Arthur’s jaw ticked.
“I wasn’t informed of any board session this morning,” he said in a voice cold enough to make the room drop a few degrees. “And if there’s an issue with my employee, then I’ll handle it personally.”
“She’s not registered as an employee, sir.” The woman gave a polite, practiced smile. “That’s part of the confusion.”
Lisa’s eyes widened. Oh no. Was this…
“And the client entry linked to her name was traced back to—”
“Enough.” Arthur stepped forward. “If this is about her being a contract actress, then you’re wasting your time. Everyone in that room knows exactly what that role entails.”
The woman tilted her head. “Do they?”
Before Arthur could answer, one of the security guards stepped forward. “Mr. Brook, the Chairman requested this session be handled delicately.”
