Chapter 20: The Vote
We walked into the boardroom at four minutes to nine, and the seats were already full.
Leopold sat at the head under his father's portrait with a glass of water and a single sheet of paper.
He saw the five of us come through the walnut doors, and he did not rise.
Lucian came in first, in the charcoal suit.
Behind him walked Hester's lawyer, then Mr. Eustis, then me.
Imogen came last, with her hands folded over a small black speaker.
"Mr. Chairman," said the lawyer. "Mr. Bulfinch is a director in good standing. His suspension was not ratified."
"It is a tie," Leopold said. "A tie is not a ratification, and it is not a vindication."
"It's enough for a chair."
Lucian took his own seat, the empty one, and the whole table watched him do it.
"Before we begin," Leopold said, "I state for the minutes that I am the sitting chairman of Bulfinch Group."
