Deborah Arrives Late And Declines Coffee
Fifteen minutes past the hour, Deborah stepped in with her attorney a half step behind. The receptionist offered coffee; Deborah waved it away and sat by the window, dropping a slim folder on the table.
Her attorney introduced himself, set down a legal pad, and confirmed the recording. Brad welcomed them, restated the agenda, and asked if they needed hard copies of anything.
Deborah looked at the stacks and said she would listen first.
