Chapter 194 - I Can Read You Like An Open Book

"Drive the car to that spot there." She added while point towards the far most corner of the parking lot. Adam was confused by her sudden demand but still listened to her nonetheless. 

After parking the car at the said spot, he turned to look at her with curiosity. He saw her unfasten her seat belt and move to his seat. He looked at her smiling face as she straddled him, her knees resting on either side of his legs. Her fingers worked on his seat belt and unfastened it. 

"You do know that I know your childhood best friend." She skeptically looked at him. "So, I know that you started to smoke after your Dad left this world. Just like I know for a fact, that although you gave up on smoking but you still keep a packet in your car's dashboard and one at home in the last drawer of your study desk, more precisely the left side of it. Oh! Did I mention the packet you keep at your office? I don't think that I need to mention it's location as well." She looked at him, the corners of her lips curled up in a proud smirk. 

Adam chuckled lightly, shaking his head. He's definitely gonna kill Blake for spilling out his secrets. 

As if reading his thoughts, Stella narrowed her eyes at him, the smile on her face long gone. "You won't say anything to him." 

"Alright, Ma'am. I won't say even a single word to him." He raised his hands up in the air in defeat, before they went back to rest around her waist. 

"Good!" She exclaimed before continuing to explain the reason behind her absurd demand. "I also know why you keep those packets with you, Adam." She gazed into his gray orbs. "And I don't need the smell of cigarettes coming from you for me to know that something is troubling you." She cupped her cheeks in between her small palms. 

"Are you forgetting that I can read you like an open book?" She questioned him to earn a lop-sided grin from him. 

"I just didn't want you to worry." Adam replied to her, running his fingers through the locks of her hair, twirling their ends around his fingers. 

"Now, will you start talking? Or I have to force that out of you as well." She added, giving him a mischievous smirk. 

"Do you know Mr. Parker?" Adam asked her, bit answered his own question. "Our Vice President." When he saw her nodding her head in a yes, he explained the entire situation to him. 

"So, he is missing now." She exclaimed in shock. When she questioned him about what was bothering him, she expected an answer along the lines of a business deal going wrong or something that the company not being able to secure a project. But a missing person? That too the Vice President of his company? Never in her life. 

"Yeah! And the police there hasn't made much progress regarding the case. Their search for him hit a dead end." He explained it to her. 

"He will be fine, Adam. I know you are worried about him. But you tiring yourself because if it won't help him out. So, let's just focus on it and try to think of ways to find him with a calm mind. I am sure your men will find him, they are more than capable to do so." She tried to buck him up. 

"It's not him I am worried about. I may need to go there myself, I am more worried about leaving you here." He finally told her the reason behind his never ending worries. 

"That's it?" She looked at him quizzically. That was it? The reason behind his worries which made him to have a smoke, was just that. "I can tag along with you. Simple as that. Problem solved." She smiled at him brightly but Adam shook his head in a no. 

"You won't be going with me. You will stay back here like a good girl." He gave her a sad smile. The mere thought of leaving her back here was troubling him more than she or anyone else could imagine. The two of them hadn't lived a single day apart from each other after she moved into his room. He was so used to having her around himself, that he was dreading the days he might have to spend away from her. 

"So, you aren't worried about me staying back here, then what is it that you are so worried about?" She furrowed her brows, two small depressions forming in between them. "Wait! Are you actually sad because we will be apart?" Her eyes glowed with joy when she was finally able to put her finger on the reason behind his trouble. This man! She could just eat him. She pinched both of his cheeks as she was about to tease him but stopped herself when she saw his sulking expressions. 

"Hey?" She made him face her. "I will be just a call away. We can FaceTime each other daily before going back to bed. And moreover, I will always be here." She added the last sentence as she placed a hand over his heart. 

A smile appeared on Adam's face as he placed a lingering kiss on her forehead. She sure knows how to put a smile on his face and definitely has her own ways to do that.

"When do you have to leave?" She questioned him, burying her face in neck. 

"In the morning." He replied to her, heaving out a long, tired sigh. 

Stella smirked as sat up straight. "Let's make the most of our time." 

"What do you….." The rest of his words got stuck inside his throat as he gulped. 

"I meant this." She added mischievously as she continued to stroke his crotch. 

"S-Stella, don't play with fire." Adam gritted his teeth, clenching his jaw as he tried his best to control himself. They were in a damn car. What has gotten into this woman? 

"Oh come on, don't tell me that the idea of having sex in the car doesn't turn you on like crazy." She murmured against his chin before grazing it with her teeth. "And the glasses are tinted." She added as she placed his hands over his shoulder, scooting closer to him. 

"Don't you want to feel it, the thrill of doing it here?" She added, tracing her hand down to his broad, muscular chest. Her fingers could feel the toned muscles becoming taut under her touch. 

Adam shut his eyes tightly, trying to gather all of his self control not to take her then and there. But this didn't stop Stella from acting out all brave. She trailed her hands further south, tracing his flexing abs. Her fingers finally stopped at the buckle of his belt. Adam heaved out a long sigh, thinking that she had finally stopped. But the peace of his mind didn't last for long as her fingers began to move over his buckle, working their magic. After undoing his buckle, his fingers made their way to the button of his dress pants.
