Chapter 14: The Table
Joss's POV
I carried my own chair into the Hetherington Freight boardroom.
I had borrowed it from the church basement.
It was a gray metal folding chair with ST. ANTHONY'S stenciled on the back.
Nine directors sat around a mahogany table the length of a canoe.
Rosalyn sat at the head, in a wheelchair with a nurse standing behind it, in a navy dress and a fresh strand of pearls.
She looked at the folding chair and then at me.
"Josephine," she said, "this is a private meeting."
"It's a special meeting called by the CEO, Mrs. Hetherington. I'm a witness."
I unfolded the chair next to Bennett's and sat down.
Across the table, Preston smiled at me with every tooth.
He had a leather folder in front of him, a good tan, and the air of a man who has rehearsed a eulogy.
"Thank you all for coming at such short notice," he said. "As your chief financial officer, I'd like to open with the facts."
He stood.
He spoke for a long time.
He used the words unprecedented and unfortunate and responsibility, and he never raised his voice.
