workplace.
As she walked into the upmarket coffee shop, the lady behind the counter asked her for her order and Kylie requested what she wanted. The woman let out a small laugh but went through with the order. Once it was ready, Kylie quickly paid the woman thanking her, and then she walked back with the bag of food clutched in her hands.
She was nervous, she knew this was her chance of making him remember without telling him straight out, and she just hoped that it would work.
She rode the lift up to the top floor and as each number lit up, above the door; her heart would skip a beat, until she was finally walking out onto the top floor. Rachel smiled at her as she walked passed and Kylie knocked on the door and waited to be told to come in.
Kylie placed the bag of food down on the desk and waited for Christopher to look up.
"I've brought you something different for lunch." She said, when he made no attempt at greeting her or even acknowledging the fact that she was there.
"Why?" Christopher said, looking at the bag, as though it was dangerous.
"I just thought you might like a change from sushi." Kylie said, smiling and shrugging.
"Well Kylie, I don't pay you to think, I pay you to do." Christopher said with an angry edge to his tone. He pulled over the bag and looked in it.
"What the hell is this?" He asked, the anger in his tone rising.
"PB and J sandwiches." Kylie said with a devious grin on her face. Kylie had remembered that when they had been growing up, they had been his favourite. For weeks straight he would refuse to eat anything but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She hoped that this little reminder would be the thing to jog his memory.
"Do I look like the type of person who eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" Christopher demanded as he pushed the bag away. "I mean are you actually that stupid as to think I would eat that?" He continued when Kylie didn't reply.
His words cut through her like a knife, not only did he not remember her, but he also revealed himself to be cruel. Nothing like the boy she grew up with and knew so well.
"I pay you to do as I ask, if you want to keep your job, then I suggest actually doing it in future." Christopher said coldly.
Kylie could hardly believe what he was saying. At first she didn't say anything, the shock freezing her to the spot, but then as the shock wore off it got replaced with something else, anger. Who was he to make out that she was stupid? He was the one who couldn't even remember his childhood best friend.
"Well, Noah, they used to be your favourite." She said slowly, letting every last syllable hang in the air.
"What did you call me?" He said, his eyes narrowing into hers.
"Noah." She said, waiting for his response. His eyes held hers as the moments slipped by, neither of them had said anything, for what like an impossible and amount of time.
Then just ask Kylie was going to turn around and walk right out of the office, a look in Christopher's eyes told her to wait.
"Kylie?" He said, almost in disbelief.
"You know what Noah, screw your job and your new life and everything that comes with it, I quit!" Kylie said, the words falling out of her mouth, before her brain could even process them.
He had humiliated her, scolded her and he was clearly a different person now. In that moment Kylie didn't even care that he had finally remembered her, all she wanted to do was leave. She turned around, as soon as she had finished speaking and stormed out of his office.
She could hear Noah calling out her name, as she walked right passed Rachel, who had looked up from her computer screen in confusion over what was going on. She stepped into the elevator slamming her hand on the lobby button. She could feel her whole body trembling with the after effects of what had just happened, as she practically ran into the New York street.
