Trapped In Her Heart

Inside the office.

Tapping his fingers on the desk, he kept glancing at his watch with a huge frown on his face. "Who is next?"

Looking at the list of interviewees, Noah said, "Ellie Miller."

"Why isn't she in yet?" the man asked.

Noah sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Oh come on Seb, she is just running a minute late. I am sure she will be in any minute and if you are late for your meeting, leave this hiring your assistant thing to me. I'll hire the best one for you."

Glaring at his cousin, Sebastian Stewart narrowed his eyes. "Best? Wasn't the last one that you hired for me also the best? And what happened? Well, I don't think so I have to remind you about that."

Noah frowned and snapped, "Dude, she was hot."

"Why did you hire her anyway? She had worked in a strip club before, wasn't that reason enough for you to chuck her out?" Sebastian asked.

" I told you she was hot and-"

Cutting Noah off, Sebastian added, "She was more horny than hot."

Noah vigorously nodded his head and added, "I know and you were supposed to sleep with her. I was actually helping you get laid man, thank me."

Sebastian was about to say something when someone opened the door.

"I am so-aaaahhhhh." Ellie screamed when she accidentally tripped and landed on the floor. She hit her nose against the floor and her doc.u.ments scattered all over the place.

"Oh God Ellie." Mellisa shouted and rushed towards Ellie.

When Mellisa entered the office, Noah quickly got up and rushed towards them while Sebastian stood rooted where he was with a huge frown on his face.

"El are you fine?" Mellisa asked.

Rubbing her nose which had turned red, Ellie vigorously shook her head. She had just hit her nose against the floor so no, she wasn't fine.

"Why are you always so clumsy? Arrgghh what do I do with you?" Mellisa murmured before helping her up.

Noah picked up all the papers from the ground and placed them inside the file. "Are you fine?"

Ellie reluctantly nodded her head while Mellisa elbowed her boyfriend.

"Huh babe, what happened?" Noah asked.

Inching closer, Mellisa whispered, "I hope you did what I had asked you to."

When Noah slowly nodded his head, Mellisa checked on Ellie for the last time and left after wishing her luck.

"Do you want some ice?" Noah asked.

Ellie shook her head and smiled. "No, I am good."

"Alright, let's start the interview. This way please." Noah guided Ellie towards the desk.

Placing his pen down, Sebastian leaned back on his chair and asked, "You are late by five minutes, what excuse would you like you put forward for being unpunctual."

Leaning towards his weird cousin, Noah whispered, "Dude you just saw, she tripped and landed on her nose right in front of you."

"I am so sorry for running late. Honestly, I didn't wish all of this to happen, I mean who would right? So I set up an early alarm but I don't know what happened. I ended up turning it off and decided to sleep again. Then I realised that I cannot do this so I woke up but ended up falling on my b.u.t.t so yeah, my b.u.t.t was already sore and now my nose feels sore too and then-" Ellie stopped midway Noah gave her a dead signal and placed his fingers in his lips indicating her not to talk so much.

Awkwardly scratching her forehead, Ellie cleared her throat. "Ehh I am sorry for running late, it won't happen again."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Sebastian asked, "Is someone going to deliver your resume on my table?"

Sticking her tongue out, Ellie gave him an awkward smile and quickly fished out her resume from her file.

While Sebastian was busy going through her resume, Ellie couldn't take her eyes off the handsome man sitting right in front of her.

The articles that she had read about Sebastian Stewart being a handsome hunk totally did justice to his beautiful face.

From his beautiful light brown eyes to his perfect jawlines and nose, he looked handsome in every possible profile.

"I see you have an experience of working as an assistant for a software company in Seattle and that is also the last company you have worked in. Why did you decide to leave?" Sebastian asked.

"I always wanted to try something big and different so I decided to shift to L.A and try being independent." Ellie answered.

"So you think moving to L.A and working here is big?" Sebastian asked.

"I am sorry, don't you think this company is big? And-" Ellie widened her eyes in shock and vigorously shook her head, "No no I mean, I know this company is big."

Slapping his forehead, Noah helplessly shook his head.

Staring at Ellie for quite some time, Sebastian said, "Alright, you can leave."

"What? That's it?" Ellie asked.

Sebastian raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want me to ask you more questions?"

Ellie vigorously shook her head and quickly rushed out of the office.

"Isn't she good? I mean look at her, she is beautiful, smart, looks intelligent and-"

Cutting Noah off, Sebastian said, "Chuck her out and hire the man whom we had interviewed before her."

Noah widened his eyes in shock and asked, "You are kidding me right?"

"Unpunctual, clumsy, carefree and a big mouth. Almost everything that I don't like." After pointing out Ellie's flaws, Sebastian got up and left for his scheduled meeting.

After Sebastian left, Noah frowned and kept on staring at the interviewees list.

After a few seconds, his lips curled upwards when something struck him. Fishing his phone out, Noah patted his own shoulder and proudly exclaimed, "God Noah Stewart, you are a f.u.c.k.i.n.g genius."
