Chapter 259 - Average girl

"Yes we are." Looking at Vincent, Noah asked in all seriousness. "I don't think you wanna be an intern and start everything again." 

"Noah, stopped fooling around with Vincent," Rosy remarked. 

Shrugging his shoulder, Noah sighed, "Mom I am just trying to help him out." 

"We don't have any vacancy now, we will do what can be done when someone resigns or gets transferred," Sebastian explained. 

"Alright, I will wait for your response then. I hope you won't forget—" Looking at Ellie, Vincent smiled, "I hope Ellie will help me remind you about it." 

"Of course she will, that is the job of an assistant afterall," Rebecca remarked.

"I don't know what Ellie does but as Noah's assistant, I always push down things or people that annoy me," Melissa snapped. 

Taking a sip of the wine, Ellie smiled, "I do the same, in fact I don't just push it down, I completely erase it from my to-do or reminder list." 

"People say that the boss is the most important person in the office and no one should piss him off but to be precise, it is the boss' assistant who holds more power. She is the one who takes acre of the appointment and reminds the boss about each and everything." Looking at Vincent, Samuel smiled, "Piss an assistant and you will be unknown forever." 

Giving him a weak smile, Vincent slowly nodded his head. "I will keep that in mind." 

…..

The dinner party ended on a very peaceful note. Everyone had a really fun time except for two people who were sulking in a corner. 

Holding a wine glass in his hand, Vincent was continuously staring at Ellie who was busy talking with Arthur and Samuel. 

"Don't even think of doing anything absurd with her. I am telling you Vincent, the day you lay your hands on that woman, even I cannot save you or your career," Rebecca snapped. 

"You worry too much aunty, I am not doing anything. Can't I just look at something just to warm my eyes?" he smirked. 

"What is there to look at? She is just an average girl," she scoffed. 

Taking a sip of his wine, he smirked, "She is definitely more than just average." 

When Ellie stepped out for a bit to use the restroom, Vincent quickly kept his glass on the table and slowly followed her. 

"I'll be right back," he stated before walking away. 

"Vincent—" Rebecca stopped midway and gritted her teeth when Vincent ignored her warning and left. She knew exactly how her nephew's character was but she still wanted to help him out because of her sister. She also knew that Sebastian and Noah would never want to give him a job in the company but she still wanted to force him in. 

…..

Upstairs. 

Sebastian's room. 

When Ellie stepped out of the room, she bumped into Vincent at the door. Taking a couple of steps backwards, she frowned. She already hated the vibe he was giving out and the way he kept looking at her made her feel uncomfortable but she decided to tolerate him because he was Sebastian's cousin. 

"I heard that you were the one who did the major cooking today? The food was really very delicious." Looking at her hands, he smirked, "I am sure you are delicious—I mean your hands are delicious too." 

"We all did the cooking together so the credit goes to each one of us," she answered.

"Well, I want to give you all the credit," he chuckled. 

"I need to go down, will you please step away?" she snapped. 

Taking a step towards her, he smiled, "What is the rush Ellie? I would love to have your company. I mean you are cousins girlfriend, we should also share a nice bond right?" 

Ellie was about to say something when Calvin stepped into the room. "Why don't you first try to strengthen your bond with Sebastian and then try to bond with Seb's girlfriend." 

Walking towards her, Calvin stood right beside her. "Or why don't you try and bond with her in my presence?" 

When Vincent did not say anything, he remarked, "El you should go down first, Seb is looking for you." 

Without saying anything, Vincent stepped aside allowing her to leave. 

After she was nowhere to be seen, Calvin took a couple of steps forward. "Now listen to me you dingus, you better not try to use your cheap and dirty methods here. It's a joyous occasion today so I don't wanna create a scene and you know what will happen if I tell Seb what you are actually trying to do, right? So you better watch out and keep your bonding all by yourself." 

Without waiting for his reply, Calvin walked out of the room.

….

Downstairs. 

When Ellie rushed downstairs, Sebastian was waiting for her near the stairs. 

"Babe, where did you go?" 

"I went to your room to use the restroom," she informed. 

Scrunching his brows, Sebastian inquired, "Are you okay? What happened?" 

Just then Calvin walked down the stairs and stopped right beside Ellie. He was about to say something when she stopped him midway. 

"I got scared in the restroom alone so I ran down," she quickly answered. 

Knocking her forehead, Sebastian chuckled, "Silly, I will accompany you next time, okay? I will get the car, meanwhile you can say goodbye to everyone." 

When she nodded her head, Sebastian left. 

"What the hell El? Why didn't you tell him?" Calvin frowned. 

"Cal, you know how Seb is, he will definitely overreact and that will affect the entire environment. I will talk to him when I get a chance at home but not here," she explained. 

"Please do, when you are uncomfortable with something or someone you have to tell Sebastian about it," Calvin sighed. 

"I will but not here." 

…..

Next day. 

Park. 

"Hmm did you talk to Seb about it?" Markus inquired. 

"He was too tired yesterday will all the cooking and then the dinner party, I wanted him to rest," Ellie answered. 

"And when are you planning to tell him about it?" 

"Today, he is out for an important meeting with an overseas client. I have to stay at the office and handle everything there. I will talk to him as soon as he comes back," she sighed. 

Giving her a hug, Markus patted her head. "Everything is fine, just talk to Seb about it." 

"It just feels so weird Markus, I don't know what is happening." 

"Stop stressing over it and relax and let Sebastian handle the situation." 

…..

Stewart International and Group. 

Evening. 

"Why are you still at the office?" Sebastian frowned. 

Putting the phone on speaker mode, Ellie started packing her things. I am leaving, how did the meeting go?" 

"It went well, how is your headache?" 

"It's alright." Pausing for a while, she added, "Seb, I need to talk to you about something important." 

"What is it honey?" 

"Why don't you meet me at home and then we can talk properly?" she suggested. 

"Sure, I will be home in fifteen minutes. Go safe, okay?" 

"Hmm drive safe." After hanging up the call, Ellie rushed out of her office. She yelped and leaped backwards when she bumped into someone. 

"You seem to be in a hurry," Vincent smiled. 

Scrunching her brows, she snapped, "What are you doing here?" 

"I am here to see Seb, your boss c.u.m lover and also my cousin," he chuckled before stepping into the office. 

"Well he isn't here, come tomorrow if you wanna see him." Without waiting for his reply, she started walking out of the room. 

Grabbing her wrist, Vincent smirked, "What is the rush Ms.Miller?" 

"Let go of my hand." 

Tightening her grip around her wrist, he smiled, "What if I don't?" 

Ellie winced in pain when the sharp edges of his ring pierced into her skin. Twisting her wrist, she tried to free herself from his grasp but he kept tightening his grip until her blood started dripping on the ground. 

Tightening her grip on the sling of her bag which she was holding in her other hand, she jerked it and slammed it on his face, completely startling him. 

When he staggered backwards and loosening his grip, she pushed him away and ran out of the office. 

The office timing was long over so the building was almost over with only a few employees working over time. 

Without looking at anybody, Ellie quickly stepped into the elevator and pressed the button. When the elevator opened on the ground floor, she rushed outside and stepped inside the cab that was waiting for her. 

…..

Sebastian's and Ellie's apartment. 

When Ellie entered the apartment, Sebastian had already arrived and was busy petting the dogs. 

"Look mommy is also—" Scrunching his brows, he quickly got up and rushed towards her. Placing his hand on her shoulder, he snapped, "Ellie what happened? Why are you crying?" 

Before she could say anything, he widened his eyes in shock when he saw her bleeding wrist. "How did this happen?" he yelled. 

Wrapping her arms around his waist, she buried her face on his chest before bursting into tears.
