Provoking Styles

Chapter 1

I was nervous as I got out of the cab, I just threw on black jeans, my favorite black floral shirt, and white converses to show up to this building with a big cursive S on the front of it. I walked to the front door and opened it, the inside of the building looked very expensive. The floors were black tile and the walls were an beige color, the furniture was white. I walked over to the front desk which was a sleek black color too. The redhead looked up from his computer and stared at me. "Can I help you?" he asked. 

"I'm here to meet with Niall." I answered, he looked me up and down before snorting. 

"Yeah right." he said before looking back at his computer. I leaned over the desk to see he was the security guard. I rolled my eyes and knocked on the top of the desk, his eyes shot up.

"Look buddy, if I were you I'd let me in now." I said sternly.

 He stood up and crossed his arms, he was at least 6 inches taller than me and he looked like he worked out. He glared at me. "Oh yeah? And why is that little lady?" I started fake laughing as I looked around on the wall right behind the desk was a list with all of the offices in the building and I spotted the one name I needed to get in to see. "What's so funny?" he snapped.

I cleared my throat and looked up at him. "I am Juliana Fredrick, my father is investing in this company billions upon billions of dollars. He told me to come meet with Mr. Horan in his place. If this company loses my fathers investment then you can explain that to Mr. Horan." I looked him up and down in disgust before turning to walk away.

"Okay, okay. I'll call him." he sat back down and picked up the phone. "Mr. Horan, Juliana Fredrick is here for your meeting with her," a few seconds pass. "Yes sir." He hung up the phone and opened his drawer to grab something, I started getting nervous. What if he was grabbing a gun? Or a taser? Or worst? Ohmygosh, what am I going to do if I just get thrown in jail? Katie will kill me if she has to bail me out. Or if I die, she'll bring me back and kill me again. My heart was beating ten times what it was suppose to and I'm sure the security guard could hear it. He looked up at me and started raising his hand, my whole body stiffened. 

"Use this to get to floor 5. Mr. Horan said he'd meet you outside the elevator." he said, I stepped up to see what he was holding. It was a visitors pass that looked like a credit card. I took it from him and scoffed before heading towards the elevator, there was a swiper above the buttons. I looked down at the visitors pass and swiped it, the up button lit up and I pressed it. The doors opened and I stepped in. There was another swiper in the elevator, I swiped the card again before the buttons lit up. I pressed the 5 as the doors shut. Minutes later the door opened and there stood Niall himself and a lady with silver hair, both of them looked at me. "It's nice to see that you showed up." he said, he looked in the elevator as I got off, I took a quick bow.

"Juliana Fredrick at your service." I said, he pointed at me.

"There was never a Juliana Fredrick was there?" He asked, I shook my head. "You lied to Alan..." he seemed shocked as he looked at the older woman, she seemed to hold the same facial expression.

"And he believed it." I answered while I nodded my head, I stuck out my hand. Jessica Tucker is the name." both of them shook my hand.

"Jessica this is Helen Obrin, she will be the one interviewing you today." Niall said "I have a real meeting to attend." he said winking.

"Wait interview me for what?" I questioned as Helen started leading me a different direction.

"To be a personal assistant." he called over his shoulder.
