The Styles company

Chapter 9-The agenda

~A.N~

~So it's been a while. We are sorry. Being at home in quarantine has given us some inspiration to write again. I can't promise that we will be consistent but we will try to be.~

~From the comments I read, there seems to be confusion about Alexandra's name. Well in chapter 2 we said that her sull name was "Alexandra Caroline Huntington" We will stick to only using Alexandra from now because we understand it can be confusing. I hope you guys enjoy this new chapter and don't worry chapter 10 has already been written and is saved so expect another update really soon.~

~Enjoy~

Currently, I feel like the world is spinning.

Wait, is it spinning, or am I having an anxiety attack.

I've been sitting on the couch, staring at all the tasks for the day. It's 4 am, and I have not left this living room since 6 pm yesterday. You may ask yourself why is that well let me explain it to you.

Every year there is a monumental event in New York City called New York Fashion Week. A little context on fashion week was founded in 1943. All the new collections are shown to prospective buyers, celebrities, millionaires heiresses, and other wealthy people in the business.

And Styles Publications has two big events big event every year at the end of fashion week the first is when they book a glamorous venue for their prominent and influential fashion show which shows the collections from the biggest up and coming designers in the business it's called Styles Top Ten designers to watch and then they have a party after the show in another venus for both events they invite all the creative designers, buyers, editors in chiefs, millionaires, models and everyone else who has the status or privilege to attend the most exclusive events during New York Fashion Week and guess who is in charge for this year's seating chart, catering and rsvp for this year's event.

If you said Alexandra, you are sadly mistaken, it's me. You may ask why would such a prestigious company put me in charge of doing all of these critical tasks for this event and not her. Well, that's because Alexandra has been stressed with wedding planning and being on the cover of next months of Styles with Niall to celebrate their wedding being the second most significant event in NYC this year.

If I'm being honest, I have no idea why she is so stressed about the wedding planning if I am the one doing most of the planning. All she does is yell at everyone because apparently none of the 15 assistants before me or the numerous employees who have tried to help her plan are complete imbeciles.

Why I am complaining, Harry did make her creative director and Editor in Chief of the magazine, so she obviously knows what she's doing.

Right?

Oliver and I have been living together in the West Village for a year. He is most likely still asleep and I really don't wanna wake him up so I guess it's another night of sleeping on the living room couch and pretending that I fell asleep here by accident. Honestly, when Oliver got his big job at the biggest Law Firms in New York City I was so supportive and stayed up with him until he finished working most nights.

However, when it comes to me he just falls asleep as soon as he comes back from company dinners.

He does work very hard so I guess I shouldn't be too mad at him. Before I got the job at Styles Publications he was the only one making a stable income. Therefore I was basically living off of my family and my trust fund. No wonder my parents have been pushing us to get married, if I'm being honest it was a lot for me to move in with Oliver. I always felt that everything was moving really fast and I just wanted to take everything slowly.

Why am I even thinking about this at 4 am? I should check the time. I see that it's now 4:53 am. How did I spend 53 minutes just thinking about life? How did that go by so fast? Soon enough I was drifting off into a dreamless sleep.

"Annabella"

"ANNABELLA"

I woke up to Oliver yelling my name, not a very peaceful way to wake up.

"What is wrong!?"

"Your phone has been going off for the last 30 minutes I have no idea how you can sleep through that atrocious alarm."

Looking at my phone to turn off the alarm I realize I have 20 minutes to get ready and get to the Company.

Shit

"Oliver I'm late why didn't you wake me up earlier, Alexandra is going to fucking fire me."

I say running to our bathroom and trying to wash my face from day-old makeup so I can at least do my makeup and just change my outfit. There's no time to take a shower now.

"Well babe, that's called being a working adult you need to know how to do these things for yourself," he said walking past me quickly kissing my cheek.

Before I could say anything, even relatively rude, he continued.

"When is the fashion thing that you wanted me to go to?"

"It's on Friday, I hope you can make it," I said smiling sadly

He smiles walking to the kitchen to make breakfast. Maybe he is right. I do need to learn how to go through my life by myself and be responsible. I look into my vanity mirror and realize that I am tearing up. Why am I such a baby? I really need to learn how to take criticism and not be too emotional about it.

I quickly get dressed and head to the kitchen where Oliver is already eating breakfast. I give him a quick kiss, pick up a bagel from the counter, and immediately realize that I have 10 minutes to get to work. I decide to take a cab to work today.

As soon as I get into the cab I immediately tell the driver that I'm in a rush and before I know it was speeding down the highway.

I quickly get in the office with two minutes to spare and I'm running to the elevator and see an intern in the elevator, she was the same one that was running out of Alexandra's office on my first day I see a fresh cup of coffee in her hand and realize I forgot to get Alexandra her morning cup of coffee.

As we are getting out of the elevator I take the coffee out of her hand which shocks her and I quickly tell her I need it for Alexandra she seemed mad at first but quickly gave me a knowing smile.

As soon as I get to her office I stop in shock when I see Mr.Styles, his assistant Mia and Alexandra in her office all talking.

"Well it took you long enough to get here," says Alexandra

I quickly give her, the cup of coffee which she takes without saying thank you she then proceeds to say,

"Annabella, Harry, and I are switching our assistants today. Give Mia all of your notes for the event and leave with Harry. You have a busy day today, don't embarrass me."

My eyes immediately go to Mr.Styles.
