The Name at the Bottom
Natalie’s POV
I arrived early on purpose.
The boardroom on the thirty-second floor was still mostly empty when I walked in, the long glass table reflecting the morning light in sharp white rectangles. I chose a seat near the middle of the far side, close enough to see the screen clearly, far enough that no one would look at me first when the room filled.
I had seen the final deck two days ago. Daniel had sent around the design and marketing leads with a cheerful note that said “final version for Friday — let me know if anyone sees anything off.” I had opened it alone at my desk after hours. I had scrolled through every slide. I had reached the credits page and sat very still for a long time.
