Harry
"I can't fucking believe you Camille" I said harshly as we walked back into my office and I shut the door. "And I cannot believe you'd be dumb enough to fuck your business partners daughter" she retorted and I rolled my eyes. "You couldn't have kept this between us? You had to drag her and everyone in the office into it?" I nearly shouted and she just smiled softly. "I thought they knew. Sorry" she replied dryly as she sat in my office chair spinning slowly. "You need to leave Camille. I'm serious. This has gotten so out of hand not only have you jeopardized my partnership and success in this company you've made Mila a laughing stock of this office and you've made her upset with me" I spoke in a low tone. "Well you really didn't stick up for her. In fact you gave into me. You picked me over her" she replied crossing her legs in her short dress. "Camille get out now or I am calling security" I nearly yelled and she didn't move so I picked up my phone and called security. Within a minute they were in my office removing Camille. "Mr. Styles I don't mean to intrude but she's been a problem for months now... you may want to get in contact with a lawyer" the security guard spoke and I just nodded before plopping down into my chair. "What the fuck have I done" I said to myself as I picked up my phone and dialed Mila's number. "Hey this is Mila sorry I couldn't get to your call. Leave a message and I'll call you back!" her sweet voice said in her voicemail and I waited patiently for the tone. "Mi I'm so so sorry. Call me back" I said before hanging up the phone. It was only a little after two so I had several more hours of sitting in this office going through my daily bullshit.
Mila
"Pick up. Pick up. Pick up" I said quietly to myself as I walked out of the building dialing a number on my phone that I usually didn't. "Sweetheart" my mother answered in a bothered tone, but I let out a sigh of relief. "Mom can I come over?" I asked quietly trying to hold back my tears. "Of course. What's wrong now?" She asked and I let out a breath as the tears began to fall. "I'll tell you when I get there" I spoke before hanging up. The drive to my mothers wasn't too long but there was traffic so it took me a little over an hour to get there and I already had a missed call from Harry. When I got to my moms she was waiting outside for me. "Mila" she said as she wrapped her arms around my rubbing my back as my tears began to fall even harder. "Come in and you can tell me what happened" she said and I nodded. When we walked in I sat on the couch "Is it about that boy you're seeing?" She asked and I nodded. "H...Harry" I finally got out and she nodded. "His ex was at work today and she basically called us out for being together in front of everyone and she humiliated me, but even worse all Harry could say was 'I think you should go for the day' so I quit and I know dad will be mad but his ex 'Camille' basically called me a slut in front of all the other workers" I said quickly and my mom looked down at the ground. "Are you more mad about Harry or are you worried about your father being disappointed that you quit?" She asked and I sighed. "I like Harry a lot but I thought he cared about me more than to just let his ex tear me down like that. He didn't even say a single word in my defense. However, dad may get to him before I do... I know he will find out" I exhaled and she patted my knee. "Why don't you stay here with me for a little? We are out of the city you can use this time to decompress maybe Bella can come see you? Besides I haven't seen you in a while" She said and I wiped my eyes once more and nodded in agreement. "That really means a lot mom. I'm sorry I haven't been here to see you more" I said honestly and she hugged me rubbing the back of my head. "Oh it's ok I know you're still my little girl regardless of how much time passes" she said. I finally had cooled down after a shower and a nap but my phone had been ringing constantly and buzzing with texts.
Harry: Mila please I'm sorry just call me back
Bella: what the hell happened?
Louis: Gossip travels fast in the office doesn't it love?
Dad: Your mother told me you're there with her everything okay?
Me: Everything is fine dad. Just needed some time with mom. I love you don't worry
Harry: I can see you're reading my messages please just give me a minute of your time
I clicked his name and pressed call and put my side on mute. "Mila thank god. I am so so sorry. I should've defended you. I didn't know what to say I thought maybe if I didn't agree I wouldn't get in trouble." He spoke frantically and I could hear the pain in his voice. "Say something please" he said weakly. I took my side of mute. "I can't forgive you right now Harry. Please stop calling me" I said softly and the line was silent for a few moments before I heard him sigh. "Oh alright... I'm sorry Mila I never wanted people to find out this way" he said softly before I hung up. My chest physically hurt. I wasn't in love with Harry by any means but my feelings for him were growing and this hurt me so bad because this is something Louis would've done to me and I never wanted Harry to be that way.
