"MUMMY!" Hadley screams running away from her teacher and over to me, I smile and scoop her into my arms.

"Hey baby girl, how was your day?" I ask her.

"It was good, I thought Alec was picking me up." She answers.

"He had a last minute meeting so I thought I'd come pick you up."

"Hi Auntie Primrose."

"Hey Hadley, how's my favourite 5 year old doing?" She asks tickling her so she squirmed in my grip.

"Good! Are we going to your office?" Hadley asks looking at me, I nod and she stops smiling.

"But you are going to stay with me and you can draw, or paint."

"I want to paint." She says as I thank her teacher and take her to the car.

"Okay you and Auntie Prim can paint while I interview people, then we can go get ice cream or pizza." I say as we start to drive back to the office.

"Both."

"Both?"

"Pizza and ice cream."

"As long as you won't be sick," I say looking at her, she pulls a puppy dog face and shakes her head.

"I won't! I promise."

"Okay, we can get both," I sigh.

"Push over," Prim laughs, I elbow her as she laughs loudly with Hadley.

"Okay, how many more candidates?" I sigh collapsing into the couch next to Prim, Hadley was painting on the coffee table in front of us.

"Just one more."

"I hope she's good."

"You should know," Prim mutters, I sit up abruptly and look at Prim with warning eyes.

"Why should I know?"

"Hm?"

"Don't play dumb Prim, why should I know?" I ask.

"Your next candidate is called-," Prim begins before a knock on the door interrupts her.

"Hi, my names Alana Page, I'm here to see Emmi James about the job as assistant designer? The receptionist told me to come straight in." Alana says looking at her feet, I glare at Prim before standing up and fixing my pencil skirt.

"First rule of an interview Al, never look at your feet." I say, Alana looks up and freezes.

"Zoe?" She asks shocked.
