Chapter Fourteen

Carson

Rage courses through me as I consider the mass of Russian businessmen who seem to be caught up in whether or not they can still milk a profit out of me. Aimee is nearly hyperventilating at my side, though I’m confident that the sailing will smooth itself out in a matter of minutes.

I idly keep an ear on what the men are discussing in Russian, noting that they plan to contact SharpeFocus headquarters to secure the documents that would finalize the deal we agreed on. Exhaling an angry sigh, I can’t help but clench my fists at my side.

“Aimee, calm down. Everything is going to be okay,” I murmur soothingly, reaching out to grip her hand in my own.

She doesn’t seem particularly soothed by my words, but they’re all I can offer for the time being. My sweet personal assistant glances from me, to the horde of angry Russians, before chuckling softly.

“You’re right. Of course, you’re always right,” she breathes, her tone surprisingly absent of malice.

I offer her a smile, faltering as my potential business partners begin to curse at each other in their mother tongue. Something has them in a tizzy, though it’s unclear from how loud and chaotic the shouts are getting. They keep repeating something about the papers, the papers being missing. I have no idea what papers they could be talking about, and grumble unhappily.

“What papers could be so important…” I trail off, eyes widening as I hone in on one man in particular.

He screams curses regarding my company headquarters, wondering aloud who could be foolish enough to lose the finalization documents.

“Shit! The documents are missing!” I cry out, looking to Aimee with wariness in my gaze. “I thought you transferred those files to my personal cloud before the trip,” I hiss urgently. She appears to be on the verge of tears, fidgeting with the hem of her dress and refusing to meet my gaze. “Aimee!” I demand.

“I’m so sorry, Carson. It was an accident… I didn’t know what I was doing and I…I deleted the files from the cloud server. Everything regarding the Russian deal is gone,” she finally admits in a whisper, and my eyes widen in shock.

As much as I want to be angry, there’s little time for that. Aimee grinds her teeth, wrapping her arms around herself.

“Just tell them I screwed up. Surely it can be fixed,” she pleads, fear shining in her gaze.

The possibility of throwing Aimee under the bus doesn’t even occur to me, and even as she’s mentioned it, I refuse to consider it. Our only out has been flushed down the metaphorical toilet.

While the situation seems grim, I notice that the security guards for the venue are trying to keep the Russian businessmen under control. A fight breaks out, and my heart hammers in my chest. The remaining guard watching us darts away to deal with the disturbance, and I grab Aimee by the hand.

“Be quiet, keep your head down, and run,” I hiss.

Leaping to my feet, I nudge her ahead of me and towards the exit.
