Mystery Buyer (L.S)

Twenty One

The drive home was a complete blur to Harry and his mind was filled with thoughts and memories of a fluffy haired and shy Louis. Thinking back, he wasn't even sure if he had stopped for any red lights as he made his way home.

He got home to the majority of this work team already at his house, just kind of stood around in his kitchen area. They had of course helped themselves to drinks but otherwise they were all just waiting for him to get back.

Kev greeted him and explained the plan, which was to have the main meeting here where they would discuss his future photo shoots and which magazine contracts to agree to and which ones to decline. Then later that evening he had to do a guest appearance at a bar and club, meaning he would basically be working until early hours in the morning. In past guest appearances he just had to attend the club and take some photos both inside and outside of the venue and it was basically to advertise the club.

Harry made his way around his kitchen and hallway area to do each task he needed to and firstly was agreeing to which magazine contracts he wanted. He took the pile of papers from his stylist Tessa, and flicked through them. He spotted Vogue, Rolling Stones and some others that he didn't recognise.

'Definitely those two..' he spoke as he handed the pile back to Tessa 'then you choose the rest? Or which do you think would be the best to do?'

'Yeah I agree, definitely the Vogue and Rolling Stones. I think we should be agreeing to at least five?'

'Yeah sure, that's fine with me. Any preferences?' Harry chuckled a little at Tessa because he had no idea who the others were, they seemed to be new brands that were just starting up.

Harry didn't mind that, he was always okay with helping out small businesses and getting people seen. He nodded to Tessa as she held up her chosen contracts, not taking note of the names, then thanked her before heading over to Jemma to discuss potential times and days to do the shoots. They discussed and pencilled in certain dates that both Jemma and Harry could do so that Tessa could then call each of the brands back and check for deadlines and if the dates suited, then also had a quick look into each of the five brands and what the fashion would potentially be and Jemma's ideas for the photoshoot.

These kind of meetings were always kind of a whirlwind for Harry because realistically he didn't ever say no to anything that was asked of him. These meetings were always the same and his team didn't need his word and could actually do it without him. He always wondered what would happen if he said no to something and how much of a say he would actually have, But he had never come across that kind of moment, thankfully. He glanced over at his manager as he thought and gave her a small smile as she sipped on a mug of coffee.

After about 3 hours of questions and phone calls and arranging, Harry and his team were more or less finished for the day. Tessa left first after giving Harry a hug and thanking him for being so pleasant as always. Then his manager left but not before asking Harry to be on his best behaviour for the event that evening, which Harry just nodded to. Jemma was still there as Harry wanted to ask her for her fashion opinion on the outift he planned to wear, and of course Kev was still there as he would be attending with him.

He and Jemma headed upstairs and he got her blessing on the outfit, which he secretly knew he would, before she gave him a hug goodbye and left. Kev headed to his part of the house to relax before the evening when they had to leave. The event didn't start till 10pm and it was only just 7pm so Harry had time to chill out and have some food before they needed to even start getting ready.

It had just turned 9pm and Harry groaned at the idea of getting dressed and going out. He actually hated these kind of events the most. The drunk club goers when he was 100% sober were his idea of hell, unless that drunken person was Louis of course. That was the best thing he could have ever ever asked for. Maybe he would get drunk tonight and make it a little more bearable. Although he needed to be on his best behaviour so maybe not. He jogged up the stairs to his bedroom and into his ensuite to have a brisk shower then started to get changed and styled his hair. He didn't have Jemma or Tessa to help him this time because the idea was that he was on a night out and it was a normal and sociable time for him. He had Kev attending with him and also two of his closest friends so that he wasn't completely friendless in the club.
