(Ethan's POV)
The call comes while I'm reviewing contracts in my office.
Douglas. His voice is tight. "We have a problem in Singapore."
My stomach drops. "What kind of problem?"
"The merger. TechCorp is threatening to walk unless we send senior representation. They want assurance that Hale Global is committed."
"Send Matthews. He's handled—"
"They specifically requested you. Or they're pulling out."
I lean back in my chair. Close my eyes. "When?"
"Tonight. Your flight leaves in four hours."
"Douglas, my wedding is tomorrow."
"I know. And I'm sorry. But this is a six-billion-dollar deal. If we lose it—"
"I know what it means." I drag a hand through my hair. "How long?"
"Seven hours. Maybe less if negotiations go smoothly."
Seven hours. I'll miss the final preparations. Miss see
