Chapter 18: The Vote
Monique sat at the end of the walnut table with a sling on her arm and no makeup at all.
It was nine on Tuesday morning, and the eleven directors had been waiting for her phone since midnight.
Honoria sat across from her in the chairwoman's seat, upright and silent, with her lawyer at her shoulder.
I took the chair the gray-haired director pulled out for me, three places down from his own.
Hettie sat behind me. Tobias stood by the window, because he said he could not sit.
Corbin was in the hallway.
He had asked to be, and the board had agreed.
"Ms. Merrick," the gray-haired director said. "You've turned over your messages with Mrs. Hallworth. Please confirm they're genuine."
"They're real." Monique's voice was hoarse. "Every one."
"Read the first, please."
She unlocked the phone with a hand that shook and read in a flat voice.
"The sewing room key is in the lining of my coat. Four o'clock, Saturday. Cut the back seam, and do it clean."
