"My, my. Who do we have here? I never knew that Mr. Adam Levinson could dance so well." A masculine voice interrupted the duo making them turn their heads to look at the owner of the voice.
Stella's eyes landed on a tall man, almost as tall as Adam or may be he as an inch or two shorter than Adam, with muscular built and slightly bronzed skin walking towards them. He was wearing a light brown coat and pants with an off-white button down shirt with the first button left undone. The suit hugged his figure perfectly, enhancing his broad shoulders. He had the perfect figure like those male leads in novels. His dark brown leather boots clicking against the floor as he slowly walked towards them. His black hairs were unkempt where a few strands were hanging over this forehead. His obsidian black eyes shifted to Stella for a second before they went back to look at Adam. A lazy smile gracing his thin lips as he took a sip of his wine.
"And I never knew that Mr. Taylor has started to attend auctions." Adam replied with a faint smile.
"Well, you never no when one can find sothing valuable in these auctions. So, I thought why not give it a go. I may find sothing that I have been looking for so while." He replied leisurely, swirling his wine glass slowly as he extended his other hand towards Adam.
"I wish you luck for it. I hope you find what you are looking for." Adam replied as he shook his extended hand. "Let do the introductions." Adam said taking his hand back.
"Mr. Taylor, et Stella." He said gesturing towards her. "And Stella, et Taylor Williamson, the President of Williamson's Tech."
"It's a pleasure eting you." Taylor spoke up as he extended his hand towards Stella which she hesitatingly took.
"Sa here, Mr. Taylor. I have heard so much about your company." She politely replied but her eyes widen in shock when Taylor placed a soft peck on the back of her hand.
"I hope you don't drink too much tonight and end up bumping into people." Taylor spoke up leaving her hand.
His remark made both Stella and Adam frown.
"You have t before." Adam spoke up before Stella could ask the sa.
"If bumping into each other when the other person is drunk counts, then yeah, you could say we have." He replied with a laid back expression.
"You are the person I bumped into the other night." Stella finally spoke up, only to get a nod in response.
Seeing Adam's confused expression, she continued. "Blake's party. When I was coming back from the powder room, I bumped into soone."
"Oh! So, he's the one you bumped into." Adam nodded as he recalled her drunken self telling him about it with an annoyed expression.
Adam and Taylor continued to talk about business while Stella stood there quietly listening to their conversation, leaning her elbows on the table. Adam took out his phone from the inner pocket of his coat when he felt it vibrating. Seeing that it was Liam calling him, he excused himself.
"I will be back in a minute or two." He whispered in Stella's ear as he kissed in her cheek and headed out of the hall to find soplace quiet.
"So Stella, Do you have a job?" Taylor asked her, trying to strike up a conversation with her.
Stella nodded as she took a sip from her glass. Getting a questioning look from him she continued. "I am Adam's assistant." She added truthfully.
"I did not see that coming." Taylor replied with a shocked expression. "I thought you were just his partner for tonight." He continued.
Stella gave him a polite smile in return.
"So, you guys are a thing?" He asked with curiosity.
Stella didn't know how to reply to that and only shrugged her shoulders. She was internally scolding Adam. 'He could have just gone outside without kissing my cheek.'
'But he did see you dancing with him and that too quiet intimately.' Her subconscious nagged at her.
"Well, if you don't want to tell then I can't force you to. It's your personal matter. I was just being the curious cat that I am." He gave a toothy grin.
Stella politely smiled taking a big sip of her drink. She didn't want to continue talking to him because for so reason, he gave her a creepy feeling. She could only wish for Adam to co back sooner.
