Chapter 23: The Vote

At nine the next morning the board was on forty-one, in the same twelve chairs.

Holly sat at my left, in a navy suit she'd bought with her own salary.

She'd been up since four. She'd changed her earrings three times.

"You're going to win," I'd told her in the car.

"You don't know that."

"I vote fifty-one percent."

"That's cheating."

"That's the trust."

The finance chief went first.

He put one slide on the screen and didn't say much.

Pembroke Group, twelve months ago: eighty billion dollars.

Pembroke Group, this morning: one hundred and twenty.

Riverbend fully leased. Two more river parcels won in open bids, without a single leak.

Lakeshore Partners under investigation by the state's attorney and shut out of every city auction.

The heavy man with the cane whistled through his teeth.

Then my late husband's brother stood up.

He didn't make a speech either.

"I nominate Holly Pembroke as president and chief executive officer of Pembroke Group," he said. "Effective today."

"Second," said the heavy man.

"All in favor."
