“No, he isn’t.”
“So, he didn’t get the board to boot you out in favor of himself?” she asked, studying my expression closely, her eyes scanning my face. “That’s what I thought.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. Why would William risk his reputation just for the opportunity to tear me down?” I asked.
“Maybe because he feels pretty damn confident that you’ll be the only one to take the fall for this.”
“I don’t know, Leighton. William is a lot of things, but I don’t think he’d do this to me. Not after everything we’ve built together,” I said.
“I’m just telling you what I heard, Preston. That’s all.”
I thanked her, getting up to leave, but before I did I noticed that she glanced to the side, smiling at something. I turned my head but didn’t see anything or anyone suspicious. I must be getting paranoid. I didn’t think much of it, heading back up to the penthouse so I could process everything she said. There’s no way he could be behind this, could he?
