All Emily wanted was to reunite with her childhood best friend Louis Tomlinson and work with him as promised. But when she finds out that her best friend doesnt "remember" her at all...... all that her mind is telling her is to say to his face, Rem...
"Can I help you miss?" the young looking short, blonde lady sitting at the reception desk asked me. "Uhh.... Yes, I'm here for the interview.." I said a little timidly. "Alright. Your name miss?" "Owen. Emily Owen." I said secretly laughing in my head at the famous James Bond reference. 'Alexia', as I read on her badge, didn't look amused as she started typing something on her computer; I didn't judge her right away though, maybe shes not a fan.... Oh well.
"Ok Miss Owen, pin this to your shirt and take the elevator to the 24th floor. Turn left as you exit the elevator and go to the desk. The lady there will give you further directions." Alexia said as she handed me my visitor badge. I flashed her a smile and said, "Thank you". She looked a little surprised at my comment but still gave me a simple smile before I made my way towards the elevator. Yay one step towards making a new friend.
Hey, I'm Emily Owen, I'm 22 and i have just finished UNI and moved to New York from England for a job. I'm not an only child, I have an older brother, Evan, who's 2 years elder to me. I have a normal family, just 2 parents happy with their 2 children.I was born in Lancashire and when i turned 5, we moved to another city called Doncaster. Now that's where I met him. That's where he became a part of my life. He who had eyes darker than the ocean, he who had stylishly messy dark hair, he who came out of nowhere and suddenly meant the world to me.
That's why I was here in New York applying for a job in Tomlinson Inc. Louis had always wanted to build a company of his own since we were kids. In the beginning we all thought it was a phase, like the one everyone has of being an astronaut. But even through our teenage years he started exploring more about business management. Once him and I were having a very serious conversation about it and he said, "You know when I'll have my own big company, I promise you'll be my right hand man... Woman actually!! You'll be the C.O.O (Chief Operating Officer)." So here I was to fulfill the promise.

As I keep thinking my elevator thoughts, the doors open to reveal the 24th floor. It was definitely bigger than the ground floor. I did as I was instructed by Alexia and turned left. There I saw a girl with dark brown hair, about 2-3 years older than me. I went ahead and asked her about the interview, "Hello my name is Samantha Reed but please call me Sam. If you would follow me into the waiting room i'll come and get you when its your turn. Alright here we are, just sit down and wait." she said in a pleasant but professional manner and went into a room on the far right of the corridor......... I like her.
As I sat down in the waiting room I saw that there were about 10 others here, wishing they could become a part of this multi-billion company. Though I was nervous, I wasn't worried.... I know, it is bad to do favoritism but... Come on I've known that guy practically my whole life..... but my résumé is also very attractive so.. either way.
I started to notice my surroundings and saw that even though everything was not black and white like the cliche it should be, it was still very classy with all the radiant lights. Just as I was starting to admire the ceiling, a door on the far right swung open and came out a petite brunette ready to crying her eyes out. This could obviously mean only one thing. Let's just hope the same doesn't happen to me.
After waiting for about ten minutes the door opened and Sam called out my name. "Alright. just go in there and everything will be fine." I told myself for the hundredth time. I started walking towards the door and Sam gave me a small smile which I returned.
I took a long breath in and pushed the door to reveal a big glass wall office with a sofa set on the left of the room near a wooden table and a large table and behind the table a boss looking chair and on that chair was my childhood friend. I lightly knocked on the wooden door to let him know my presence. "Come in" he said without looking up from some paperwork on his desk.
I silently walked a little closer and cleared my throat. He finally looked up from his desk and gave me an unreadable expression. "Yes, please take a seat." I furrowed my eyebrows a little as I found it very strange that he was being so formal with me. "Alright, now what's your name love?" he asked. And at that moment I was like, 'Come on he didn't just ask me that'. "Louis?!" I said a sounding a little stupefied. "It's Mr. Tomlinson for you love, don't you think?" he said sternly not meaning the last sentence as a question.
"Uhh..." I stuttered. "Anyway, name?" he asked again. "Emily O-owen" I said nervously. How does he not remember me?! We spent our childhood together! " Your resume looks impressive Miss Owen, but your attitude that you showcased today, not so much." he said being very professional while I just sat there looking dumbfounded. "What position are you aiming for?" "The COO...." I said a little uncertainly. He looked at me for moment and then started laughing. "The COO huh? yeah right, it'll be a very big deal if you even got a desk job here. Anyway as you know its Friday today so if you get selected we will inform you."
He gave me an expression which clearly said 'Get Out'. So I started hurriedly saying, "Uhm.. Thank you for your time Lou-uh.. Mr. Tomlinson. I'll be very fortunate if I get to umm..... work here." and I took all of my stuff and started heading for the door.
Outside, Sam was sitting on her desk and when she saw my panicking face she just gave me a smile which I had a hard time returning because of all the things going on in my head. I exited the building and started my journey towards my apartment.
But one thing that was constantly going through my mind is that, How the hell does he not Remember Me??
