Chapter 26: The Board
We packed booth 1958 in forty minutes and caught the last flight to O'Hare.
I didn't sleep.
Leon sat across the aisle from me with the legal pad on his knee and read it over and over.
At nine the next morning the big room was full again.
Shipping along the back wall. Accounts in the front row. The studio in the third row, still in yesterday's show clothes.
Norma stood at the front in her camel coat.
She'd brought the company lawyer, a tired man with a briefcase.
He sat at the end of the table and looked like he wanted to be anywhere else.
She'd brought a slide too. FORTY-FOUR MILLION, in Halvern navy.
"Good morning," Norma said. "I'll be quick. I know some of you have been in New York, embarrassing yourselves for a good cause."
Nobody laughed.
"Halvern has raised its offer," she said. "Forty-four million. Three more than before. They'll take the studio to Kansas City, every one of you, with moving money. Anyone who doesn't want to move gets a full year's pay."
