My Little Sunshine

Chapter 87: It's Pretty Obvious

"Where do you think you are going Miss?" One of the bouncers stopped Stella as she was about to step inside. "Can I see your membership card?" 

"I don't have one." Stella replied lazily.

"Then I apologise, but you can not go in there without one." The bouncer added with a bored expression on his face. He was a tall man with a dark tone, broad shoulders and a muscular build. He was clad in a black fitted t-shirt and matching jeans as he stood by the entrance with a tired expression on his face. 

"What's your name?" Stella asked him with a bored expression.

"It's Edward, Miss." He replied politely.

"Look Edward, my boyfriend is out of the country. And here I am, missing him, like a lot. I need to have something to drink and also someone to watch over me as I get myself crazy drunk. So, will you please let me go in?" Stella gave him an annoyed look. 

"And my boyfriend is Adam Levinson." She added as she entered the place and directly headed to the elevator. She saw the man coming after her, but the elevator's door closed before he could even get close to her. Stella waved at him with a soft smile through the closing doors when their eyes met.

"Hey!" Stella greeted Blake, who was lost in his own thoughts, as she entered private lounge.

Blake looked at the intruder, his eyes narrowing as his brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?" He asked her as she sat on the couch before him. 

"I was bored, had nothing to do. I thought I could hang out here with Katherine." Stella replied giving him a wide smile. 

The door to the room opened after a single knock. "Boss there's some lady who...." Edward's voice trailed off when he saw the little lady who had run earlier, sitting before his boss.

"What?" Blake gave him a deadpanned look.

"Oh, he must have thought that I was bluffing when I told him that I am Adam's girlfriend." Stella answered Blake.

"Edward, meet Stella. She is indeed Adam's girl, so don't stop her from entering onwards." Blake gave Edward a stern look, who nodded and left the room after saying. "I apologise for earlier Ms. Stella."

"It's alright! You were just doing your job." Stella replied politely, her eyes sat on his retreating back.

"Katherine isn't here at the moment, I will leave her a text that you are here. She will run back in no time." Blake spoke up as he picked up his phone that was lying next to him on the couch. 

After a while a tall fair girl entered the room with a bottle of wine in her one hand while the other one was holding on to the stem of two wine glasses. She was wearing a white blouse that was paired with a black pleated skirt stopping on her mid thigh. She was wearing black high-heeled boots which were complimenting her fair legs. She had an oval shaped face with high cheekbones. The most eye-catching feature she had were her eyes, a pair of dark green eyes, reminding you of a deep dark forest. 

"Here you go Boss." She spoke up, her voice soft and smooth.

"Thanks Lily." Blake gave her a charming smile. "Meet Stella, she's Adam's girlfriend." 

Lily's eyes trailed to Stella who sitting quietly observing the interaction between the two.

"I am Stella." Stella extended her hand towards her with a friendly smile on her face. 

"Hi! I am Lillian." She replied, accepting her extended hand.

After Lillian left the room, Stella looked at Blake as if he has grown a pair of horns on his head.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Blake couldn't stand her gaze and asked her as he poured some wine for her.

"Who's she?" Stella asked him with a curious look on her face.

"She works here." Blake replied, passing her a glass.

"I didn't see her the last time I was here." Stella added, taking a sip of her wine.

"She isn't allowed to serve guests. That's why." Blake replied.

"Oh!" Stella nodded her head. "How long has she worked for you?" She continued with her interrogation.

"Two years. Why do you ask?" Blake gave her a confused look. 'What's with all these questions?' He thought to himself.

"You like her. Don't you?" Stella gave him a smirk.

Hearing to her question which sounded more like a statement, Blake choked on his wine. He ended up coughing profusely while Stella's smirk only widened.

"You could tell that." Blake decided it was useless to lie to the curious cat sitting before him.

Stella nodded her head. "It's pretty obvious." 

"No wonder you and Adam get along so well." He added as he recalled the time when had used the same words. "He did the same, made me choke on my damn wine."

"Why does she seem to oblivious with it then?" He pouted. 

"Have you ever told her that?" Stella replied to him with a question. 

"No! I cannot bring myself to do it. What if she doesn't feel anything for me in return? Even the thought of it scares me." Blake replied to her, staring out of the glass windows.
