Ethan and Eduardo walked into the boardroom to find Victor Keating mid-conversation, with an Arcphone over his ear.
The moment he saw them, he abruptly pulled the device down but did not end the call. He kept the line open deliberately, needing whoever was on the other end to know something had gone wrong.
Victor stood from his seat almost immediately, cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I… wasn't expecting you today, Eduardo."
Eduardo gave a slight nod. "Victor."
Victor turned toward Ethan, forcing a polite smile. "And you must be Nathan's son. Ethan."
Ethan stared back at him with a cold facial expression. "I am."
Victor nodded. "I'm Victor Keating, the acting CEO. Eduardo gave me notice of your decision to take your place at the head of the company. It's good to finally meet you."
Ethan didn't waste time with pleasantries. "And I'm going to start by asking this; has Stark Industries not made sales in the last three months?"
