Like a second skin.

Harper leaned closer to the screen, studying them carefully. “Move your heads. Slowly.”

They did.

Damien turned his head slightly, testing the range. The movement was smooth-natural, without

resistance.

Ashcroft followed, slower, more deliberate, as if expecting something to go wrong.

“Now speak,” Harper prompted. “Anything. Just a few words.”

Damien went first. “Feels fine.”

His voice remained his own-steady, unchanged.

Ashcroft exhaled quietly before speaking. “No issues.”

Harper studied them through the screen, clearly satisfied. “Good. That’s exactly what we want-

comfortable.”

She leaned back slightly, crossing her arms.

“You’ll only need those when you make the transfer in Singapore. Ashcroft stays as himself. Boss-

Cruz remains Cruz.”

A small, knowing smile tugged at her lips.

“And when the timing’s right, Cruz will switch-wear Ashcroft’s face. Just enough to make it look like Ashcroft arrived in Taiwan to join Damien.”

The masks sealed.

The room went still.

James stared, completely thrown. His eyes darted between them-between his boss… and the man now wearing his boss’s face.

“Boss…” he muttered, looking at Damien-then back at Hudson. “He… you… he…”

The words died in his throat.

He couldn’t even finish.

Because sitting there-

Was Damien.

And also… not.

Harper’s grin widened on the screen. “Oh… that’s not even the best part.”

Her eyes gleamed.

“Go ahead,” she said. “Say something.”

Hudson went first.

“As entertaining as this is, I’m sure your… aggressive flirting can wait.” echoing Damien’s earlier

words.

But the voice that came out wasn’t his.

It was Damien’s.

The room stilled.

James blinked. Monroe straightened, eyes narrowing slightly as if trying to process what he was

seeing-and hearing.

Across from them, Damien stared at his own face… speaking in his voice.

Cruz scoffed softly, then spoke. “Ridiculous.”

Ashcroft’s voice echoed instead.

Ashcroft’s brow lifted, a rare crack in his composure, as he tilted his head-studying the man now
