My Stepfather, My Ruin
Now, that made me feel good.
Chairman Martin stood, his expression unreadable. He had voted for me but I didn’t know if it was because he trusted me or because he didn’t trust the other option, Sebastian. “The vote is clear. Tristan Michelson is the new Chairman of Michelson Enterprises.”
Before anyone could react, the door at the far end of the room opened. My grandfather walked in, leaning on his cane but still commanding the room with his mere presence. Every voice died instantly.
He stopped at the head of the table, his eyes sweeping over all of us before they settled on me. “Congratulations, Mr. Chairman.” Had he been watching the vote live? I wouldn’t put it past him.
