"Hey sis." I smile, she looks at me before turning around to open the door.

"Alana! Alana come on, just let me interview you!" I shout following her out of the room, I see her shaker head as she storms towards the elevators. A few workers stop and look at us,

"Get back to work!" I shout walking faster in my heels.

"I can't believe this." Alana says before stepping in the elevator, I follow her quickly and stand next to her.

"Alana, just let me interview you! I know how good you are."

"I came here for an interview with Emmi James, not Zoe Page."

"Holy shit, you don't know?" I ask her, she looks at me and frowns,

"Know what?"

"Alana, I am Emmi James." I say, the elevator doors open and she shakes her head.

"I can't believe you."

"Alana, this is my company! I started out as a way to get money for me and Hadley."

"Hadley?" She asks as we walk down the marble floored corridor towards the front of the building.

"Yes Hadley, my daughter." I answer, she freezes and turns to look at me.

"It was a girl?"

"Yes, born 1st August 2015."

"So she's 5?"

"Yeah, turned it 5 weeks ago."

"Huh," She says walking through the double doors, I groan and follow her through the doors, but I stop when I see.

"Look who I found! Let's go out to celebrate now." Alana says to everyone.

"So you got the job?" Ashton asks standing up, ignoring me.

"Of course I did, unless of course she wants everyone to know her name isn't Emmi James, it's Zoe Page." Alana smiles, I laugh and walk closer to her.

"You think you blackmail me?"

"Of course I can."

"You're in my world Alana Page, you can't blackmail me." I smirk stepping away and heading towards the double doors.

"If you want the job, you have to get interviewed for it." I say keeping the door open for her, she looks at Ashton before he pushes her towards me.

"Good, let's go to my office." I say slamming the door behind her.

"I like your designs." I say as I look through her book.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're hired." I say handing her it back and standing up. Prim looks up at me from the corner of the room with wide eyes.

"Really?"

"I know you Alana Page, I know your work ethic. You're hired. Be here tomorrow at 10 for an introduction, Prim will do it."

"Hi." Prim says to her, Alana smiles and waves at her.

"Let me show you out." I say, Alana's eyes linger on Hadley before walking through the door.

"She's gorgeous."

"Takes after me." I say, Alana frowns and I laugh.

"That's technically a compliment to you as well Alana, we look the exact same." I say elbowing her, she laughs and shakes her head rubbing her arm.

"I'm sorry for trying to blackmail you."

"I'm sorry for saying you're in my world."

"But I am in your world, I wear your clothes."

"Nothing you didn't do when we were younger."

"This is different and you know it."

"Congratulations on your engagement to Ashton." I say, she looks at me.

"How did you know?"

"You're wearing a ring."

"Oh yeah, it took him like a year and half to save up for it."

"It's beautiful."

"It's nothing like your ring! Why is it all black?"

"Black matches everything." I smile as we walk through the double doors, Ashton smiles as Alana nods and runs towards him.

"See you tomorrow at 10." I say looking at Calum for a second.

"Wait, are you doing anything?" Alana interrupts.

"Now?"

"Yeah."

"I've got to get Hadley home." I say.

"Hadley?" Calum asks standing up, I look at him and nod.

"She's here?"

"Yeah, she's upstairs."

"Oh." He says looking down.

"Calum, I want you to meet her. Just not yet, she doesn't understand the full story yet."

"You mean she calls your new fiancee dad."

"No, she calls him Alec." I frown, Calum smiles a little but stops.

"Since we are probably going to be seeing each other a lot because Alana works with me now, then I suppose, once I tell Alec everything, we can set up a day." I tell him.

"Thank you." He smiles.

"You're welcome, I'll see you tomorrow Alana."

"Thank you Zoe, Emmi." She stutters.

"Rule One." I say harshly, "If you call me Zoe in here then questions will be asked and you will be fired."

"Sorry." Alana says looking down.

"That was a joke, just make sure you don't slip." I laugh, she smiles and Ashton smiles thankfully at me,

"Thank you." He mouths, I nod my head.

"Well go on! Go celebrate!" I shout, Alana squeals and drags Ashton out of the building. Everyone followed behind but I notice one lingers.

"Hemmings" I ask.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"Making you leave."

"You didn't." I say feeling guilty.

"I-." He begins before he was is interrupted by Alec walking in.

"Hey babe." Alec says looking up from his phone, "Oh sorry."

"It's fine, I was just going. See you around... Emmi." He says before walking past Alec and out of the door.

"I finished early so I thought I'd come pick you and Hadley up and take you out for dinner, is that okay?"

"Of course, we have to get pizza and ice cream though. I promised." I say wrapping my arm around him.

"Push over." He says nudging my hip, I laugh and kiss him.

"I love you."

"I love you too." He smiles poking my nose with his finger.
