Miss Brown, Keep It Down Chapter 70: What He Noticed
The day released them slowly, like it wasn’t quite ready to let go. By the time Katherine stepped out of the building, the glass façade of Mason Equity was already catching the last of the sun, reflecting it back in muted gold instead of its usual cold steel. The lobby behind her hummed with departure — heels clicking, voices loosening, the collective exhale of people who had survived another day without collapsing. She paused for a moment on the steps, rolling her shoulders back, letting the tension settle where it always did — between her spine and her pride. Her phone was already in her hand, thumb hovering over the screen, ready to check emails she knew would still be there no matter how long she pretended otherwise. “Hey.” Sebastian’s voice came from her left, low and unhurried. She turned. He stood a few feet away, jacket slung over one arm, tie gone, sleeves rolled just enough to suggest he’d stopped performing hours ago. The setting sun caught in his hair, softening
Miss Brown, Keep It Down Chapter 69: Fire on the 17th Floor
The first light of morning bled through the half-closed curtains, soft and golden, cutting faint lines across the floor. The city outside was barely awake, its noise still a rumor that hadn’t reached the penthouse yet. Katherine stirred first. The sheet slipped from her shoulder as she shifted onto her side, her hair a loose tangle that caught the early light. For a moment she just looked — the kind of quiet observation she’d never allow herself in daylight. Sebastian lay beside her, one arm bent under his head, the other resting over the blanket that had half fallen to the floor. His face, usually sharpened by tension and strategy, looked different now — softer, almost peaceful. The faint shadow of stubble traced his jaw, his lips parted slightly with each even breath. Katherine let out a sound that was almost a laugh. “You look almost human when you’re unconscious.” His eyes didn’t open right away. “I’d say the same,” he murmured, voice roughened by sleep, “but I’m afraid yo
Miss Brown, Keep It Down Chapter 68: The Win, Unbuttoned
The office had begun to empty, leaving behind only the mechanical hum of air conditioning and the faint glow of monitors that no one had bothered to turn off. The city outside was shifting from gold to indigo, the sun bleeding into the skyline like the aftertaste of something that had finally burned out. Katherine sat at her desk, posture still perfect, though her shoulders had long since given up pretending they weren’t sore. The glow from her laptop painted her face in cold light, catching the delicate exhaustion beneath her composure — a quiet proof of the hours she’d spent fighting to keep her pulse steady through numbers, questions, and power plays. The cursor blinked on an unfinished email, and for the first time that day, she didn’t rush to finish it. Her reflection in the screen stared back — the same blazer, the same tied hair, the same eyes that refused to betray how drained she truly was. The soft click of a door pulled her from the trance. Sebastian stood there.
Miss Brown, Keep It Down Chapter 67: The Meeting That Decides Everything
Los Angeles looked too calm for what the morning was supposed to be. The streets were washed in soft light, the kind that made glass shine and nerves hide. The city, always loud and restless, seemed to be holding its breath — as if even it knew that something was about to be decided. Katherine stepped out of the car and smoothed the front of her blazer, though her hands were already cold. She caught her reflection in the glass doors of the Mason Equity building — hair pinned back neatly, shoulders straight, every inch of her composed. No one could tell she hadn’t really slept. No one but him. The moment she entered the lobby, she felt it: the silence under the surface. Phones still rang, shoes still clicked across the floor, but voices were lower than usual, glances shorter, movements tighter. People greeted her with polite nods, but every “good morning” carried the same hidden question — Did you hear? Did you see the email? Are we ready? She didn’t answer any of it. She jus
Miss Brown, Keep It Down Chapter 66: Between Calm and Collision
The next morning unfolded with an almost deceptive calm.The city outside glimmered under a pale, early light — cool, washed clean after the night — and for the first time in days, Katherine didn’t wake with that familiar tightness in her chest. The echoes of yesterday — the uncertainty, the chaos, the pressure of Halworth’s judgment — still existed somewhere in the background, but they no longer felt immediate.Instead, her mind drifted back to the terrace. The light on the horizon. The quiet certainty in Sebastian’s voice.This feels inevitable.By the time she stepped into the Mason Equity building, she was steady again — or at least steady enough to fake it. The lobby buzzed softly with restrained tension: clipped footsteps, phones pressed to ears, whispered mentions of Halworth Group. Everyone moved like they were holding their breath, waiting for an answer that hadn’t yet come.But Katherine felt oddly separate from it. She greeted people with a small nod, ignored the side glanc
Miss Brown, Keep It Down Chapter 65: A Different View
The hallway outside the conference room still buzzed faintly with the echoes of footsteps, murmured speculation, the scrape of leather folders being carried away. But inside Sebastian’s temporary office, the silence was almost heavy.Katherine sank into one of the chairs near the desk, her tablet still in her hands though she hadn’t looked at the screen since leaving the meeting. Her shoulders were tense, her jaw tight, her pulse still out of rhythm. The adrenaline had drained out of her, leaving her hollow, as if Halworth’s eyes were still on her even though the room was empty.Sebastian closed the door behind them with a soft click. Not the polite nudge of a handle, but a deliberate push, sealing them off from the building and its noise. He didn’t speak right away. He simply studied her — the faint pallor of her face, the way her hand trembled as she tried to set the tablet down, the way she pressed her lips together to stop them from quivering.Finally, he moved across the room and
