Chapter 21: The Chair
The boardroom table was black glass, and Eleanor was not sitting at the head of it.
I had asked for that before I would come in.
She sat on a plain chair against the wall by the windows, with her cane across her knees and her hands folded.
Nine board members sat around the glass, with the silver-haired man on my right.
Nathan stood by the door in a gray suit, as a guest, with his hands behind his back.
He caught my eye once, and then he looked at the floor.
The board chair rapped her knuckles on the table.
"We are here to name a chair," she said. "Mrs. Trezevant has not offered a name."
"I will," said the silver-haired man. "I move that Camille Trezevant's seat be held in trust and that I serve as acting chair."
"She was arrested on Saturday in front of four hundred people," the board chair said.
"She is innocent until a court says otherwise. And we are not electing a diner waitress."
Someone at the end of the table made a small, ashamed noise.
