"Polly I need those files from Johansen Inc. by the end of the day and please call Payne Tech and arrange a meeting. Tell them I'm Liam's friend." I said as I type furiously.

I groaned loudly as one of the investors cancelled the last minute because of finding out how a bitch I can be. Well there's that.

"You seemed stressed." A voice said in my doorway. I was about to snap at the person for just entering my office without knocking but my lips turn into an involuntary smile as I saw the curly headed man.

"I am." I said, before sending my email to the shitty ex-investor.

"I brought lunch. I hope you like Japanese food." He said holding up a paper bag.

"I don't really have time to eat." I said bluntly. "I've got investors breathing down my neck and my assistant just forgot to call Payne Tech for the installment of the lights and sound system on my bars."

"You're changing into Payne Tech.? I thought you were with Poco System?" HE asked, taking a seat on one of my many chairs.

"I was. But the contract ended days ago and I'm not planning to renew it since most of my lights are flickering and is heating up like crazy." I said not bothering to look at him.

"You need to eat." He said and I just shook my head. He took this as a cue to stand up and stand behind me while massaging my shoulders. "Come on babe."

"Babe? We're doing endearments now? And as far as I can remember we are still not in a relationship." I said while shaking my head. I couldn't concentrate with his big hands rubbing my shoulder and I let out a groan.

"Yes we are, babe. And isn't it clear I'm courting you?"

"Courting?"

"Yes, courting. I like you a lot, and I'll take the kiss as a 'I like you too Harry'." He leaned down at me.

"Way to put words in my mouth, Styles." I scoffed.

"Excuse me; you're the one who's putting something in my mouth." He said throwing a cheeky smirk. He lifted me off my chair, which I shrieked at and replaced my position in my chair before pulling me into his lap. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist while I wrap one of mine on his waist and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Why are you so stressed?"

"Well, one of my investors just pulled off our deal because he caught a whiff of how a bitch I can be." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You can sue, right?"

"Well, suing meant a lot of paper works and court hearing. And it was just a half a million deal, I would sue if it was more. It's not worth my time especially I'm a couple of months away from opening the new branches."

"I can be the new investor. Email me a contract and I'll send you the money in your bank now." he stated which made my eyes widened.

"NO, no, no. That's fine Harry and besides I separate my work with my relationships."

"So you're admitting that we're in a relationship?" He said while throwing me a cheeky smile.

"No, I don't know how to call it, would you rather have me say my 'kissed-two-times-relationship'?" I asked him.

"I'm courting you and that's final. Plus, you're eating." He said which made me giggle. He was leaning in and I also did, excited to feel his lips on mine.

"Um, sorry Ms. Morgensen, I can come back later." Polly said as her face flushed.

"No, it's fine, tell me what it is." I said, composing myself and standing up from Harry's lap.
