COLD

Chapter 26 Have we met before?

Stella absentmindedly stared at the man who sat behind the office desk. His noble and dominant aura filled the room.

Stella's eyes wandered from his sword like eyebrows which were on a straight line down to his long nose bridge, she stared at his thin lips for sometime and subconsciously bit her own lips.

Reagan allowed her stare at him for some time before asking, "Do you plan to stare at me all day?"

Stella who had been absentminded, quickly came back to her senses and adverted her gaze as her face turned red from embarrassment.

Stella nervously pinched the bag in her hand as she walked towards Reagan.

" I brought your suit, hope I didn't delay your meeting." Stella said as she brought it out and held it out for him.

Reagan lazily looked at the suit then looked at her again.

" I personally dry-cleaned it and made sure it was clean. It's made of high quality material so I washed it with high quality soap. I like the fabric, it's comfortable and it keeps me warm." Stella said as she traced the suit's sleeve with her fingers.

" You like it?" Reagan asked as his fingers tapped on the table.

" Yes, I like it." Stella smiled.

" Then you can keep it." Reagan replied then looked at the time. Forty minutes until the meeting.

" No, I can't take this, it belongs to you." Stella rejected it. Not that she didn't want it but because it belonged to her boss and if anybody found out, they would make a huge fuss about it.

" You dared to reject what I gave you?" Reagan asked in a deep voice.

Stella became scared." No, I won't reject it anymore, thank you boss." Stella said then took the suit back.

" Put it on." Reagan's deep voice commanded.

Stella looked down as she quietly wore the suit. She didn't know if the boss liked women who talked too much so she decided to stay quiet.

However, Reagan was uncomfortable with her silence so he found a random topic to get her to chat with him.

" What were you doing so late at night in a club yesterday?" Reagan suddenly asked which startled Stella.

" It was a social gathering of our former highschool friends." Stella replied as she recalled what happened the previous night.

" A social gathering, so why did you come out looking so haggard, I could tell you cried alot. Who made you cry?" Reagan asked with seriousness in his tone.

Stella was a little shocked when she heard the seriousness in his voice. "Nobody made me cry." She replied while avoiding his gaze.

Reagan laughed. "So you were crying for no reason?" He asked.

Stella nodded but Reagan didn't believe her.

Stella looked at the man's playful attitude and was shocked. Wasn't this the big boss everybody feared. The one who was marked as someone who didn't smile at people who weren't his relatives, he was the one smiling and laughing at her right now.

Reagan also noticed his behavior and was slightly stunned. "Have we met before?" He suddenly stood up and asked. His tall body made her feel intimidated.

Stella's heart raced as her small face showed confusion allover. "Met before, where?"

Reagan didn't know if he should tell her or not. If he told her she looked like someone he slept with some years ago, what would be her reaction. Would she run away and avoid him.
