Trapped In Her Heart

Ellie's apartment.

8:00 am

After patting her hair dry, Ellie tossed the towel aside and quickly rushed towards her wardrobe.

Just then, she received a call from Stewart Corporation informing her that she had been selected for the job and had to report to the office at sharp 9:00 am.

"Please don't be late Ms Miller, our boss doesn't like unpunctual people." Patricia reminded Ellie.

"Ya right, I'll be there before time." Ellie assured and there was no way she would mess things up this time.

"Okay then, I'll be waiting for your arrival."

"Alright." After hanging up the call, Ellie quickly grabbed what she had planned on wearing for her first day at work and started getting ready. She was super excited and nervous at the same time.

After getting ready, Ellie glanced at herself at the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. She was wearing a solid navy blue woven sheath dress which had a boat neck and three quarter sleeves, matched with a pair of black open toe heels. Her hair was parted in the middle and tied in a low ponytail.

Clipping her favourite butterfly diamond earrings which her parents had gifted her when she had graduated, Ellie grabbed the necessary doc.u.ments and left.

...

Sebastian's place.

"Please Sebastian five minutes." Covering her face with a pillow, Ava g.r.o.a.n.e.d. She had been doing this since the last ten minutes which was quite frustrating for the ever punctual Sebastian.

"It's already 8:30 Ava, who stays in the bed so late? Get up and have your breakfast." Sebastian nagged before picking up Ava's clothes which were scattered all over the room. He hated messy people more than unpunctual ones and unfortunately his own sister had both the traits.

"Sebastian I think you gotta chill." Ava shouted. This was the reason why she didn't want to stay with him. He kept nagging and lecturing her about punctuality and being organised.

"Not only that my cute little sister, Sebastian also needs to get laid." Noah commented before crashing on the bed and ruffling Ava's hair.

Ava chuckled and vigorously nodded her head. "That is so true, I think he needs a good release."

Sebastian frowned and snapped, "Watch your words Ava."

Mimicking his voice, Ava repeated, "Watch your words Ava."

Turning towards Ava, Noah asked, "Don't you think that he sounds like your mother sometimes?"

"I know right? He sounds exactly like them. His only advantage and the only reason why a woman may fall for is his handsome face and his well maintained body." Apart from his cold, robotic and unnecessary strict attitude, the only thing that Ava thought would be advantageous for her brother to get a woman for himself was his handsome face. Who wouldn't fall for a young, handsome and rich man right?

Sebastian felt irked when he saw Noah rolling on the bed wearing his business suit. After seeing how his suit was getting crumbled and the thought about him attending office wearing the same one was making him go crazy. Not wanting to be trolled by then again, Sebastian initially decided to keep shut but when Noah rolled over again, he couldn't stop himself. "Do you even realise that you are wearing a business suit? How can you roll on the bed like that?"

Grinning from ear to ear, Sebastian snorted, "Well, I saw that coming already."

"You just saw it coming? I was literally wondering why Sebastian didn't mention it the very first time you rolled over." Ava added.

"Ava, get up and eat your breakfast and Noah, get up, fix your clothes and leave for office."

"Are you mad? It's not even 9 yet. I have to go and fetch Melissa later from the supermarket in fifteen minutes. She is buying groceries and I just came to look for your guys." Noah explained.

"Ahh Mel is here? Where?" Ava excitedly asked. She loved Melissa because she was the only person who helped her stay positive and happy despite being surrounded by boring and irritating people all the time.

"She is planning to invite her best friend for dinner tonight and also you people. She is new here so it would be nice if she makes new friends." Noah said before giving Sebastian a look.

Understanding what Noah was trying to say, Sebastian shook his head. "I am not free."

Noah frowned and retorted, "Oh come on Seb, it's not like you have something important to do and everyone will be there. Even Calvin said he will come."

"Oh Calvin is coming? And what about his hot friend?" Ava asked.

"Who? Owen?" Noah asked.

"Uh Huh."

When Noah nodded his head, Ava grinned and said, "I'll bring June along then."

Noah chuckled and helplessly shook his head. "I thought you already stopped matchmaking."

"Well, you must know my dear brother that I will never stop matchmaking until and unless I feel that nothing is ever going to happen."

Ignoring the two of them, Sebastian buttoned his suit and left the room.

…..

Stewart Corporation.

8:59am

"Oh please tell me that I am on time." Ellie asked Patricia who was arranging a bunch of papers.

Glancing at the watch, Patricia smiled. "Well, you are early by a minute Ms Miller."

Placing her hand on her c.h.e.s.t, Ellie breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank God, you know for a second I thought I am late again but wooooo."

After witnessing how Noah had used all kinds of tricks and mischievous plans to help Ellie get the job, Patricia had been curious to know more about her. "Go to the President's office first and then come down so that we can deal with the contract and other things."

Ellie nodded her head and left after thanking Patricia.
