Bonus Chapter - A Special Moment

Although I don't really care much for the day...Happy Valentine's Day, my loves.

I've read all your comments, and what makes me laugh most, is your reactions to Sebastian at the start, and then towards end.

Personally, Sebastian is what I like to call a 'lovable idiot', and here is an example why...

***

"I hate you!" Mia exclaims, throwing her keys on the table and shrugging her jacket off haphazardly.

Sebastian trailed behind her.

"Ah come on, love. You don't mean that," he tries to say, and instead gets a cushion thrown in his face.

Mia glared at him, whilst Sebastian just stood there, looking down at the cushion, and then back up to Mia.

There was just guilt all across his face.

"You left me waiting there for ages!" Mia said, looking around for something to throw, and found a small tea light candle to be good enough.

Unfortunately for her, Sebastian caught it, but looked apologetic about it.

"I'm so sorry, baby. I didn't think I'd be this late. I did message you," Sebastian tried to make his case, but kind of made it worse.

"Yes, you did message to say you'll be ten minutes late...for the last hour you kept messaging that," Mia then reminded Sebastian, who winced at her words. "I looked like I had been stood up, as I practically begged the maitre d' to let me keep the table for longer," she then added.

Sebastian continued to walk after Mia, who had walked into the kitchen now.

"I didn't-" Sebastian began to say, but was interrupted by Mia slamming one of the kitchen cabinet doors.

She wasn't searching for anything, but had the urge to just slam the doors and create some noise, just to let out the anger she was feeling.

She then continued her ranting. "He, of course said no, because it was a popular table and he'd already let me keep it for forty minutes more than the usual allocated time, for when people don't show," Mia said the last words rather bitterly.

As Mia walked away, back into the living room, Sebastian sighed, and walked after her.

"I promise I remembered the dinner, but this meeting just wouldn't end," he tried to defend himself once more.

Since Richard had handed the company over to Sebastian, there had been a lot on his plate. He had been given the company as a sort of wedding present, but clearly Richard didn't realise that it was a lot to receive, especially when you were about to get married.

Nonetheless, Sebastian took on the responsibility, and had been both a great boss and husband.

However, recently work had been occupying more of his time. Despite working in the same company, he didn't get to see Mia much, unless it was a meeting, and at home, he was just tired at the end of the day.

The company was handling a big project, and the client was one Richard had known for a while. Sebastian knew he couldn't afford to mess this up, especially since succeeding would not only be beneficial to him, but for the company and his employees. He wanted this for them too.

Mia then stopped abruptly, causing Sebastian to walk into her back, and then quickly take a few steps back, in case she threw something.

With less of a distance, anything Mia would throw, would definitely hurt more.
