My Little Sunshine

Chapter 151: You Shouldn't Have Done That

The peaceful atmosphere between the four of them was interrupted as a man's voice approached their ears.

"It's good to see you again Miss Stella."

The four of them turned around in the direction where the voice had come from. 

Taylor stepped towards them with slow and steady steps. The plain black coat and dress pants, though didn't exactly made her stand out in the crowd but didn't turn down his charismatic aura by one bit. The silk button-down maroon shirt, which was peeping out in between the lapels of his coat, stood out against the little amount his exposed fair skin as he had undone the first two buttons of the shirt.

"Mr. Taylor, I didn't expect to see you hear." It was Adam who spoke up first.

"I was getting bored and didn't have anything else to do. So I decided to show up here for a while. The invite was resting on my study desk anyways." Taylor replied leisurely as he came to a stop, standing next to Adam.

"Mr Blake! It's a pleasure to see you here." He directed his eyes towards Blake who just nodded back at him. This was how Blake has always treated people with whom he didn't have any link with. 

"Good evening to you as well." He shifted his gaze to Lillian for a mere second, who didn't even bother with acknowledging him with a nod, before turning his head back to Adam.

"Did you get the reports? I asked them to send you a copy as well." He asked Adam, his whole stance changing into a serious one as he started to talk about business. 

"I did. The progress is good so far. But we can do better. The earlier the set up is done, the sooner we can start with the production." Adam nodded slightly as he began to speak. His one hand was inside the pocket of his pants while the other one rested in the curve of Stella's back. 

"You are right. We have the first batch of machinery and technicians arriving at the end of this month." Taylor replied to him. "We have to visit the place then." 

Adam hummed in response. He was in no mood to entertain the pathetic excuse of a man, who was standing before him. 

"How are you doing Ms Stella?" He finally moved his head to face Stella. 

"I am doing fine Mr. Taylor. Hope you are doing good as well." She added, keeping her as straight as she could. She didn't know why but he always gave her a creepy feeling everytime their eyes locked.

"That, I am." He replied to her, his lips curling up in a bright smile. He eyed Stella up and down. She looked pretty fine to him. 'The drug should have started to affect her by now. But she looks damn fine to me.' He thought to himself.

"You guys carry on. I have to leave now. My presence is required somewhere." Taylor bid his goodbye to the two couples and turned around to leave. The peaceful expression on his face was replaced by anger as he clenched his already fisted hands which were inside his pocket. 'That b***h can't even do one job right.' 

He knew how potent the drug was as it was made by his own people. The amount he gave Rachel to, was enough for Stella to be affected by now. But looking at her relaxed state, he could tell that she didn't have a pinch of it in her system. 

'Looks like I need to step up my game.' An evil grin broke over his face as he got inside his car.

"You alright sweetheart?" Adam asked Stella as she settled down next to him. 

"Yeah. I am just tired." She replied, snuggling against him. 

"You should just sleep then." Adam murmured softly next to her ear, running his fingers through the long locks of her hair. 

They had returned back from the party half an hour ago. After freshening up and changing into their sleepwear, the couple was lying down on the bed. Stella had her head resting on his bare chest, her ear pressed against the toned muscles, right over his heart.

"You should sleep as well. You haven't slept properly since last week. Do you think I won't know about your sneaking out of the room after I have slept?" Stella narrowed her eyes at him.

She had woken up in the middle of the night a few times throughout the last week due to the absence of his warmth. And every single time, she had found him in his study, working on his laptop.

"I knew you were the one peeping inside the study before leaving after sneaking a glance at me." Adam chuckled lightly.

"You knew I was there?" Stella asked him, furrowing her delicate brows.

"Yeah." Adam nodded as his fingers found their way to her face. He moved them over her eyebrows, trying to smoothen the frown. "Why didn't you come inside?" He asked her.

"I didn't want to disturb your work." She replied as rubbed her face over hai chest. 

"You can never disturb me babygirl." Adam added softly as he pressed a kiss on the top of her head. "Sleep now." 

"Don't go sneaking out of the room today. I can't sleep without you." She mumbled softly as a yawn escaped her lips. 

"I won't." Adam heaved out a sigh. If he had known that his absence was disturbing her sleep, he wouldn't have sneaked out all those nights to finish off his pending work. Even though he made sure to make her hug his pillow before leaving, he didn't know her sleep would still be disturbed. He had felt someone peeking inside his study a couple of times and thought that she was just checking on him. 

He pressed another kiss against her forehead before closing his own eyes.

"What did you say?" Taylor roared at the man who was standing before him, clad in an all black dress.

The man didn't even flinch. Being the main informant for him, he was used to this. He kept standing quietly with his head bowed down in respect. 

"Why is he back? Isn't he supposed to hate that life just like his father? Why did he took over the reins?" Taylor was still yelling. 

"You shouldn't have done that Adam Levinson. You shouldn't have." He spoke to no one in particular before an evil laughter escaped his lips.
