Chapter 6 - Confronting The Shadowy Figures From The Past Files
The following morning, Adrian arrived at the downtown Boston headquarters of Whitmore Infrastructure an hour early.
He didn't go to his top-floor executive suite; instead, he walked straight down to the corporate archives department.
The head archivist, a nervous middle-aged man named Henderson, dropped his coffee cup in shock when Adrian entered.
“Mr. Whitmore... I didn't expect you down in the basement archives today,” Henderson stammered, adjusting his glasses.
“Pull every document relating to Ethan Keane’s engineering contracts from four years ago,” Adrian commanded coldly.
“Sir, those files were moved to the legal department’s secure vault under Mr. Sterling’s direct orders,” Henderson whispered.
“I am the majority owner and CEO of this company, Henderson, and I am ordering you to unlock that vault right now.”
Henderson hesitated for a fraction of a second, torn between fear of Richard Sterling and fear of Adrian Whitmore.
He finally reached beneath his desk, pulling out a heavy brass key ring and leading Adrian toward the secure back room.
The metal door creaked open to reveal rows of filing cabinets containing secrets the Whitmore family had buried deep.
