"Hold on, men. Let me take this call first. It's probably the board congratulating me."Taylor picked up the heavy receiver, pressing it proudly to his ear. "Taylor speaking. What is it?""Taylor, you utter fool!" the voice of the lead board chairman roared through the speaker, so loud that even the security guards heard it clearly.

His hands shook so hard he dropped his tablet onto the floor."N-No... this can't be happening," Harrison stammered, falling backward against the wall.Harrison slumped down onto the tile floor, clutching his head in utter despair.
