Patricia widened her eyes in shock when she saw Sebastian walking towards them. Pointing towards him, Patricia asked, "Is that Sebastian? Our boss?"
Placing her hand on Patricia's shoulder, Ellie asked, "Patricia, are you okay?"
Patricia, who was still shocked and horrified after seeing her boss leave the office so early couldn't believe that it was actually happening. The workaholic Sebastian Stewart who loved the walls of his office and his files more than his life was actually leaving early to attend a party?
Patricia was more stunned than scared that maybe her boss had hit his head somewhere and had lost his memories or someone else was pretending to be Sebastian. What if the one who abandoned work for a party is an intruder?
"Patricia, why are you still here?" Sebastian asked.
"I-"
Cutting her off, Sebastian said, "I think you should leave too, it's already past office time."
"Eh boss is your watch working fine?" Patricia asked.
When Sebastian nodded his head, Patricia added, "Are you sure boss?"
Glancing at his watch, Sebastian frowned, "It's 6:45 right now." Turning towards Ellie, Sebastian asked, "Ms Miller, what is the time by your watch?"
Glancing at her wrist watch, Ellie answered, "6:45 sir."
"Hmm Patricia, I think it's working fine."
Patricia awkwardly cleared her throat and asked, "But sir are you really leaving? It's not even 7 yet."
Sebastian thought for a while and answered, "Noah and Melissa are throwing a dinner party and they have invited me too so I decided to leave early."
Patricia forced herself to nod her head and smiled. "Of course, a break is good for health. I hope you have a fun and you too Ellie."
Ellie smiled and nodded her head before taking out her phone to call a cab.
"Ms Miller, let's leave." Taking the keys from the chauffeur's hand, Sebastian unlocked the car and gestured the chauffeur to leave.
Ellie pointed towards her and asked, "Me?"
Sebastian frowned and asked, "Is there any other Miller around?" When Ellie vigorously shook her head, he added, "So isn't it evident that I am talking to you?"
"Oh, hmm it's okay sir, I'll take a cab." How could she let her boss chauffeur her around? Wouldn't that be awkward? Not only awkward, it would feel weird too.
"We are going the same way and to the same place so it will be more convenient if I drive us there. Please get into the car otherwise we will be late."
Ellie thought for a while before pulling the passenger door and getting into the car.
Patricia who was standing not too far away from them, still had a shocked expression on.
First, Sebastian leaving office early to attend a party which had never happened in the past and second, Sebastian letting someone else sit inside his car. In fact, he actually volunteered to give someone a ride in his car. With so many unusual things happening, Patricia was having a head rush.
As the car drove away, Patricia's lips curled upwards. Maybe the change was for good and maybe things would turn even better in the future. Maybe Ellie would bring out the best of Sebastian.
All Patricia wanted was Sebastian to live and enjoy his life like men of his age did but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't persuade him to set his work aside for a while and enjoy his life. But now when she was seeing a change, Patricia was feeling very happy and overwhelmed.

Noah's and Melissa's place
"Ahhh put me down." Ava screamed.
Swirling her around for a couple of times, Calvin Lewis carefully placed her down and took a deep breath. "Ahh you've gained weight, I can't carry you with ease like I used to."
Smacking his shoulder, Ava frowned, "How mean of you to call a woman fat?"
Faking a gasp, Calvin cupped his cheeks. "Oh you are a woman? Really? I didn't know that."
Placing her hand on her waist when Ava glared at him, Calvin grinned and added, "It was a joke."
"I don't like jokes." Stamping his foot on purpose, Ava walked away.
"Ouch…hey, they are brand new and I bought them today." Calvin shouted.
"Uh huh, they are ugly." Ava shouted.
Walking towards her, Calvin grabbed Ava's wrist and pulled her closer. Leaning towards her, Calvin whispered, "If you weren't Sebastian's sister, I would've shown you that nothing about Calvin Lewis is ugly."
