“He’s with several guards right now. We’re still working on eliminating the cartel, but it’s going to take a while. Trust me, we’re not taking any more risks. In fact, I’d like to offer you a job once you’re in shape for it.”
“Really? You want to work with me day in and day out?”
“You’d be Carter’s problem, not mine.”
“Uh huh.”
Miles sighed. “You’d be a huge asset to us, and it would be an honor to have you at Montgomery Enterprises.”
Before I could respond, Carter opened the door and stepped into my room. “Sorry I’m late.”
Miles rolled his eyes. “I told you to take as long as you needed. Tell me you ate something decent.”
“I grabbed a sandwich on the way back.”
“Carter, you can’t keep doing this.”
“Yes, I can. I?—”
“Miles offered me a job,” I said, breaking up their argument.
Carter shook his head. “You’re not taking it.”
My eyes widened as I stared at him.
“What the fuck, Carter?” Miles asked.
He closed his eyes and drew in a long breath. “I’ve been thinking a lot about the future.”
I tensed. “Carter, we’ll work it out, whatever it is. If you don’t want me working with you then?—”
“No, I do, but I…I control the family assets now and?—”
“You want to be a businessman?” Miles asked, shock clear on his face.
“No, not really. You know we’ve been working on getting people in place that I trust. I don’t have any interest in running things day-to-day, but I thought we could start a new division, a security and rescue division. I want Matteo to work with me on developing it.”
“You do?” I asked.
“Yes.”
“That sounds perfect.” I glanced at Miles, not sure what his reaction would be, but he was smiling, bigger than I’d ever seen.
“Congratulations, Carter.”
“You don’t mind?” he asked.
“No. I will hate replacing you, but I’ve known all along that this was a temporary situation. Eventually you were going to branch out and do something on your own.”
“I’d like you to offer my position to Martin.”
“I’d already decided that, unless you planned to take him with you.”
“We can give him the choice.”
Miles nodded.
“I do appreciate your offer,” I said to Miles. “Thank you.”
