The dark green eyes staring at me caused my to freeze. He held his hand out to me which I took after some time of staring at his empty palm. He pulled me to my feet with one swift tug nearly knocking the wind out of me. "You should be more careful next time" He walks to the large table centured in the middle of the room sitting on one end of it.

I walk over to one of the chair sitting down in it. What do I say? I'm at a loss for words with this man in front of me. Everything that I thought I would be able to say magically washed away by him.

The questions! Ask him those Niall

I pull out the questions and the recorder placing them both on the table. I looked up noticing that he was staring at me. His lips formed in a hard line making me feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Are you ready?" His lips twitched as if he was trying to smile but he didn't. I wish he had though I wouldn't feel as intimidated by him then.

"Yes Mr. Payne I am ready"

"Oh no...I'm not Liam. Mr. Payne has been under the weather for a bit so he sent me as his replacement. I'm Niall Horan" He nods, his finger caressing the stubble on his chin I wish he would stop doing that. It's distracting. I turn my attention to the paper in front of me and ask the first question my eyes land on. "How do you think you become so successful?"

He takes no time to think about his answer. "I made the right investments, worked with the right people. Together we were able to create the perfect empire. You just have to make the right decisions and choices to get to where you imagine yourself in life."

I look down at the paper once again. "What is one thing you would change about your life"

"Not a thing. I enjoy the power I have." His thumb runs over his bottom lip and my stomach turns. Must he continue touching his face?

I slide my fingers down the side of the paper and skip a couple questions. "Your family is a large part of your so called empire correct?" He nods simply. "Do you think you would have been able to put your empire together without them?"

"No Mr. Horan I don't." The way my name falls from his tongue causes me to shudder. Get it together Niall. My eyes run over the paper and I ask the first question I see.

"Are you gay?" Wait... What! Damn it Liam. I look up once I hear the sound of laughter filling the small office.

"Yes Mr. Horan I am indeed" His eyes burn into mine and reach over turning off the recorder. I need to get out of here... And quick. Before I stand he cuts me off. "Tell me about yourself... I want to know about you"

Why would he want to know anything about me? I decide to tell him the truth. "There's nothing very interesting about me... I mean look at me"

His green eyes lighten and a small smile plays on his lips. "I am"

I look down at set the recorder ontop of the paper. A slight knock sounds from the door and we both turn towards it. The brunette from before peaks her head in. "Mr.  Styles your next meeting is here"

"Cancel it. We aren't finished here" He says pushing his hair from his face. I quickly shake my head. I don't want to stay here any longer just to make a fool out of myself.

"No Mr. Styles I think I should get going. Thank you for the interview. I will see you before the ceremony in a few months" I stand feeling as if I had spoken a lot quicker than I had planned. He nods standing to his feet fixing the tie around his neck.

"Let me walk you to the elevator" I let him do so and we walk out the door together. His arm slightly draped around my lower back. A spark flies up my back but I ignore it and he presses the elevator button for me.

The doors open and I step into the elevator. Just as the doors begin to shut he sends me a small smile. "I'll see you soon Mr. Horan"
