Chapter 20: Eighteen

Gordon laughed.

It was a short, polite laugh.

"Miss Boyle, you are a child."

"I turned eighteen at 2:10 this morning," I said. "It's in your own trust file."

The doors at the end of the room opened.

My chief of staff walked in with his glasses on their cord.

He carried a thin leather folder and a laptop, and he looked at nobody but me.

"Ms. Boyle," he said. "I'm sorry to be late. Traffic on Park."

"You're right on time."

He set the laptop in front of the oldest trustee and turned the screen around.

It showed a Lantern corporate page, and a signature block, and my name.

It said: LENA BOYLE, FOUNDER AND SOLE OWNER.

The trustee read it twice.

Gordon stopped smiling.

"That is not possible," he said. "Lantern is run by a board of..."

"There's no board," my chief of staff said. "There's one owner. You've been asking her for a meeting for three weeks, Mr. Thornquist. I have a record of every email."

"You're Ember."

"I'm Ember."

I walked to the head of the table, and for the first time in my life I did not stand behind his chair.

I stood beside it.

"Lantern's license with Thornquist Holdings ended at nine this morning," I said. "The ad slots, the data feed, all of it. I filed the notice before you came into this room."

"You cannot..."

"It's forty million dollars a year, and you signed it yourself." I took out my phone. "Your stock is down eleven percent since ten."
