Chapter 18: The Board Votes
We reached the fourteenth floor ten minutes after the sheriff left.
Warner was still at the head of the long glass table with the manila envelope in front of him.
He had not opened it.
Eight directors sat around him in their good suits, and none of them were looking at his face.
The woman at the far end rose when she saw me in the doorway.
She was the one who had phoned Tiernan's old engineer, the only director who had never laughed at one of Constance's jokes.
"Mrs. Kinsale. Thank you for coming."
"I'm not Mrs. anything," I said. "Willa is fine."
"Willa. The board has a question that only you can answer."
Tiernan stayed by the door with his arms folded and did not say a word.
Warner turned in his chair.
His eyes were bloodshot, and when they landed on me, they begged.
"Please," he said. "Not here."
"Mr. Lowry, you'll have your turn," the director said.
She waited until the room was still.
