Lumma held a grudge, upset at being called a silly girl twice.
Adam chuckled. “If not a silly girl, what should I call you? Little smarty?”
Lumma was speechless.
Adam added, “You are smart, so you should believe in your capabilities. Hills Group doesn’t carry any freeloaders.
The fact that you’ve climbed to your current position with your own hard work is proof enough of how outstanding
you are. Don’t doubt yourself because of anyone, including me. Understand?”
“I understand.” Adam was right. If Lumma didn’t believe in her own abilities, she wouldn’t have the audacity to ask

After more than half an hour’s drive, they arrived at the dining destination for the evening.

Seeing Adam and Lumma out dining so late, Simon’s curiosity was instantly piqued. “Adam, Lumma, you two…”
The woman by Simon’s side was starstruck upon seeing Adam. “Mr. Mills, introduce your friend, will you?”
Simon pinched the woman’s face. “Babe, he’s not someone you can get to know. Don’t fantasize.”
The woman stomped her foot in a cute manner. “I just want to get to know your friends.”
Simon didn’t compromise. “You’re already punching above your weight with me, and you still want to meet my
friends. You can leave now. I have company for dinner tonight, so I don’t need you.”
“Mr. Mills…” The woman tried to get closer to Simon, but he pushed her away. “I said leave, didn’t you hear?”

Once she left, Simon had no reservations. “Adam, Lumma, are you two on a date behind your spouses’ backs?”

What did it mean to speak few but stern words?
Adam was the epitome of that. His strength lay in his ability to create the greatest deterrent with
the fewest words.
Simon knew the deterrent power of Adam’s words and instantly backed down. “I was just joking. You guys don’t
need to take it seriously.”
“A joke is only a joke if both parties find it funny. You are disrespecting people. We came here to have dinner
together, and you can’t assume they have something to hide just because you saw them first.” Ruby, who had
arrived a bit later, got out of the car just in time to hear Simon teasing Lumma. Normally, Ruby was straight-

Simon asked, “Where did this wild girl come from?”
Ruby argued, “Say ‘wild girl’ one more time, believe it or not, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
