I lean against the wall arms crossed with a stern face, "You're late Alana Page. It's 10:09," I say as she walks out the elevator.
"Ashton's ill, I had to pry him off me," She explains. I raise my eyebrows and pull myself off the wall.
"Let's go Alana Page. Prim is in a meeting for me so I'm showing you around."
"Can she do that?" Alana says as she follows behind me.
"Of course she can."
"Wow," She mutters. I roll my eyes briefly before leading her towards the people she'll be working with.
"Team, meet Alana Page. She's the new assistant designer," I say as they turn to look at us, "Till Rachel comes back anyway, but who knows? Two may be better than one."
"Hi," Alana says waving awkwardly.
"Okay Alana, let me introduce you everyone, I'll show you around and then the team can explain what they're working on," I smile. She nods and smiles as I introduce her to her team before I lead her around the office.
"People respect you," Alana says.
"I sign their checks Alana, of course they do."
"Thank you for this Emmi."
"Prove to me that you can do this Alana and I'll keep you on, if not you're gone. Business is business, I have no room for people complaining if I keep you on and they find out you're my twin. You get treated just like everyone else," I tell her with a harsh glare.
"How have they not noticed?" She whispers.
"They do know, everyone knows I have a twin."
"What? How?"
"Because I told them years ago? Journalists have been looking for you for years. They wanna see just how alike we are, its strange. Anyway, back to work."
"Why would they look for me?"
"Because they wanna know everything Alana. They wanna know why Emmi James just appeared," I begin, "Now get to work."
"Yes Emmi," She whispers walking towards her office area. I lean against my office wall and question whether this was a good idea.
"Penny for your thoughts," Alec says as he comes around the corner, I look at him and smile.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Can I surprise my fiancé?" He asks wrapping his arms around my waist, I smile.
"Of course you can, but normally it's for reason."
"Yeah I need to ask you something," He laughs.
"Come my office," I wink opening the door. He smiles and leans down to kiss me.

"So I actually did come here to ask you something," Alec says as he re-ties his tie and I zip up my dress.
"Go for it."
"Hadley's dad, he was one of those people from last night wasn't he?" Alec asks, I turn to face him as he rocks back and forth.
"Yeah, how could you tell?"
"It was a few things really, I mean Hadley's dad has the same eyes as her, they have the same skin tone and face. Also, he was burning holes into me with his eyes."
"Ignore Calum, he's always been like that."
"Calum," Alec says, I nod and he smiles a bit, "I know what you're thinking Emmi James."
"You do?"
"Yeah. You want Hadley to meet him."
"Yeah I do actually," I laugh.
"You can sort all that out, but I think you and I need to talk about your past."
I swallow loudly, "My past? Why?"
"Emmi, we're getting married. I mean I know everyone knew you had a twin but the other stuff. How you got here, before we met, you never told me. I need to know," He whispers, I nod and sit him down before repeating the story that I told Prim the day before.
"Zoe Page," He repeats, I nod and he sits back to take it in.
"What are you gonna do if it ever comes out that you are called Zoe and not Emmi?"
"I'll just tell them I changed my name because I wanted to."
"Emmi-,"
"Alec, it is no-ones business about my past. All that matters is now."
"Is Emmi James your legal name?" Alec asks.
"Yes, I legally changed it when I moved."
"So if someone calls you Zoe, it's not right?"
"Right. Why?"
"Because when we get married, the priest has to say your legal name. I think it would shock everyone if I turn up with Emmi James but he calls you Zoe Page," He laughs, I smile and hug him.
"I thought you'd be angry," I whisper.
"I love you Emmi James, I don't care if you were born Zoe Page and you had a baby when you were 18, all that matters is now. You're my everything," He says. I smile and kiss him.
"We should set a date," I tell him, a smile forms on his face as his eyes light up.
"Really?"
"The only reason I wasn't setting one was because I was putting off telling you, but now you know and I want nothing more than to be your wife."
"I love you!"
"I love you too," I smile.

"How was your first day?" I ask Alana as we stand in the elevator on our way out the office.
"Good."
"Team nice?"
"Yeah, really welcoming."
"That's good," I say, "I'm getting married on November 7th."
"That's great!"
"You gonna help me design my dress."
"Oh my God that'd be amazing!" She shouts.
"And I'm gonna help design yours."
"What? No, I couldn't."
"When Rachel got married I helped her, now I'm helping you."
"Thank you Emmi," She smiles.
"It's fine, now go on. Ashton's ill."
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"9 tomorrow," I tell her, she smiles and nods before walking away.
