He could feel the weight of a thousand eyes, the echo of a thousand whispers. Everyone had seen the headlines. Everyone had dissected the grainy, illicit video. Everyone had watched him walk out of the Voss Capital boardroom hand-in-hand with the man they were all convinced he’d seduced and manipulated into ruin.
