…

The atmosphere in the conference room is a lot different than it was two weeks ago.

During the last meeting, the room was filled with joy and people smiling, today almost everyone looks like they have a stick so far up its effecting their faces. Nobody is talking at full volume, just mumble here and there as if they are keeping secrets an want nobody else to hear.

The more I look around the room, the more I notice that there is a divide. On one side of the conference room, there are the people that stand with Mr. Goldman and his choice of replacement. On the other, are the people that are against it, with Peter Hill front and center.

Seeing him today, and the way there is cockiness all over his face, puts a sour feeling in my stomach that I do not like. I don’t have to speak to the guy to know that he thinks that everything and everyone is on his side. And from the looks of things, they just might be.

Bennett had told me that he needed ten total votes to be able to be named CEO. Counting the heads in the room, and where everyone is standing, he might have lost one to Peter.

The sourness in my stomach intensifies.

As I look around the room, my eyes catch Bennett’s and I send a small wave and smile his way. He had gone to lunch with a possibly client, and only got back to the office about five minutes before walking into the conference room, so we didn’t walk in here together.

Something may have caught his eyes and he starts walking over where I am by the floor to ceiling everywhere.

“You okay?” He asks, looking down at me with concern in his eyes.

I give him a nod. “Yeah, I was just taking everything in.”

Tell him about the head count.

“This will be a lot quicker than last time an after we’re done we can go to dinner or something to celebrate.”

I try to ignore the fact that my husband slash boss just asked me to dinner and stay on topic.

“I don’t think that dinner is going to be celebratory one.” I whisper, my eyes dancing around the room.

“What?” Bennett asks, coming closer to me.

Our bodies are basically pressed together as I tell what I noticed. “It looks like Mr. Hill gained a vote and you lost one.”

Bennett turns away from me and does what I did earlier and count heads. His jaw ticks as he finishes up and his body goes ridged.

He knows it and I know it.

He’s going to lose CEO and the wedding was for nothing.

When Bennett turns back to me, his face doesn’t as much anger swimming through it as I expected.

“It’s fine.”

“Fine? You lost the vote that you needed to get CEO. It’s not fine.” If he doesn’t get this, will he ask for the money back? My palms start to sweat thinking about the fact that the money is no longer in my account.
