Scar realized she had left her purse in Seb's office and wanted to avoid him for a little while. She decided to go back to his office to search for her purse, hoping it was still there.As Scar entered the office, she spotted her purse on the couch and felt a wave of relief wash over her. She quickly grabbed it and made her way out.Just as she left, Michelle emerged from another room in the office, wearing a knowing smile. "Time to go, bitch," she whispered, flipping her blonde hair and walking away.She was so determined to chase Scar out of the company and that was exactly what she would do.No matter what.Sebastian soon arrived at the company and into his office. Surprisingly, he was in a good mood because, a certain someone had decided to surprise him with a gift.As he walked into his office, his eyes darted straight to his desk, where a small box sat, resembling the perfect size for a watch. His always stoic face broke out in a smile, a soft smile at that. With anticipation f
Sebastian was absolutely furious. I mean, you could practically see the steam coming out of his ears just by looking at his darkened expression.He had his eyes fixed on Scarlett. Actually, scratch that, he was straight-up glaring at her.If looks could kill, she'd probably be six feet under by now."Come closer, Miss Oslon," he commanded, his voice so low and authoritative.She wanted to resist or maybe show some stubbornness.But she knew better than to do that.Scarlett's heart raced as she found herself inexplicably drawn closer to Sebastian. Michelle, who had been standing in the corner, wore a sly smile that only Scarlett could see. Feeling a sudden urge to break the tension, Scarlett coughed awkwardly and greeted Sebastian. However, before she could utter a word, he silenced her with a swift gesture, extending his hand as if to command her to stop talking. Scarlett obediently clamped her mouth shut, her curiosity mounting.Sebastian's piercing gaze locked onto her. "Were you r
Everyone casted a look of disdain on Scar. No one had expected her to actually steal the watch —as they thought.Seb smiled softly, his eyes frozen over again.He looked at her teary face and sighed.One thing he hated most, was theft. No one steals from Sebastian Ashford and goes unscathed.Right now, he wanted to believe that the last thing she could do, was steal. But with all the damn evidence pointing to her, he didn’t know what to believe anymore.“Why did you steal it?“ he asked and she glared at him.“I know you must already despise me, but to think I stole from you?“ she scoffed, “in your dreams”And her sharp tongue was still intact.“A watch was pulled out of your purse, and you still have the right to scold our boss? Pathetic bitch” Michelle was the one who spoke up and Scar raised a brow.“You said a watch, Not His watch” she corrected angrily, “And I’m very sure that the boss isn’t blind enough to notice that this watch right here” she gestured to the watch in his left h
After Scarlett wrapped up her explanation, everybody gasped and murmurs broke out. "I can't believe this." One girl said."Michelle stooped low." another said."And she acts so high and mighty." another scoffed.All the comments being thrown around somehow got to Michelle and she exploded in anger, "Enough! I've had enough of your stupid comments, how dare you say that about me huh? So what if I tried to sabotage Scarlett, what's it to all of you, moreover, she doesn't deserve to work here!"Everyone fell silent looking at her with dismay, she sauntered forward heading towards Scarlett with a murderous look but was stopped by Sebastian before she could reach her, "Not another step." He snarled, his teeth gritted and eyes filled with rage."You have extremely disappointed me, I expected better from you Michelle." He shook his head at her and motioned for the guards to come over. "Empty her desk and take her out of my sight.""Of course sir." The two guards chorused and went to first cl
Ding! Ding! Ding! Scar’s alarm went off, waking her up at the ungodly hour of 6 am but she was thankful for it or else she would have overslept as she went to bed at 3 am. 'Stupid clock'She woke up with a yawn and stretched her libs to their full size then got out of bed.She sleepily sauntered to the bathroom with her eyes half open, her greatest advantage was that she knew the room inside out and there was no way she could bump into anything, hit the wall or anything like that.After taking a cold shower to awaken her senses, she headed to her closet to get what she'd wear for the day.After struggling a bit, she settled on a white blouse with black polka dots and a plain black pencil skirt that hugged her curves perfectly. Not being a lover of makeup, Scar put on some light blush, eyeliner, mascara with a touch of lipgloss and tied her hair in a neat perfect bun.She gazed at her appearance in the mirror and was satisfied with what she saw. "Good"She proceeded to quickly clean
Scar returned to work that afternoon with an enormous smile on her face, she could finally show Sebastian that she was a capable woman and deserved that job.Nothing was going to ruin her mood today, she was damn sure of that. When she reached AV, she immediately went to see him— Seb— with the good news.'It’s time to face slap my boss!'When she reached his door, she knocked and waited for his approval. "Come in, " His voice rang from inside, she opened the door and entered his office.Seb glanced up and he saw her approaching him. For some weird reason, he was filled with warmth and his mood instantly improved.Ok what the heck?!"Yes, Miss Oslon, What do you need because I don't remember calling you to my office." he sounded off coldly.She didn't take any offense in his tone and smiled at him even more, "You gave me a little task I had to fulfill if I'm not mistaken, and I came to give you a report on it."He glanced at her wondering what she wanted to report, did she decide to g
Chapter 22.They reached their designated location, it was a lavish five-star Italian restaurant called Antonios.The restaurant was new, only a few months old but had made a lot of impact that many influential people would always come to eat there.Skye walked to her side and opened Scar's door, holding his hand out for her to take, which she did, "What a gentleman." She commented with a giggle."Why thank you milady, " He did a small bow grinning from ear to ear.'How cute'He led her inside, the whole restaurant was grandiloquent and elegant. The place was buzzing with many sophisticated people, they carried themselves with so much grace and poise, Scar felt a bit out of place and uncomfortable.'I’ve never seen such luxury in my life'Skye seemed to have prepared everything to Scar's liking because their reserved table was far from the crowd of people, beside an enormous glass window that depicted the beautiful city lights.'Thank goodness'"Wow, " she gasped, "This is truly a si
Upon hearing footsteps approaching, the tied girl raised her head and was met with a sight of two men, one was familiar and the other she couldn't recognize.A while back Lucas had tried talking to her but she was resilient and kept her mouth shut, not saying a word or disclosing any information."I hope you're ready to talk little lady," Lucas asked her as they both got closer. As per usual she just blankly stared at them and didn't say a word.Seb went forward and crouched down, staring straight at her with a straight face, "Unlike my brother there I'm not so nice, meaning when I ask you something, you answer me, I hate defiance." he menacingly sneered.She blankly glanced at him, then turned her head from him. This little act pissed him off, Seb roughly held her chin, forcing her to face him, "Never look away when I'm talking, understood?"She was still silent, this fueled Seb's anger even more. He roughly let her chin go and abruptly got up, "Tell Lorenzo to bring me what I need
