Harry's pov
I growled throwing another stack of papers haphazardly on my desk
"Are you fucking serious?!" I screamed tearing open another filing cabinet drawer
I heard a knock "WHAT?!"
Alexis stepped in
I called her in on her day off because I couldn't find my contract with a manufacturer it was drafted when my father was still CEO (meaning no digital copies that I could get my hands on) and they are now trying to play me for a fucking fool and say I've not been paying them enough
Until this is resolved they are halting their business so I need to find this contract as soon as possible and I trust her to find it
"Mr.Styles... your office... what happened?" She was wide eyed
"I'm looking for a contract between us and Sonic Lens it's a camera company I've been looking for it all fucking morning they are trying to extort money from me or stop business all together" I hissed
"Okay... um do you know the year it was drafted up and signed?" She asked picking up the papers that had scattered onto the floor closer to the door
"NO" I slammed the filing cabinet drawer
She jumped "it's alright we are going to find it" she smiled and tapped the stack of papers on my desk to straighten them then laid them down "where are all of these from?" She turned a few papers her way to read them
"2017 and 2016 S contracts" I sighed heavily trying to calm myself down some
She walked over to the filing cabinet I was standing in front of "how about I check in here?"
"I JUST LOOKED" my anger flared back to life
"I know but a second set of eyes can't hurt" she opened the drawer again I groaned and walked to my desk I looked at all the useless papers I grunted and swiped all the papers off my desk which accidentally sent off a few pens and a few other miscellaneous items
"Fucking useless shit" I sat in my chair rubbing my face
"How did the previous secretary file these?" Alexis asked
"I DONT KNOW!" I threw up my hands "stupid fucking bullshit" I cursed
"Mr.Styles It's here we just have to look" she hummed cheerfully
"IVE BEEN LOOKING THIS IS RIDICULOUS! WE'RE NOT GUNNA FUCKING FIND IT" I was beyond frustrated and the mess I made wasn't helping
"We will you've got to have patience" she kept a calm tone
I looked at her "ITS A WASTE OF MY FUCKING TIME"
She nodded "well I don't disagree, but that's why I'm here and I will find it"
I stood up I started grabbing papers crumpling them in my hand as I attempted to pick up mumbling curse words under my breath I heard her close that drawer she stood there for a moment "what?" I asked gruffly
"The previous secretary filed these by product then in alphabetical order of company making the product so... you'd have to look in the L section for Lens...? Is there anything else they make?"
"You're not fucking serious? WHO THE HELL FILES LIKE THAT?!"
"Your father and his secretary" she opened another drawer
I looked at my handful of papers I just took all this shit out for nothing I went through drawer after drawer paper after paper for NO FUCKING REASON
"THIS IS THE BIGGEST PISS OFF THE FUCKING PRICK CONTACTS ME! WHAT A TWAT THAT-"
"Mr.Styles!" I turned "you have got to calm down" she crossed her arms
"What?" I furrowed my eyebrows in disbelief that she cut me off
"We have this, we will find the contract soon but shouting doesn't help" she clapped smiling happily "so would you like to get lunch? How about you play some music?"
"That doesn't help!" I crumpled the papers tighter in my fist
She nodded "it does being so mad is what isn't going to help" she put a hand on her hip
I stepped closer "so what is it that you want me to do then? Why is everything you say so damn positive?"
She cocked an eyebrow "Do Not Step Up To Me"
I realized what I did I immediately dropped my shoulders and calmed myself some I dropped the papers that were in my hand I popped my knuckles flexing my fingers "I'm sorry I didn't mean to be threatening toward you"
"Anyway" she turned back toward the drawer "I'm a positive person I don't wanna be negative because it doesn't do anything for anyone"
I felt like I struck a bad cord with her "I'm not used to so much positivity" I clarified
"Then get used to it" she said rather harshly
That left such a bad taste in my mouth I turned to start picking up papers
Only a few minutes later I heard her hum "found it"
I turned back to her "what really?" She held up a small packet I walked over taking it from her I flipped through it "you are brilliant"
She nodded "I know"
I sighed heavily "Alexis please forgive me for my piss poor attitude and you can leave I'll pay you for the whole day"
She bit her lip crossing her arms "are you sure? would you like me to help you clean?"
"I'm fine" I gave her a limp side smirk
She pouted softly "ugh you're like a little puppy, you bit my finger but I forgive you" she tucked her hair back behind her ear "I'll help you refile these"
She had on a pair of converse, denim short shorts, and some kind of band shirt her hair was down with light makeup
"Alexis I'm sure you're busy I can-"
"I got called in thinking I was working the whole day so I'm cleared till 5" she shrugged me off laying a pile on my desk "those are all 2018"
I admired her as she picked up papers I like her rings and her nails every once in awhile when she handed me something or took something her nails would graze my hand...
I noticed her necklace hung out of her shirt it was just a simple chain noting special about it but its beautiful the way it laid perfectly just above the valley of her chest
The floor was clear and there were several piles of papers on my desk "I'll get someone else to finish filing these"
"Okay" she nodded she flicked her head to the side to get her bangs from her face "well I'll see you tomorrow boss"
"Right and once again I'm sorry" I had to apologize again I'm not at all a man who tries to intimidate women into submission that's fucking sick and pitiful
"It's okay just don't do it again" she smiled
"Wouldn't dream of it"
