Arrogant
Helplessly shaking his head, Markus sighed, "Such slow people but since you wanna take things slow, this old man can do nothing. But I feel like a kiss to seal the deal is important."
Glancing at her watch, she widened her eyes in shock, "It's so late, I gotta go now."
"Hey, can you get a scone from the bakery behind Macy's?" He asked.
Placing her hand on her waist, she asked, "Are you diabetic?"
"No I am not, I am as healthy as a horse." Showing her his biceps, he added, "How can a unhealthy man have these?"
"Alright then, I'll get it for you." She chuckled.
"Today?"
"You want it today?" Thinking for a while, she said, "Alright, I'll get it during my lunch time."
"I will be right here," he smiled.
Giving him a goodbye hug, Ellie smiled, "See you during lunch, bye."

Afternoon
Stewart International Group
Glancing at the watch, Ellie frowned. It was almost lunch time but Sebastian was missing since morning. He wasn't receiving her calls and no one knew where he was.
"Hey El we are going out for lunch today, you are coming right?" Melissa asked.
"Ah no, actually I need to go somewhere so—"
Cutting her off, Melissa sighed, "Sebastian isn't a kid El so you don't have to worry about him so much. May be he got stuck somewhere like an important meeting, traffic."
"He can at least give me a call right? Anyway—" grabbing her bag, Ellie said, "I need to go somewhere too so I'll pass the lunch."
"Alright go safe and do you want me to get take outs for you?"
"That would be nice Mel and if Sebastian arrives while I am away, tell him to call me." Without waiting for her reply, Ellie rushed out of the office.
….
Yummy Bakery
"What would you like to have?"
"I want two scones please and one chocolate pastry," Ellie said.
"Take out?"
"Yes."
"Two scones for takeout please," Taking out his wallet, a man added, "Add in a chocolate pastry to that."
"I am sorry sir but we are out of scones, we just sold our last two pieces," the bakery worker explained.
Looking at the scones which were still lying on the white plate, the man asked, "What are those then?"
"I just bought them so they are mine," Ellie explained.
"Did you pay for them yet?" He asked.
"No but I am about to," Waving her credit card at him, she added, "In fact, I would've already paid of you hadn't interrupted us by breaking the queue."
Ignoring her, the man looked at the bakery worker. "Since she hasn't paid for it yet, I would like to buy it."
Raising her brows, Ellie snorted, "Excuse me?"
"I am sorry sir but they are already sold."
Taking out his credit card, he said, "Just give me the scrone."
Crossing her arms in the front, Ellie snapped, "Either you did not hear what she is saying or you are fucking deaf." She hated when people acted like a dickhead in public places.
"Listen miss, I need them the scones okay? It's important."
Ignoring him, she gave the worker her credit card. "Make it fast please."
"Hey, didn't you hear what I said? It's important and I need them." The man snapped.
"If it's important, make sure to come back a little early tomorrow so that you don't have to try snatching something that is already bought buy someone esle." She retorted before taking her take outs and walking out of the cafe.
"I'll pay you double the price for that scone," he shouted.
Glaring at him, Ellie gritted her teeth before dashing out of the bakery.
…..
Park.
"I hate such people. I mean I would've given him at least one of the scones if he had been polite but he was arrogant since the very beginning." Ellie ranted.
"Uh-huh, why didn't you break his nose then?" Markus asked while opening the box.
"I wasn't in a mood to deal with idiots and besides I don't wanna waste my brain cells on arrogant people like that man. He was even showing off his money." Letting out a mocking chuckle, she added, "He is probably a rich spoilt brat."
"Hmm isn't he also rich?"
"Who? Sebastian?" When Markus nodded his head, she said, "But he is very simple, sweet and kind. He isn't arrogant and doesn't show off."
Taking a bite of the scone, he sighed in satisfaction, "If you ever wanna know what heaven tastes like, try this thing."
"Seems like you like scones are your favourite," she smiled.
"Not all, this scone is special." Taking another bite, he asked, "What happened? You look a bit upset."
"Ahh it's nothing, I should go now." Giving him a brief hug, Ellie said, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Alright, go safe and thank you for the scone."
….
As soon as Ellie stepped out of the park, her phone started ringing and when she saw who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where are you Sebastian? I am trying to call you since morning but either the call doesn't go through or you don't receive my call. Do you have any idea how worried I am?" She was feeling frustrated and uneasy after not seeing him for the entire morning and afternoon.
"I am so sorry, the network is very bad here but I am fine so stop worrying okay?"
"Where are you?" She asked.
Hessitating for a while, he answered, "I am a bit busy but I'll pick you up from office in the evening so wait for me."
"Evening? Did you eat anything?"
"Hmm not yet but I'll surely grab something. Okay I need to go now, don't forget to have your lunch. I'll see you soon."
"Alright, drive safe."
After hanging up the call, Ellie sighed and started walking towards the office.
