CH 146 ~ Barbequed House

Alex's Pov~ 

When the meeting ended, it was already midnight and Neil started to sort out the shattered documents on the table. 

She should have been asleep by now,

I thought as I loosened my necktie a little and then she appeared before me all of a sudden. 

"Professor A" 

My voice came out with a hint of coldness, and she fidgets the file in her hands. 

"I am sorry,"

Stella spoke as her gaze was locked on the floor beneath as and continued. 

"I didn't notice her as I was too excited to share the news of our progress with you."

"No one, especially she wasn't supposed to be the one to know about me...but-"

She paused as she didn't know how to explain herself and I lightly pressed on her shoulder as a pat.
