Seb sat in his office, his frustration very evident. Tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, his glare intensified with each passing second.

Michelle stood as she read his schedule for him.

Something his damn Assistant should be doing!

Did he make a mistake by employing that girl?!

Scar's tardiness on just the second day of her work had ignited a fiery anger within him.

As Seb stewed in his irritation, the office door swung open, revealing Scar standing in the doorway.

Time seemed to freeze as their eyes locked, and Scar's heart skipped a beat at the intensity of Seb's death glare.

He wasted no time in launching into a barrage of questions, his voice laced with irritation and impatience.

"What do you think you're doing, coming in late on your second day?!" Seb's voice boomed, echoing through the office. "Do you have any idea how important punctuality is in this company? I expect my employees to be professional and reliable!"

Michelle smirked, giving her the, 'You're fucked bitch' l

    With a nonchalant and tired sigh, Scar continued to read through the schedule, occasionally murmuring under her breath. She couldn't help but feel the displeasure and satisfaction as she saw the long list of commitments Seb had made. On one hand, she was slightly annoyed that he seemed to have little time for anything else. On the other hand, she couldn't deny that he deserved the packed schedule, considering the way he had been treating her.'This is the best punishment for someone like him, he deserves it'As she read through the various meetings, appointments, and events, Scar's thoughts swirled with a little mix of emotions. With a smug smile, she closed the schedule and leaned back in her chair. She stretched her hand and picked up the stubborn client's file and decided to have a little chat with it. Yes, you heard that right, she started talking to the paper as if it could be convinced. "Alright, Mr. Stubborn Client, let's have a heart-to-paper talk, shall we?" Scar said,

    Just as she was trying to calm her pounding heart, the rain poured down slowly, drenching her a bit and her body reacting by shivering. The sound of thunder echoed through the darkened streets, adding to her unease. As she walked with hurried steps, desperately seeking shelter, a sudden flash of headlights illuminated her face, momentarily blinding her. She instinctively shielded her eyes, squinting through the rain-soaked strands of her hair.To her surprise, the car came to a halt right in front of her, its engine purring softly. Through the misty windshield, she could make out the silhouette of a man behind the wheel.'Isn't this Boss' car?'She asked herself. The car door opened, and the driver stepped out, holding an umbrella to shield himself from the downpour. He looked at her with concern, his eyes reflecting the faint glow of the streetlights."Hello Miss Oslon," he said, his voice warm and inviting. "The boss asked to give you a ride home. It's raining and there are no tax

She impatiently asked."I already applied for a few jobs elsewhere for you and I’m so damn sure you’ll get them!"Natalie continued to ramble on and on and Scar just gave her is skeptical look.

    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.

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

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."

    “Crying solves nothing and you can't keep running away from them forever. They're your parents.” Natalie said for the untenth time as she watched Scarlett who was laying on the bed with her eyes closed.“I don't want to see them, is that so hard to understand?” she asked as she huffed. Natalie had been trying so long to talk to her and make her understand that her parents came for good and not bad, but she refused to accept them back into the life they had aimed to destroy.“But you're still ending up with the same man they chose for you.” Nat reminded and Scar opened her eyes to glare at her.“Do you think I'm mad at them because of that?
