*Jocelyn's Pov*

"No, no that's the exact opposite of what I told you yesterday." I grit my teeth as I argue with an employee on the phone "I said there has to be one thousand poster boards enlarged and laminated by today! Not one thousand pocket pictures that aren't even fucking laminated." I shout into the phone

"Listen, Ms. Stewarts it was our mistake and I will intend to it now, I promise we have at your office before 5:00 o'clock tonight." Artie the person in charge of this whole assignment

"Better be at my office my 3:15 or your ass is out of here." I spit before slamming my office phone on the desk

These last few days have been the most stressful then it was before Christmas, I ask for a simple task to be done and they had to find a way to fuck that up too. You would think that since I put them through so much shit that they would actually do their job right. I was easy on them at first, but then things weren't getting done the way they needed too, so I became a meaner boss. Still they are dumber then doorknobs.

Its been about four days since my date with Zayn, and it feels great to call him my boyfriend. He comes by everyday to eat lunch with me, and sometimes meets me back at my house for a movie night. You might think its a bit soon to be all lovey-dovey but we've known each other basically our whole life. He wasn't lying when he said he changed, he has been very supportive and when he knows I had a bad day he lets me rant about it to him. His old self would have probably knocked my ass out on the spot right when I opened my mouth.

"Ms. Stewarts, your visitors have arrived." Emma knocks on my door peeping her head through I send her a tight smile

"Let them in, Emma and you can't take your lunch now but before can you make sure everyone knows not to bother me seeing as I have some clients here?" I asks she nods curtly before opening the door wider letting them in

"Hey, Joce'." Liam calls as he walks in with Niall following behind him

"Hey guys, thank god you two are here now we have to wait for the other three." I tell them they just nod as Niall walks over to the window and Liam just sits in the chair fiddling with his hands "Liam, are you okay?" I asks he looks up with a small smile

A couple months back Sophia and him broke things off leaving him crushed, he was so happy being with her that it hurt more when she left then it did with Danielle. I feel for him because I know it hurts, I have felt it before and I don't like it.

"I'm good, I just need to get over her because its been what two-three months now? I sound like a love sick high school boy." he scolds himself I giggle

"Li, its okay to feel that way you two were together for four years, it would be bad if you didn't feel anything at all." I tell him he nods

"I just wish we were together I thought she was THE one, and that we would get married one day." he shakes his head I squat down in front on his pulling his head from his hands

"Nobody ever stays with their high school love, I mean some do and some don't. Maybe you two weren't ready to go that far, maybe you just felt as if you had to stay together because everything you went through together." I breathe out "What I'm trying to say is that this isn't going to be the last time you find someone you love, you might not love them the way you did with Sophia but you will love them because they have found a way to make you smile. You have time Liam, don't waste it worrying about the past 'cause you have a long future ahead of you." I smile he returns it

"Thanks Joce'." he wraps his arms around me

"Always." I whisper

We pull away as I make my way over to the window next to Niall, who is gazing out the window watching the cars pass by. I look at him seeing something different, like there's something he's hiding something or he's upset? Placing my hand on his shoulder, he turns his head seeing his bright blue eyes, dull with sadness.
