At precisely 10:17 AM on a Tuesday, Otis Carter set aside his mop and entered Sterling Corp's executive boardroom unannounced. Laughter erupted as the all-white leadership team spotted the 68-year-old Black janitor in their sacred space. "Lost your way, old man?" Ryan Sterling sneered, his Harvard MBA and family name a shield for his embezzlement schemes. "Not at all," Otis replied, sliding a document across the table. The laughter died as they read it—official proof that this "invisible" man they'd degraded for decades was actually the majority shareholder. While they'd seen only a janitor, Otis had been watching, documenting, and waiting for this perfect moment. His engineering degree from Howard had gathered dust, but his ownership papers hadn't. Now, as four hundred employees faced layoffs, Otis Carter would finally reclaim his company from those who never bothered to see the man behind the mop.
