"Why did you lie to me about where you live?" Adam looked at Stella with confusion. He furrowed his brows thinking when he had done that. Just as he was about to voice out his thoughts, his mind drifted off to the conversation they had when he had dropped her off the first time. He had said it in the spur of moment just to make her agree. He didn't think that she would remember it.
"I-I am sorry." He could only apologize about it now.
"Why did you?" Stella asked him again.
Adam heaved out of a sigh, "I didn't want you going back alone that day."
"That's it?" Stella narrowed her eyes at him.
Adam nodded in response only to make Stella raise an eyebrow. "And why is that?" She asked him again. "Why is it that you didn't want me going back alone?" She continued.
Adam looked away, choosing not to answer her. He couldn't just tell her about his feelings. He was afraid that she would hate him and might even leave the job.
