The sun was just peeking through the horizon when news outlets began their usual roll of headlines, but one topic dominated them all... Mason Harrington's secret wife.
It was everywhere.
Blogs, tabloids, TV headlines, finance bulletins.
"Who is Mason Harrington's mysterious wife?"
"Public confidence drops, Harrington Corp shares tumble."
The pressure had mounted overnight, and now it was exploding into something that could no longer be ignored.
By the time Mason stepped into the company's building, the hallway buzzed like a silent volcano, everyone aware of what was happening, but too afraid to speak a word.
Daniel followed closely behind Mason, balancing a tablet in one hand and a file folder in the other. He quickened his steps as Mason entered his office.
"Sir, you have a board meeting today by 10 a.m.," Daniel announced.
Mason turned slowly, a deep frown on his face. "What meeting? With who?"
