Emelia’s Point of View. “Ms. Ramirez, As much as I would love to work with you, I don’t think you have man references I can actually work with.” He said to me as I swallowed hard, just minutes ago he was ready to talk to Eleanor but had no interest with working with me? “Mr. Rodriguez… I can assure you that you won’t be…” I try to convince him but he just checked his watch looking at me. “I am sorry. But I am going to be late for a meeting” He said to me as I nodded my head smiling at myself. “Thank you for your time” I grabbed my things and walked out of the office, How could he waste my time like that? Should I have pretend to be someone else?After leaving the office I decided to go back home, my day was ruined. I needed to sort out my thoughts then go to visit Valerie. I pulled over in the yard making my way inside the house, I stopped in my tracks looking at mum as she stared at the bottle o0f whiskey. When did she start drinking g again? “Mum?” I called out to her as I

Emelia's Point of View“Good morning” my mother happily said as I pulled over the covers to cover my head. I didn’t have the energy to do this right now.“Emelia. Wake up” she tried to wake me up as I groaned closing my eyes very tight.“Mum, please let me sleep. A few more minutes” I said with a perpetually tired voice to her so that I could at least rest for a few more hours.‘Emelia it’s already 11 am. What time did you sleep?” She asked me as I realized that I am meant to be awake.“Mum! Why didn’t anyone wake me up” I exclaimed as I threw off the covers> Mum moved away from the bed as I quickly rushed to the bathroom to check on my face.“What time is it exactly?” I questioned her“11:13” “What’s wrong?” Mum asked me as I went around the room rushing.“I have a meeting in fifteen minutes' time mum and I will be doing a presentation” I panicked as I brushed my teeth. After I finished, I brushed my hair and then went to get a hair band to tie my hair behind.“Do you want me to

Emelia’s Point of viewAfter I received the call form mum, I drove as fast as I could to the house. I had just finished doing what she wanted me to do now it was time for me to move on with my life.I arrived home and barged in the house looking for mum. I really hoped she wasn’t drinking. “Mum?” I shouted looking for her as I turned on the light.“”Mum?” I shouted as I went to the bar but she wasn’t there. I looked in the kitchen before heading to her room.“MUM!” I knocked before opening the door and letting myself in, I found she was on the bed sobbing silently.“Mum? What happened?” I questioned her as I sat down on the bed and she sniffed back as she shook her head.“Your sister. She… She...” She stuttered before breaking down again as I swallowed hard wondering what really happened.“I wanted to cancel the fashion show when I spoke to the one organizer it. She said that there’s no refund if we decide to go ahead with cancelling everything” Mum said to me as I nodded my h

Emelia’s Point of viewI stood frozen as I looked at Liam, I didn’t know how to respond or say to him because he had just caught me off guard. What in heaven’s name was he doing here? My throat was dry. I didn’t know how to go about it because at this point I couldn’t explain what I was doing with these designs.‘Uh... I do have an interest. Something that I do when I am free” I said with a controlled smile, he nodded his head mouthing an ‘oh’ as I nodded my head.“That’s good. I should probably get some advice from you sometimes” He said as I chuckled looking around the parking lot. “Sure. So what are you doing here?” I asked him as he sighed heavily/‘I am here to meet someone for coffee. Want to join?” He offered me with a smile on his face., I shook my head thinking I shouldn’t even bother to go with him.“No thanks. I have to go right now” I declined his offer knowing I couldn’t keep up with my acting for too long.“Shame. Maybe another day?” He asked me as I nodded my head.

Emelia’s Point of viewDays laterLast night after getting home, mum today me that Liam Anderson wanted to meet me. By me, I mean Eleanor. I must admit that Eleanor’s job was exhausting maybe that’s why she ran away.I woke up real early to go for my morning Jog. I sighed heavily thinking of how I might not be the one to be with Liam.After running back home, I went straight to take a shower in the room. “Good morning” I heard Mum’s voice shout from the bedroom as I sighed heavily.“Morning Mum” I replied turning off the taps as I opened the glass door stepping out of the bathroom.“You are leaving early today?’ She asked me as I gave her an affirmative nod. “Have to meet a client of mine before they fly out so yeah” I explained wiping my hair.“Any news on Eleanor?” I asked her. She shook her head.“Mum? We only have a few days, what will happen after that?” I asked her she swallowed hard coming closer to me. I knew that look and what it meant.“I know that I am being a terrible
