Watching You

Harry's pov

I stepped out of the lift turning because I didn't hear Alexis's heels she was still rooted in place "Alexis" I called

Her head snapped up her eyes slightly wide what I would put in the dictionary next to the definition doe eyed I held a hand out to her she scurried over taking my hand looking right back at her phone

I walked us out to my car my driver held the door open she slipped in first I slipped in after she put on her seat belt then crossed her legs as she usually does

"How's this?" She passed me her phone

I read over the email it was in regards to the construction team and trying to get them to finish their construction of her office after hours, the room itself was up (done mostly while we were away on business) but the wiring and whatever else wasn't complete yet, I can't stand the drilling and other noise they make

especially since there's now an open hole in my wall because her room will be attached to mine by a set of frosted French doors

I liked how she sighed most of her emails differently I usually get 'your brilliant secretary', 'sincerely from the most beautiful woman you've ever known', and my personal favorite 'your surrogate smile'

This one was signed Thank You Kindly, Alexis Dixon ~Secretary to Mr.Styles "Good" I sent it for her and passed her her phone back

"I wanna stop for coffee" I called to the driver

"So you said you're having trouble with this one?" She furrowed her eyebrows

I nodded I'm not one to leave my office to make a deal or to host/join a meeting ,except for a dear friend (Niall), but this was proving to be a hard bargain "he doesn't want to sell to me"

"Why?"

I rolled my jaw "he called me a fat cat and said he doesn't do business with big industry"

She raised her eyebrows "he's an older man then I take it"

"About 70 yes thick southern accent bushy white beard the works"

She laughed "oh so he's a good old boy?"

I furrowed my eyebrows "I don't know what that means"

"Is he country?" I nodded she nodded back "I got this"

I tilted my head "what?"

She held up a hand "my PawPaw was a good old country boy and I spent nearly all my childhood with him I guarantee I've got this"

I shook my head "Ms.Dixon I'll clarify- Mr.Marley doesn't like me ,at all, this is just a last ditch effort I don't think I'm going to get it"

She laughed "Mr.Styles I can charm the pants off anyone I'd think you'd know that by now"

We pulled up in the drive through I ordered a coffee "what do you want darling?" I hummed but mentally scolded myself for slipping up again she just smiled and shrugged

"Whatever you got me last time" I repeated that order she blurted "and get a cookie" I ordered a cookie we drove up and the driver passed us our drinks and the cookie I watched her roll the top of the bag up and stick it in her purse

"you can eat in here" I trusted her not to make a mess

"It's not for me"

"Then who's it for?"

"Mr.Marley" she smirked

I don't understand her but whatever

"Thank you for the drink too Mr.Styles I really appreciate it" she said oh so sweetly
