Chapter 18: The Board
"What did you tell him?" I said.
"Nothing, for four nights. I wiped the bar around him." Annabeth sniffed. "Last night I got tired of it."
"And?"
"I told him you've had a year of words from a Radford. Every one of them was a lie. So don't bring her words." She shrugged inside her hoodie. "I said, do something in front of people. Something she can watch."
"What did he say?"
"Thank you. He left a hundred dollars on a club soda and went home." She opened the cooler door and cold fog rolled out around our ankles. "I don't know what that means, Jules. I'm just a bartender."
At eight the next morning the shop phone rang.

The old landline on the wall that only vendors and my mother's friends still used.
"Juliet." Truman sounded like he hadn't slept. "My son has called an emergency meeting of my board. Ten o'clock, the Radford Building, top floor."
"Why are you telling me?"
"Because he asked for you. In the back of the room. He wouldn't tell me why." A pause, and the cane hit something. "I don't like not knowing things in my own company. Wear something with sleeves."
