she is Adam's girlfriend?" Lillian said, smacking the back of Blake's head.

"You can take your time, but you have to tell her one day. The sooner, the better." She turned her attention towards Adam. 

Adam nodded his head in agreement. "I will tell her when the time is right." 

"You better do, because if you don't, I definitely will." Lillian said, throwing a glare at him. 

Adam bid his good-byes to the couple and drove away from the abandoned mansion, heading in the direction of his home. All he wanted to do at the moment was to lie next to Stella and hold her in his arms.

"What did you call me when were upstairs?" Blake yanked Lillian's arm towards himself, making her body collide with his own. 

Lillian frowned as she looked back into his dark brown orbs. "What did I call you?" She spoke up after thinking for a while. She couldn't recall what exactly he was referring to as she had developed a habit of calling him names after finally saying yes to his proposal.

"You called me a slowpoke." He flicked her forehead, making her pout.

"So? You are one." She replied as she rubbed her forehead.

"That's not what you say when I am actually poking you." His lips curled up in a lop-sided grin as his eyes lit up with a mischievous glint. 

"How do you make every single word which comes out of my mouth about sex?" Lillian glared at him. 

"I can't say about other words, but let's just focus on poking for now." He said as he picked her up in his arms. 

Lillian instinctively put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

"You won't get to do any poking today." Lillian retorted back, making him chuckle. 

Both of them knew that it wasn't going to happen for as long as they were alone in a room, they can not keep their hands to themselves.

Blake took her inside and headed towards the elevator.

"Did you call for me?" Stella entered his office and walked towards his desk. 

"Yes. Where were you? Your cell phone is switched off and you weren't picking up your office phone as well." Adam replied, looking up from his laptop. 

"I was just chatting with some colleagues. And my cellphone is dead and it's not charging. I don't know if something's wrong with it's the jack or the charger." Stella replied as she stopped next to him. 

Adam turned his chair around and pulled her on his lap. 

"You need to stop doing this." Stella added as he pecked her lips. 

"There's no one else besides us sweetheart. We can do as we please." Adam replied to her with a wink.

Stella shook her head at his antics. He would say or do anything as long as he gets to spend some time with her. 

"Moreover, I needed my hourly dose of you." He murmured against her lips before capturing them in a passionate kiss. 

"More like half hourly." Stella spoke up in between her breaths as soon as he let go of her lips.

"You do know that I can't get enough of you." Adam added, stroking her back. 

'Just like I can't get enough of you.' Stella thought to herself but didn't voice it out. 

"Well, some of the staff members are going out for drinks and they asked me out." Stella decided to finally bring up the main point she wanted to talk to him about.

"And you couldn't say no because they insisted so much that you had to agree." Adam interrupted her and finished her words as if reading her thoughts. 

Stella meekly nodded her head in a yes.

"Isn't it too late to ask me about it since you have already said yes to them?" Adam raised an eyebrow at her.

"I would turn them down if you say so." Stella immediately replied. 

"You don't have to. Since my little elf has given her word to them, she won't take it back. Just send me the details of the location, I will pick you up on my way back home." Adam spoke up as he ran his fingers through her hair. 

"And don't drink too much." He continued, giving her a warning glare. 

"I won't drink too much, I give you my word." Stella added as she bobbed her head up and down.

"Alright then, off you go now." Adam said, kissing the side of her head. 

"I will miss you." Stella placed a feather like kiss on his firm lips before getting up from his lap and heading towards the door. 

"I forgot to tell you that your trainer will join tomorrow. He slept late last night, so couldn't wake up early." Adam spoke up as his eyes were set on her retreating back. 

"Okay! I will be ready by 6 tomorrow morning." Stella raised her hand up in the air, making and okay sign without turning back. Only if she had, she wouldn't have missed the devilish smirk gracing Adam's lips.
