Chapter 16: Kinsley's Price
On Tuesday the all-hands was held in the atrium again, under the same glass ceiling.
I stood at the back beside Wyatt with my coat buttoned to my chin.
Two hundred people had their phones out, but this time nobody was looking at me.
Gavin stood at the podium in a charcoal suit, with his sleeves down and his voice low and kind.
"Some of you saw an edited video this weekend," he said. "Our lawyers are looking into who fabricated it. I'd ask you to be patient with a very painful family situation."
Kinsley stood beside him in the pink blazer.
She had stood there on the first Tuesday, crying, and she was not crying now.
She had her laptop bag over her shoulder, and her phone in her hand.
"Any questions?" Gavin asked.
"I have one," Kinsley said.
She stepped to the microphone before he could move.
"I run this company's social accounts," she said. "I can put anything on that screen."
She tapped her phone, and the giant display behind the podium lit up with her profile.
Two million, one hundred thousand followers.
"My name is Kinsley Draper. For seven months I took photos sent to me by a stranger and posted them as a joke. They were pictures of a woman asleep in her home, and I wrote the captions."
Nobody in the atrium made a sound.
"I did it because Gavin told me to," she said. "He told me she'd left him. He lied to me, and I let him because I wanted to be the one standing here."
The number on the screen had begun to move.
Two million, ninety thousand.
