My Little Sunshine

Chapter 30: She's The One

Half an hour later a car pulled up in the driveway, making the old butler come out to greet his Young Master. But he was rooted to his spot just outside the entrance watching the scene unfold before his eyes. Just as his master came out, the passenger door opened and a young girl stepped out. The old butler forgot to even pay his greetings looking at them with his eyes widened.

"Uncle Rob!" Adam's voice brought him back, out of his shocked state.

"Young Master." He dipped his head down a bit in respect.

"Can you make arrangements for her stay? She will be staying here for a couple of days." Adam spoke, leaning lazily against the side of his car.

The old butler was once again at a loss. He didn't know what to say. His mind drifted to the conversation he had had with his Young Master earlier in the day. 'Is she the same girl his master was talking about?'

"Use the guest room on the first floor." Not getting a reply from him, Adam spoke again. 'The old man must be at a loss for words.' He thought.

The old butler only nodded. 

"And ask someone to take out the luggage and place it in the room." Adam continued.

"It will take around twenty minutes to get the room ready." The old man finally spoke up. "Should I ask a maid to fix up some dinner for you?" He added. 

"Yes. We haven't had dinner yet. But ask them to make something light." Adam replied nodding his head. 

All the while Stella was standing quietly next to him, looking at the grand house before her. To say it was a house, was an understatement. It was no less than a mansion. She was awestruck, not by the prodigious place but it's resplendency. 

"Let's go inside." Adam's voice brought her out of her thoughts and she only nodded in response.

"Oh! I apologize for not introducing you guys to each other." He said smacking his palm against his own forehead lightly. "Stella, meet the old butler of the place. You can just call him Uncle Rob." He said pointing at the old butler.

"And meet Stella. She's my new assistant." Adam said to the old butler who nodded at the little lady, "Ms. Stella! It's a pleasure to meet you." 

"Please, just call me Stella." She said nodding back at him.

"Let's go inside now, I am starving." Adam spoke up. 

As they were going inside, Adam stopped next to the old butler, patting his shoulder lightly. "Whatever you are thinking is true. She's the one." He winked at the butler, making sure to keep his voice low. 

The old butler's eyes widened, at his Young Master's reply to his unasked question.

Adam and Stella made their way to the living room and sat down. Adam leaned against the sofa closing his eyes.

"Adam?" Stella's voice made him open them again. "Yes Stella?" He replied, now looking at her.

"Thank you." She said with a smile on her lips. 

"What are you thanking me for, silly girl?" Adam asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me so far." She replied.

Adam rolled his eyes, "Thank me one more time and I will forget that I even know you." 

"Relax! I won't again." She said with a pout, making Adam smile.

"I would love to give you a tour of the place but it's already late and you must be tired so you can tour the place tomorrow and get yourself acknowledged with it." Adam said to her.

Stella nodded her head in response. It was better to get to know the place since she will be living here for a couple of days.

"You have a beautiful place." Stella broke the silence.

"Yeah!" Adam gave her a vague reply.

"Don't tell me that you don't like it?" Stella couldn't help but ask. 

'It's not that I don't like the place, it just gets lonely here.' He wanted to say it out loud but chose not to.

"I would love to have a place like this." Stella spoke up again.

"You can have this one. I will give it to you for free." Adam replied with seriousness.

Stella took his reply as a joke and laughed it off. "You are funny sometimes."

'What are you laughing for? I am serious, girl. All you need to do is ask and this place will be yours, of course, including the owner as well.' He thought looking at her intently.

The harmonious environment of the living room was interrupted by the old butler. "Dinner is served." He said, clearing his throat.

Adam nodded and got up, heading to the dining room with Stella following him closely.
