Chapter 6 - The Boardroom Arrogance
The next morning, the ultra-modern, glass-walled penthouse boardroom of Fenwick Holdings was buzzing with intense corporate energy.
Colin sat near the head of the massive mahogany table, wearing a brand new, expensive gray suit. He was practically vibrating with toxic, arrogant confidence. Sitting right next to him, wearing a sharp white designer blazer, was Paige.
"This has to be my promotion," Colin whispered to Paige, smirking sickeningly. "Walter called an emergency meeting. He’s going to announce that I’m the new Senior Partner."
"You deserve it, baby," Paige purred, tracing his lapel. "And once you drop the dead weight of your pathetic wife, we can start looking at penthouses."
The heavy double doors of the boardroom swung open.
Walter Fenwick, the sixty-something CEO, marched into the room. He didn't look festive or celebratory. His silver hair was perfectly combed, and his expression was a mask of cold, lethal corporate authority.
The twenty executives in the room immediately fell silent.
"Good morning," Walter stated, his voice echoing violently across the quiet room. "I have called this emergency meeting to announce a massive, immediate structural change to this firm."
Colin sat up straighter, adjusting his tie, waiting for his name to be called.

"As you all know, Fenwick Holdings is privately owned by a majority shareholder who has remained entirely anonymous for the last ten years," Walter continued smoothly. "As of this morning, that shareholder has officially decided to step out of the shadows and take over as the active CEO."
