Chapter 188 - How To Cut A Diamond?(2)

Stella was enjoying her cheese balls as she looked at the scene unfolding before her eyes from a distance. She couldn't hear their conversation but it wasn't hard to tell by their expressions that Katherine was giving Adam a hard time. 

She giggled, covering her mouth with the back of her free hand. She asked the waiter to add some more cheese balls in her plate. 'Damn! Why does these cheese balls tastes so good?' She stuffed another one in her mouth. Before her fork could reach for another one, a voice interrupted her. 

"You sure are a fan of cheese." 

She turned her head slightly to her left and found a man standing there. He was dressed in a black three piece suit with a pair of matching boots. An off-white folded handkerchief was neatly placed in his coat's pocket. 

"And you don't look like a fan of cheese." Stela replied before shifting her attention back to the mouth-watering delicacy in her plate. 

The man chuckled and took a step towards her. He picked up a fork from the table and went for one of the cheese balls on her plate. 

"When did I say that?" He muttered, giving her a smirk. 

"I think you should leave, Mister. It's rude to disturb others, especially when they don't know you." She added before turning her attention back towards the table where Adam was sitting. She could see him burning with rage as he bore his eyes into the man. 

"Weren't you trying to make him jealous, Ms. Stella?" The man added, giving her a smile. "I could help you with that." 

Stella gaped at him, her eyes popping out of their sockets and her jaw hanging low. "H-how do you know that? And how do you know my name? I am sure that we are meeting for the first time." She mustered up her courage. 

"You don't need to worry about me, I won't harm you." He gave her a genuine smile. "Let's just say that we have a mutual friend. And I would love to help you with executing your plan." 

"How do I know you aren't some crazy stalker?" Stella gave him a doubtful look. 

"I know whom I shouldn't mess with and Mr. Levinson definitely tops my list. Moreover, I am not even interested in girls." He replied as he picked up another cheese ball with his fork before shoving it inside his mouth. 

"Y-you are … g-g-ay?" She added while stuttering, a faint blush spreading through her cheeks. 

The man let out a throaty laugh. "Umm… more like bisexual. But I do have a male partner these days, and you know him." 

"I know him?" She gave him a questioning look to which he nodded. Her mind went into overdrive as she thought about who it might be. There were many males she was acquainted with. 'Scott and Blake can't be bisexual, moreover they are already with someone. Who else it could be then? Who else do I know? Waittttt...' 

"Does his name starts with a 'W'? And he is a doctor?" She narrowed her eyes at him only to get another nod from him. 

Her eyes widened in shock as she tried to get her thoughts straight. 

He flicked his fingers before her eyes to get her out of her shocked state. "He is bisexual like me too. We met each other last year for the first time. I thought it might be our last as well, but fate had something else for us. We met again a few days back when you guys were in Greece. And we kinda … clicked." 

"So…. You guys are like a thing now?" Stella asked him softly, making sure to keep her voice low. 

"Yeah!" He answered her honestly as he scratched the back of his head.

"Awww! Are you blushing? That's so cute." Stella jumped a little in excitement, regretting it the very next moment. A faint pain in her right leg caused her to wince a little. 

Seeing her distorted expressions, the man became worried and looked at her right foot which wasn't properly placed on the floor. He shook his head and went down on his knee. "Hold on to the counter for support." He asked her before grabbing her foot and taking off her wedge sandal off her foot. 

Stella yelped in surprise at his actions but still to him.

Adam who was watching this form the distance had a threatening look on his face, while Katherine and Scott had a smirk adorning on their faces. According to them, he deserved this. 

"Hey! What are you doing?" Stella asked him as she couldn't comprehend his actions. 

"It will hurt a little." He murmured softly making her confused. 

He grabbed her ankle and twisted it at an angle, causing a stinging pain in her ankle. "I'm sorry." The man apologized to her before putting her sandal back on her foot. "Wait for a minute." He muttered as he stood up, straightening his coat.

Slowly, the pain in her foot, began to subside. She tried moving it when the pain died down. To her surprise, she could move it in all directions without flinching. She looked up at him in surprise. "What did you do?" 

"I used to sprain my ankle a lot while I was learning kickboxing, so I learned this little trick. Don't try this yourself, you may end up making the pain worse." He replied to her. 

"I didn't get your name, if you don't mind." Stella asked him. 

"Blythe, Blythe Jameson. At your service." He added with a dramatic small bow, making her giggle. 

"Is he still looking here?" He asked her.

Stella was at a loss for words when she heard him. She frowned in confusion but soon realized what did he mean by his question. She bobbed her head up and down. "More like glaring daggers at your back." 

Blythe chuckled at her answer. "If he comes after me, don't forget to save this humble man." 

"He knows you, doesn't he? Her sudden remark was more of a statement. It was only then she realized that he has been standing in a way all this while that his back was facing towards the table Adam was sitting at. 

"Don't worry. I have got your back." She added sarcastically, making him shake his head at her idea of sarcasm.

"Isn't it time to deliver the final blow?" Blythe asked her, making her eyes glint with mischief. 

She extended her hand towards him while pointing towards the stage where only a few couples were dancing to the soft melody that the band was playing. "Shall we?" She asked him with a bright smile, making sure that Adam could see her hand and smiling face. 

Blythe took hold of her hand and guided her to the stage like a true gentleman. All this while he made sure to keep looking at Stella so that Adam couldn't see his face, or else the game would be over. Once they were in the center of the stage, he twirled her around once while turning himself around so that his back was facing Adam. He caught her in his arms but made sure to keep a distance between them. 

Wilson had told him about her a couple of times. He adored her like her own sister. As for him, he had nothing but respect for her. Even though she was just Adam's secretary, her business sense was way too good for someone of her age.
