Soft yet hard

Melissa and Naoh's place.

"Honey, do you think we made a mistake?"

Caressing her back, Noajh asked, "What are you talking about babe?"

"I am talking about El, do you think we shouldn't have helped her get this job? I mean as Sebastian's assistant."

"But why?"

"I just feel very sad for her after what happened today. Sebastian is really too much at times and I feel very sorry for El because I was the one who told her about the vacancy. It feels like I kicked my best friend off the cliff."

Noah nodded his ehsd and sighed, "Sebastian is tough at times but he isn't bad you know. He is very good at heart but he has this very serious problem over expressing himself. So he may look super cold from outside but he actually isn't. I grew up with him so I know how he exactly is but others won't see what Ava and I do."

Drawing circles on his chest, she sighed, "I am not saying that he is bad but he is just too much at times."

Pressing his lips on the top of her head, he nodded his head, "I know what you are talking about babe but you need to see things through Sebastian's perspective as well. That man has been following a particular thing for years now so how is he supposed to feel if someone just steps forward and starts messing up everything without his consent? Look I know what Ellie wanted to do was great and I really appreciate it but Seb is different, he isn't like you or me."

"Hmm I guess you are right, maybe I'll just ask Ellie not to bother with him and just do her work. By the way Mr Stewart, did I ever tell you how hot you look when you are serious?" Brushing her fingers against his torso, Melissa smiled.

Pinning her down, Noah grinned, "Oh no you didn't."

Hooking her arms around his neck, she added, "Hmmm, so did I tell you how hot you were looking during the afternoon meeting today? I literally had to stop myself from pouncing onto you in front of so many employees."

"Don't resist now babe, I am all yours." Noah said before pressing their lips together.

…..

Ellie's apartment.

Kitchen.

After pouring a glass of water for her boss, Ellie rubbed her stomach and sighed. She was hungry again and was craving for some cookies.

Looking around, her eyes brightened up when she saw a jar of her favourite cookie in the top-most shelf.

Taking off her slippers, she tried to climb on the counter but failed. Dragging a nearby stool, stepped on it before stepping on the slippery marble counter.

As soon as she grabbed her jar, she excitedly turned around only to slip off the counter.

Hugging the cookie jar like it was the most precious thing in the whole universe, she squealed and prepared herself to at least break a leg, hand or head.

With her eyes squeezed shut, she waited for her face to hit the ground but surprisingly ended up falling on something hard yet soft.
