Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1041

Joshua’s heart was pounding in his chest.

He’d stalled on purpose, making sure he showed up with the document right at this moment for Mr. Lincoln. The file in his hands was the real deal, with all the actual share ownership info. Still, he was taking a risk, hoping Mr. Lincoln wouldn’t have time to really look it over.

Just as Emmy reached for the file, James beat her to it, snatching it away from Joshua.

“I’ll take a look,” James said.

Emmy hesitated, a little surprised, and pulled her hand back.

James flipped open the folder and skimmed a few lines. Then he glanced up, his eyes sharp and cold, locking onto Joshua. The look sent a chill down Joshua’s spine. He ducked his head, nerves on edge.

Emmy saw the whole thing. Instantly, she knew something was off about the document. This probably wasn’t the real file she’d been hoping for.

James snapped the folder shut and tossed it back to Joshua.

“Don’t let this happen again.”

The warning was clear, and there was more than one meaning behind it.

Joshua hugged the file to his chest and nodded. “Yes, Mr. Nelson. I understand.”

James turned away and called out, “Keaton, bring Mrs. Lincoln’s share file.”

Keaton, the assistant, hurried over. He picked out a file from the stack and handed it to James, who then passed it directly to Emmy.
