Chapter 17: Leaked
Monday morning, the lobby of Whitaker Group looked like a siege.
Four camera crews stood behind a rope, and a man with a microphone shouted my name through the revolving door.
Nolan took my elbow, and I shook my head.
"I walk in by myself," I said.
"I'm right behind you."
"I know where you are."
I walked in with my braid over one shoulder and my chin level, and a flash went off.
Winifred had called an all-hands for nine o'clock in the atrium.
Four hundred employees stood on the floor and leaned over the railings of three balconies.
A small stage held a podium and a microphone.
Winifred sat on a chair beside it, with both hands on her cane.
Tate stood at the foot of the stage.
He had been sent a notice that his badge was dead, and he had come anyway, in a charcoal suit and a calm face.
The shares were frozen, but they were still shares, and a shareholder could not be barred from a general meeting.
