Julia got up from her desk, a folder clutched in her dainty hand and the other hand on her hip as she walked towards the cabin opposite her cubicle. She cleared her throat and knocked once, "May I come in Sir?" She asked her voice low and polite. The curly haired boss looked up, his spectacles settling on the bridge of his nose. He sat straight on his desk, few sheets lying in front of him and a parker in his hand. He smiled at his assistant, as she walked inside, but stopped right in front of the door. The office was huge, with a mahogany desk straight in the center of the room. Mr. Harry Styles read the tag on the desk. Julia cleared her throat again gaining Harry's attention.

"Mr. Styles, Mr. Chaterjee is calling to confirm about the meeting this afternoon, what should I respond to it?" Julia asked as stood at the door.

Harry hummed removing his glasses and resting it on top of his head. He then nodded and said, "Tell him the meeting is on." and picked up a file flipping through the sheets.

Julia was about to walk away as Harry called out, "Julia." She immediately turned around muttering a "Yes sir."

It's not that Harry was a strict boss; in fact he was quite the opposite. Everyone loved and respected him and he was most considerate boss and had a nice relationship with all his employees. Harry Styles was the Editor in Chief of a very famous celebrity gossip magazine namely 'The Buzz.'

"I will be taking an hour break now. Cancel all my appointments and I don't want any calls for the hour." He said as he placed the magazine neatly back on the table.

"Sure Sir, I will make sure that nobody disturbs you." Julia said with a smile on her face. "Anything else Sir?" She asked.

"No, that's it. You may leave now. Thank you." Harry said with a slight smile as he was about to sit on the chair.

"Sir, you don't have to thank me, it's my job." She said as she pulled the handle of the door of the cabin in order to shut it. Harry just smiled in response.

Julia walked out back to her desk placing the files in her hand back on the table.

"So is he on his usual break?" Somebody enquired and Julia turned to reveal Sam leaning on the desk.

"Yep. The usual break." Julia answered while arranging the files on the table.

"I wonder what he does." Sam said still leaning on the table as he observed Julia.

"We shouldn't get to nosy. He deserves a private hour for all the hard work he does." Julia said still arranging the files and looking at Sam.

"I am just curious." Sam said shrugging a bit.

"Well you shouldn't be." Julia told him rolling her eyes and Sam walked away giving her a look.

-Back in the Cabin-

Harry walked towards the large window frame smiling at his reflection. He had long hair falling on his shoulders, and was dressed in a navy blue suit, a white shirt tucked in. He combed his hair using his fingertips. He walked across to a certain photo frame and picked it up, biting his lip smiling at the photo.

"Louis." He said, his voice cracked in the end.

"Well I am the Editor in Chief of this magazine and you were right when you said I can do anything.

Lou I have this meeting with Mr. Chaterjee and if it goes well my magazine will go international and it will be like everywhere." He said excitedly, slightly jumping now. He took a deep breath and continued,
