Chapter 2 - Sore butt and nose

Inside the office.

Tapping his fingers on the desk, he kept glancing at his watch with a huge frown on his face. "Who is next?"

Looking at the list of interviewees, Noah answered, "Ellie Miller."

"Why isn't she in yet?" the man inquired.

Noah sighed and helplessly shook his head. "Oh come on Seb, she is just running a minute late. I am sure she will be in any minute and if you are late for your meeting, leave this hiring your assistant thing to me. I'll hire the best one for you."

Glaring at his cousin, Sebastian Stewart narrowed his eyes. "Best? Wasn't the last one that you hired for me also the best? And what happened? Well, I don't think so I have to remind you about that."

Frowning at him, Noah snapped, "Dude, she was hot."

"Why did you hire her anyway? She had worked in a strip club before, wasn't that reason enough for you to chuck her out?" Sebastian inquired.

" I told you she was hot and-"

Cutting him off, Sebastian retorted, "She was more horny than hot."

 vigorously nodding his head, Noah chuckled, "I know and you were supposed to sleep with her. I was actually helping you get laid man, thank me."

Sebastian was about to say something when someone opened the door.

"I am so-aaaahhhhh," Ellie squealed when she accidentally tripped and landed on the floor. She hit her nose against the floor and her documents scattered all over the place.

"Oh God Ellie," Melissa shouted before rushing towards her.

When Melissa entered the office, Noah quickly got up and rushed towards them while Sebastian stood rooted where he was with a huge frown on his face.

"El are you fine?" Melissa panicked.

Rubbing her nose which had turned sour and red, Ellie vigorously shook her head. She had just hit her nose against the floor, how could she be okay?

"Why are you always so clumsy? Arrgghh what will I do with you?" Melissa murmured before helping her up.

Noah on the other hand, picked up all the papers from the ground and placed them inside the file. "Are you fine?"

Ellie reluctantly nodded her head while Melissa elbowed her boyfriend.

"Huh babe, what happened?" Noah asked.

Inching closer, Melissa whispered, "I hope you did what I had asked you to."

When Noah slowly nodded his head, she checked on Ellie for the last time and left after wishing her luck.

"Do you want some ice?" Noah inquired.

Ellie shook her head and smiled, "No, I am good."

"Alright, let's start the interview, this way please," he guided her towards the desk.

Placing his pen down, Sebastian leaned back on his chair and informed, "You are late by five minutes, what excuse would you like you put forward for being unpunctual."

Leaning towards his weird cousin, Noah whispered, "Dude you just saw, she tripped and landed on her nose right in front of you."

"I am so sorry for running late. Honestly, I didn't wish all of this to happen, I mean who would right? So I set up an early alarm but I don't know what happened. I ended up turning it off and decided to sleep again. Then I realized that I cannot do this so I woke up but ended up falling on my butt so yeah, my butt was already sore and now my nose feels sore too and then-" she stopped midway when Noah gave her a dead signal and placed his fingers on his lips, indicating her not to talk so much.

Awkwardly scratching her forehead, she cleared her throat. "En I am sorry for running late, it won't happen again."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Sebastian raised his brows. "Is someone going to deliver your resume on my table?"

Sticking her tongue out, she gave him an awkward smile and quickly fished out her resume from her file.

While Sebastian was busy going through her resume, Ellie couldn't take her eyes off the handsome man sitting right in front of her.

The articles that she had read about Sebastian Stewart being a handsome hunk totally did justice to his beautiful face.

From his beautiful light brown eyes to his perfect jawlines and nose, he looked handsome in every possible profile.

"I see you have an experience of working as an assistant for a software company in Seattle and that is also the last company you have worked in. Why did you decide to leave?" Sebastian inquired.

"I always wanted to try something big and different so I decided to shift to L.A and try being independent," Ellie answered.

"So you think moving to L.A and working here is big?"

"I am sorry, don't you think this company is big? And-" Ellie widened her eyes in shock and vigorously shook her head, "No no I mean, I know this company is big."

Slapping his forehead, Noah helplessly shook his head.

Staring at Ellie for quite some time, Sebastian said, "Alright, you can leave."

"What? That's it?" she curiously inquired.

Sebastian raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want me to ask you more questions?"

She vigorously shook her head and quickly rushed out of the office.

"Isn't she good? I mean look at her, she is beautiful, smart, looks intelligent and-"

Cutting Noah off, Sebastian said, "Chuck her out and hire the man whom we had interviewed before her."

Noah widened his eyes in shock and snapped, "You are kidding me right?"

"Unpunctual, clumsy, carefree and a big mouth. Almost everything that I don't like." After pointing out Ellie's flaws, he got up and left for his scheduled meeting.

After he left, Noah rubbed his chin and immersed himself in a very deep thought.

After a few seconds, his lips curled upwards when something struck him. Fishing his phone out, Noah patted his own shoulder and proudly exclaimed, "God Noah Stewart, you are a fucking genius."
