CHAPTER 91: THEODORE MARSH

The door opened the way powerful people entered rooms. Unhurried. Without announcement. With the absolute certainty of someone who had never needed to wait for a room to be ready because every room had always been ready for them. Theodore Marsh was seventy years old and looked sixty and moved across the bank floor with the specific ease of someone walking through a space they had owned for a hundred years. Which was what this was. Elena looked at the face she had shaken hands with at her father's foundation dinner three months ago.
