HARRY

I ignored the buzz on my phone and huffed in annoyance. After my dramatic exit from my interview yesterday , everything seemed to go wrong.  I couldn't even make a proper pancake without burning it right. Seeing him after all these years made me a nervous mess. I had cried non stop after I had reached home , uncontrollable pain ripped me apart, all my sufferings  made Niall  an angry fireball. I told him everything. But his reply was quite the unexpected.  He wanted me to go work for him!

How could he say that? 

In his defence, he wanted me to get over Louis, but something like that was impossible, he was my soul mate, even thinking about someone else made me flinch from pain.

I sighed as a wave of remorse flood through me.

My phone buzzed again.

What was wrong with these people?

Since the minute I had rejected the offer for the job,they have been calling me to take it back up.

Irritated, I decided to attend the call just one last time to tell them to shut up.

After two more calls, each from different numbers, I tookthe phone.

''Hello - "

" Oh my god he just picked up the phone" someone declared.

I could hear a lot of shuffling and then the clear voice of Miranda echoed.

'' Mr. Styles we regret if there were any discomforts with the job, but the CEO seems obstinate that you get the job. And  the board committee feels the same. You are much accomplished and talented for the job. " She droned on about the pros of the position.

But my mind had stopped at the fact that the CEO wanted me to have the job.

What the hell?

My wolf seemed confused too. He had received some very mixed responses from our mate.

I felt a bit apprehensive over the offer. There was something weird going on. Why should he offer me the job?

" Personally,  I feel that the job could do anyone a good. It has the best pay, the best reputation,  the best facilities , up to date electronics and you get a lot of free days too. Seeing your position the job offers you a lot. It would do you good."

Seriously?

How about worker welfare or work space conduct or some morality?

The CEO seems to have none.

A pang went over me as I realized that I had thought something ill about my own mate.

Something seemingly impossible. 
That was how much he had hurt me.

Flame spread over me like burning coal. I needed to get this job, I decided . Niall was right. If anything , I deserved respect and seeing that he has done nothing but to  almost kill me,  he needs to know my pain. Memories flood through me and I could feel the beginning of a panic attack.

Hurriedly I drowned a glass of water and took a deep breath.

" And of course considering the work hours , it is only from 9am to 6.30 pm , and we get three days off every month! And-"

I just had to interrupt her.

" I'll take the job Mrs. Sal.""

" What? Oh that is great. Oh thank the heavens. Can you come over now?"

" Um, maybe tomorrow?"

"OK .'' She hung up.

I drowned another glass of cold water.
