I looked up at this man and noticed he had a confused and slightly worried look on his face. Maybe that was because I looked like an idiot blinking as though i'm watching a tutorial on "how to blink for beginners." My head was spinning, this guy was spinning, the floor was spinning. I felt blackness surround me, I could no longer hold my own weight.

I felt a pair of strong hands catch me as I fell backwards; i wasn't completely out this time. My blurred vision met his concerned eyes and his body was leaned towards me, towering over me. One of his hands was around my waist whilst the other was lightly tapping my face; I didn't realise at first.
"Ay... are you okay?? Can you hear me??"

Oh right, he's talking to me. As i came to my full senses i replied "what... yes don't worry i'm fine." He let go of my face and lightly kept hold of me as i dragged myself up. I was embarrassed, I was confused, I was slightly scared but at the same time not scared of this man stood in front of me. I was... ONE MINUTE LATE TO MY INTERVIEW!!
"Hey uhh.. thanks for helping me i guess but i gotta run."

"Are you sure you're good? Oh and my name is Ne-"

Neither did i have time to answer him and nor did i want to maintain a conversation with a man for any longer than i just did. I took off before he could finish his sentence, but I was slightly curious... what did he say his name was??

I sped towards the elevator and pressed floor 4.
"Floor 4, Meeting Room D." I reassured myself.
"Look Avni Ayesha, you may be hungover and fainted twice and you may be 2 minutes late to this interview... but it's gonna be okay." I talked to the mirror.
