They were moving forward with the next project, as decided by the board. It should have been something different, a plan that had been sitting pending for over six months, something the executive team had flagged as urgent more than once. But somehow, in the way boardrooms sometimes defied all logic, they'd voted instead on a project that had been abandoned years ago, shelved and forgotten in some archive nobody bothered opening anymore.There wasn't time to prepare for it. The meeting had been called almost impromptu, and I had no idea what the project actually entailed, its history, its original scope, or why it had been scrapped in the first place. But I knew instinctively, from the way the room shifted the moment it came up, that it had to be something significant.So I sat there and took notes the way I always did. Key points. Dates.
