When Wattpad launched in 2006 as an online — and now mobile —
community for readers and writers to share free books, CEO Allen Lau and his team were
working out of a drab cubicle farm in Toronto's north end,
with bankers and accountants for neighbours.
We had — family come from as far as Edinburgh and Devon, 2 Christmas dinners to accommodate said family, 2 present opening sessions, some good long walks to
work off excessive food, cousins all catching up
with each other, a bit too much to eat and drink, relaxing afternoons when we could do nothing because it was raining and anyway it was getting dark soon so we might as well call it a day, and a mammoth monopoly game, which carried on so far that someone had bought jail, chance and
community chest, and someone else had «
banker» debt status, which meant he could borrow as much as he wanted.
