Trapped In Her Heart

"Dude will you tell me what is going between you and El?" 

"Nothing."

Raising his brows, Noah said, "Uh huh sure, I can see that literally nothing is going on between you both."

When Noah gave him a weird look, Sebastian shrugged his shoulders and brushed him off. "I just happen to have some free time and she also happens to be free so we spend some time together watching movies or going out for dinners."

"Ahh yes that is normal," Shrugging his shoulders, Noah added, "I mean all bosses go hang out with their employees. It's a universal thing."

Sebastian sighed and helplessly shook. He did not miss the sarcasm in Noah's sentence. Even though he knew that this wasn't something that a boss and an employee would do but he couldn't help it, he liked spending time with her.

"You know when Mel and I started spending time like you both, we got into a relationship." When Sebastian frowned at him, Noah added, "Just saying."

"It's nothing like that, Ms Miller are just good friends." 

Tapping his fingers on the desk, Noah smiled, "Dude, when did you start being friends with your assistants? I mean didn't you repel them in the past? I hired hundreds of hot and horny assistant's for you but no, you won't even look at them." 

Without waiting for his reply, Noah got up and patted Sebastian shoulder, "But I understand that Ellie is different." Glancing at his watch, Noah added, "Ah it's time for Melissa's morning shoulder massage so I gotta go. I'll see you on Monday."

"Take care of Ava when I am away and make sure that she eats properly." 

"Uh huh okay, I'll ask her to come over and stay with us." 

After Noah left, Sebastian thought for a while before walking out of his office.

….

Ellie's office.

Ellie was busy reviewing the doc.u.ment when Sebastian came in.

"Ms Miller—"

Cutting him off, he said, "I am almost done boss, the doc.u.ment will be there on your table in five."

"Hmm okay but I am not here for the doc.u.ments," when Ellie looked at him, he added, "I need to talk to you about something."

She widened her eyes in shock and panicked, "What did I do? Was there some mistake in the report? Is your schedule not right? Did I not arrange the doc.u.ments correctly? Oh my God please dont fire me."

"Hey hey, relax okay it's nothing like that." 

"So you are not firing me right?" When Sebastian shook his head, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank God, you scared me boss. What do you wanna talk about then?"

"We need to go on a business trip."

"Business trip? Oh okay but when?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "And for how many days? Because you see I need to pack and settle down everything in my apartment." 

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he said, "Oh you don't have to worry because it's a small trip just over the weekend. We will leave on Friday and then fly back on Sunday." 

Ellie smiled and nodded her head, "That is even more convenient so when do we leave? Next Friday?" 

Awkwardly clearing his throat, he said, "This Friday."

She frowned and asked, "Huh? This Friday as in today?"

Vigorously nodding his head, he glanced at his watch, "Hmm and we have to leave in an hour."

Widening her eyes in shock, she shouted, "WHAT? Today? In an hour? And you are telling me about it now boss?" Without waiting for his reply, she added, "I have nothing packed and ready. The doc.u.ments that we need to take aren't ready and the—"

Placing his hand on her shoulder, Sebastian tried to calm her down, "Hey, relax okay? Don't panic, we still have an hour in hand—"

"Only an hour boss, what do expect me to do in an hour? Why didn't you tell me about it earlier? We are like together all the time, boss but you never mentioned anything about the trip." 

"It's alright, okay why don't we do something? You go home and pack whatever you need and I'll pack the required doc.u.ments. After I am done, I'll pick you up and then we can go to the airport." Sebastian suggested.

"But how can I let you do my work? I'll just quickly arrange the doc.u.ments and then—"

"Hmm we will get late that way, umm I don't mind waiting for you but I guess the flight wouldn't wait for us." 

Massaging her forehead, Ellie sighed, "Alright then, I'll go home and pack a few things."

"Don't rush okay and be careful on the—" stopping midway, he frowned. How could he expect her to be careful? Ellie was so clumsy that she would definitely end up tripping hurting herself.

"Forget it, I'll ask the driver to drop you home." Taking out his phone, Sebastian called the driver and asked him to get the car ready.

"I can take a cab and—"

Cutting her off, he said, "It's alright, he is already waiting for you downstairs."

Grabbing her bag, Ellie nodded her head and left.

….

Ellie's apartment.

As soon she entered the apartment, she rushed towards her room before tossing the bag on the couch.

Taking out her mini trolley bag, Ellie opened it on the bed and started collecting everything that she needed.

"Okay Ellie, make sure you don't miss anything," she murmured before walking into the washroom and grabbing her toiletries followed by her skin cream and her make up box. 

Placing them inside the bag, she rushed towards her wardrobe and randomly grabbed a pair of black jeans, her comfy night dress and a formal black skirt.

Folding them neatly, she stacked them on the bed before walking back to the wardrobe to grab a blouse which would go with the skirt and a couple of casual t-shirts. 

Thinking for quite some time, she pulled out a white blouse and two random t-shirts. Just then her phone started ringing. 

Thinking that it's Sebastian, she quickly rushed out of the room. 

….

Living room.

Placing the blouse and t-shirt on the couch, Ellie took out her phone from her handbag. She sighed when she saw that it was Melissa and not Sebastian.

"Wuhu, a little birdie told me that someone is going on a business trip." 

"Uh huh well, birdie Noah gave you the right information and—oh damn, boss is calling. I gotta go Mel, I'll call you later." After hanging up the call, she grabbed her hand bag and rushed inside.

She then shoved the clothes which were stacked on the bed, closed the zip of the bag and rushed out of the apartment.
