The meeting had been exhausting. Louis stretched after they were done and about to head out, were all standing by now. With a quick side glance, he saw Jackson again looking at his phone. Knowing his ex, he sensed it wasn't about Troye, but had to be about something else... or someone else.

The moment he wanted to ask him about it, a hand was placed on his lower back, warming his body immediately.

"Lunch?"

Louis got distracted by the question, looked to his boyfriend, who was looking down at him questioningly.

"Yeah, sure", Louis answered with a slight smile, felt the pressuring feeling in his throat increasing. He wished he could invite Anne to eat with them. Instead, he had to feel bad, while the woman was packing her stuff. Maybe she didn't want to have lunch with Louis. But she sure would love to eat with Harry.

"Actually", he hesitated. Louis' arm reached to Harry, so his hand touched his chest.

"Would you mind to eat in my room?"

Surprised, Harry blinked, but nodded nevertheless.

"No, of course not"

To support his words, the hand on Louis' back stroked over it for a moment. It didn't help against the guilt that seemed to overwhelm the mafia leader more every second that passed while they were in the same room as Anne Twist.

So he avoided her eyes completely, looked to his security, who had stood up as well as the others.

"Liam, can you organize lunch in my room for me and Harry?"

Liam, looking from Niall to his boss, nodded. He hid his reaction; just like the others in the room. Still, they all looked at Louis now, caught back by how the mafia leader had talked to him. He had asked him to do something instead of ordering it. Plus, his voice had been softer and quieter than normally.

"Sure, L'eau Courante"

Unlike Liam, Miley couldn't hide her surprise, raised her eyebrows. Anne tried to hide her reaction just like Niall and Liam. Harry couldn't hold back a worried frown. Something seemed to bother his boyfriend.

Yeah, they all tried to at least hide their reactions.

"What the fuck?"

Jackson, though... never had tried to hide his reactions when it came to his ex-fiancé. So he had looked from his phone to the smaller, expression completely confused.

Before Harry could defend Louis, or rather change the topic by saying bye to them all, the smaller had already started to talk before Jackson had even finished his words.

"I need to talk to you for a minute, Aria"

Jackson's face changed from confused to annoyed, his shoulders fell like the ones of a child being asked to clean their room.

"I thought you have the puppy to talk now"

"Make me become a leader and he'll talk about everything with me instead of you"

Stunned, the mafia leader looked at Harry, who looked at him waiting. Louis had to snort, while the others either grinned quietly or chuckled.

"Fine", Jackson hissed, threw his phone on the table.

"But certain people should leave now and stop pissing me off, before I make use of being their boss"

With that, he threw himself back on the chair he had been glad to stand up from previously.

"You all can go", Louis ignored his ex, gave Niall, Liam and Miley a look. On Anne, his eyes stayed only shortly, so he didn't have to go through looking into her kind eyes.
