Fifty-nine minutes.
That's all we have to stop Victoria from taking everything I've built.
Katherine and I are running through the hotel corridors. Heading for the conference room on the top floor.
"She planned this perfectly," Katherine says, breathing hard. "Emergency vote, board already assembled. We're walking into a trap."
"I know, but what choice do we have?"
"We fight."
"Yes, we fight."
The conference room doors are ahead. Through the glass, I can see them. There were twelve board members, the people who control Marvin Industries.
And Victoria. At the head of the table. Looking like she already owns the place.
Katherine squeezes my hand. "Together."
"Together."
We push through the doors.
All eyes turn to us. Victoria's smile is cold and victorious.
"Mr. Marvin. Ms. Blaire. How kind of you to join us."
I look at the board members. People I've worked with for three years, built relationships with, and created value for.
And six of them won't meet my eyes.
