HARRY'S POV

The next day, Harry spent the morning preparing for his meeting with his management. He needs to plan out what he's going to say and do since this is important to him. He dials Jeff's number, "Did you guys make it to the hotel?"

"Yes, we are here, and I have reserved the conference room as well. Just ask the receptionist, and they'll lead you in the right direction," Jeff says.

"Alright, we'll see you at 4," Harry adds.

"Meet me at the hotel at 3:30, and we can head up to the meeting together." he texts someone.

At the hotel

Before the meeting, Harry meets with a lady in the hotel lounge.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" she asks Harry.

"I am very sure. When is your team going to be here? I want everyone there," Harry replies.

"They should be here in 5," she responds. "Alright then, the plan is to tell him you want to end the contract today itself?" she adds.

"Yes, and it won't be easy. Jeff will fight. The lawyer's coming too, right?" Harry says.

"Yeah, the lawyer is coming with the paperwork," she responds.

"Okay. Ready?" Harry asks himself, sighing.

A few others enter the lounge, and the lady stands up and introduces Harry to everyone.

"This is Lane, my assistant," she adds, gesturing to a young girl in her early twenties. She is wearing a suit and glasses, and her hair is short and pink.

"This is Max, our lawyer," she continues, pointing to a tall guy, in his forties.

"These are Juliet and Daniel, two of my coworkers. They are here to help and support us; they have dealt with people like Jeff in the past, so they can be of great assistance," she says.

Harry introduces himself and shakes hands with everyone there. "Alright, are we ready to go?"

"Yes, let's go," she says.

"I'll go get the details from the receptionist," Harry replies, walking up to the front desk and returning in a minute or so. "Alright, it's room 369 on the third floor. Let's go."

They all make their way to the meeting room. Harry is tense and sweating. He pulls out his phone and messages Louis," I wish you could be here. I'm going to do something big. I'll explain later."

When they get to the conference room, Harry inhales deeply before opening the door and entering to see Jeff, his manager, Mark, Jeff's assistant, and a few other individuals who he believes are not very significant today. One of them, a man in a complete black suit, black tie, and white shirt, catches his attention. "Looks like he's a lawyer," he thinks to himself.

"Jeff, Mark, how have you been?" he says, shaking their hands.

"I'm good," Jeff replies with a stern look.

"Alright, let me introduce you to my team here," Harry says. "This is Alex," gesturing to the lady with whom he had been talking earlier in the lounge. "She will be my manager starting today. I don't want to work with you any longer Jeff," he adds. Jeff is astonished; he does not speak and only stares at Harry.

"This is Lane, Alex's assistant. This is Max, my lawyer. He has all the paperwork we are going to need today, and this is Juliet, and Daniel," he introduces everyone to Jeff and his team. They exchange handshakes and take their seats.

"Okay, I wanted to meet everyone today because I AM DONE," he exclaims. "I'm done, I don't want anything to do with you, Jeff, or your company," he says angrily, pointing at Jeff.
