A few days has passed, I already called Mr. Cowell that I'd be free on a Saturday. He told me that I'd meet the boys on that same day which is today. We would be meeting at Starbucks and I felt really nervous. This was going to be my first time seeing Zayn after 2 years. Has he changed a lot? I thought.  I prepared and drove to Starbucks. I went in and saw the heads of a familiar blonde, curls and Zayn's black hair  and then Liam and Louis faces.

I was walking their way and as soon as Liam saw me he immediately looked surprised and stood up. I reached their table and greeted them. Hello everyone! I said professionally. I was supposed to act like I do with my clients and that is to be professional. In this industry I've learned that work is work and leave personal lives out of it. I knew how I should act and that would be professionalism.

Everyone turned their heads to look at me. Including Zayn's. Everyone was surprised to see me especially Zayn. They all stood up and greeted me except for Zayn who just stood up. Mia, how have you been? Louis asked. I've been good thank you. How about all of you? I asked. We've been good just busy with our new album. Liam replied. Oh, that's good to here. I answered.

So, umm... Mia, what brings you here? Harry asked looking a bit curious. Oh! So I see... Mr. Cowell didn't inform you. I'm here to design your suits for an upcoming event. I told them. Wow! Really? Niall said looking excited. Yeah... I replied. Should we start now? I asked. Oh, yes, sure. Liam said and let me sit. Who should I start with first? I asked.

Ooo! Me! Niall said excitedly. Okay, Niall. I smiled. So we started talking about what he'd want to look like in his suit and what he'd be more comfortable in. After that we finished. Next was Harry then Louis then Liam and lastly Zayn.

I was so busy with the other boys that I didn't even notice that all throughout my conversations with the boys and their styles Zayn didn't even talk not once. Why was he acting this way? Does he hate me now? I thought.

I smiled at Zayn and so did he but it was a weak one. I decided to just ask him questions on what he would like but it seemed that he was different. Every time that we'd accidentally look into each other's eyes. He would look away and that made me feel more awkward. Why was he like this?

Zayn would answer my questions but in the most shortest answers. It made me feel like he really didn't want to see me at all. Well, if that's the case then it's okay. I guess life's just like that. You can't always force someone to like you. From now on, I'll just see Zayn as a client and nothing more.

After a few weeks this will be over soon, so I guess I'll just bear this awkwardness. Because for me Work is always work.
