Harry-

My fingers tapped the keys of my computer, writing out an email to one of my mates about their album I was producing. Running a record label, recording studio and trying to record music of my own is beyond stressful. I loved it though, keeping busy kept my mind from the reality of my life. I took my lip in-between my teeth as I pressed send. The swoosh sound confirming the email has gone through. I sighed, rubbing my face with my hands before glancing at the time. 2:30pm, just a few more hours and I would be home, staring at my piano trying to form lyrics in my head. I closed my eyes for a second, it could have only been a second but they reopened with the knock on my office door.

"Come in," I spoke, shutting the top to my laptop and resting my hands on top of it. Jenna walked in, her long blonde hair was tied up in a neat bun, her body was adored by black and white plaid plants and a black blouse, she held her tablet in her hand. Her brown eyes met mine as she smiled at me.

"Hi Mr. Styles, I just wanted to check if you were ready for your meeting with building board this afternoon?" I nodded at her before standing from my chair, stretching and grabbing my phone from my desk. I walked to her, shoving my hands in the pockets of my light blue slacks. "Mr.Henry can't make it, his assistant called to cancel but he is sending his son Patrick in his place," her words came out rushed, like she was trying to get everything out before we reached the hallway.

"That's fine, this shouldn't take long anyway he's probably not even necessary today," She nodded, typing things of her tablet before her eyes met mine. "Jenna, you can slow down you know," She giggled before pressing the button for the elevator.

"I know, I just want this meeting to be perfect, you have worked so hard for this..." her voice trailed off, she bit her lip. "You deserve this Mr. Styles, and I don't want to be the one to screw it up," I shook my head, placing my hand on her small shoulder.

"Jenna you could never screw this up, we have both been working ourselves to the bone to get this addition to the building approved. It hasn't been all me and I want you to acknowledge that, because I certainly have," She nodded, a small smile spreading across her lips. This was it, today was the day we finalized the addition to our building, the addition of a recording studio on my floor. I've been working to get this started for over a year and today it was finally happening. I was finally going to get to start recording at my own office instead of having to spend half the week across London to record and half the week here answering emails and hosting meetings. "Oh and Jenna," She met my eyes as we stepped into the lift. "Call me Harry please," I smiled, my finger pushing the button for floor 15. She nodded at me before turning to watch the numbers on the lift go down.


My knees bounced as we waited for everyone to enter the large board room. Jenna stood beside me, her eyes staring at the entrance. I followed her gaze, her eyes landing on a young man who just entered the room, he was tall probably about 5'11, he was wearing a black button down that tucked into his black and white stripped slacks. I watched as he took a seat in Mr. Henry's chair and pulled out his laptop. My eyes flicked back to Jenna, who seemed to be practically drooling over him at this point, I chuckled softly causing her eyes to snap to me, her cheeks turning a light red before she mumbled a soft "Shut up," to me. Before I could respond Patrick cleared his throat, standing from his seat and nodding at everyone in the room.

"Hello everyone, I just wanted to apologize for the absence of my father and his lovely assistant, he was rushed out of town on very important business but he has already approved the addition to the building that Mr. Styles has requested, if anyone has any objections to this addition please, speak up now," His voice was confident, eyes scanning the room watching as everyone nodded their heads or mumbled small "approved"'s before they landed on mine. I nodded, standing as he took his seat.

"First, I just want to thank everyone for taking a break from their assuringly busy schedules to be here this afternoon, I have worked for over a year now to start working on the next chapter of expansion for my record label and this is it," I moved my eyes around the room, making eye contact with everyone before continuing. "building a recording studio on my floor will be taking my company to the next level andI am so excited to continue with this new chapter! Thank you all again for allowing me to expand here," I smiled before turning my attention to Jenna. "and a special thank you to my assistant Jenna Hapling for all the help she has given me while trying to figure out the best situation for the building as a whole, I could not have done this without her," My hands gestured to Jenna beside me, she smiled and held her hand up, waving at everyone before continuing to type on her tablet as everyone clapped their hands. I took my seat once again before another board member stood, he talked about the approval and how he was happy to see that everyone was very supportive of the continued success of my label, he drifted off into other building wide issues as I tried to pay attention but my mind wondered to the new found possibilities, maybe I'd finally be able to get a decent amount of sleep without having to worry if Niall could handle the office on his own all the time.

The rest of the meeting dragged on as I tried to listen but before I knew it we were all saying our goodbyes and going back to our normal schedules. I was about to leave the room when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see Patrick, he has a small smile on his lips before he spoke.

"Mr. Styles," He nodded, "Good to finally meet you, my father talks greatly of you," He held his hand out to me, I shook it.

"You as well Patrick, and its Harry mate," He chuckled, his eyes shifting slightly to focus on the women that stood beside me. I laughed before pulling the door open. "I'll be in my office Jenna please email me the notes you took from today," and before either of them had a chance to respond I was out the door.
