He does not introduce his companion so I ignore her.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“Come in please Adam. We’re set up in the conference room.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">I lead the way and signal the other two to enter. They’re doing so as I close the door behind Adam and me.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“Adam, my name is Ms. Gambino, Ms. Rosendahl’s Executive Assistant. This is Ms. Stuart, our CFO, and Ms. Fenring, Corporate Counsel. Coffee and pastry are on the credenza at your convenience. Please, have a seat.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">We wait for him to decide where to sit. Does he make a power move and go to the head of the table? Margo and Debby take seats and I sit with one chair between me and Adam. I begins.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“Adam, you told me your Ms. Dianne du Monde is otherwise engaged and that you were sent here to deal with things in the interim. Ms. Fenring, I believe you have some remarks.”</span></span><br class="clear_left"/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft"><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center">(https://files.catbox.moe/dk3ubc.png)<br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;"><strong>Margot Fenring, Esq.</strong></span><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 11pt;">Chief Counsel<br/>JR Enterprises<br/><span style="text-decoration: overline;">          </span></span></span></div></td><td>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4d/AlTeregoSeparator.png)</td></tr></tbody></table></div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">She picks up her notes and looks at Adam.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“Thank you Ms. Gambino. Adam, I hate to break it to you but Ms. du Monde does not hold any position with JR Enterprises. Ms. Rosendahl is the Chairman of the Board, as elected by the Board of Directors operating under the laws of the State of New York. The Board of Directors appoints the CEO and CFO. No board meeting has been held in well over a year and none is planned. None is required per our incorporation. It would have to be called by Ms. Rosendahl or Ms. Stuart or by a majority of the Board of Directors. So I trust you understand that Ms. du Monde is neither an officer nor an employee of JR Enterprises, a New York Company.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">She pause very briefly.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">“We note that the liquid portion of Ms. Rosendahl’s personal estate is now in the possession of Ms. du Monde. There is no connection, legal or otherwise, between Ms. Rosendahl’s personal estate and this corporation, her estate exerts no control here. She draws no salary so no payments are made from this corporation to Ms. Rosendahl. So Mr. Adam, unless you have some new information for us, I believe our business with you is concluded.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">She closes her notes and folds her hands atop them, her eyes fixed on Adam. We’re curious whether he’ll inquire about her travel expenses. That answer is at the ready.</span></span><br/>
