First Blood Drawn

Just from hearing the sound of my boots on the floor, everyone cleared out even when they weren't standing on the way.

The company was facing one of its biggest crises and I needed to solve it as fast as possible.

I pushed the door to the conference room open and walked in, looking around the room. I took my seat at the head of the table and looked at the occupants.

My PR lead, Sophie, was flipping through pages of notes with her subordinates while our legal counsel, Greg, adjusted his glasses and prepared to speak.

"Everyone here?" I asked.

"Yes, Mr. Voss." Sophie replied.

"Good. Let's get started."

I leaned forward, hands clasped on the table. My mind went back to seeing the notifications on my phone after waking up.

The headlines, the tweets, the speculations, it was all damaging not just Sunset Inn's reputation but mine.
