This is the Situation
(Cookie's P.O.V.)
*20 hrs. till the deadline.......
"Lucious, Cookie", Olivia beamed as she extended her well-manicured hand towards me, and we shook, then hugged.
"Liv." I replied through a smile as Lucious grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it.
"Olivia, thank you so much for flying up on such short notice. Sorry to burden you on Christmas, but we have a major crisis on our hands, and I know that you're the only one that can solve it." He confessed as her associates stood behind her and she introduced them. We all swiftly headed towards Lucious' office and Jamal shut the door behind us.
"So, we have a sex tape huh?" She tossed out.
"Yeah, here it is." Lucious confirmed, pulling the video up on his computer once more.
She examined it intently and I can see the wheels beginning to turn in her head as it draws to a close.
"Okay, so obviously neither of the choices Mr. Baretti tossed out are an option." She affirmed; her arms folding across her chest as she approached Jamal sitting in the corner of the room.
"Jamal, did you know that this guy was filming you two together? How long had you two been dating and what all do you know about him?" She rapidly fired off, his answers spilling out without hesitation while her associates took notes.
"Alright, first things first, we need a plan." She advised, strutting around the room then stopping before barking orders at those who'd come with her. "Huck find me everything you can on Ryan Morgan and Billy Baretti. Quinn, I need the layouts for Baretti's office and his home.... entries, exits, security, everything." Liv ordered.
I smirked while standing beside my husband seated within his pilot's seat. The girl is good, glancing down at Lucious we locked eyes, an unspoken confirmation exchanged.
This situation is crazy. I honestly can't believe this shit's happening, but as I continue to watch her work a wave of ease is starting to settle over me. Normally we can find a way to deal with most situations that come our way and with Liv on the job this will be no different.
It's time to do battle yet again but this go round we're about to kick that fake ass pimp Baretti to the curb for good.
What's The Move
(Olivia's P.O.V.)
*18 hrs. till the deadline......
The first time I met Lucious and Cookie they were selling cocaine to a few of my classmates at Law school. They looked like they were straight up from the streets outwardly, but there was something intriguing behind the eyes of those two that stood out to me.
When I got the phone call earlier this evening, I almost didn't take it, but once I heard who it was, I did because Lucious has never called me with a problem before throughout all the years, we've known one another. Thus, I knew it had to be a major issue.
Now seated at the top of the music industry, making history on Wall Street as the first entertainment company to launch an IPO, I know just how important maintaining Empire's image is to them and their legacy.
I've heard their son's album and it's really good, but I really can't believe that he got caught up in a crazy situation like this.
Besides, I have a personal stake in this if that tape gets out too because I purchased stock in Empire when the initial public offering hit the market and it's turned into a gold mine.
