Chapter Thirty: Nothing Left

**Ashlyn's POV**

I gave Steve the directions to my house, not wanting to be in the same place as Harry Styles, so that the boys could get their stuff. He continually repeated how sorry he was for my misfortune but I knew he was lying. He had told me in a past meeting that in the end I wouldn't want to have anything to do with Harry Styles. And he was right.

Absolutely right.

I wanted nothing to do with Harry. I was tired of being hurt by him. I wanted a normal life, not this stupid chaotic life of One Direction.

"Miss Ashlyn?" Stephanie knocked on my office door, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Everything's ready to be signed over," she said sadly and I nodded for her to bring it in. She'd probably lose her job after Steve takes the company.

Stephanie walked in followed by a guy in a grey suit. He sat in front of me and waits quietly for Stephanie to leave the room. She glanced at me for a command and I nodded for her to leave. There was no point in her sticking around anyways.

"Alright, first off, Steve has requested for the taking of the entirety of Adams Inc," the man began and started flipping pages. I sighed in my seat and looked for a pen in the drawers.

"Okay."

"This includes the building and every branch of business that Adams Inc extends to."

"Okay."

"The name will be changed to his pleasing and he will become CEO in place of you. You are entitled to be paid the amount of money your company is worth and will also receive benefits of all previous success stories of Adams Inc up to this day, as they are under your name and not Steve's," the man spoke in a dull tone, hardly looking up from the papers in front of him.

I didn't even care. "Okay," I said, leaning on my hands.

"Signing these papers will be a legal process in which Steve will receive Adams Inc and become One Direction's new manager."

"Wait, one question. Why is it only One Direction and not the past people?" I asked. Even though I was dying of boredom I had questions.

The man sighed impatiently and looked at me down the bridge of his nose. Looking at it now, it was a huge nose. He was probably Italian or some other kind of European.

"The past artists, bands, etc have been signed under your parents' company and name. Seeing as they are currently not being managed by you personally, they are not being switched to Steve. One Direction however is your current client."

Blah. Blah. Blah. I was bored. This guy sure did talk a lot.

"Also, in signing these papers-"

"Just give me the papers. I get it. I lose the company, One Direction, still gain benefits, etc, etc," I muttered and reached for the papers.

The man slid the papers towards me and watched as I signed in the directed places. A squiggle here, another squiggle here, printed name here. Blah. Blah. Blah.

"There. Done," I said and handed back the papers, leaning into the chair. "You can leave."

The man looked at me confused but stood up. "Thank you for your time," he held out his hand and I ignored it. He dropped his hand down and left the room, muttering something under his breath. I didn't care as to what it had been.
