Adrian was perplexed and infuriated to see Alex, his current business rival and former high school classmate standing beside Stella.
Alex was holding and talking to Stella as though she was his girlfriend.
This scene troubled Adrian greatly. He was aware of Alex's charm around the female folks and he was worried that Stella would fall for Alex.
"Hey Stella," Adrian plastered a smile on his face. He didn't want to frighten her with his initial scowls."I never knew you were such a great dancer."
Before Stella could reply, she found her self been pulled into Adrian arm.
The way Adrian hugged her tenderly took Stella by surprise. They were friends neither were they lovers. Yet Adrian was acting as thou they had been friends for over a decade.
Even though Stella enjoyed the brief warm hug, she pushed Adrian away, her eyes shooting dagger at him.
