Others remembered the financial systems I’d designed.
One retired operations manager sent a message.
Meridian, I still remember you staying until midnight to fix the first warehouse budget. I’m glad people are finally hearing the truth.
I cried when I read it.
Not because I needed public praise.
But because I’d spent years being told my work didn’t matter.
And suddenly, people were remembering.
Then Rebecca called me with unexpected news.
“Meridian, we found something.”
My stomach tightened.
“What?”
She paused.
“Julian has been discussing a potential transaction involving company assets.”
I frowned.
“What kind of transaction?”
“A proposed sale of a major subsidiary.”
I stared at the wall.
“Without shareholder approval?”
Rebecca took a breath.
“The proposal appears to have been developed without proper disclosure to all relevant parties.”
My heart pounded.
“Can he do that?”
“That depends on the company’s governing documents and the transaction structure.”
I swallowed.
