Chapter 21: The Cost
We went down forty floors in an elevator that felt like it was falling on purpose.
The lobby doors were open, and the night outside flashed white.
A camera crew had set up on the sidewalk under the awning.
The board chair stood in front of them with a microphone in one hand and a folder in the other.
He was very red, and he was enjoying himself.
"A wealthy family has bought a story," he said into the lens.
"A convenient, tearful story, and a woman who took a trust fund for telling it."
The nanny stood three feet away on the pavement in her blue dress, with her daughter at her elbow.
The reporters swung their lights toward her.
"Ma'am," a young man called. "Did you take money to say the Ardmores fired you wrongly?"
"No," she said.
"The trust is in your name."
"I heard about it an hour ago," the nanny said.
"I haven't touched it."
"I'd like to ask this man a question, if he'll let me."
She turned to the chair.
He gave her a thin smile.
"I'm very busy," he said.
"You won't remember me."
"I came to your office the week after the fair to ask for one reference."
"You never came out of your door."
"I don't think so."
