3.3 Mistakes

"Hadley come on! We're going to be late!" I shout up the stairs as I hear her little feet running from room to room,

"Coming!" She shouts excitedly as I watch her jump down the stairs.

"Are you ready to spend the day with mummy?" I ask her, she nods excitedly and fixes her backpack with a smile on her face. School had been cancelled because of lack of teachers.

"You've got to be on your best behaviour today," I tell her as buckle her up, she nods and smiles kissing my nose.

"I will!" She shouts, I pull away as she screams in my ear and laugh shaking my head.

"Not so loud when mummy is close okay?"

"Okay!" She says picking her Barbie doll up and playing with it. I smile at her briefly before getting into the front and starting to drive to work.

"Mum? What are you doing here?" I ask her as Hadley and I walk into the building.

"Nanny!" Hadley screams running to her, mum smiles and picks her up before looking at me.

"I got a phone call."

"Congrats mum," I laugh as we walk into the lift.

"From your father."

"Dad? What does he want?"

"To see you. He said Alana is working for you."

"Yeah she is, Assistant Designer."

"Is that a good idea?"

"Yeah, I told her if she fucks up she's gone. This is business not family."

"Harsh," Mum laughs as she puts Hadley down so she could go see Fern, my assistant.

"Exactly," I smile as we walk towards my office.

"When does he want to see me?" I ask as I look through my emails.

"He wants to take you out for dinner tonight."

"Fine."

"Really?"

"Yeah," I say shrugging my shoulders and picking up my sketch book.

"That was surprisingly easy," She laughs standing up, "Anyway, I have to go now because Edward and I are looking at houses."

"Have fun."

"I always do," She smiles hugging Hadley outside before leaving.

"Come on Had, let's stop annoying Fern and go make mummy's wedding dress," I say smiling sympathetically at Fern. She mouths a thank you as I hold Hadley's hand as we walk towards Alana's office.

"It's empty mummy," Hadley says as I frown.

"JAMES! Is Alana in yet?" I shout, he jumps and shakes his head.

"Mind Hadley for a second," I snap as James nods his head and I storm out of the office and towards the lift.

"Alana Page, I said 9. It's 10, this is the second time you're late," I snap to her voice mail. Huffing loudly I walk to the front reception before shaking my head.

"ALANA PAGE!" I shout loudly, everyone jumps and looks at me.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" She shouts, I glare harshly at her before looking at the others.

"This is a working place Alana Page. You don't need your friends to drop you off everyday you are 23 years old for God's sake," I snap.

"Sorry."
