L POV

"Right okay, what gave you inspiration do to that?" I asked one of the employees on the design floor who was coming up with a first sketch of a handbag with interesting designs around it making the 'S' pop.

"Well the company is Styles, and on every product it has the signature S, so I thought what do I think of when I think of S" She explained using hand gestures to emphasise what she's saying.

"The sound it makes is like a snake, yet it is soothing and soft so I wanted to make a design that was toned down and sweet with the S as the star and I made it a snake for that reason!" She happily stated. The bag she sketched was a dark forest green which she wanted to be metallic but in certain lights to be black. The S on the front of the bag holding it closed was the star, a golden intricately designed snake and I adored it. 

"What line is this for?" I asked looking through her design, it was gorgeous. She seemed panicked for a second making me rise a brow at the reaction.

"Um i-it's not for any specific one, I'm sorry I know I should concentrate on the spring line but I had the idea and couldn't let it go-" She looked as if she were about to break down and the reaction startled me.

I brought my hands out and gestured for her to calm down she was shaking and couldn't meet my eyes. "Hey love, look at me" I softly asked as she did just that. The girl shouldn't feel the need to cry at this, poor thing must only be about 18.

"It's okay. I only asked because I'm going to talk to Harry about it and I want a whole line in the next couple of years based around this snake concept alright?" I reassured her and her face completely changed from petrified to as if she were about to die. 

"No way, you can't be serious! It-its so not worthy!" She tried to discourage my idea, but I wouldn't have none of it. "Love, all that's about nowadays is things that have logos covering the entire thing or some overpowering pattern that you can't even pair with a white shirt. This is simple yet stunning you can pair this with actual outfits. It can either be the star of the outfit or support it, trust me I know what I'm talking about" She smiled brightly at the praise and lunged forward to hug me. I was very taken aback and patted her back in both shock and appreciation as she repeated the words thank you. I let her go and she was smiling brightly looking at her design in awe instead of doubt.

"Look, I can't make any promises, but I'll try my best" I said just to make sure her dreams don't get crushed if Harry disproves the idea. She shook her head and waved her hand as if not to worry about it

"It won't matter, the approval from you is more than I could ask for Sir" She beamed before she suddenly looked past my shoulder and adjusted her hair, making sure she looked decent.

It felt like a wave as the whole room one by one each person did the exact same thing. I turned around to where people were looking and Harry was entering through the door in all his glory.

Now everyone's reactions make sense. I took my time to admire his fashion choices, it is our field after all, he was wearing a baby blue shiny suit and tie today with a white shirt and dress shoes. 

I almost laughed out loud when someone not so quietly shouted "Change the playlist Jimmy!" Only then did I realise Brittany spears 'toxic' was blasting through the speakers. I stood and turned in the direction of the commotion.

"NO!" the man I suspected was Jimmy protested.

"It's Brittany bitch" The man sang coming out through the back doors where the fabrics are kept with some pink sparkly material in his hand. I could've sworn I heard him scream and suddenly the music was some sort of waltz. I furrowed my brows in slight confusion at the music and turned back to walk toward Harry.
