James Carter

James Carter was a twenty-eight-year-old man, the owner of a vast real estate empire. However, this was just the tip of the iceberg. His name was a source of genuine fear in the criminal underworld. It was rarely spoken aloud, preferred to be whispered. Those who had ever crossed paths with James knew: he was unforgiving of mistakes.
It was Friday evening
James sat in the VIP area on the second floor of an upscale club, leisurely sipping an expensive whiskey. It offered a stunning view of the dance floor, where people were enjoying themselves, completely unaware that one of the most dangerous men in the city was watching them. His cool, calm gaze swept over the crowd. When someone accidentally caught his eye, they immediately looked away, overcome with an inexplicable fear. When James ordered another glass of whiskey, a young waitress hurried to his table. But, miscalculating her step, she tripped. The tray slipped from her hands, and the amber liquid splashed all over James's expensive suit. She lost her balance and fell at his feet. For a few seconds, silence reigned in the VIP area. James didn't even flinch. Slowly rising from the sofa, he looked down at the girl. His face remained completely calm, but a barely noticeable spark of anger flashed in his cold eyes.

The waitress did not dare raise her head.
"I'm sorry... please..." she said barely audibly. Her voice trembled with fear.

But James didn't seem to hear her.

— Call the club owner. Now.

His low, heavy voice sounded calm, but it was this calmness that was more frightening than any scream.
A few minutes later, the club's owner, {{user}}

“Go to work,” she said calmly.

The girl quickly stood up, nodded guiltily again, and almost ran out of the VIP area.
