Forced To Be With Him 24/7

Chapter 23

Harry and Liam stay in his office until six in the evening. They order sushi from downtown and when I step in to give them the takeout bag, their conversation just freezes and they smile at me with impish grins. Its terrifying.

When the clock marks 19:28 and I am two weeks ahead of my schedule in college, I knock on their door. They both have paper sheets in front of them and balls of them on the floor. Harry's feet are on his desk and his pen in between his teeth. Liam however is fiercely writing something down.

"Mr. Styles, its seven thirty." I tell and it takes him a moment to comprehend what I am saying.

"Oh! Yes I dismiss everyone! Can you send the alert?" He asks and I nod as I start to leave the office.

"Oh and Alex, can you wait a few minutes, I want to talk to you about something." He says and I nod as I quickly leave. What was that about? I get all nervous as I dismiss everybody and clean up my desk and get ready to leave.

Harry has been weird around me lately. He lingers when he talks to me and stares at me all the time. I see his face light up when he catches my stare on him and he is- well his mood is never down.

He knows something that I don't. I think he found somebody. He found someone else and he is going to tell it to me in a few minutes. I know I hurt him when I ended everything after we had sex and he told me he liked me. He must now moved on.

He is fucking Harry Styles, he can get any girl just by asking, sometimes not even that.

"Alex?" He suddenly says and I snap out of my daydream and drop the pencil from my hand. When did he come out?

"Bye Ms. Hill!" Liam says behind him and leaves the office. I get up from my desk and fix the wrinkles on my dress and follow him to his office.

He closes the door behind me as he steps in and sits on the chairs in front of his desk. He motions for me to sit down and I do the same.

My palms get sweaty and I can feel the hairs on my back rise. He is going to break me some news and I don't know if I am ready yet.

"Alexandra, I want to ask you something and I hope that you don't take it the wrong way." He says and I can really feel my heart beating out of my chest. I nod with a mortified face.

"My mother is celebrating her wedding anniversary with Robin and she asked me to come to the celebration." He says and I nod. I can't tell where this is going.

"Its for two weeks in the Caribbean islands." He says and I gulp again.

"I am going with Nadine. She is the girl you met while we were looking for houses." He finishes and my worst nightmare becomes reality. My heart in my chest twists and I can feel hot tongs pressing against my lungs.

He is moving on...

"Thats great!" I make the worst fake cheering ever but he doesn't seem to mind.

The deal blowing off with Anne does not cross my mind once. All I can think of is the fact that I had him and I made myself loose him. He wasn't going to waste time on me. He moved onto the most beautiful girls on this planet and I was left on the sidewalk, crushing my own heart because I need money to survive. If I call the deal off, tell him how I really feel, I would loose my house, my life and maybe even my brother. Those people who we owe money to don't fuck around.

"I won't open the office so you will have your three days off. Can you tell everybody, I am leaving tonight." He says as cold sweat runs down my back.

"Of course." I say, trying to keep on a smile.

"Goodnight." I say and rush out before I break down in front of him.
