Behind The Desk, Under The Mask Chapter 29: Damn you, Winston!
♡♡Louis POV ♡♡I hadn’t eaten all day.Not because I wasn’t hungry. I was furious. There was a difference.The food Winston had prepared that morning was still sitting on the table, cold and untouched. I had looked at it several times throughout the day, and every single time my irritation had returned. He had left. Just like that. No explanation. No message. Nothing.Who did he think he was?I picked up my phone again and stared at the screen. No message. I called. Nothing. I called again. Still nothing. My jaw tightened.“Unbelievable.”I dropped the phone onto the table. Winston was my secretary. My employee. The person whose job was to keep me informed, not disappear whenever he pleased. And yet somehow I was the one sitting inside his penthouse like an idiot, waiting for him to return.I hated that. I hated the waiting. I hated the uncertainty. Most of all, I hated the fact that I was even bothered by it.I should have left. That would have been the sensible thing to do. Except I
Behind The Desk, Under The Mask Chapter 28: Absent
♤♤Winston POV ♤♤ Camille's eyes remained on me a moment longer than necessary. "Who was that?" she asked quietly, her voice low enough that only I would hear. "A friend?" I kept my expression even. "Nothing important." She studied me for a second, as if deciding whether to press further. Before she could, the office door opened again. Mr. Everton walked in. He moved with the effortless confidence of a man accustomed to being listened to without having to demand it. Tall, impeccably dressed, and composed, he carried the same quiet calculation Camille seemed to have inherited. His gaze swept across the room before settling on my father. "Vance." My father rose slightly from his chair. "Everton. I wasn't expecting you this early." "I finished earlier than planned." His attention shifted briefly to Camille. "I thought I'd collect my daughter while I was here." Camille stood. "Father." He gave her a small nod before turning his attention back to the room. "Winston." "Mr. Ever
Behind The Desk, Under The Mask Chapter 27: Waiting
♤♤Winston POV ♤♤I closed the penthouse door behind me. The lock clicked into place with a soft finality. Louis was still inside. My father stood a few steps away in the quiet hallway, waiting.No. He couldn’t see Louis.I turned toward the elevator without hesitation. “The restaurant,” I said.My father glanced at me. “You’re going somewhere?”“I haven’t eaten.”“Now?”“Yes.”He studied me for a moment, the same measured look he had used on me for years. Then he nodded. “Then let’s go.”I pressed the elevator button. That was better. Away from the door. Away from the quiet threat still sitting in my kitchen.---I drove while my father sat beside me in silence. The early morning traffic moved steadily beneath us, but my thoughts remained fixed on the penthouse. Louis would leave soon. He had work waiting. He wouldn’t stay there indefinitely. By the time I returned, he would already be at the office—irritated, perhaps, but manageable.“You’ve been away from the company too long,” Fath
Behind The Desk, Under The Mask Chapter 26: Come with me
♤♤Winston POV ♤♤ Morning came quietly. I was already dressed by the time the first light began slipping through the windows. Jacket buttoned, watch fastened, briefcase within reach. Leaving early wasn’t unusual. As Louis’s secretary I preferred being at the office before him. It gave me time to review his schedule, deal with whatever had accumulated overnight, and—more importantly—maintain the image I’d spent years building. Efficient. Unremarkable. Just another employee. I reached for the door. “Are you already leaving?” I stopped. Louis stood at the end of the hallway, looking as though sleep hadn’t completely released him yet. His hair was slightly disordered, the strands still soft from the pillow, and his eyes were narrowed against the morning light. Bare feet on the polished floor. Shirt half-buttoned from the night before. He looked nothing like the sharp, demanding CEO who filled every room at the office. “Yes.” He looked at my briefcase, then at me. “You’re lea
Behind The Desk, Under The Mask Chapter 25: Your kind of Men
♤♤Winston POV ♤♤I close my laptop and stand. Louis watches me from the sofa, his arms still loosely folded, his eyes following every movement as though he’s waiting for me to change my mind.“You said you’d escort me.”“I remember.”“I don’t know where I’m going.”“It’s a hallway.”“It’s your hallway. I don’t know it.”I give him a look—the kind I usually reserve for him when he’s being deliberately difficult at the office. He simply waits, his expression unchanged, as though the request is perfectly reasonable. I sigh.“Fine. Come on.”I lead him through the penthouse. The soft click of our footsteps is the only sound for a while. Louis looks around as we walk, clearly taking everything in—the quiet expanse of the living area, the rain streaking the floor-to-ceiling windows in uneven silver lines, the low lighting that never quite reaches the corners, and the city lights outside, distant and softened by the weather. His gaze lingers on a piece of abstract art near the hallway entran
Behind The Desk, Under The Mask Chapter 24: Lead the way
♤♤Winston POV ♤♤By the time the elevator doors opened onto the penthouse floor, Louis hadn't stirred once.His head rested against my shoulder, his breathing slow and even, one hand loosely curled against my chest as if he'd forgotten the rest of the world existed.I unlocked the front door and carried him inside.The apartment was quiet.Too quiet.I walked straight to the guest bedroom, nudged the door open with my foot, and crossed to the bed."You're going to complain about your back tomorrow," I murmured.He didn't answer.Of course he didn't.Carefully, I lowered him onto the mattress.He shifted slightly, frowned in his sleep, then sighed as though the bed had solved every problem he'd ever had.I crouched beside him and slipped off his shoes, setting them neatly by the bed.The blanket came next.I pulled it over his shoulders.Louis turned onto his side almost immediately, hugging the pillow with surprising determination."...Five more minutes..."I blinked.A quiet laugh es
