Harry's POV

"I quit" Roberta screams as she throws a plant at me. I dodged it which made her angrier.

"Look, Roberta, let's settle this like the adults we are" I try to reason with her. See Roberta has some anger issues. She strikes at least once a month and when this happens I'm always the one to calm her down.

Her dad left her to live with her mother who was an alcoholic and a drug addict. Her mum passed when she was 13 and she was adopted by her aunt and uncle who didn't care about her at all. They made her do the house chores.

Anyway, she left the house when she was 18. Obviously, she had no money nor a place to live. I bumped into her that night and well I felt bad for her. She was crying her eyes out and so I offered her a job and one of my apartments.

We used to mess around for a while but she wanted to stop claiming that I'm a womanizer and that I was sleeping around with other people while sleeping with her. We agreed to be friends after that and it was better in the long run. Now she's my assistant.

After she calmed down she started sobbing and I gave her one of my bear hugs. Everyone loves my hugs!

"I don't think I should keep working here" She says after a while. It does take me a bit by surprise.  

"What? Why?" I don't want her to go. We're really good friends and she makes the best coffee.

"I'm just not happy here anymore and I already found a job so if we can go over the paperwork it would be great" She can't even look me in the eye. 

As much as I don't want to let her go I have to. She deserves to be happy and if she found a better job then I don't want to be the one keeping her from it. I only nod.

An hour later everything is settled. She packed up all her things and said her goodbyes. She starts walking toward me with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for everything Harry. I'm glad I met you. You changed my life. You were so good to me and I hope you find someone who can make a mean coffee like I can". She says trying her best not to cry.

"I'll never find someone who can make coffee like you do Rob". And with that, she was gone. I better find myself an assistant.

I call Josh my co-worker into my office. "Good morning Josh. Now with Roberta gone, I need to find an assistant. Can you make the announcement please? I have a meeting in 5."

"Sure boss"

Yes, I am the boss of this company. It was actually my father's but it was passed onto me after he died of lung cancer. My sister didn't want it so I did not wanting to disappoint my father who was resting in peace.

I have over 300 people working for me and let me tell you it's amazing to be in charge of everything. I mean it's more tiring as I work long hours and I have to sit through many boring meetings each day.

After the meeting, Josh comes back into my office to tell me that the interviews for the position of my assistant will be held tomorrow and Wednesday. I nod sipping a bit of my bitter coffee. 

The next morning I wake up with a really good mood. I dress in one of my best suits and have a massive English breakfast, alone. But I got used to it. I haven't had an actual relationship in 4 years. I'm not gonna go over the sappy love story for now because I really don't want to ruin my mood.

I march into my office with a huge smile. I ordered Starbucks for everyone. The interviews began at 9 so I still had half an hour to myself. I look at myself in the mirror, something which I haven't done in a while.

I take a look at the list of people I'm gonna meet for the interview today.

Ryland Matthews

Peyton Mayers

Leon Huston

Fred Mc Coy

Emma Joy

Lara White

Koen Lighter

Freddie Young

John Green

Lesley Tames

There were many more but those are the ones for today and then there are more tomorrow and since there were more we had to have some on Wednesday and Thursday.

These few days go by swiftly.It's Thursday now. I did meet some interesting people that I would see myself hiring. I have the last one left. His name is Niall Horan.

I was playing on my phone when I heard a knock on my door. I look up to meet the most beautiful man with the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. He has blonde hair which I think is fake as I can see brown roots from where I'm sitting.

He has a very sexy body and shape- "Hi Good Afternoon. Are you Mr Styles?" He says with a grin showing off his teeth. Wow, hot and cute.

"Umm yes. Please take a seat" He nods walking in and taking a seat right in front of me. I just stare at him. He coughs a bit making me blush.

"Mr Niall Horan am I right?" I ask taking out a sheet of paper

"That's me!" He chuckles nervously.

"So I see you used to work for quite large and well-known companies, what made you leave?" I ask.

"Well the first one shut down and I left the others for money matters and location. I used to live in Ireland before and all those companies were situated there and now I've moved to London." He explains shuffling in his seat.

"I see I see. Why do you want to work for Styles & Co?" I keep asking questions like this for a bit when I decide to spice things up a bit.

"Are you seeing anyone?" 

Niall chokes on the tea he was drinking. When he doesn't reply I decide to speak again. "I don't want to be nosy or anything. I'm asking because some people get distracted during working hours or need to leave early because of these matters."

"Oh no I understand but no I'm not seeing anyone right now." 

"I see. Ok, thank you, Niall. Have a nice evening" I didn't even realize that I spent 3 hours talking to Niall.

I decide on who I'm calling for the second interview:

John Green

Lesley Tames

Ella Wright

Niall Horan

 I had to cut out a lot of people but I'm hoping this second interview will help me decide on who to hire.

Two days later Niall is sitting in my office again for the interview. We talk about his family, his hobbies, well everything. I knew he was the one. I didn't even bother taking a few days to think about it.

"You're hired Mr. Horan"

"What? Really?" He gasps

"Yes. When would it be ok for you to start work?" I ask handing him the contract.

"Oh wow thank you so much. I can on Monday since tomorrow is Sunday and I'll bring the contract then." I really can't wait for Niall to start working here.

"Sounds perfect. One thing well probably the only thing we didn't discuss was your payment" I state.

"Oh right. Well, how much did your previous assistant make?" He asks and I can tell that he's uncomfortable.

" No need to tense up Mr Horan. How about we start you off with £4000 monthly?"

He looks shocked. "Mr Horan are you ok?"

"Niall please and yes it's just wow that's a lot"

I just chuckle. I reach out for his hand gently and he has really soft hands. "See you on Monday Niall"
