I am sorry

Inside the apartment.

Looking around, Sebastian frowned when he saw the messy living room but considering the fact that she had just moved in, he shrugged his OCD thoughts off.

Looking at her boss who was busy observing her apartment, all Ellie could think of was the Sebastian foam mountain that she made in the bathtub and his perfectly round ass that she wanted to spank to punish him.

Though he was wearing his same morning suit, why did he look more handsome?

"Ms Miller, are you okay?"

Taking her intense gaze off him, Ellie awkwardly cleared her throat. "Yes boss, I am fine."

Cursing herself under her breath, she reminded herself she was still mad with him for shouting at her. After convincing herself not to get influenced by his beauty, she was about to ask him something when he did something that shocked her to her soul.

Extending the flowers and the little stuffed donkey towards her, Sebastian said, "This is for you."

Initially he had convinced himself to get flowers, only flowers but his only flower idea got busted when he saw the stuffed creepy looking grinning donkey and for some odd reason, he couldn't take his eyes off it. The strong urge which was building within him to buy it for her kept on intensifying and no matter how hard he tried to take that damn toy out of his head, he couldn't. So he ended up buying it for her.

"T-This is for me?"

Looking at her shocked expression, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anyone else other than us? Do you see anyone else Ms Miller?" When Ellie vigorously shook her head, he added, "So isn't it evident that it's for you?"

Pausing for a while, Sebastian cleared his throat and continued, "What happened today in the morning I—" stopping midway, he took a deep breath and added, "I shouldn't have shouted at you that way. I am very sorry for being rude."

"Boss I—"

Cutting her off, he said, "Patricia told me that you left office early today so I felt bad over what I did. It's your first week so you are bound to make mistakes and I shouldn't have lashed out at you like you in front of everyone. So I wanted to come over and apologize personally." Extending his apology gift toward her, Sebastian added, "I bought you flowers and this—" shaking the soft toy, he continued, "animal. I want you to accept them and come back to work starting tomorrow."

Taking the toy, Ellie caressed it's long ears and smiled, "This is really very cute boss, thank you so much."

"Here, this is for you as well."

A blush crept all over her face when she took the flowers from his hand. "Thank you so much but you shouldn't have taken so much trouble boss."

"It's alright, I wasn't doing anything." But the truth was, he couldn't do anything for the entire day. This was actually the most unproductive day of his entire life. Neither did he attend a single document that needed his signature nor could he concentrate during the meetings. Her absence killed his entire day which was really very strange.

Looking at Ellie who was smiling while hugging the toy and admiring the flowers, Sebastian felt at peace. The uneasiness he was feeling at his heart for the entire day was now replaced with a weird yet pleasant sensation that he had never felt before.
