Longer. Does he know this is about to become a very public conversation? I'm calling him now. She called him. He picked up on the first ring.
I've seen it, he said. I'm sorry, the photograph. Victoria, his voice was calm and steady and entirely himself. I'm not surprised. I'm not panicking.
I need to know one thing. What is the story they're telling the true one? The board situation. Is the reporting accurate? Substantially?
Yes. Then we don't have a problem, he said. Because the true story is a good story. Let them tell it. She exhaled.
There will be questions about us about why a CEO and her financial operations director let them ask. Darius said, "We know what this is. That's enough. People are going to say things about the power dynamic about whether it's appropriate about Victoria. " He said her name the way he always said it now, not strategically. Not to redirect, just to reach her.
Do you know what this is? She was quiet for a moment, then softly, yes. Then we answer the questions honestly and we let the rest go. A pause. How's Amara in the photo?
Beautiful. Victoria said she's going to be very annoyed. She didn't know someone was taking her picture. She has opinions about her hair. Darius laughed.
Real and unguarded. Yeah, she does. I'll handle the press statement today. James is already working on the governance framing. The board situation tells itself we don't need to manage it.
She paused. But I want to talk to you tonight. Not about the press. About us my place. He said Amara has a school thing until 7.
