My Little Sunshine

Chapter 189: The Beautiful Girl With A Beautiful Name

Wilson had told him about her a couple of times. He adored her like her own sister. As for him, he had nothing but respect for her. Even though she was just Adam's secretary, her business sense was way too good for someone of her age. 

He placed his left hand on the back of her shoulders, while his right one held onto her hand. He swayed her slowly to the soft melody being played in the background. Stella let him guide her through the dance since she knew that she was too bad at it.

Adam who was watching them from the distance began to see red everywhere. His anger was rising, building up with their every away. His eyes were focused on Stella's smiling face. The way she threw her head back every time she laughed was something he was fond of, but at the moment, it was causing him an immense amount of discontent. 

He couldn't take it anymore and finally stood up from his seat, smacking his fist into the table. He made his way towards the center of the stage where the two were dancing in long strides. He slowly tapped on the shoulder on the man and was ready to punch him right across his face but dropped the idea of doing so when he finally saw his face. There was contented expression on his familiar face. 

"Good evening, Mr. Levinson." He greeted her with a polite smile resting on his face. 

Before he could reply to her, a faint giggling sound made its way to his ears. His gaze shifted to his naughty little elf who was trying so hard to stifle the laughter threatening to escape her throat. 

He clenched his fists in annoyance when he realized that it was a trap and he had walked right into it. His eyes shifted back to the man, giving him a threatening glare. "Next time, dance with your own partner." 

"My partner does not like such events. I think you know it better than I do." Blythe smiled at him as he stepped towards his left, silently asking him to take his position. 

Adam narrowed his eyes at him one more time before giving him a smug look. "Off you go." He muttered to him before taking his previous position. 

Stella, who still trying so hard to control her laughing, felt her hand being tugged at before a pair of muscular arm enveloped her. 

She looked up, only to find a pair or gray eyes already looking at her. She smiled as she stepped closer to him, wrapping her hands around his neck.

"What happened to the beautiful girl with a beautiful name?" She questioned him as her lips curled up in a mischievous grin. 

"The only beautiful girl I know who has a beautiful name, is in my embrace right now, dancing with me." He replied, gazing back into her hazel orbs. 

Stella let out a chuckle as she buried her face at the base of his neck. "Don't try to pull that stunt again." She warned him as the duo moved to the soft melody.

"Good job, Stella. That was really amazing." Katherine spoke up as soon as the couple sat back. The girl named Clara, was nowhere to be found. After being humiliated like this, how could she even manage to stay here any longer. The moment Adam left the table, she decided to leave as well, making sure that Katherine didn't have her eyes on her. 

"Thank you for giving him a hard time." Stella smiled back at her. 

"Don't even mention it. I have always got your back girl." Katherine winked at her. 

"Don't mind me asking, but I thought you guys would have gone back to Amsterdam." Stella questioned the couple. The two of them had agreed that they would spend half of the weekdays in Amsterdam and the other half here as Scott's company was there and the biggest and head branch of 'Sparkle' in Berlin. 

"We were on our way there when I received a call from my secretary about this event. He had forgotten to mention it to me earlier." Scott shook his head in annoyance. "He's becoming so forgetful these days."

"It's alright. He's a man and has so much to look after." Katherine patted his shoulder. 

"Here you go." Adam spoke up, interrupting their conversation as he placed a glass filled with freshly squeezed orange juice before Stella. 

She frowned as her eyes landed on the crystal flute. She shifted her line of sight towards her man and glared at him. "This is a 'party'." She exclaimed in utter annoyance, stressing on the last word. 

Adam just shrugged in response and pushed the glass further close to her. "You have had enough drinks for today." He spoke up while picking up three glasses of red wine from the tray. He uttered a thank you to the waiter before passing two of them to Katherine and Scott, keeping one for himself. 

"You big bully." Stella muttered under her breath as she picked up the glass. 

Adam was about to retort when he felt his phone vibrating in his coat's inner pocket. He had a habit of putting his phone on silent whenever he was out or at home. He took it out to see that it was a call from the project site. He furrowed his brows when he looked at the timing. Picking up the call, he spoke into the phone's speaker only to hear a garbled response. 

He tapped on her shoulder to get her attention as she was too invested in conversing with Katherine. "The network here is bad. I need to take this call." He spoke softly into her ear when he as successful in getting her attention. 

Stella nodded in response, getting a peck on the side of her head before she saw him disappearing into the crowd. 

"What happened to him?" Katherine couldn't help but ask her.

"He had to take an important call." Stella answered her.

"These men." Katherine muttered as her eyes shifted to Scott who was busy on his phone as well.

"It's alright Katty. They have to run their own empires. It's not easy." Stella tried to make her understand.

"I know that, Stella. It's just, I hate it when these two ignore their own health." She hated it. "And guess what? My dear twin brother is the same as these two morons." She glared at Scott before grabbing his phone. "It's Sunday! What did we talk about Sundays." 

When Stella saw her attention shifting towards Scott, she decided to enjoy her orange juice. She stopped a waiter who was passing by her table and asked him to bring some snacks for who politely bowed his head before her. She couldn't comprehend the reason of her increased hunger since the past few days. It must be because of those supplements that Wilson prescribed me.' She thought to herself. She wasn't worried about putting on weight because she that her metabolism worked a bit faster than usual. She had always been a lean kid. 

On the other hand, Katherine was about to snatch his phone away, but her face became pale as her eyes darted towards the entrance of the room. She could recognize that face even in her sleep as it was the face who was responsible for her countless sleepless nights.
