Seb moved closer, closing the space between them, his face buried in the crook of her neck, his breath fanning her, "Tell me something Scar, why do you hate me so much?" Seb asked, his voice was low and laced with pain.At first, Scar was distracted by how close they were, eventually, his words sank in and took Scar by surprise, he was accusing her of hating him, was he for real, her rage surfaced and she clenched her fists feeling the urge to hit him.'How dare he? He seriously has the audacity to accuse me of that?! Since I started working here he has been nothing but terrible to me, he treated and still treats me like his worst enemy and the worst part is that I don't know what I did wrong.' She wanted to burst out and say all these things but refrained from doing so.She stared at him square in the eyes and spoke, "What are you doing Mr. Ash you're engaged, you've got a fiancee for crying out loud and I've got someone I like."Seb gritted his teeth, "Why can't you like me instead?

Seb's car eventually arrived at her house, their entire ride was filled with silence neither of them dared to utter a single word. "Do you want to come in for tea or coffee?" Scar offered feeling right about it. But to her dismay, he shook his head, "Maybe next time, I need to attend something real soon."

Scar tried to hide her disappointment but failed, Seb saw right through her facade, he wanted to stay but couldn't. Scar opened the door and was about to leave when Seb held her hand, "Aren't you forgetting something?" he arched a brow. Scar was confused wondering what he was on about, "No, I've got my purse and phone with me, so I'm set."He pouted his lips, "And what about my kiss?""What kiss?" Scar mused as a grin crept on her face. He pouted even more, "If you're not giving me my kiss then I'll take you home with me, or better yet to another city."Scar gas

Scar woke up with a bright smile plastered on her face, all through the morning it didn't leave her face. Nat even teased her about it, "Wow, look at what love can do, I bet you're on cloud nine." Scar rolled her eyes at her friend's statement. "I'm not on cloud nine or any form of cloud, you're making it sound like I'm a love-sick puppy.""Well, you're acting like one." Nat had a grin plastered on her face too. "If I oppose you we'll be at it for a long time and I don't want to miss work," Scar replied as she picked up her stuff getting ready to leave. "True, you can go now, I won't be an obstacle to you seeing your beloved." She teased her some more, making Scar blush profusely. "Grow up Nat, I'm leaving now." Scar's retort wasn't as firm as she wanted it to be. "Have an awesome day!" Nat yelled as Scar walked out of the house.

Scar breathed out a breath she didn't even know that she was holding as she reached home, her mind was swirling with numerous questions. 'Did Harper know? Is that why she called me over? Or does she just think that I might know who the woman would be because I'm Mr. Ash's PA?'It was so confusing, Scar didn't know what to think anymore. She opened the door and entered her and Nat's house. As she walked in, she was hit by a scrumptious aroma of freshly baked cupcakes, despite having already eaten she felt like she wouldn't mind a bite or two.

An elegant-looking waiter approached them, "Good evening, I hope you're having a lovely evening," He brightly smiled, "What can I get you?"Skye waited for Harper to order first, she skimmed through the menu then finally settled on something, "I'll have the Scandinavia steak and potatoes."The

It was Saturday and as promised Scar went to Seb's house so that she could teach him how to make the cupcakes. Despite it being her second visit, she was still in awe of the whole place.

Before she could knock, it opened by itself revealing Seb, he looked like he had just come from taking a shower and his hair was dripping wet. He wore a black T-shirt and gray sweatpants which made him look even more alluring. A smirk crept on his face and he spoke, "Did your mother not tell you that staring is bad manners?""Did your mother not teach you that being this good-looking is a crime?" She countered. He let out a chuckle, "I didn't know that you thought that about me." Seb leaned in, staring into her eyes. "Now you do, though I think you already knew that," Scar said to him. Seb smiled innocently and ushered her in, "Please, come on into my humble home."She grinned at his statement, "How modest of

"Please Sca—," She cut him off before he could finish. "Skye stop, why are you apologizing? It's not your fault at all." Her voice was filled with so much emotion. "But—""But nothing, I just had a lot of things going on lately, I'm so sorry." Scar
