Chapter 5-

The next day I got a call from Mark, the man who's in charge of this whole relationship thing. I guess you could say he is like my boss for my second job.

He wanted me to go down to his office for a meeting so he gave me directions and told me to be there for 1:30pm so I decided to get there at 1:15.

"Hi I'm here for a meeting with Mark Shepard." I said to the young blonde woman sitting at the reception desk.

"Ok, can I take your name please?"

"It's Clara Banks."

"Mark, a woman named Clara Banks is here for a meeting with you." She said as she picked up a phone and spoke into it leaving a message.

"Take a seat, he'll be down soon."

"Thanks." I smiled as I went and took a seat on one of the leather chairs that were in a small waiting space on the other side of the room.

I sat there and got out my phone to find a text from my mother.

"Hi sweetheart hope your well haven't heard from you in a while. How are things going in London? xx"

My mum moved to Devon last year with my younger sister Olivia, so I didn't get to see them much as I was really busy with work.

As I was about to reply to the text when I heard a voice behind me.

"Martha! Hello! Long time no see!" Said a familiar voice.

"Hello Harry." She said sounding happy.

I rolled my eyes and looked back down at my phone as I texted my mum back and listened in on their conversation. They started talking about the bands tour they had coming up in 4 months and about Martha's new baby. It seemed they got along well.

After they finished talking Harry walked towards the seating area.

"Hi Harry." I said without looking at him as I leant over to the coffee table and picked up a magazine.

"Clara? What are you doing here?!" He said as he sat next to me.

"I'm here to see Mark, the same as you I guess."

"Ugh." He groaned as I shot him a depth glare. "What's this meeting about anyway? He didn't tell me over the phone." He said gritting his teeth.

I just ignored him and looked down at the magazine.

"Clara?" I ignored him again.

"Clara?!" He said raising his voice slightly and pulling the magazine out of my hand.

"What?!"

"Don't ignore me!"

"Well how am I supposed to know?! If he didn't tell you what makes you think he told me?!" I snapped at him.

"Why are you so rude?!"

"Why don't you ask yourself that question?!" I said as I snatched the magazine back off of him.

"You are so irritating!" He said as he clenched his right hand into a fist. It was quite clear he was getting annoyed.

"Thanks." I smiled at him sarcastically.

"You know what Clara? You-" he was interrupted by Mark walking over.

"Hiya Harry."

"Hi Mark." He said standing up to greet him as I stood up too.

"Hello Clara"

"Hi Mark, nice to finally meet you." I smiled at him.

"Likewise. Right then shall we go to my office?" He asked me and Harry as we followed him towards his office.

I took a seat opposite Marks desk and on Harry's right.

"So what's this meeting about?" Harry asked.

"Well I'm sure you've both gotten to know each other quite well over the past few days."

"Yeah we have." I smiled.

"Good, good. Well now that you know each other a little better I think it's time that you were seen out together. Properly."

Me and Harry both sat in silence waiting for Mark to carry on talking.

"Harry, I'd like you to arrange a meal with the rest of the boys and Clara for next weekend and they are welcome to bring their girlfriends too."

"Okay, so next Saturday?"

"Yeah, I'll let you choose the restaurant."

"Ok." Harry gave a half smile.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot, the weekend after there's a film premier that you and the boys have been invited to go too. I think that if you take Clara along with you it will be a good way to get her into the limelight."

"I get to go to a film premier?!"

"Yep, and don't worry about an outfit we will provide you with one and Louise will do your hair and makeup!"

I gasped in excitement as harry turned to look at me as if I was some sort of freak.

"Sorry, it's just exciting that's all." I laughed and Mark laughed back as harry scoffed and looked away.

After that Mark went through the contract with me and harry as he explained it fully incase I missed anything out when I signed it.

"It was lovely meeting you today Clara, I will keep in touch over the phone."

"You too Mark and ok." I smiled.

"Harry, I'll see you tomorrow evening for that chat show you and the boys are on."

"Yeah see ya tomorrow Mark."

We left the office together, after harry and I said goodbye to Martha we both walked out into the parking lot. Ever since we went into the meeting Harry had been really quiet and he was still being quiet now.

"Harry...you okay? Your being really quiet."

"So?" He said looking me in the eyes. But for some reason he looked sad.

"Nothing."

"Yeah, we'll see you later Clara." He said as he walked over to his car and got inside.

"Bye Harry." I waved as he drove off. I then walked over to my car and made my way home.
