Chapter 7 - The Master Override
Arthur tapped the tablet screen frantically, showing Ethan the automated system logs scrolling across the display.
"Ten minutes ago, Mr. Calloway executed a master override from the ground floor management terminal using key code C.H. 001," Arthur explained, his voice shaking with panic. "He terminated your corporate lease for breach of moral conduct clauses. He also froze all commercial facility access for Mercer Asset Management!"
"No... no, that's impossible!" Ethan screamed, grabbing Arthur by the lapels of his suit jacket. "I signed a five-year contract! He can't just kick me out!"
"Read the contract you signed, Ethan!" Arthur countered, shoving Ethan's hands away. "Clause 44 clearly states that the primary owner reserves the right to terminate any tenant immediately if they engage in public assault, harassment, or unethical behavior on the premises!"
The wealthy investors at the table stood up in unison, their faces dark with anger and disgust as they realized Ethan had lied about owning the property.
