470 Taking Charge
(Winona)
"It's not," I admit, keeping my tone neutral. "But it's important. I have a lot of friends and colleagues here. The deaths and the media surrounding them will have a profound effect on morale. Not to mention investor confidence." Mia raises an eyebrow. "Investor confidence? Bold of you to assume that's a concern you need to handle. My family owns half of Brennan Industries. It's our legacy, and we won't be giving it up anytime soon."
I hold her gaze, unflinching. "You can hash that out with Jayden. And Mia? Don't think I'm as easy to manipulate as my sister."
Her smile falters slightly, replaced by something colder. "How is Cass? She disappeared it seems. I was worried."
"Cass is just fine, thanks. She's safe and well." I'm not mentioning exactly where Cass is. I don't trust Mia. "No thanks to you. Getting her involved in drug selling."
"That had nothing to do with me. Cass got herself into her own mess. She wouldn't listen to me. Why do you think Gabriel got out when he did? Cass is trouble. You know that."
"Don't tell me what I know about my sister. Just keep out of her life and we won't have any problems."
"I'll go organize the refreshments, shall I?" Her English is almost perfect but there is still her accent showing through. She turns and walks off.
I get the feeling that she is a whole lot smarter than anyone gives her credit for. But I have other things to deal with now and I'm not adding any extras to my stress list.

In the boardroom, I stand before the management team. Lance's team sits together near the center, their expressions a mixture of grief and determination.
Judy's key people flank the edges, their posture stiff and guarded. All eyes are on me.
"Thank you for being here," I begin, my voice steady despite the knot in my stomach. "I know the recent developments have been devastating. Lance and Judy's loss has left a void that's hard to fill."
