Trapped in Her Heart

Looking at the notepad where he had taken all the notes in, Sebastian sighed. Even after getting tips from the experts, he couldn't gather any courage to go and coax Ellie. The way she had yelled at him was very horrifying, he had never seen her so angry.      

Impatiently looking at the door, he was waiting for her. It was almost lunch time and he knew that she would definitely come over to give him lunch and his special coffee. He had also planned to apologize to her again when she arrived and force her to eat lunch with him.     

Just then someone knocked at the door.     

Thinking that it was Ellie, Sebastian straightened his suit and fixed his hair. "Come in."     

His enthusiasm flushed down when Patricia entered the room along with a packet lunch and a cup of coffee.     

The change in his expressions did not go unnoticed by her. Suppressing her laugh, she placed the lunch and coffee on his desk. "Ellie sent these for you and she has asked you to eat them without saying anything. She also asked me to tell you that she is taking a half day today. She has already submitted her application."     

"What? A half day? Ellie is not in the office?" When Patricia nodded her head, he frowned, "Did she eat anything?"     

"I have no idea but she looked mad when she left."     

Sebastian sighed and massaged his forehead. "It's all my fault."     

Sitting down on the chair, she nodded her head, "Hmm, if I would've been in Ellie's place, I would've killed my husband."      

When Sebastian gave him a weird look, she shrugged her shoulders, "I had a long talk with Ava before she left."     

"I know I messed up Patricia and now I don't know what to do. Ellie doesn't want to see me and I feel so alone without her," he sighed.     

"Hey don't get disheartened okay? She is mad right now but I am sure this won't last long. She is gonna be okay and if she is still angry, what are flowers for? Trust me, a bouquet of fresh roses is all that a woman needs when she is angry and there is also sweet talks from the man she loves." Getting up, Patricia added, "After a few hours just go and look for her, promise her that you wont lie to her ever again and please live by that."     

"You think that will work? She asked me to take my ass out of her office and I could say by her tone that she was super mad at me."     

She nodded her head and said, "Hmm, she did seem very angry but I don't think so even she can stay angry at you for a long time. She'll be okay after sometime."     

After getting Patricia's assurance, Sebastian felt a bit better. He had no idea whether everything that Patricia said would turn out to be true or not but it still gave him hope.

"Can you believe this? He lied to me," Ellie gritted her teeth and frowned.     

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Markus said, "Firstly, you look very scary when you are angry little woman, really very scary."     

Crossing her arms in the front, she faked a smile. "Thank You so much Markus, This is all I needed to hear right now."     

"Okay I am sorry, I just thought that you should know that you are scaring me and your face is as red as a tomato, which by the way would make a lovely salad. "     

 Without waiting for her reply, he sighed, "Alright, let's get serious now."     

"Finally, thank you so much for not making fun of me anymore."     

"Okay so what are you more angry about? Because he was forced to go on date with a woman who means nothing to him by his over controlling mother or because he lied to you so that you won't be all upset and angry at him?"     

 When Ellie frowned, Markus added, "Now tell me one more thing, would you not stop talking to him if he told you about this earlier? I mean would you be cool about it and not be mad?"     

When she chose to stay quiet, he smiled, "I'll take your silence as a no." Grabbing her hand, he added, "Look El, I am not saying that he is right and he shouldn't have lied to you but he didn't want this to happen. He didn't want to see you all mad and sad. Even you know that Sebastian isn't like that."      

Ellie sighed and nodded her head, "I guess you are right, I think I ended up overreacting. I shouldn't have been so rude to him but I am still mad, I don't want him to lie to me no matter what happens. Maybe I would've shouted at him but at least I would feel satisfied and happy thinking that he is at least honest with me."      

"Hmm, you have all right to be angry and make him realize that what he did was wrong and in the future, no matter what happens, he must not lie to you but you did understand my point right?"      

Ellie nodded her head and said, "I did." Giving him a hug, she smiled, "I am glad that I talked to you."      

Patting her back, Markus chuckled, "I hope I don't ever have to see the scary angry side of you in the future, it really scared me and I am very sure that it scared Sebastian too."      

Pulling away, she frowned, "He needs to realize his mistake so I am not seeing him today."      

"Did you leave work early today?"      

"I took a half day, I just wanted to be alone for sometime."     

He nodded his head and asked, "Did you eat anything?" When she shook her head, he added, "Let's have lunch together then."      

"Okay, I'll just make a phone call and then we can leave." When he nodded his head, she stepped out for a bit and called Patricia.
