Chapter 14: Sign Here
Ernest's private study had dark paneling, a leather couch, and a framed photo of two small boys on a dock.
He shut the door behind us and locked it.
"Sit," he said.
I stayed standing, with my bag over my shoulder.
"You've had your fun," said Ernest.
He crossed to the desk and took a folder from the top drawer.
"Your husband's death was a tragedy, and you've turned it into a circus."
"My son just stood in front of my board and made me look like a thief."
"You did that," I said.
"You wrote the check."
His jaw worked, but he let it go, because he had come here to be generous.
I could see how much it cost him.
He opened the folder and slid out a thick set of papers.
"This is a fair offer," he said.
"You transfer Prescott's shares back to the company, and you walk away with a settlement."
"You'd never have to work again."
"I teach third grade," I said.
"I like to work."
"Kristen."
He took a breath, and his voice went smooth as warm butter.
"Sign these, and I'll look after you and your mother for life."
