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. To her surprise when she reached outside she was met with Seb's car outside her doorstep, that was one of the things she didn't expect. She walked to
Harper was overcame by rage, she felt humiliated by Seb.How dare he do that to her, she wasn't going to let this slide in the slightest, she was going to get her revenge. Harper wiped the tears from her eyes and composed herself walking out of the elevator. Many eyes turned to her direction but she strode passed them like they were insects she'd trample on. After getting into her car, she dialed someone's line, after the person picked up she spoke her voice coming out emotionless, "I need you to tail Sebastian Ashford 24/7, report to me who he's with, what time they are together, what they're doing and the like, also send a message on my behalf to Scarlett and tell her we need to meet urgently.""Understood," The person on the other line said and she instantly ended the call. After having her lunch Scar preoccupied herself with a lots of work. Since Harper left, Seb hadn't left his office and so she wondered what happened between the two. Suddenly, her phone rang indicating a new
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. Scar's feet dragged her to the source of the amazing aroma, she found Natalie removing a bunch of freshly baked cupcakes from the oven. "Hey, you're back," Nat said, opening her arms for a hug. Scar walked to her friend and gave her a bear hug, "Yep, whatcha baking?""Red velvet cupcakes." She grinned waving at her masterpiece. "Ohhh, that's awesome, can I have one, " Scar asked, pulling out her pouty puppy dog eye face. Nat stretched out
Harper walked into the hotel's restaurant, she walked to the table that was reserved for them. She spotted him already seated with just focus completely on his phone. He wore a dark blue dress shirt with black pants, and his hair was tousled but looked flawless. She cleared her throat as she finally reached him, "Skye? "He looked up and finally noticed her, then put his phone away, "Yes, that's me." He smiled charmingly at her and held out his hand for her.She was about to shake it but he kissed the back of it instead, "Nice to meet you again." He said."Likewise," She then motioned to the table, "Shall we?""Of course," He pulled out a chair for her and she thanked him before sitting down. 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. Scar took her time admiring every inch of the surroundings until she reached the door. 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
Scar didn't expect to see Skye at her doorstep, holding flowers and a box of what seemed to be chocolates. They both stayed in an uncomfortable silence as Scar processed everything, she didn't know what to say after cutting him off without any explanation.Skye took a few steps toward her until he was in front of her. "Hi Scarlett, I came here because I miss you and wanted to talk to you."His eyes appeared so sad and bleak that it broke her heart, he swallowed and then continued. "I don't know what I did wrong, or how I offended you but I'm deeply sorry, please Scar forgive me." Scar felt a pang in her heart, he was apologizing for something he didn't even do, it was heart-wrenching, she should have been the one saying sorry not him. "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
A Week flew by since the friends rekindled their friendship, in this week they had a lot of fun, they caught up on lost time, equally, she spent quality time with Seb and the two enjoyed each other's company though she didn't tell him that she and Skye had begun speaking again. Every time she wanted to tell him, she always decided against it. Seb had gone out of town for a while and couldn't take Scar with him on the pretense of it not being that important because it was related to the Mafia stuff. Skye took up this opportunity to hang out with Scar and arranged a dinner at a hotel called the Imperial Hotel. He wanted to make Scar feel special so he booked the whole restaurant, it was expensive but worth it. Skye picked up Scar from her place after briefly talking to Natalie. He couldn't help but let his gaze linger on her, she looked truly beautiful, it sort of took his breath away just glancing at her.They eventually arrived at the Imperial Hotel, it was a large three-story glas
Scar abruptly turned and saw a raging Seb standing there with an envelope in his hands. He marched towards them with quick strides and reached them within seconds. He immediately went to Skye and punched him in the gut then the face breaking his lip. Skye staggered back and almost fell but held his ground. Seb was about to attack him again but Scar got in the way, "Please, don't." He stepped back as he asked, "I get it, you don't want me to hurt your lover, I fully understand it." "What? that's not how it is, let me explain, this is just some misunderstanding." Scar said as she wanted to reach out to him but feared that he'd push her away. A bitter laugh escaped his lips, "Explain what? Your little lies, c'mon Scarlett I'm not a five years old, I saw you both sucking each other's faces, what is there to explain?” He paused, racking a hand through his hair in frustration, "When I got this, I didn't want to believe it. I thought it was a lie and everything was edited." He was referr
