8 Noah’s weak heart

Satisfied with Kenny's obedient behaviour, Noah smiled and patted his shoulder. "Good job shredder boy, I'll surely reward you later."

Giving him a weak smile, Kenny increased his pace but as soon as he started shredding the resumes, Sebastian approached them.

Noah widened his eyes in shock when he saw him coming towards them.

"Shred damnit, faster." he muttered. What would happen if Sebastian found out what was shredding in the machine? He shivered at the thought of being caught before he completed his mission.

"Shred faster," Noah murmured before giving Sebastian a smile, "Oh so you finished copying?"

When Sebastian nodded his head, he added, "Oh what a coincidence, even we are almost done shredding."

With his hands palms and back turning sweaty, Kenny was about to shred the last resume when Sebastian snatched it from his hand.

Kenny's soul almost left his body while Noah cursed his bad fate under his breath.

Going through the document, Sebastian frowned, "This is a resume? Why are you shredding resumes?"

"Resumes?" Noah shouted before taking the paper from Sebastian's hand. He then faked a gasp and shouted, "Oh my God, isn't this Ellie Miller's resume? That means Kenny has been shredding the resumes of the interviewees that we interviewed today."

Without waiting for anyone's reply, he turned towards Kenny and frowned, "How can you be so careless? What happened to checking the red cross before putting them inside the shredder?"

When Kenny gave him an astonished look, he snapped, "What? You don't have anything to say now? Do you know what you just did? Now all we have is this unpunctual, big mouth and clumsy woman's resume. Now we have no choice but to hire her. You, Kenny shredder guy have left us with no choice."

Turning towards Noah, Sebastian fumed, "How did these end up inside my shredding stack?"

Noah frowned and widened his eyes in shock, "Wait what? Are you asking me? What? How me? I mean why me?"

Without waiting for Sebastian's reply, he added, "This stack is yours, the papers are yours. In fact, you were the one who gave Kenny instructions to shred them and now when things got messed up, you are blaming me?"

Grasping his chest, Noah closed his eyes. "You know how weak my heart is but yet you always hurt me Sebastian. I love you so much but yet you-"

Without waiting for him to finish his dramatic speech, Sebastian rushed out of the copy room.

Patting Kenny's shoulder, Noah grinned, "You did a great job pal, extra bonus for you this month."

…...

Reception.

"Where are the resumes?" Sebastian asked.

Patricia frowned and was about to say something when Noah, who was standing right behind Sebastian joined his hands together and begged her to save him.

Clearing her throat, Patricia scratched her forehead and answered, "I remember placing them on your desk after you left for your afternoon meeting."

Noah breathed a sigh of relief and was showering flying kisses towards Patricia when Sebastian turned back.

With his palm pressed against his lips, Noah froze. Not wanting to get caught, he pretended to wipe his mouth and helplessly shook his head. "I think I forgot to wipe my mouth after eating."

After taking a deep breath, Sebastian turned towards Patricia and asked, "Do we have the data?"

When she shook her head, he frowned turned towards Noah, "You are doing this on purpose aren't you?"

Patting his chest, Noah frowned and murmured, "Weak heart."

After taking a deep breath, Sebastian murmured, "Unbelievable." before walking away.

After he left, Patricia sighed and helplessly shook her head, "Will you ever let him stay at peace?"

Spreading his arms, Noah grinned, "He is always at peace when he is with me."
