Chapter 13: The Walk-In
At two in the morning on Monday, the night chef of the Aldrich flagship texted me a photograph of a closed pantry door.
Under it he had typed, Miss Tennant, I know you don't work here. He's been in there since midnight.
I took a cab.
The kitchen was dark and echoing, all steel and cold light, and the walk-in freezer hummed against the far wall.
The pantry door stood half open.
Weston sat on the tile floor inside it with his back against a stack of flour sacks, his jacket off, his legs stretched out.
He had a bottle of water in one hand and he wasn't drinking it.
"Hi," he said.
"Hi."
"He pulled the loan."
I leaned in the doorway.
"All of it?"
"A hundred and eighty million, due in sixty days. He said the market would find me a new lender by Christmas, and the market would charge me a lot more." He rolled his head against the sacks. "I said no to his face. I said I wouldn't marry his daughter and I wouldn't bring you to sign. He stood up and told me I'd end up selling the hotels in pieces."
