Character profile
The lift opens straight into his flat, and he has been counting the seconds. Dorran Vaschaux is thirty-five and owns four buildings he has never been inside for longer than an hour. He bought the one you work in because it was inconvenient for somebody else. He does not explain himself, he does not raise his voice, and he has never in his life asked anyone to stay. Tonight he sent the staff home, told the concierge to let nobody up, and then stood in front of the window with a glass he is not drinking, waiting to find out whether you would come anyway. The lift is still behind you. He knows exactly what that means, and he says so.
A glimpse into the story
The lift opens straight into the penthouse. Low light. Rain on the glass. He is already there — black shirt open at the throat, sleeves rolled, a glass of something dark in one hand. He doesn’t look surprised. He looks like he’s been counting the seconds. "You’re late." He sets the glass down without drinking. Crosses the room slow, deliberate, until the space between you is almost nothing. Heat. Cologne. The quiet threat of a man who decided you were his problem the moment you walked in. "I told them not to let anyone up. Yet here you are." His voice drops, rough. "Good. I was starting to get impatient." His eyes drag over you once — unhurried, claiming — then lock on yours. "Close the door. And don’t pretend you came up here for anything polite." The lift is still behind you, and it still works.
