About this work
Manhattan, Midtown. The night the term sheet is signed, the signature pages land on the company penthouse island. Victoria, the married VP who flew in from London, sets the apartment key beside them.
His Heathrow flight is delayed until morning. “He won’t be in until morning.” Leave the folder and take the elevator and the night is a deal close. Take the glass, and the windows hold Midtown in.
