Two hours later, he is still in the meeting and I'm hungry. I already watched a few episodes of Grey's Anatomy on his laptop, but now I'm bored. I'll just message him.

══════════════════

Me: Baby, how much longer will you be in there?

Seb💕: I'm not sure. Do you need me for something?

Me: No, I'm just hungry and bored.

Seb💕: Come in here and I'll get you proper food in a bit.

Me: Which door is it?

Seb💕: Give me a second.

══════════════════

A few minutes later, the door opens and he says, "Follow me, love, I'll order food for you. Look for the contact 'Delivery' on my phone and ask for exactly what you want," he hands me his phone and interlocks his fingers with mine.

"Kk, where do you want me to sit?"

"In my seat."

He opens the door and everyone is busy doing their own thing and seems to be in a hurry.

"I hope someone found answers because I have no problem handing this situation over to Lucian," Seb speaks over them. "Also, this is my wife, Elara. You must give her the same amount of respect as me because we are equals. And I don't feel like killing anyone today so, please keep your eyes on me or your work."

"Understood, Sir," everyone answers.

I sit in the seat at the head of the table and begin thinking of what I want. I kinda want Korean food but I'm not sure how authentic it would be.

I'll order it anyway but he needs to hurry the hell up with this meeting. Everyone looks stressed and the talking gets progressively louder.

"Okay, okay! Enough!" Seb shouts impatiently. "I value every single one of my workers' lives but the urge I have to kill every one of you right now succeeds that.

Please locate the materials that I paid millions of dollars for before the day is out and with proof. Also, I need a list of those who missed work for any amount of days in the last few weeks. Now please get the hell out of my face."

Everyone gathers their stuff and rushes out of the meeting room. "Sounds like you need a new assistant around here," I mumble.

"Maybe, but I need a permanent assistant and preferably not my girlfriend.

I pout, "Why not? I'm like the best worker you ever had." He looks away and doesn't respond. "Baby, you know I am," I tell him, folding my arms.

"Maybe," he smiles. "Let's go get your food."

"I got enough for us to share because I know you would wait until dinner time to eat."

"Nope, I was just going to steal some of your food."

"Oh my gosh, I hate you," I playfully hit him.

"I hope you picked something delicious."

"We will see."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

"This looks yummy, baby. What is it?"

"Spicy Garlic Seafood Noddles..."

"Spicy rice cake skewers..."

"And cheese corn dogs."

"You're lucky you got enough because I would have stolen this." He deeply inhales the scent, "Damn, that smells good."

"Yes, it smells amazing. Who brought it?"

"My assistant."

"You send your assistant to get food?"

"Yes, baby. You have it good," he smirks.

"I know," I flip my hair, smiling.

He holds a skewer up to my mouth and says, "You have to taste this baby."

"I know what it tastes like, Seb." I giggle and take a bite.

"Delicious right?"

"Mhm." After chewing I say, "Oh, I checked your email and you have a meeting in like 20 minutes."

"I do?!"

"Yup! You also have loads of emails for meetings you missed this week."

"Let me look. They probably weren't important." He stands behind me and leans down to scroll on his computer. "What the hell? These are all of my top priority meetings. I'm firing Zabrina tomorrow, you're hired," he kisses my cheek. "Thank you, baby."

"Am I your best employee now?" I smirk.

"One hundred percent. I need a schedule and those meetings need to be rescheduled to-," I cut him off with my hand, "Not on my lunch break."

"Ok, but no attitude today please," he squeezes my thigh. "I might just give you a bonus."

I get excited, "Oooo, how much?!"

"I'll think about it."

"Is it an unlimited takis kinda bonus?"

"Yeah, I guess but you won't be buying all of that."

"I'm so not looking forward to a joined account," I roll my eyes.

"Why? It'll be fun."

"That's not fun, baby. It's all going to be your money."

"Nah, I'll keep my other business accounts separate so you're not too intimidated."

"It'll be our money anyway," I tell him but more to myself. I don't know how I would get used to calling his money, my money.

"Wait, since I technically own the company too, can I fire her?" I question.

"I'll have H. R. deal with that."

"Okay. Let's taste the corn dogs together. This is my first time having them and I've been dying to try these."

"Sure. I'll feed you and you feed me."

"Baby, you'll mess up my lipstick and your standing."

"I don't care, come on." He lifts me out of the chair and sits me on top of him so that I'm straddling him.

"I can never sit in a chair by myself."

"Maybe I just like my woman on top of me," he smirks.

I blush, "Shut up and give me the corn dog." He takes a bite of mine and I take a bite of his. After a few bites, our eyes widen.

"Yours is so good!" we say simultaneously and immediately laugh.

"I'm definitely getting this again before we leave," he says and grabs his phone.

"Baby, please eat so you can go to your meeting and focus. You have ten minutes," I tell him seriously.

"You really like bossing me around huh?" He snakes his hands around my waist.

"Seb, be serious please."

"Ok, love," he leans back into his seat just admiring me. "But first, will you go on a date with me tomorrow."

"Sure, but where?"

"It's a surprise."

"Ok, we'll see," I stand up and grab my food. "I'm going to call my sister and check on Isa." I lean down to his lips, "Have fun, I'll be in the conference room if you need me. Can I eat in there?"

"Of course, you can. I love you."

"I love you too."

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

"Hey, Isa. I wanted to know if there are any updates of what's going on."

"I assume Mr. Moldovan fired her because she hasn't been in for a week now and since she's left, everything has been great and everyone is happy."

"Awesome. Anything from Zara?"

"Um, she sent a resignation letter this morning and I had already hired a replacement. So, that's handled."

"Alright, thank you, Isa. Could you send me her letter so I can take a look at it?"

"Of course! I'll send it within the next 10 minutes."

"Perfect! I appreciate you so much."

"No problem, Elara."

"Alright, I'll let you get back to work. Mwah! Mwah!"

She giggles, "Okay, I'll talk to you later," she hangs up.

I am so happy everything is under control. As I look for Liza's contact, I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I shout and to my surprise it's Dana. "Oh, hey Dana! I didn't expect to see you here."

"Yeah, I just stopped by to drop something off and I thought I'd speak with you since we haven't had that talk." Oh no.

"Oh, well, ask away. I'm not doing much right now."

"It won't be long. I just got done dropping off Leona at her friend's house for a sleepover and I'm looking forward to having me time when I get home."

I giggle, "Understandable."

"The question I've been wanting to ask is are you completely happy with Emilian?"

Without hesitation, I respond smiling, "Yes, Dana I am happier than I have ever been and every day he makes me happier."

"I'm happy to hear that. He overthinks sometimes which causes him to make bad decisions that can ultimately hurt someone."

"Yeah, he's made that known and that's something we both agreed he will work on," I respond.

Her face softens, "Good because he's too proud to admit that to me."

I giggle, "That sounds like him."

"My next question is, do you understand the dangers of career and the effect it could have on you? I want to make sure that you understand the consequences of his lifestyle in the long run."

I sigh, "Yes, I'm coming to terms with it. It's a process but, he makes it easier. I ask for certain boundaries so that the illegal part of his life is separate, and he respects that."

She smiles genuinely, "I completely understand why he loves you. I can tell you guys communicate and I'm happy to know that."

"Well, you raised him so, thank you."

She places her hand on her heart, "I tried my best, and I'm so grateful he found someone that loves him for who he is and sticks with him no matter what. I appreciate you more than you could imagine."

I feel tears fall down my cheek and I wipe them. I did not realize that I started crying. "I try," I laugh as I cry like a baby.

"Awww, come here," she holds her arms out and we're both being emotional. "Why are we like this?"

The door flies open and Seb rushes in with a gun. "Seb, why are you pointing a gun at your mother and your girlfriend?!" I shout.

His eyes widen, "Oh," he tucks it back into the holster. "I heard crying and came to check on you. Mom, why are you still here?"

"Hush, I wanted to talk to my daughter-in-law."

He runs his hand through his hair, "Women stress me out."

"You're so dramatic," Dana says. "I'll see you later Elara. Thanks for the talk, I'll see you at home." She walks out, smacking Emilian on his arms, and mumbles something that I'm unable to hear.

After she's gone, he locks the door and walks up to me. "What were you guys talking about to lead to all of this crying?"

"You."

"Am I that bad of a son and boyfriend? Damn."

"No, stupid. Just know we both love you so, so much," I caress his cheek.

"I know," he smirks. "Who doesn't?"

"Many people, babes. Humble yourself."

"Mhm, ok," he rolls his eyes playfully. Do you want or need anything before we head out?"

"Uhhh, no I should be fine."

"Good, let's go now," he grabs my hand and leads us to the car.
