[color=BlueViolet][i]I should never have entrusted such an important negotiation to a pair as incompetent as the Vanhorn siblings…[/i][/color] Holding their positions only due to a favor owed to their prestigious parents, the Vanhorns were horrifically inept at nearly every task they were assigned. Yet, since the most important elements of the Mishima Motors partnership had already been finalized by an array of vastly more capable subordinates, Violet had hoped that even the megacorp’s least competent employees would be able to handle the deal’s simple denouement. Clearly, she had been mistaken, and the CEO knew she would have to move quickly if she was to salvage the debacle before the liner got fully underway and most of the outgoing communications links were severed. Activating her HUD’s thought to text system, Violet opened a tight beam, highly encrypted communications link to her most trusted aid and de facto second in command. [color=BlueViolet][i]Amanda,[/i][/color] she texted. [color=BlueViolet][i]The Mishima Motors deal has suffered a considerable complication. Please see to it that the problem is rectified as swiftly as possible and any potential damage to productivity is minimized to the greatest viable degree. Disciplinary action against the Vanhorns shall be left to your discretion. I will be out of communication for at least the next forty-eight hours, so I am placing any further developments in your capable stewardship.[/i][/color] Upon confirming that the message had been received, Violet closed the link and redirected her attention to the woman conversing with her pilot. [color=BlueViolet]“I trust that you will not permit yourself to be distracted from your primary task,”[/color] the heiress told Darya over their private link after the other woman had departed. [color=BlueViolet]“I am sure I do not need to remind you that we are not here to entertain flights of whimsy,”[/color] she added, before continuing on her way to her quarters. She didn’t know if the woman in the bunny mask was simply an innocuous passenger looking for some fun, or a distraction of a more sinister nature, but if the gregarious redhead [i]was[/i] plotting something, Violet was confident said potential scheme would most assuredly [i]not[/i] be coming to fruition.
