#27 : Trust

Taylor sighed. It's been almost five times that she has been pacing irregularly. Andrea watched her daughter with a confused face. Taylor looks very nervous.

"When will you stop pacing back and forth like that? I'm tired of seeing it." Andrea said making Taylor stop. Taylor looked at her mother closely. Her face looks really restless.

"It's been five days and Harry hasn't called me. What if something happens?"

Andrea sighed. "Do you want to go back to London now?" Andrea asked. Taylor shook her head.

"No, I promised him. I have to wait for him to come and pick me up."

"Tay, if that's the case, can you sit still? I'm already getting dizzy seeing you like that. Besides, you shouldn't be too stressed out. It could be dangerous for your child's health." Andrea's advice. Taylor gave up and sat on the edge of the bed beside her.

"Harry didn't called me at all. Normally, he would tell me what's happening back in Cheshire or in London. Although, he didn't even texted me a single message." Taylor stared at her phone on the table. Andrea pulled Taylor into her arms.

"Calm down, okay? You said, that I should believe in you and Harry. If I'm going to believe you two, then you should believe him and trust him too. Don't think negatively, okay?" Taylor nodded her head restlessly.

Harry took a deep breath and drove to Styles Enterprise. He didn't sleep all night — couldn't sleep — because he couldn't stop thinking of ways on how to solve all his problems as quickly as possible. Harry missed his wife, of course but, on the other hand, Harry tried to get away first. All for the common good.

Harry's vision caught the figure of the girl he had hired at Styles Enterprise, as well as his best friend, who appeared to be entering a small company. Harry held his breath. The small company is owned by John Styles. That company won't even compare to Styles Enterprise. It was only a small company that's currently the source of John's financial resources.

Harry wondered what was Emily doing there for?

Yes, it was Emily. Harry clearly saw that Emily stepped into the company after exiting the taxi. On the way to Styles Enterprise, Harry was already accustomed by passing through the little company owned by John.

Harry decided to pull over his car not far from the company. Harry took off his jacket and grabbed the black leather jacket that was placed in the back seat of his car. Harry grabbed the hat and also the sunglasses that was there. Harry did have quite a lot of stuff - which he could use - in his car.

Feeling like he was starting to be disguised, Harry got out of the car, and walked towards the wall lined with potted plants while peering in the direction of the small company. Harry waited for several tens of minutes before he found Emily coming out of there.

Harry chuckled while Emily approached. Harry wasn't that far from where he was hiding, and there was a bus stop. Maybe Emily intends to go home by riding bus?

However, before Emily could reach the bus stop, Harry had already grabbed her arm and pulled the girl in where Harry was hiding.

"What the heck ?!" snapped Emily.

"Shut up!" Harry snapped back and Emily was speechless at Harry. Harry pushed Emily's body, so that Emily's body crashed onto the wall behind her. Harry took off the sunglasses he was wearing and looked sternly at Emily.

"What were you doing in there?" Harry asked while Emily shook her head stiffly.

"I– I. . . I didn't do anything!" Emily answered.

Harry shook his head. "No. You must be doing something. You're up to something with them! Are you really stupid as I think or what? You've already confessed your involvement with all the problems in my family and now, you're still trying to involve yourself with my family again. What the hell, Emily?!"

"Harry, I. . ."

"I warned you to stay away from my family! From everyone! Why is it so hard to tell you, huh?! Are you really happy to see my family suffer?!" Harry snapped while Emily was astonished and bowed her head.

"S-Sorry. I– I just. . . I just want to finish my business with them. I. . . I don't want to be involved anymore."

"It's a lie. You must be lying, right?" Emily shook her head.

"N-No. I'm not lying. I really came here to finish my business. I. . . I've decided to stay away since you fired me. So. . . so, I went to John to settle everything." Emily's eyes looked scared, but who wouldn't be when Harry Styles gives you a deadly and killer look, if looks could kill, Emily would've been dead minutes ago.

"John?" Harry raised an eyebrow. Emily nodded slowly.

"Y-yes. John. He's the mastermind behind everything. He. . . he asked me to. . . to seduce you." Harry made his eyes round.

"But yesterday you said Adam did all of that!" Emily shook her head again.

"N-No. I– I don't know what to say. Yesterday you also immediately talked about Adam. I. . . I was afraid. So I just agreed with your accusation at Adam at that time."

Harry's breathing was uneven. Harry grabbed Emily's wrist and pulled her towards the car. Emily didn't try to squirm or to break free from Harry, she was obeying because of her fear.

"You're going to help me find Adam, whether you like it or not."

"Wait, wait! What about Elizabeth? Or Victoria? Or maybe Katherine?"

Taylor could only roll her eyes when she saw Abigail and Karlie who were sitting on the carpet near Taylor's bed, engrossed in looking for baby girl names on Taylor's laptop. Taylor's two friends looked very enthusiastic. In fact, Taylor wasn't even enthusiastic at all.

"Don't! Just name it like Hollywood actresses! Like Angelina, Drew, Rosie, Lily, Emma, ​​Helena! Those are pretty good names if you'll combine it with the surname Styles!" Abigail added Karlie's words. Karlie chuckled.

"Idiot! Those are the names of your favorite actresses! What if Madonna, Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Britney Spears–" Karlie didn't had the time to continue when Abigail threw a pillow at her.

"Idiot! Those are names of your favorite singers!"

Taylor stared at her best friends. "You guys! My child isn't even born yet! So stop looking for names for my baby."  Karlie squinted at Taylor.

"You idiot! You should be prepared for this, so that later, when she'll be born, she will have a nice name and nickname!" Taylor frowned.

"But Harry and I will immediately name her when she's born!"

Seeing Karlie who is now even arguing with Taylor, Abigail hurriedly stood between the two women before their argument could get even more heated.

"Stop! Karlie, have you forgotten what's our initial purpose here? It's to cheer up Taylor, not to fight with her! And Taylor, you should be able to control your emotions more because it will affect your baby later."

Karlie and Taylor both took a deep breath and exhaled. "I'm sorry. I was just overdramatic. I forgot if that you were  pregnant, Taylor." Karlie said, smiling broadly, Taylor chuckled and nodded her head.

"Yes, I'm sorry too. I'm very emotional lately."

"Taylor you have to tell me, how do you feel right now? My mother said that during a pregnancy, it's time when a wife would always want to be spoiled and cared for by her husband. Do you feel that way?" Abigail asked suddenly, trying to forget the little argument between Karlie and Taylor. Karlie also looked interested about this discussion.

Taylor was silently thinking. To be honest, all of that is true, but Harry couldn't be here to care for her right now because there was a considerable distance between her and Harry.

"Are you serious about not knowing where Adam is now?" Harry asked sharply to Emily who sat beside him. Emily shook her head.

"I don't know anything about Adam. I've never had anything to do with him. I only deal with his parents." Harry hit the steering wheel.

"Damn, then what does all of this mean? I'm sure Adam must be involved in all of this!"

Emily shook her head again. "No, Adam might've had the intention to destroy your family. As long as I know Adam, I'm sure he doesn't have that bad thought at all." Harry glanced over before focusing on the road.

"Adam himself confessed everything to me. He intends to destroy my family. He even likes my wife. He ordered Sam to screw up my sister. He ordered you to–"

"How many times do I have to tell you? I wasn't ordered by Adam! I wasn't paid by him to tempt you! He isn't involved at all!" Emily said while Harry smiled sarcastically.

"Is that so? You all deliberately confused me. Adam admitted all his mistakes and never involved his parents' names in the situation. Then, you said that you were ordered by Adam's parents and Adam wasn't involved at all. What kind of game are you all playing, huh?"

Emily just kept quiet and bowed her head. Emily doesn't know what to say. What's clear is that she knew that once Harry didn't trust someone, he would never trust that person again.

In the current case, Harry doesn't trust Emily nor Adam.
