Foreign Affairs |H.S.|

Chapter 7

I woke up to the sound of water running in the bathroom. Of course Alexa was already awake.

"Morning baby cakes," she said with her mouth full of toothpaste and her toothbrush.

"Hey," I replied sleepily.

"You wanna come with me to Starbucks? I saw one like 5 minutes away..walking distance. Perfect for exercise."

"When?"

"Now!"

"Well I have to take a shower and stuff too!"

"I'll give you 20 minutes before I'm out."

"Oh my god, Alexa." I rushed to my suitcase, trying to find a casual outfit. Perfect. High waisted jeans and a short sleeved, black crop top. Black heel boots? Definite yes.

I took and shower and threw my hair into a messy bun after throwing my clothes on. I briefly brushed and came out of the bathroom, just as Alexa was about to holler my name again for the fifth time.

"Okay, I'm ready," I sighed.

"Great, cause I need my coffee!"

We left out of the hotel and got walked a few blocks before we reached Starbucks. Then I saw this tall building right next to it. It said "H.S. & Co." There was a sign on the window in rushed lettering that said, "Hiring." I really needed a job..

"Alexa, c'mon let's check this place out," I said to Alexa who was taking long strides ahead of me.

"Check what out?"

"This place! It says 'Hiring'."

"Seriously?"

"What?"

"You're seriously considering a job... In England..."

"I don't care where it is. I just wanna check it out."

"Fine," she huffed and she trampled back over to me.

I opened the door to wooden floors, a giant entrance, and white wall and bright fluorescent lights. It was so quiet. All you heard was the ringing of phones, and typing.

"May I help you?" a lady behind the desk asked. I looked at the name. Orian. Hmm..interesting name. She had caramel skin, and she had both sides of her head shaved but the rest of her thick black hair was pushed into a hump.. It looked really nice on her. She had wide dark brown eyes, and a cat eye that framed them perfectly. She was really pretty.

"Uhh, yeah, I saw you all's hiring sign out there," I said pointing behind me at the window.

"Oh, of course," she said. " I'll call the boss in for you."

She picked up the receiver and pushed some buttons before finally saying, "Mr. Styles, can you come to the main lobby please? There's a young woman here for the job offer." She put the phone down and smiled at me. "He'll be here shortly. You can have a seat if you'd like. Would you two like any coffee?"

"Yes, please," Alexa said quickly.

"You ma'am?"

"No thanks," I said folding my arms. Although I had on a sweater I was freezing.

A few moments later I heard a door open. I looked up to see a familiar face walking down the hallway. It was the guy from the club..
