"You told me I'd finally be able to meet him." I said to Ryder, annoyedly. Kicking my feet in the bubbles.

"I know I did Maz," Ryder said lighting the candles on my sink while I lit the one in my bath tub. "But," she said, reaching behind the bath curtain to get the lighter I had. "He was....Occupied, so to say." She said, turning the lights off so that the only light I had in my bathroom was from the candles. "Now I'm gonna go, you just relax, I have three French vanilla candles and one peppermint burning. I love you maz, I promise you'll meet him sometime." She said leaning behind the curtain and kissing my forehead.

"Okay, bye love you." I said.

Ryder and I had been best friends since pre school so we've seen each other naked and know each other's weird things. Like for instance, I enjoy candle lit bathes alone and she enjoys sex a lot. I also quite enjoy attractive men who are badass and intimidating, and she enjoys setting me up attractive men who are nice.

My marimba ringtone started blaring from next to me in the side of the tub, so I dried my hands and picked up the phone, not recognizing the number.
"Hello?" I questioned through the phone.

"Mrs. Grey?" The man on the other line questioned me.

"Um, actually this is Mazzy, Anas daughter. Can I help you?"

"Ah, Mazzy. Just the person I was hoping for." He stated. I pulled the phone away from my ear looking at the number, hoping caller ID would be there...it wasn't.

"Yeah, well you called my number. How can I help you sir?" I heard a sharp intake of breath on the other line, making me furrow my eyebrows. The man cleared is throat.

"Hi, my name is Louis Tomlinson, I'm the CEO of Tomlinson inc. You applied for a job at my firm and I thought I would interview you, I've done a lot of work with your father, he is quite the business man. He helped me get to where I am today and, well I've the biggest firm in the UK."

I could here his strong British accent through the line. Louis Tomlinson. Louis Tomlinson. Louis Tomlinson. I repeated his name in my head a gazillion times trying to figure out how I knew his name. And then is clicked.

"Mr. Tomlinson, I'm very sorry, but I didn't apply for a job." I said, muting my phone and yelling, "RYDER COME HERE!" Hoping she was still here. As she walked through the bathroom door I shushed her putting the phone on speaker so she could hear.

"I don't think I'm mistaking, Miss Grey. Mazzy Elisabeth Grey? Born on November 23 1991, daughter of Christian And Anastasia Grey? Phone number 736-649-8461? Or did I get the wrong person?" He spoke through the line in a very low voice, it was kinda hot.

"No you got me, but I didn't apply---" Ryder put her hands over my mouth so I was muffling my words.

"I applied for you, take the interview." She whispered very quietly.

"I'll take the interview!" I said once she removed her hands from my face.

"Great, how about we meet in two hours?" I looked at the clock, 7:00 pm.

"Sir, that will be 9:00 pm are you sure you wouldn't rather meet tomorrow?" I asked, nervously biting my nails.

"No ma'am. I need to either meet right now, or in two hours. And I know you're bathing so I figured two hours would be best." He said rushingly.

"How did you--" I was cut off by his speaking.

"I can hear the bath water running." He said through the phone.

"I'm sorry sir I just don't feel comfortable doing an interview so late at night..." I said as I shut off the bath water, looking at Ryder whose eyes were currently popping out of her head. She threw her arms in the air and mouthed "what the fuck" at me.

"I'm sorry Miss Grey it's either right now, in two hours or never." He said aggressively. I wasn't sure if I should trust Ryder and go to the interview so I stayed silent. "Miss Grey, are you still there?" He questioned and as I opened my mouth to answer Ryder cut me off.

"Yes Mr. Tomlinson, 9:00 o'clock sounds great! I'll see you then! Goodbye." She said taking the phone from my hands and hanging up.

"Are you fucking serious?!" I asked Ryder pissed off that she would do that. I have no clue who this guy is or why he wants to interview me. The only thing on my resume is the diner that I work at. So I don't quite understand. Maybe it's because he's done work with my parents? Maybe it's because he knows Ryder and Harry? Whatever the reason, I guess I'll be finding out in two hours.

----------------

So now I'm standing in an elevator that I don't wanna be in at 9:00 pm on the way to the top floor that I don't wanna go to, to see a man that I don't wanna see, so I can get a job that I don't want, in a pink dress that I don't like, with the keys to an Audi R8 that I hate in my hand. The elevator dinged indicating I could leave...if I wanted. I didn't really want too leave so I stood there awkwardly looking at my hands.

"Hello Miss, can I help you?" A gentleman asked. I looked up, locking eyes with a very handsome man, who I easily recognized as my idiotic brother sitting at the receptionist desks.

"Is that a ladies job?" I asked, smirking as I walked out of the elevator towards him. He rolled his eyes at me, opening his mouth to reply, only to be cut short.

"We'll Miss Grey, it sure is, although we don't have anybody to fill the position except for Zayn at the moment, so that's why you're here. Please follow me into my office." Mr. Tomlinson said turning his back to me before I could see his face. Looking back at it, also known as Zayn, he smiled and winked, mouthing "good luck" to me. I nodded back at him, silently thanking him.

Walking into Louis office I heard him ask me to "please shut the door." Doing as I'm told, I turn back around and see him leaning against his desk staring at me intently. "Hello Louis. It very nice to meet you." I said walking forward as I stuck my hand out to shake his, but he just looked at it, then trailed his eyes back up my body, lingering at my breasts, my lips, and then finally meeting my eyes.

"How nice to finally meet you as well, Miss Grey. I would appreciate it if you called me Mr. Tomlinson seeming how I'll be your boss soon. I've heard lots about you, you father is very proud of you. But he isn't who I hear from the most. As you know, our best friends are together and Ryder is very proud of you, you're about all she talks about and it gets quite annoying. But I can now see what all the fuss is about." He said licking his lips. I look down, bite my lip trying to keep my smile off my face.

"Shall we start with the interview?" I ask him, still looking down at my shoes.

"That can wait until tomorrow, let's start with this." He said grabbing my face and pulling it ups to meet his lips. I was in shock for a second before I realized what was happening. Pushing him back, I wiped my mouth off on the sleeve of this horrible pink dress.

"What the hell Louis?!" I asked, touching my lip and seeing blood on my fingertips. I notice Louis turn around and face his desk, walking around and quickly taking a seat.

"I'm so sorry Miss Grey, that was very uncalled for. Shall we start that interview now?" He asks. I nod, taking a seat across from him with my finger still covering my lips
