Till We Meet Again | The Ceo's Absent Lover

23 | MY TASTE

Bella ran out of the elevator looking apple red. She could not believe that she said that out loud and on top of that Adane heard her. 'His smile is so compelling, I wanted to kiss them. Wanted those lips to explore my body.'

Bella went back to the receptionist desk then remembered that she was here to make a contract and talk about her children. Her heart started beating at the thought of seeing Adane again.

Bella calmed herself down and entered the elevator again.

On the top floor of the AB building Adane sat in his office with a smile on his lips. He heard a knock.

"Come in." He commanded.

Stephan entered Adane's office. He was stunned again. 'It has already been a day since he saw those boys, why is he still smiling?' Stephan asked himself. "Sir you have a meeting in five minutes with vice president on the AHM Company." Stephan was now dumbfounded, the smile on Adane's lips was brighter. Stephan cleared his throat, "Sir, I haven't received enough information on the two boys as yet and the lady we saw at the mall. I'm sorry." He held his head down.

Adane waved his right hand. "No need to hurry, I gave you a week. When the vice president of AMH arrives, tell her to come in. The meeting should start immediately." Adane wanted to she that little lady again. He had been longing for her for years. Now that Bella was back, Adane was planning on making her his. 

As Adane finished his sentence there was another knock at the door.

"Come in." He answered.

The office door opened and Bella entered in a red dress that outlined her figure and a folder was in her hand.

The moment she entered, Stephan turned to face her. He bit his lower lip checking out Bella's body. 'Damn, that's a solid ten. After this i might just shoot my shot, that body, so damn thick.'

Bella saw Stephan scanning her body. "Sir is there something wrong with my dress?"

Bella asked this question and Adane was glaring at Stephan with the intention to rip his head off his body. "Mr Homes, leave." One could hear the anger in Adane's tone. He then turned to Bella and softened his voice, "I'm truly sorry about that miss Cain."

Stephan was speechless, 'Did my boss just apologize? Ain't no way. His voice also changed.  Wait! What! Miss Cain, Annabella Cain! God what have I done? I just dug my grave.' "I apologize Miss Cain," Stephan bowed and exit Adane's office. He was soaking in his sweat. The picture of him dying replayed in his head.

...

"You may have a seat." Adane motioned Bella to a comfy seat before his desk.

"Thank you." Bella sat and opened the folder. "This is the contract from AHM. Our company has the best designs in the clothing industry and..." Bella sold the AHM Company to the best of her ability and talked about the contract.

Adane briefly read through the contract then signed it on the last page. After signing, he handed it back to Bella.

Bella smiled, she did well. The AHM Company was now partner with the AB Company.

"Before I leave, is it possible for Mr. Crawford to have lunch with me today?"

Adane hid the smile on his face. He was going to ask Bella that exact question. She beat him to it. "It depends on where and the type of restaurant, can Miss Cain afford my taste?"
