Chapter 19: Payroll
The door at the bottom of the stairs banged shut behind them.
The girl from accounts lowered her phone.
"Do you want me to post it?"
"No," I said. "Save it."
The woman from the cruise team brought me a roll of paper towels and a T-shirt from her gym bag.
It said Dorrance Travel Fun Run 2024 across the front.
I wore it for the rest of the day.
Dorrance paid its people on the twentieth of every month.
On the morning of Friday the twentieth, Bryce sent an email to the twenty-six who were left.
A small delay at the bank. Payroll will land Sunday. Thanks for your patience, team.
Sunday was the twenty-second.
The day the Langley contract ended.
At 9 a.m. on Sunday, the girl from accounts forwarded me a screenshot from the old Dorrance group chat.
Nobody had thought to take her out of it.
Anyone get paid?
No.
No.
Nothing here.
He's not answering.
His car's not in the garage.
By eleven, two of the designers who'd stayed at Dorrance had texted me to ask if I had desks left.
I had three.
At one o'clock, I sat down to Sunday lunch with my grandfather and Henry at Grandpa's club downtown.
