Stella woke up late the next morning. She got out of the bed lazily scratching the back of her head. She glanced at the peach colored wall clock stretching out her arms, but her arms stopped midair when she realized the time. It was over ten o'clock already.
"Shit!." Cursing herself she left the room, running out in her disheveled state. As soon as she made it out of the door, she ran into something hard. She looked up and saw a pair of gray eyes looking at her, filled with playfulness.
"Where are you running to?" Adam asked her, raising a brow in the process.
"Office. Late." She said taking in deep breaths and rubbing down her nose to ease the pain.
"You needed some rest, so I called in for a day off for you. Don't worry." Adam gave her a polite smile.
"Thank you so much." Stella replied. "By the way, why aren't you in office?" She was confused about why he was still here.
