Chapter 20 - Suite 307

Aiden's POV

We were just finishing up drafting a document for a deal between Peter's company and some other lesser known company. As I quickly skimmed over the document one last time before he sent it to his lawyers, my phone suddenly started ringing.

"Aiden, your phone." Peter said distractedly as he tried to tidy his desk.

I walked over to the couch and found my phone under one of the cushions, an unknown number showed on the screen, but the caller ID indicated that it was the Bordeaux hospital.

_

"Aiden Locasin, speaking."

"Mr Locasin? There's been an accident, Dae, she-"

"What?!" This must be some kind of sick joke, right?

"A car collided with hers, she's in the operating theater right now but could you please contact her family."

"Yeah, sure." I replied as I began to put my suit jacket on and headed to the door.

_

I was halfway through the door when Peter tapped me on the shoulder. I turned towards him and realized that he had no clue what was happening.

"Hospital. Dae. Car. We have to go." I said, panicked.

He nodded solemnly and ran to get his jacket and we left.

Peter's POV

I sped to the hospital as Aiden hyperventilated in the seat next to me.

"Calm down man, she's going to be fine."

"You don't know that." He replied hoarsely.

"What did the person on the phone tell you?"

"That a car collided with hers and she's in the operating room right now! Oh damn, I need to contact her family." His face turned pale.

"I have her dad's number if you want to-"

"It's fine, I have it." He replied and took out his phone.

I know I should be at least showing some kind of concern right now, but I was way better at controlling my emotions than Aiden. I drive silently as Aiden made all the necessary phone calls and we reached the hospital in no time.

"Oh thank god." I heard him mumble and then he jumped out of the car.

I parked and ran after him, this idiot was going to get run over.

I entered the hospital to find Aiden practically screaming at the nurse at the front desk. I walked over to try and help the situation, but I may have made it worse.

Aiden grabbed my shirt and pulled me over to the lady. "This is Peter, Peter Argent."

The nurse got all smiley and red and, and I can't believe I'm saying this but, she started twirling her hair.

"M-Mr Argent, sir." She said, and all of a sudden she was very shy.

"Good evening miss, I was wondering if you knew what ward Dae Carter is in? You see my friend Aiden-" I began and pointed to the oaf next to me. "Received a call from the hospital ten minutes ago about Miss Carter, who seems to be in your care."
