Trapped In Her Heart

…..

Sebastian's office.

Faking a sigh, Noah helplessly shook his head. "Oh my, now what do we do? With all the resumes gone and only this one left," Pushing Ellie's resume towards Sebastian, Noah added, "we really don't have any other choice."

"Do you think I don't know what you are trying to do? Do you think I am dumb?" Sebastian asked.

Noah widened his eyes in shock and asked, "When did I say that you dumb? Well, it's evidently your fault but yet you are shoving it on me." Pausing for a while, Sebastian added, "Look I know it's very rare for you to make mistakes. In fact, I don't even remember when was the last time you made such a silly mistake but it's alright, we all are humans and we are born to make mistakes okay? It's normal but if it's such a big deal for you then I am willing to take the blame."

Placing his hand on his c.h.e.s.t, Noah sighed, "Yes it was me who placed the resumes in the stack, yes it was me who did everything. In fact, I did all of this to force you to hire Ellie. It's all my fault and I am sorry. Okay, so do you feel better now?"

Resisting the strong urge that was building within him to strangle Noah to death, Sebastian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"So what do you think? I think you should just hire Ellie Miller. Not just me but I think even the shredding machine wants you to hire her." Shoving the resume further towards Sebastian, Noah pouted his lips.

Going through the resume once again, Sebastian tossed it aside and called Patricia.

Ellie's apartment.

"Yes mom, I am perfectly alright. I met Mel and Noah in the morning. I gave my interview and I am still waiting for their call."

"Your dad and I are missing you a lot honey. In fact, your dad made all your favourites today for dinner." Ellie's mother, Judith Miller said.

Ellie sighed and g.r.o.a.n.e.d in frustration. "How mean mom, how can you both do this to me?"

Judith chuckled and teased her daughter. "Weren't you the one who wanted to move out? Now you don't get to complain."

"You two should be proud of me. I am all grown up and I am also willing to pay my own bills and not trouble you both. So can't you please make things less difficult for me by not talking about good food?" Ellie requested.

"Hey, it's not like you don't know how to cook. Why don't you make something good and treat yourself?" Judith asked.

"Who will take all the trouble and cook something great when I am the only one eating it? I would rather laze around and grab an instant noodle pack when I am hungry." Ellie was undoubtedly very lazy when she knew she could afford to laze around and not do anything. Since she currently had nothing to do, Ellie had decided to just sleep all day.

Judith chuckled and asked, "Do you know what I did when I started living alone?"

"What did you do?"

"Well, even I always felt lazy and never cooked for myself so I found myself someone who would cook for me and also do the chores without complaining." Judith answered.

Ellie smiled and asked, "You found dad didn't you?"

Judith smiled and nodded her head, "Oh yes honey I did. I found my Harry and I hope you'll find yours too."

"Oh God mom let's not get into that topic again okay? I gotta settle things here so I'll video call you and dad tonight. Have a great dinner and miss me. I love you."

"I love you too darling, take care and don't forget that you moved out but we are still a family and your parents will always be with you through thick and thin."

Ellie smiled and nodded her head. "I know mom, bye."
