Chapter 107

Book 7 - Bossy Daddy

Carlton

I walked into the room, my twin brother Alec right on my heel. The rest of the board members were already waiting, since we were actually late, but no one said a thing about it.

They all stood up as we joined them and took our positions. I took the seat at the head of the table and Alec took the seat to my right. Between us and the other attendees of this board meeting were several empty chairs, and I couldn't help picturing a canyon separating us from them. The move was definitely deliberate.

It was more than enough to know they weren't happy. They weren't expecting us to begin with, Dad was supposed to be sitting at this board meeting, but after he'd suffered a heart attack about a week ago, we had taken over for him, for now. He was hardly in the best of health to be handling the company, but since my brother and I were new to the company, we weren't trusted. It was an unfortunate turn of events, but we all had to adjust to it at our own pace.
