Alexis woke up and just didn't feel the best

She went about her morning routine but when it came to her smile she stared at herself in the mirror she flashed a very half assed smile before stepping out and getting dressed

She went to pull on a nice pair of pants but when she got them on she saw how unflattering they were on her tight in all the wrong places and loose on her curves

she sighed heavily taking them off she didn't wanna figure out another outfit she just pulled out a dress slipping that

She pulled on heels and tied her hair up in a pony tail

She stepped out Harry was at his bar eating some cantaloupe as he went through his email He noticed her he furrowed his eyebrows as she silently sat herself on the stool next him

"Good morning" he said

"Morning" she murmured he frowned deeply how unlike her

"Whats wrong dear? Are you not feeling well?" Mrs.Short reached over the bar to put the back of her hand and on Alexis's forehead

"She just had a hard day yesterday" Harry knew it may be a combination of things but most prominently it was what happened with her sister

"oh" Mrs.Short pouted "poor girl" she cooed "what can I do? Do you want some pancakes? Maybe some eggs? Both?"

"No thank you"

"Aw you gotta have something" Mrs.Short frowned deeply "Mr.Styles tell her" she gestured to Alexis speaking toward Harry

"How about some juice mm?" He asked

"That's fine"

"Do we have apple juice?" He knew that was her favorite

Mrs.Short went to the fridge "we don't" she frowned "we've got orange juice"

"I'll drink orange juice" Mrs.Short made her a glass Alexis sipped on it she drank only half of it before she stood and said "I'll meet you in the car"

Harry watched her walk out he looked at Mrs.Short "I want apple juice and a chocolate mousse cake by the time I'm home and make sure the cake is chilled she likes it cold" he picked up her glass finishing it passing it to Mrs.Short

He walked to the garage as he opened the door he turned "thank you" he added seeing as Alexis wasn't going to correct him or say it on his behalf

He slipped in with Alexis Hanley was talking with her she was giving simple one word answers

Once they walked in she put on a bright fake smile "good morning!" She chirped as if she had never been sad

"Good morning!" George greeted back

She slipped in the elevator with Harry people waiting for them to go because they didn't want to share the elevator with Harry she held her smile even after the doors closed with just the couple inside

he was intrigued at how easily she could fake this

He scanned over her face trying desperately to find even just a small hint to say this was obvious deception

Once the doors opened she waved to everyone speaking excitedly to her usuals Harry stepped into his office and opened the French doors she entered her office and as soon as the doors closed her face fell

"I don't like that..." he said as he leaned on in the doorway between their offices

"Like what?" She asked every ounce of cheerfulness drained from her voice
