At nine in the morning, Damien was in the walk-in closet changing when his personal phone rang. Walking across the room with only his pants on, he grabbed a fresh white shirt from the rack and quickly put it on before checking who was calling. When he saw that it was Styles requesting a video conference, he walked over to the window and answered the call.
"Styles," Damien said after answering the call, extending his phone in front of him to show a better angle on the video.
The screen showed two videos—one was Damien's and the other was Styles, at his back were Amelia, Gus, Felix, and Chris. They all waved to greet as Styles quickly typed something on his keyboard and muttered, "Hey—Oh… Um..." Styles swallowed.
