Chapter 28: Who Told Him
For a second Leonard didn't understand.
I watched it reach him.
It went across his face in pieces.
"You bought it," he said.
"Full value," said the banker. "I'm told it's customary."
"Kendrick Mercer's half. Of this company."
"Graham's half," the banker said. "I'll take good care of it."
Leonard looked at his watch again.
Eleven fifty-nine.
He turned around on the stage.
To Rosemary.
"You told me it was frozen," he said.
The Glasshouse had gone so quiet that his voice went all the way to the back wall.
Rosemary's hands came together in front of her grey silk.
"Leonard."
"You told me he had nothing left."
"You sat in my car and told me nobody on that board would lift a finger for him."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Rosemary said.
She said it gently, to the room, the way she'd said darling to me a hundred times.
Then she looked for me.
Her eyes were soft and wet.
"Genevieve, darling. He's upset. He doesn't know what he's saying."
