"Thorne is Executive Platinum. Or he was," Jonathan said, typing on his tablet. "I've just revoked his status, voided his four million airline miles, and placed him on the permanent no-fly list. He is banned from AuraJet, and by proxy, our entire partner alliance. He won't be flying on any reputable carrier for the rest of his life.""Good," Seraphina said. "And Ms. Shaw?""Demoted, as you instructed. She'll be flown back to JFK as a passenger and will report to HR for a full disciplinary review. I'm recommending termination.""No," Seraphina said. "Don't fire her. I want her on a six-month performance improvement plan. Send her to every diversity, equity, and inclusion seminar we have. I want her working with our community outreach team in Queens. She's not a lost cause; she's a product of a weak culture. She's a mirror. I want her retrained. Ben Carter, however—fast-track him. I want him in leadership training by next month.""Yes, Ms. Jordan," Jonathan said, impressed.They reached the end of the jet bridge. Seraphina paused."The videos from the cabin are going to leak, Jonathan. They'll be on the Daily Mail by noon. Get ahead of it. I want a statement from AuraJet. No 'we apologize for the incident' fluff. I want it strong."She dictated it right there:"AuraJet International confirms that two passengers were removed from Flight 101 upon arrival in London due to their repeated and reprehensible verbal abuse and discriminatory harassment of a fellow passenger and crew. AuraJet has a zero-tolerance policy for racism, bigotry, and abuse. The passengers in question have been banned for life. We are proud of our crew for handling a difficult situation and ensuring the safety of the cabin.""What about you, Ms. Jordan?" Jonathan asked. "The press will find out it was you.""Let them," Seraphina said, adjusting the strap of her bag. "It's time the world knew exactly what this airline stands for."The fallout was not just fast; it was catastrophic.By the time Seraphina was in her car heading to her London flat, #AuraJetRacist was trending. Someone's blurry phone video of Marcus being hauled off the plane was all over Twitter (now X)."That's Marcus Thorne," someone in the finance world tweeted. "Partner at Greystone Capital. What did he do?"
