Is it necessary?

Looking around, Ellie breathed a sigh of relief when she did not see her bra that she had tossed on the floor before entering the washroom to take a long bubble bath.

"I am sorry, my room is a bit messy and—" she stopped mid-way when she noticed him staring at her.

When her gaze met his intense one, Ellie's heart skipped her beat. The way he was looking at her made her feel shy and giddy. She was already having a really hard time taking his charm off her head and his staring activities weren't helping.

Sebastian on the other hand was completely mesmerized by her undefinable beauty. Though he had very little or may be no experience with women but he could still say that Ellie was different. She wasn't like those horny and sexy assistants Noah had hired for him in the past.

No, she was sexy too but in a very good way and Sebastian happened to love that way.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear when Ellie bit her lower lip, he gulped in nervousness. Not only did his throat feel dry but he was also feeling very pleasurably uncomfortable.

Resisting the strange and strong urge to caress her lips, he took a deep breath and reluctantly turned around.

"Where should I keep these?" Sebastian asked before picking up the books.

"Hmm why don't you just keep it there and I'll arrange them later."

"So by later, do you mean after a few hours or after a few weeks?" Sebastian asked.

"After we finish dealing with those boxes."

"Okay." Glancing at his watch, he added, "We should be done in a couple of hours."

"Do you really have to time everything?" Ellie asked.

When Sebastian did not say anything, she added, "I mean why do you have to time yourself like that? Is it necessary?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he said, "Because that is who I am and how I live. I have always been punctual and I like when things happen according to my plan."

"You are human being Sebas—I mean boss, you are human being and not an alarm clock. Like I know being punctual is important and it is a good thing and maybe I'll never understand the importance of it because I suck at time management and being punctual but I do understand that one shouldn't live like you do." Without waiting for his reply, she added, "We are supposed to follow the clock not live like a clock."

"Ms Miller—"

Cutting him off, Ellie added, "Maybe you were super pissed when I made changes in your schedule this morning but whatever I did was to help you step out of your irritating life and have a little fun like your friends do. My intentions were pure but if you think that I overstepped my boundaries then I am sorry and I know you are also sorry for lashing out at me but I had to say this okay? It's not like I am still mad you but—"

She stopped mid-way when Sebastian walked out of the room without saying anything.
