elanora
elanora walked in the doors of her building feeling nothing but happiness. she went a bit overboard and bought a bunch of toys and dog food for tarzan last week.
harry was out of the country for an important meeting in los angeles and left her alone again. she really didn't mind this time though, she had tarzan to keep her company.
joey was in her office when she entered. he had a stack of papers in one hand and a yellow highlighter in the other. he seemed to be in deep concentration so she put her bag on the table and went to the staff room for a cup of coffee.
a few co-workers were in the staff room chatting with each other or on their laptops. elanora made her way over to the coffee machine and poured herself a cup. someone cleared their throat behind her causing her to turn around. there she stood, with her brown eyes and perfect fake smile. her hair was all back in a neat bun, not a strand of hair was stuck out of place.
"oh sorry," elanora said and moved out of the way so erin could get a cup of coffee. erin just stood there scrunching her face up at the coffee, "coffee is horrible sweetheart. it makes your teeth yellow and it's very addictive," she stated.
"why are you here then?" elanora asked taking a sip of her black coffee. "i came to say that i forgive you for spilling your stuff on me," she said patting me on the arm before walking away.
elanora sucked in a deep breath. that woman should be apologizing to her. she huffed in annoyance and marches out of the staff room and into her office. an intern came in with a stack of files and an apologetic look on her face. elanora sighed, this was gonna be a long day.
harry
harry sighed and adjusted himself in the comfy king sized bed. he was in and out of meetings all morning and he was knackered. the loud knocking on the door of his suite made him groan in annoyance as he lazed himself out of bed and walked to the door.
he looked through the peep hole to see zayn and unlocked the door to let the lad in. "what do you want malik?" harry said, his eyes close to closing. "let me in you shit," zayn said pushing past harry. "make yourself at home," harry said sarcastically taking a seat in the opposite couch.
"i'm kind of tired here so hurry up so i can go back to bed," harry rushed the raven-haired lad impatiently. "after the last meeting when you rushed out, wilfred adams invited all of us to his annual ball or some shit. simon said we all have to go so he can continue to chat up wilfred because he didn't seem to be fully on board with the decision we plan on making," zayn said making harry groan and stomp his feet like a child.
"i'll be ready in 2 hours," harry said motioning for zayn to leave. "more like 1 hour, it starts at 8pm sharp!" zayn called out as he left.
sometimes harry wished he didn't have this job. it could be too much at times. he had been in and out of meeting since 4:50am to 6:40pm and it was very stressful. all he wanted to do was take a nice long nap but now he had a ball to attend in exactly 58 minutes.
harry stripped down to his boxers and walked over to his closet. "what was suitable for a ball?" he mumbled to himself. he decided on a grey valentino tux with a dark grey tie. he pushed his hair back and adjusted himself in the mirror. some bags were visible underneath his eyes but he thought he looked reasonable. his phone rung snapping him out of his thoughts.
"hello?" he said answering the call and grabbing his rolex to put it on his wrist. "hey baby, just wanted to check in on you. is everything okay?" his wife asked. harry smiled, back when they were dating she seemed to always know when something was up without being near him or him having to tell her.
it was like she had a sixth sense or something. she hadn't called to check up on him in years so this was surprising. harry was expecting her to call and say that she would be out in some other country with the girls and wouldn't be home when he got back.
"just a bit tired love. been in and out of meetings since early this morning and now i have to go to this ball that one of the men at the last meeting is hosting," i said weakly into the phone. "aww baby. i'm sorry. you've just got two more days okay? and your gonna be home and you can sleep all you want. you can take a day off of work and sleep all day." she said suggestively making harry smile at how caring she was being.
"honey, i have to be there by eight and it's seven forty-nine. i will call you when i can," harry said looking at his watch. "oh okay baby. don't work too hard. i love you." erin said sweetly before hanging up. Harry left the hotel room with his phone in hand and a smile on his face.
he exited the elevator and made his way to the lobby where he saw zayn in a black armani tux and a matching bow tie. his quiff was jelled back and looked like he raided a hairspray store. "the others left before i got down so i waited for you to come down. took you long enough!" zayn said as they walked out of the doors of the hotel and into a limousine that was waiting on them.
zayn continued to talk and talk as they got in the limousine but all harry could think of was his wife and what a nice gesture it was to call. "maybe she was making an effort," he thought. he was interrupted by the ringing of his phone once again. zayn sneaked a peak over to see who it was and immediately shut up so harry could answer but he was surprised when harry didn't. harry was surprised himself.
he just ignored elanora's call.
