Chapter 5 In Denial

• POV(HANNAH),
• His intense gaze on my head made me feel he knew me for a second, of course it would sound crazy if he doesn't remember our one night stand, but this wasn't happening right now, I'm not ready face this humiliation, and especially not to someone who treated me worse back in high school, I just wanted this job, at least to pay for Liam's medical bill, on a normal day I would just get out of this annoying place but this was life, and for Liam I would do anything even though it meant denying something so crucial to me.
• I am not the same girl he had a one night stand with, I'm Hannah, "Good morning," I greeted trying not to make things tense and uncomfortable but his smirk that soon carved into a wicked frown terrified me.
• He walked to me slowly without saying a word and I tried to hide my face by staring at my feet, "have we met before?" He asked and stopped a few inches away from me.
• My heartbeat raced faster and faster and it felt like my heart would burst out of my chest, I tried to keep a calm look even though i was literally sweating under the air conditioner.
• "I...i don't think so, this is the first time I'm seeing you," I lied trying not to stammer even though it seemed obvious, "I guess they let anyone in here," he said and I looked up in annoyance, "what do you mean?" I asked with a frown but his annoying expression was far from nice, I needed this job so I just stayed calm.
• "Enough with the pretense, I never knew a slut could get a degree, you can lie all you want but I cannot forget that face, and that tiny moaning voice from that night" he said and tears welled up in my eyes awakening the past memories back in high school, this was a trick and I wouldn't fall for it, he just wanted to make me admit it, but I want this job so bad that I would still deny it.
• "I'm not pretending, I just don't know you," I said tears threatening to fall but I held them back, my whole life, he had always been the reason for my embarrassments, why now of all times would he show up in my life as my one night stand and someone that had the key to what I wanted, I just have to hold on, I just have to keep denying it.
• "Is this all you're worth? A slut? You look so professional and neat on first glance but that night was one dirty and slutty side of yours, and now you have to deny it when I'm being honest?" He yelled and slammed the table his words piercing through my heart like a blade.
• "I haven't met you before and I don't know what you're talking about," I lied again and he glared at me, "now I'm going to give you two choices, it is either you admit you're the girl from that night and get the job or you walk out of here and loose all chances of getting the job, so are you the girl or not?" he said with a smirk and I frowned, I would not drag my dignity in the mud just for a job.
• "I've had enough!," I yelled and barged out of the office leaving the door open as I bursted into the buzzling street and headed straight to the subway without looking back, this was the path I choose to go and nothing could make me turn back, not when he thought of me as a slut and dirty.

• POV(ETHAN),
• My brows arched as I breathed heavily, "Get out!" I yelled at the woman next for the interview and slammed my palm on the table as I watched her her leave, different thoughts engulfed me.
• Why on earth would she choose to deny that night of all things, maybe she wasn't who I thought she was, she was just a slut who doesn't want her identity revealed at an interview, either ways, if only she begged me for the job,I could have considered giving her the job, it shows how unprofessional she is, but either ways, she's going to come back and beg for the job.
• Just what I thought, but it's been an hour, i felt indebted to her but in the other hand I felt unapologetic for my actions since she was unwilling to admit to what she's done, a slut is a slut, I blame myself for doing what I did that night.
