Submission in the Boardroom: A Matter Of Authority
It was unlike me to leave a work pending for two fucking weeks without any progress.
I pressed the intercom. Since Benny wasn’t in, I called the front desk. “Paul, call an emergency board meeting in forty-five minutes. I need everyone there. If anyone’s out, pull them back.”
There was a pause before I got a shaky, “Y — yes, Mr Reed. Everyone?”
“Did I stutter?”
“No, sir. Of course not. I'll do as you asked.”
