Ruby's salon

Chapter 3

As she carried her duffel bag outside, a burly man in glasses approach and took it. "I'm Preston Louis asked me to pick you up" he said. "Oh, I'm Ruby" she introduced as she turn to lock her front door. "I know" he said before going to the car and putting her bag in the trunk. She followed him to the black Bentley as he opens the back seat door for her. "Thank you" she mumbled before stepping in.

This car cost more than my life, she thought to herself as she run her fingers on the leather seat of the expensive vehicle.

Preston stayed quiet as he drove out of her neighborhood and into the wide highway. Ruby practically had ran her fingers to every part of the luxurious car. The air was tense as Preston keeps his sunglasses on and sight fixed to the road.

"Preston right?"

"Yes ma'am" he answered.

Ma'am, the word lingers."um, where are we headed?" She asked to the still quiet Preston.

"To the airport"

"Airport?" She asked wide eyed. Why are we headed to the airport (thought this should be Ruby thoughts)

"Didn't Louis mentioned it?" Preston spoke finally looking at her to the rear view mirror.

"Um nope"

Preston cleared his throat before looking back at the road and speaking up.

"He's bringing you to L. A. where his apartment will be. He has an upcoming interview and will need you right away"

"L. A.?! Los Angeles?" Ruby hands we're clasped out of shock. First day at the job and she's already everywhere.

Ruby gets to the airport. Presenton takes her to a private jet .never in Ruby's life would she   Thought that this was gonna happen to her .after a long flight they have landed in la. Ruby was nervous about meeting Louis again. She kept thinking what if he dosnt think I'm a good enough stylist? The day went on and it was time to meet Louis again.
Preston drove and brought her in front of a a huge hotel. Busy people come and go in the entrance as Ruby began to feel apprehensive about this. "Everything's going too fast..." She mumbled to herself while trying to calm down by playing with the hem of her dress. "You ready ma'am?" Preston shocked her by opening the door and peaking in. "O-ofcourse" she mumbled and climbed out of the vehicle.

A valet took the keys of Preston as he opens the door for her, her duffel on the other hand.

The lobby is huge and crowded as people come from every part of it to go to every part of it. It looks busy yet not loud. Preston went to the front desk and without a single word said, given a key card. The lady gave Ruby a knowing look but went back to what she was doing.

"Get used to it, everyone's going to look at you that way once they know who you are" Preston spoke without turning a head.

Ruby gulped before going into the elevator with Preston. He pressed the penthouse button and they stood quietly inside the huge elevator. Ruby checked herself on the mirror by the elevator wall. I look trash but I might as well look presentable for him, she thought.

The elevator ding-ed and opened to a wide quiet hallway. She followed Preston as he went to the farthest door. Preston opened it for her and was welcomed by a huge king sized bed with gold duvet and a glass coffee table by the ceiling to floor window.

"Woah..." She can't help but mumbled.

"The other by your left is connected to Louis's room. Since you're one of his stylist, you are entitled to come in and out of whenever you want. He's expected to look presentable every single time so he needs you all day everyday, hope you can deliver. Food is delivered to your room and you can ask for whatever you want from the hotel trough the intercom. Everything you'll need will be given and in some cases you will be needed to tag along to Louis in his events"

Ruby stared at Preston as she try to comprehend everything he just said.

"Do you got that?" He asked.

"Um yes. Got it" she answered.

"Okay then, I'm needed elsewhere so I'll leave you to it" Preston left after saying that, leaving Ruby alone in her gorgeous spacious bedroom.

She looks at every corner of the beautiful room until her eyes dropped on the door by the corner. Louis's door.

Ruby thought about it as Preston's words ran over and over through her mind. She's allowed to go in and out of it whenever she wants to. Before even knowing what she's doing, she's already in his room, her quiet footsteps leading her into it.

There he sat on the bed with his phone in his hand. His thumb runs through the screen, flipping on a twitter account.

He's stalking someone, she thought.

Through curiosity, she walked closer and took a look at his phone. He's in the dm section of someone as both of his hands move to the screen of the phone.

Zayn Malik. He's stalking Zayn! She thought. She covered her mouth to hide her gasped as she read at what Louis is typing.

"Hey, how are ya mate?" He typed, shook his head and erased the words before shutting his phone and dropping himself onto the bed. He looked up to see Ruby behind him. "Jesus!" He shouted before standing up and facing her.
