Weird chapter but bare with me ha.

"Hi this is Blakes phone, just leave a message and I'll try and get back to you."

"He's not picking up!" I scowl.

Taylor yawns tiredly. "Give it a rest. Try again in the morning. It's one in the morning Liss."

"I'm worried about him. like what the hell does he mean?!" I gape at her and Taylor continues to yawn.

"Go to bed. You think too much in the middle of the night." Taylor says. "Go to bed." She grabs my phone off me and continues on to her room.

It took me awhile to fall asleep, and when I did, it felt like I had no rest at all when I got to work.

I was on edge the whole time and I hadn't seen Zayn till around 9 in the morning.

Before he got here, I had been trying to ring Blake again, but he's not picking up.

"Alissa?" Victoria pops her head through my door and I look up at her and fake a smile.

"Yes?"

"Zayn and I are going to a meeting in ten minutes at the Medal. Would you mine sorting out Zayns ins and outs in his office while I'm gone?"

I nod hesitantly. "Yeah sure."

"Thank you." She frowns before turning away. "Are you okay?"

I nod again. "I'm fine. Why?"

"You just seem tense." She smiles nervously at me before walking back to her own desk.

I look down at my phone and sigh as the worry of Blake bubbles up in me again.

What did Zayn do to Blake? Why does he want me?! Maybe Blake was just pulling a joke, yeah. That sounds realistic.

But then again, it doesn't. I run my hands through my hair in frustration and sigh annoyed as the distraught pools at the pit of my stomach.

What does Zayn really do?

Since day one, this whole job has been so sketchy and I haven't even opened my eyes to consider something is definitely wrong

I stand from my seat and walk into the main room to see Zayn and Victoria walking into the elevator.

Thanks for the warning.

After seeing the elevator finally in the main floor, I take a deep breath and walk into Zayns office.

My heart is pounding so fast.

All I need to do is just search through his draws and then go.

But I'm so nervous. What if he comes back? What if someone comes in? I can't!

I shake my head and walk out to secure myself with the files that Victoria was talking about earlier.

My eyes are skating around the room more than often and it would definitely make someone question my sanity.

I'm so confused though, I can't help but feel this way.

My phone vibrates on my desk and I check to see who it's is. I widen my gaze as I see it's from Blake.

**Please stop calling. You're only making this harder for us.

I frown in confusion.

What the hell is going on?!

I do the complete opposite. I call him straight away but he doesn't pick up.

I send him a text this time.
