RUBY

okay that's really not what I needed right now, but I don't think I have a choice other than just act confident

this Styles guy is literally looking into my soul, but I play it off with a little smirk and go to shake his hand, "Mr. Styles, Ruby Hart, soon to be the new addition to your band" I state confidently, when in reality I hate every fucking minute of it

"Harry Styles, but you already know that" taking my hand with a firm shake, still analyzing my face, but keeps a sadistic smirk on his face, mimicking mine

"well, Ruby, you're here for one thing, so here are the papers you need to sign, take your time reading them, I'll leave you two to it" Mr. Jenson cuts in, breaking our staring content and standing up from his seat, walking his way to the door

wait leave?!

"will do" keeping a calm state on the outside, I cross my legs on each other and start reading my contract, stating my job and what I need and needn't do, feeling Harry's stare on me still, I look up at him

"cam I help you?" I ask cockily, if this man is the same man he was a couple years ago, then he will be very mad, but I don't care, I here to sign a contract for my new job, not be stared at by this 27 year old wanker

"you think I don't remember you, blondie?" he suddenly says, looking down at his tattoo covered hand, playing with the numerous rings on all five of his fingers

I smirk, keeping my confident wall up, "do I look like someone you can forget, Mr. Styles?" leaning forward in my chair, uncrossing my legs and leaning my elbows on my knees, looking right into his electric green ones, watching his jaw tighten, I knew I hit a soft spot in his controlling brain

"you think you're so confident, blondie?" he leans forward too, our faces almost touching, making it look like a big fight scene is coming in a movie, but in reality I'm just busting my boss' balls

he's so fucking full of himself I can just smack that smirk right off his face

"I'm sure of it" I say back, making his face fall and the same look he had on his face when I first met him 4 years ago, making my smirk bigger, knowing exactly what I'm doing to this arrogant man

I lean back in my seat, going back to what I was originally doing, grabbing a pen off the desk, linking eyes with Styles again

before I even processed my own actions, I licked the tip of the pen, still looking him right in the eyes before looking back down to sign the papers sitting in my lap

okay, Ruby that was a lot, even for you

but then I heard it

the smallest groan I heard in my entire life

coming from the man before my very eyes

I didn't know if that was anger or he thought I was seducing him, but the only part I cared about was that I got a reaction out of him

smirking to myself, I put the signed contract on Mr. Jenson's desk, and standing up to my feet

not that much shorter than me sitting down, Harry looked up at me, anger filling his darkening green eyes

"see you on tour, Mr. Styles" I smirked one last time before making my way to the door and walking out, closing it behind me I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding

mission accomplished

walking my anxious body through the building back to my car, last thought in my head was how much tension this tour is gonna be filled with

and I'm living in it for a while 

nothing I can't handle with some great acting skills

which I thankfully have
