It's now six am and I'm in Luca's office before he heads off to work.

"I need a CV to get a job Luca, but everything I've done is as Lily not Ella, what am I meant to do?" I ask him

"Lie on your CV" he says

"But won't they check?" I ask

"I doubt it" he says, "I didn't have a CV before I applied to work for your father. I had five years of military experience that's it"

"But lying is wrong" i say

"Do you want a job?" He asks

"Yes but-"

"Then your going to have to lie" he interrupts and I pull a face at him

"I can do small lies but not big lies! Luca! You need to help me" i say

"There is nothing I can do, just say your interested in charity work. That's always a good one" he says

I sigh and he looks at me.

"All you have to do Lily, is write everything you have done. Get rid of its fancy name and say it how it is. There's no need for the fancy title" he says and i nod

"Okay" i say

"Good, now get ready for school"

"You need a job huh?" Alex asks as I sit down next to him

"Your not going to offer me one where I steal for money? Or like kill for money? Cause I'm not James Bond or some special agent apart of treadstone like Jason Bourne, even though that would be very cool" i ramble

"Mary is looking for a waitress" he says, "i went to see her to... it doesn't matter. I went to see her and she told me that her waitress quit to go to college so she's looking for someone"

"Really?" I ask and he nods

"Oh that's great!" I say

"It's just a job so don't get your hopes up" he says

"Way to put a downer on my mood" i say and he glances at me for a second

"It's my pleasure" he says

"Why are you so... mysterious?" I blurt out, out of nowhere

"What the fuck are you on about?" He asks me

"You know, you don't talk much" I say

"You talk too much" he says and i ignore his snide comment

"Know one knows a lot about you" i say

"And that's how I like it" he says

"I-" I begin but he cuts me off

"Just shut up" he says

"Okay" i say crossing one leg over the other and I look forward and I see him glance at me and he sighs.

He's going to say sorry.

God.

People can't stay mad at me.

I love this.

"What does it matter to you anyway?" He asks

"I just wanted to see if the rumours are true" i say and his head snaps to me

"What rumours?" He asks

"You know, that you have a third nipple" I say

"What the fuck?" He practically shouts, "do people think that?"
