Chapter 84: I Promise
"Hey Bella. What's up?" She spoke after picking up the call once she was outside.
"Hello Stella. How are you?" Bella asked her politely.
"I am fine. What about you?" Stella replied.
"I am fine too. I actually need a favor from you. Are with boss right now? Or you can call him?" Bella hastily added.
"What is it?" Stella asked her in response.
"One of our subsidiaries overseas is facing a problem. Something went wrong with one of the projects. Our partners for the project, are not taking any responsibility for the loss and putting the blame on us. Though we don't mind about the loss but it's bad for the image of Levinson's Corp. The Vice President thinks that Boss should go and I think the same. It's not a small matter." Bella explained to her the situation.
"So?" Stella wasn't getting for what she needed her help.
"Mr. Robert did talk to Boss earlier, but he declined. He said he won't be going there and Mr. Robert should handle it on his own. Though he is able to do it but we need Boss to go. So, can you please talk to him, pretty please?" Bella was almost pleading her.
"When's the flight?" Stella asked her.
"Tonight at 12 a.m." Bella replied.
"How many days?" Stella asked her again as she started to walk towards Adam's room.
"Two to four days. It will take them five days at most." Bella replied politely.
"He won't miss the flight. And you don't have to thank me." Stella added, walking into his walk-in closet.
"Still, I owe you a big one. Mr. Robert asked me to talk to Boss but I didn't have the guts to." Bella replied.
After cutting off the call, Stella selected a bunch of business suits and some casualwear for him. Placing all of them on the king-size bed, she pressed the button that was next to his bedside table.
The old butler came in after three minutes.
"You called for me Young Master?" Uncle Rob spoke up as he entered the room but was shocked to see Stella standing there instead of Adam.
"I need a suitcase that could fit all of these and two to three pairs of shoes and sneakers." Stella politely asked him. "And don't tell this to Adam, please." Stella continued, giving him a wide smile.
"I will send one over." He replied.
"Thank you." Stella thanked him as he was heading out.
A few minutes later a servant brought over a big black trolley bag. And placed it on the table in the room. After thanking him, Stella started packing his clothes.
Half an hour later she was almost done with the packing and sent him a message.
---------------------
Adam was busy going through his emails. He was wondering what was taking her so long. 'Why hasn't she come back?' He thought to himself.
Just as he picked his phone up, it beeped. There was a message from Stella.
'Come to your room. ASAP!!!'
Shutting his laptop, he made his way towards his room, taking long strides. When he entered his room, he saw her hovering over a suitcase.
"Are you going somewhere?" He couldn't help but ask her.
"It's not for me, but for you." Stella replied without looking at him.
"I have packed almost everything, I think so. You should give it a look to check if I am forgetting anything or not." Stella replied as she took a glance at him.
"I am not going anywhere." Adam narrowed his eyes as he took a seat on the couch.
"You are going to the meeting whether you like it or not." Stella made her way around the table and sat next to him.
"You cannot just not go because you don't want to leave your girlfriend alone." Stella added as she pinched his chin.
"It's not because of you." Adam replied as he tried to avoid looking in her eyes.
"Oh really?" Stella gave him an amused look. "Then why are you avoiding looking at me." Stella pinched his cheeks. "I can tell when you are lying Adam. You are really bad at it."
"But I...." Adam spoke up but his lips were covered by her hand.
"No buts. You are going, and that's final." Stella gave him a glare.
Adam tugged at her hand, pulling her up on his lap. He hugged her tightly, burying his face in her neck.
"I will still be here when you come back." Stella tried to reassure the big baby who was sulking as he hugged her. "I promise." Stella ran her fingers through his silky hairs, her other hand patting his back slowly.
"I know." Adam murmured against her skin as he nuzzled into her neck, inhaling her vanilla scent in. It calmed his nerves down.
