Serena checked her watch, it was almost time for the other board members to arrive. The show would be starting any minute now.
"You see. The board. The board is afraid. Half of them believe that the information you two brought over is false and the other half are fucking scared that they'll be hunted down one by one." Atticus paused to take a drink from his glass.
"Now between you and me. We both know that the board is filled with cowards and old people that shouldn't be there no more. I believe you're smart enough to know all of this needs a reset?"Serena's eyes squinted as she listened in.
"My people have gathered enough information to tell me that you are the smart one here, Megan. You don't mind me calling you Megan right?" Serena touched her ear piece to speak up. "
You don't have a lot of time." she reminded him as she glanced at the other ttv's.
"I don't understand where you're getting at Mr. Dupont. Me and my fiancé have worked as a unit ever since we met, anything that is to be said to me can be said to him." Megan countered in a rehearsed manner.
"No no no noooo." Atticus said as he got up from his seat.
"Truly you do no understand." He would start fixing his sleeves up.
"You cannot hide, you cannot fight. But you can use your brains, you're smart. Andrew on the other hand is rash and emotionally driven." Atticus said now looking down on her.
"The reason I showed up earlier was because I wanted to ally with you. To take down the old dogs and take their place. I believe you have potential, much more than your fiancé but if you wish to be dragged down by him be my guest."She couldn't see Megan's face well from where she was. But there was a brief silence after his closing statements. Serena wasn't quite sure if that would be good enough to convince her but considering the fact that she had been on edge since Atticus approached her, Serena could only hope this would turn around in his favor.
Looking over at her other monitor she would see some officials in tailor suits making their way up through the elevator and Andrew, on another screen about to return to the meeting room.
"Seal the deal Atticus. You have company arriving in sixty seconds." Serena on the other hand needed to deal with the last few stragglers in the building. A few secretaries, but those could be handled with calls and a voice changer. And a couple hired help. She'll deal with those now.
Slipping on a pink high ponytailed wig, popping in a pair of silver contacts, and slightly adjusting her make-up for a more doll-faced appearance, Serena looked as if was fresh out of an Idol Look-book.
"Bolt give me eyes on the screens." she said as she tapped her tech glasses.
She'd gotten her hands on a pair from Silph.co, glasses that allowed her access to the internet as an extension of her rotom phone. With Bolt working on the surveillance systems he could control what she saw remotely as well. Meanwhile Serena made her way to the janitorial room. Walking with her head held high while her heels clicked across the tile.
"You there!" she called out towards one of the workers before quickly approaching.
"Daddy wanted me to let you know there's an important meeting going on and he needs the building clear for now." The older gentleman frowned as she looked back at his cart of supplies.
"But ma'am, I have to clea--"Serena didn't let him finish as she waved her hand,
"He said he sent you a page or somethin'. Anyway you're to report back early tomorrow morning to make up for lost time." she said as she popped her gum and turned around to leave.
"Oh, and tell your other friends." she said as she glanced back just in time to see him get an alert on his pager before turning and walking away.
With that taken care of she called to the front desks but not before activating her voice modifier on her phone. From there she impersonated one of the top brass to tell the secretaries they were good to head home. From what she could still she from the monitors Atticus made contact with the rest. It was almost time to put the rest of the plan in motion.
"Secure our exit Serenity. It's almost time."
