Chapter 14 — Mistaking Patience for Weakness
“Simone — please!” Barrett came around the table toward me, and two security officers moved without being asked and put themselves in his path.
“You’re destroying my company!”
“No, Barrett,” I said, and I looked at him without any heat at all, because heat was the last thing the moment required.
“You destroyed yourself the second you mistook my patience for weakness.”
I have replayed that sentence in my head many times since, and I stand by every word of it, because it was the truest diagnosis I have ever given anyone.
