50 Shades Freed

Chapter 10

My jaw hangs low as I try to think about what Harry just said. He can't be serious. I haven't even been working for SIP for a year yet! He can't expect me to want to take on the entire company. I shake my head no at him not saying another word on the subject. I grab my jacket walking out of the room hearing the sound of Harry's footsteps behind me.

"You can't ignore me Niall"

"I sure as hell can try" I go down the stairs telling Taylor to prepare a car for me. He sends me a slight nod muttering something into his jacket more than likely signaling for a car to be prepared. I walk into the kitchen seeing that my lunch is already made for me. I'll have to thank Ms. Jones later.

He can't be serious about thinking about making me the head of SIP when I haven't even been there for an entire year. I can hear him stalking behind me and I look around facing him. He doesn't say anything but I'm sure that there are many things running through his mind that he would like to say. I shake my head and walk past him going to the elevator.

"Niall!" Harry calls out after me

"Yes?" I ask pushing down on the elevator button.

"Can we at least talk about this?"

"There is nothing to talk about...I don't want to be the head of SIP." The doors open and I smile stepping onto it. I let the doors close and lean my head back against the wall, why on earth would he...why do I keep asking that question? He's Harry, my overbearing husband that I love. 

Once I get to the garage Taylor and two others are waiting for me. I get into the car laying my head against the window. I don't understand what could be going through Harry's mind, and as much as I would love to pick his brain, now is not the time.  

I get out of the car waving to Taylor as I walked into the building. I knew that he would be here waiting for me once it was time for my lunch break. I knew better than to try to sneak off, that would only infuriate Harry, and more than likely get Taylor into trouble which is not what I want. 

I step into the office and notice that everyone's eyes are on me. There was a time that I had gone through this office without being noticed by nearly anyone. Now coming back to work with the title "Harry Styles' husband" has obviously changed things around here. I walk to where my office once was noticing that my name is no longer on the door. Who the hell is Alvin Murphy? 

"Niall?" I look over my shoulder seeing that a woman I have never seen before somehow knows my name. 

"Yes?" I ask looking back at her

"My name is Yolanda...and I am here to inform you that your office has been moved." 

"Moved? Moved to where?" 

"You have taken the place of Jack, and Alvin is your assistant" My eyes widen and I run my fingers through my hair. Oh god, I can already tell that this isn't going to go how I had planned for it to. Obviously everything that I said to Harry this morning went through one ear and out the other. I sigh and let her lead me to "my new office". 

She pushes the door open for me and I can see that everything has been redecorated. The colors are different, and there's art everywhere. I look over each piece seeing that the art came from Harry and I's trip to Europe. And a few pieces from Zayn's art gallery. I sigh and walk inside sitting down at the desk closing my eyes. I log into my laptop seeing that I have dozens of emails from so many people. The first I notice is Harry. 

__________

From: Harry Styles
To: Niall Horan
Subject: Surprise Mr. Styles

Look I know what you said this morning, but I had everything set up yesterday. I was hoping that you would agree to what I said this morning. Turns out things did not go as I planned. Enjoy the new office yes? Do not be mad at me. Just try it for the day for me? 

__________

I read his email sighing knowing that Harry is only trying to do something nice for me. I can only do what he asks and try to do my best to let this set in. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I didn't want this. No wonder everyone has been staring at me all day. Niall marries the boss, and becomes head of the company. No one truly knows why Jack was let go, so everyone more than likely thinks I'm some guy who got the boss in bed and got a shit ton of money.

I hear a slight knock on the door and I look up seeing that it's Yolanda still. "Yes?" 

"I wanted to introduce you to Alvin" She smiles and I nod looking up seeing a guy with black hair and bright blue eyes. His eyes are hidden behind thick glasses, and I tilt my head at him. Yolanda pushes him towards me a little bit before shutting the door. 

"Uh sorry...I'm kinda nervous" He mumbles and I nod a little bit knowing that I had been in the same place he was when all this madness started.

"It's okay no need to be nervous." I smile a little bit sitting up straight in my seat looking over him. He's quite tall. 

"Yolanda is my older sister, she insisted that I work here. But as you can see she's pushing me to do most of this" He chuckles and I smile laughing a little bit. 

"I understand being pushed into things that you don't particularly want to do, but sometimes it can turn out that those things lead to big and better things." 

"I can only hope so Mr. Horan..." 

"It's Mr. Styles...but you can call me Niall"
