#3 : Hang Out
Today, Harry allowed Jasmine to take Taylor away. In fact, Harry knew that he really looked like he had imprisoned Taylor by not letting her go to work anywhere. But what else can he do?
Harry wants Taylor to be a complete wife. The wife who gives him a good morning kiss every morning and the wife who'll always welcome him when he gets home from work.
Harry stared anxiously at the clock hanging on the wall of his room. It's already twelve o'clock in the noon and Taylor hasn't contacted Harry yet, she hasn't told him where Jasmine is going to take her. Harry was already worried, Jasmine could bring his wife to a place that shouldn't be, given the fact on how free Jasmine is.
"Mr. Styles."
Harry realized that he wasn't all alone in the room. Harry turned his gaze to Emily Thompson who was standing before him. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Haven't I told you to call me Harry?" Harry asked why Emily shook her head.
"You're my boss, Harry. Maybe outside I can call you Harry, but in the office? Looks like calling you Harry will only make all of your employees jealous and won't like me."
Harry exhaled. "All right, whatever. Well, have you completed your first assignment?" Harry asked as Emily nodded her head and smiled.
"I've finished it earlier. I wanted to tell you, but you look nervous. I'm afraid to bother you. "
"I think you know me very well, considering we were friends since childhood. I don't mind if you want to tell me or ask me anything. It's better to speak and know than to be quiet without knowing, right? " Harry asked as Emily nodded her head.
Harry glanced back at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's twelve o'clock. Time for your break. You can have lunch and come back at one." Harry said firmly. Emily nodded however, did not move at all. Her eyes were still focused on Harry, who seemed to be still absorbed in reading a file.
When Harry realized that Emily wasn't moving from her spot, Harry looked back at his friend.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked.
"Aren't you going to eat lunch?" Emily asked back. Harry paused for a moment before nodding.
"I'll have lunch later."
"So you're just going to let me eat lunch alone?" Emily bit the corner of her lower lip while Harry raised a brow.
"I don't need friends for lunch. Besides, you won't eat alone. There are still many employees who will also have lunch at the office cafeteria."
Emily was actually about to protest at Harry's words, but she hurriedly nodded her head obediently. How could Emily even fight Harry who's the literal his boss here? Although they know each other, they should still be professional.
"All right, I'm going to have lunch now, Styles." Emily turned and walked away, leaving Harry in his office.

Where are you now? Why aren't you picking up any of my calls?
Taylor sighed reading one of the messages that Harry sent her.
Taylor was currently in the salon with Jasmine who was cutting her hair. Harry had called Taylor more than ten times and had sent fifteen messages, only because Taylor had never provided information about her whereabouts.
"It's Harry, isn't it?" Taylor turned her head to hear the voice. Jasmine still had to look straight ahead because her hair wasn't finished yet. Taylor looked into the mirror, with Jasmine's eyes fixed on her. Taylor smiled.
"Yes, of course. Who else would it be?" Taylor said as Jasmine chuckled.
"Just let me remind you that it hasn't been an hour since we left your house. Gosh, how worried is he? Doesn't he trust you to go with me? " Taylor chuckled at Jasmine's words.
"You know he's just very protective and quite annoying. He never lets me free just for a moment. " Jasmine chuckled again.
"Louis is protective too, but he doesn't call me every five minutes just to ask me how I'm doing." Taylor rolled her eyes at Jasmine's insinuating remark.
"But this protective side of Harry indicates that he truly loves me, and it tells me that he's afraid of losing me. " Taylor said confidently.
Jasmine chuckled. "You're too confident, but yeah you're right. He really does loves you. I can see clearly from the way he treats you." Taylor smiled thinly at Jasmine's words.
Taylor did nothing at the salon, other than sitting and accompanying Jasmine to chat with her. Taylor placed her phone on her lap. Taylor looked down to see the wallpaper of her phone screen. It was photo of her with Harry. Taylor took the photo about three days ago.
In the photo, Taylor had her eyes closed while smiling because Harry was kissing her cheek. The photo showed their relationship and romance, even though in was in a simple way.
Just a few seconds after looking at the photo, Taylor's phone rang. Harry's name appeared on Taylor's phone screen. Taylor chuckled before reaching for her phone as she rose to her feet.
"Jas, I'll be right back." Taylor said to Jasmine who only responded with a thumbs-up.
Taylor picked up the call when she got out of the salon. She pressed the phone on her left ear and she could immediately hear Harry's voice from the other line.
'Where are you?'
Taylor held her breath for a moment before glancing at the salon banner to know where she was. She's currently in Franchise Salon.
"Harry, I'm fine. You sound like a mother who's worrying about her lost children."
'Just don't allow Jasmine to take you to weird places, all right? And when I said weird places, I'm talking about strip clubs, bars and such. And if she ever takes you there, just call me and I'll pick you up right away.' Harry said as if he was lecturing a child. Taylor could only chuckle at Harry's words.
"I'm at the Franchise Salon. Take it easy, Harry. This is really a salon. Jasmine didn't take me to a 'weird places'."
'Alright, alright. When you're done with your girls day out, call me. I'll go and pick you up.'
"Copy that, Mr. Styles I'll call you directly." Taylor chuckled at her own words.
'See you later, Babe. I love you.'
"Harry, wait!"
Harry was about to end the call when Taylor suddenly called his name and made Harry stop from ending the call.
'What's wrong, love?' Harry asked.
"Don't forget to have lunch. I know that you still hadn't had your lunch yet." Taylor said. Taylor can hear Harry's annoyance from the other end of the line. Seconds later, Harry replied Taylor's words.
'So do you. Don't forget to have lunch. See you later and remember, don't let Jasmine take you to strange places. I love you, Taytay!" Taylor smiled broadly at the sudden nickname Harry called her.
"I love you too, Hazza."
━━
I'm waiting for you at Starbucks near Bougenville park.
Harry smiled while reading Taylor's short message. At the very least, Taylor actually kept her promise to tell Harry where she was, so that Harry could pick her up.
Harry allows Taylor to be friends with anyone, but it's a whole different explanation when it comes to Jasmine. Harry is much more familiar with Jasmine, and that's why he gets worried when Taylor hangs out with her. Because Jasmine having "fun" is very different on how Taylor haves fun.
"Emily,"
Harry called Emily who seemed to be typing something on the laptop that Harry provided for her to work on. Emily turned her attention from the laptop to Harry. Emily raised her eyebrows.
"Yes?"
Harry pointed at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's four in the afternoon. Your work shift is up. Tidy up the table immediately and you can go home to rest. " Harry said firmly.
This is the first time Harry had reminded his employees to remember their work shift.
"But I'm almost done with this last file, give me a few more minutes so I can finish this." Emily said as Harry took a deep breath and slowly sighed. Harry nodded his head.
"All right, but when you're finished, tidy up your desk and go home. Get some rest." Emily nodded.
After Emily finished her work and said goodbye to Harry, Harry hurriedly tidied up his own desk before walking out of his office. Harry locked the door and walked towards the elevator. Harry waited in front of the elevator door after his finger pressed the button.
A few moments later, the elevator door opened and Harry slightly widened his eyes when he saw who was in the elevator.
"Taylor?"
Taylor immediately wrapped her arms around Harry's neck.
"Hey, Harry!" Taylor said cheerfully. Harry chuckled before putting his arms around Taylor's slender waist.
"I thought you're going to wait for me at Starbucks. I was about to go there." Harry said while staring at his wife with a big smile on his lips. Taylor pursed her lips.
"I was waiting for you an hour ago, but you didn't come. So I decided to come here." Taylor explains as she pulled away from Harry. Harry gently stroked Taylor's hair with his right hand while his left hand pressed the elevator button again so that the elevator doors wouldn't close.
"I'm sorry. I just finished my work." Harry said as he invites Taylor back inside the elevator.
"So how did your day with Jasmine go?" Harry asked. His hand was securely wrapped around her waist protectively while Taylor wrapped her arm around Harry's shoulders.
"I accompanied her at the salon for several hours. You should see Jasmine's new hair! Her new hairstyle is quite strange but she said it was cool." Harry chuckled at how energized Taylor was.
"You know that she's strange all the time." Taylor raised a brow at Harry's statement.
"But you loved her and the strangeness that comes along with her." Taylor laughed while Harry rolled his eyes.
"Correction, I did liked her before, yes, I'll admit that. But I never loved her."
"Oh, Harry. Is it true?" Taylor said as she teased Harry.
"Of course. The only girl I've ever fallen in love with is. . ." Harry cupped Taylor's face and brought his face closer to Taylor's.
". . .is with you, Taylor." Harry continued his speech and was just about to narrow the distance between his face and Taylor's face when the elevator door suddenly opened, making him move away from her face while they held back their laughter.
