Chapter 228 - A Fight Over Orange Juice (1)

She continued to explain the way she would prefer her drink as the two men who were accompanying her, continued to stare at her with weird expressions marring their faces. Both of them had the same thought running in their minds. 'How could someone who looks like her, eat this much?'

When she was done explaining the waiter about her drink, she shifted her attention to the two men who were still staring at her. She scrunched her eyebrows together. "What are you staring at?" She directed her narrowed eyes at their faces and questioned them. 

"Nothing." 

"Nothing."

They answered at the same time, their voices overlapping with each other. They shared a look before shifting their attention back to the woman who was still glaring at them. 

"You can place your order as well, Mr. Taylor." She spoke up while looking in his direction before she turned her gaze to the man sitting next to her. "And you!" She pointed her finger towards David before shifting it to the folder. "Focus on this." She tapped her finger on the file which was lying open before him, just to stress her words.

--------

"Can I eat now?" David heaved out a long, tired sigh and questioned his Boss. He was famished after going through that thick bundle of pages, there was barely a single molecule of energy left inside his body. 

They papers were signed and Taylor had already left after finishing his meal, while Stella was focused more on finishing her orange juice than the crying man child next to her. 

"Are you listening to me?" David asked her when he didn't get a response from her. A single him entered his ear which was her response to his second question. He was beginning to see red everywhere, especially when his eyes landed on the huge glass muh which was still half filled with freshly squeezed orange juice. 

He clenched his jaw as his began to lose his temper. He knew he couldn't get angry at her, so he tried to think of a better way to teach her a lesson for being so careless about her employee's needs. 

A devilish smirk graced his lips and his eyes began to shine with a mischievous glint. He lightly tapped her on his shoulder to get her undivided attention. When he saw her letting go of the glass straw from her lips and turning her face towards him, he leaned his face in, startling her by their sudden closeness. 

"May I?" He questioned her while gazing into her hazel orbs which mirrored his face under the bright yellow lights. 

"Huh?" Stella furrowed her eyebrows, a small v forming in between her scrunched brows. 

"May I have it?" She heard him ask her the same question again but this time it was a bit descriptive. Though she had no idea what the man was referring to, she still nodded her head in a yes. That was the only thing she could do under his intense stare. 

"Thanks." He muttered softly, but loud enough for her ears to catch it. His response made her more confused but it went flying right out of the window when she saw what he did next. 

He grabbed onto her glass mug and brought it closer to his lips. Not paying any attention to the straw, he chugged it down. After finishing half of what was left of the juice, he exhaled out a contented sigh with a big goofy smile resting on his face. 

Stella opened and closed her mouth a couple of times like a gaping fish out of water, as she refused to believe what had just conspired before her eyes. Not a single word could find its way to her lips as if all of them had died at the base of her throat. 

"How could you?" She finally managed to speak as she gritted her teeth. 

"How could I what?" He tried to feign innocence but failed at it terribly. 

"You!" Stella jumped towards his direction to grab the mug back but she was too slow for him as he had already predicted her move and had shifted from the seat. 

"You missed." He spoke up while wearing a proud smirk on his face. He was now standing a couple of feet away from her, holding the mug up in the air as it was some golden trophy, which it kind of was for him. 

He saw her shifting from her seat and move to where he was standing. As if everything happened in a blink of an eye, the two grown up adults were running around the empty room with Stella following him around he tried to keep the mug to himself. 

"Why do you want it back?" He chuckled as he saw her petite figure trying to catch up with his tall one. 

"What do you mean back? It's mine to begin with. How dare you snatch my drink away?" Stella yelled at him. 

"Hey! I asked you if I could have it, not once but twice. And you said yes to me." David came to stop on the other side of the table as he gave her an innocent look. 

"I didn't even know you were talking about my drunk or else there was no way I would have said yes to you. I love my drinks way too much to even share it with someone." Stella scrunched her nose up to show her displeasure as she slowly walked out to where he came to a stop. 

She was about to grab the mug back from his hands but he moved it away from her reach, holding it up in the air. Stella let out an annoyed grunt when she saw him using his tall height for his own advantage. She tried to reach the mug as she stood on her tiptoes, though it was not very easy to those block heeled boots. Even after she managed to pull it off, she was nowhere near his elbows. 

'I could reach it if I jump.' She thought to herself but decided not to act on it as her mind reminded her of her pregnancy. 'That definitely won't do my babies any good.' She threw that idea out of the window as well as she wouldn't like if any harm were to come to her babies, that too over a glass of orange juice. 

But she continued to stand on her tiptoes, refusing to give up easily before the man. She tried to reach as high as could but it was useless before the man who continued to stand in a relaxed manner while leaning against the mahogany wood table. He was not even standing up all the way straight and only had his hand extending up into the air. 

He was about to continue teasing the woman who was trying her best to reach up to the mug which was waiting to be grabbed by her. But all of his thoughts came crashing down when he heard her yell as she lost her footing.
