three.

"I guess I should finally say hi to the girl I've been waving at for a week straight."

I jumped as a man spoke behind me and I turned to find the brunette man that had indeed been waving at me every morning as he entered the building for a week.

"Finally we meet."

"Ivy right?" He asked and I smiled as I nodded, I had no idea he was Irish. "Niall."

"Nice to finally meet you."

I laughed as Niall shrugged comically as we moved up the queue and I glanced at the menu board,  I didn't know why, I always got the same.

"Guess I don't need to wave at you anymore." Niall sighed and I pouted.

"But it's the best part of my morning."

"Really?" Niall asked, raising an eyebrow, "I thought it was the glare you got from your boss."

I laughed at his statement, his own laugh soon following as I nodded at him.

"Touché, Rebecca is my favourite interaction at eight thirty in the morning." I shook my head, "How'd you know who I was?"

"Looked ya up in the system." Niall shrugged just as I stepped up to order.

"Grande vanilla soy cappuccino please."

"Venti Americano, both to have here please." Niall butted in over my shoulder and I blinked as he tapped his card on the machine before I even realised what was going on.

"Hey!"

"You're welcome." Niall drawled before we moved off to the side and I shook my head.

"You can look people up in the system?" I asked curiously, not that I was going to. "Also, bit creepy."

Niall laughed and shrugged before he ran a hand through his hair, "Well you can't, but the big boss can."

"Are you a big boss?"

"Nah but my boss is the big boss." Niall hummed just as our drinks arrived and he clinked our cups together before he headed for a booth and I slid in opposite him, to be fair I still did have like, eight minutes.

"Do you work with Michelle?" I asked, watching as Niall nodded. "So Mr Styles is your boss?"

Niall nodded again before he regarded me evenly before taking a long sip of his drink.

"Yeh', 'Arry's a mate." Niall said slowly and I chewed my lip.

"So you asked him if you could look up a new employee?" I crinkled my nose, frowning as Niall laughed.

"Oh no," He laughed again. "I just let myself into his office to use his computer, wasn't hard to find you though, with your four attempts of a security card."

I flushed as Niall mentioned my lack of facial skills and I shook my head as my body flamed, it wasn't my fault I'd been raised to smile in photos!

"Well, that and the fact you were already in his search history..."

I blinked as my eyes snapped to Niall's face which was innocent looking as he watched me and I felt my cheeks reheat all over again before I busied myself with drinking.

"How'd you know Michelle?" Niall asked as if he hadn't just told me Mr Styles was looking at my employee folder.

"She sat with me at lunch on my first day." I explained before pausing, "Wow that sounds lame."

"Yeh', it does." Niall deadpanned making me blink before he laughed, "Nah, she's nice like that 'Chelle, she's a good friend. Y'know I've been asking if she wants a drink every day when I come down to get one for like two years and she always says no."
