Heirs To The City: The Quartet

Chapter Nine

When I peeled my eyes open the next morning, I found Olivia walking back through the room in her sleep wear and carrying two coffees as she entered the room a pair of round glasses resting on her nose.

Sitting up I accepted the cup of coffee as Olivia idled up next to me and rested her head on my shoulder as I picked up my phone to read the morning news articles, emails, and voice-mails.

"What has Kaylee set up for you this morning?" Olivia asks taking a sip from her mug.

"Meetings, and I was forwarded a news article," I say opening the article link and pausing my movement of my mug rising.

"What the fuck," I exhaled as I set down my cup and began reading the news page.

Billionaire Secretly Dating COO

Winters Group CEO, Adrian Winters has recently been spotted with his former ex girlfriend, and active COO Olivia Thorne. The two were spotted leaving the Black Stag Club just two days ago, along with her getting into his car.

Just yesterday they were spotted arriving in similar vehicles to Winters Group Tower, and then left that evening. News crews have attempted to gleam access into their lives in the past months to find if they were ever truly apart.

Past gala photos and restaurant pictures showed their connections to one another and as it seems there are record over two years of the many falls of other companies in connection to Winters Group, and the many other business deals that when deeply investigated originated with interaction towards Olivia Thorne.

A dark history connected to the many actions of Adrian Winters veiling the youngest billionaire in American history in mystery. A string of vicious take overs, and blocked media photos leaving many in fear of the dark tower hovering over the city that calls him the devil.

I was four seconds from ordering a blacklist on all media companies across New York. None of them would ever be able to cover a single story aside from the most baseless bullshit ever to exist.

Climbing from my bed I rushed through the shower and came out of the bathroom in under five minutes while Olivia looked confused.

"What happened?" she asks and I handed her my phone that was still open on the article.

Pulling one of my suits off I swiftly dressed in a charcoal grey suit with a burgundy turtleneck before grabbing a pair of sunglasses, my favourite zirconium cufflinks, and a Louis Moinet watch, during my exit from the bedroom.

"So they're leaking your business dealings, creating rumours, and trying to drag us into the limelight, why?" Olivia asks as I chugged down my coffee, and accepted my phone once she handed it back to me.

"Because someone paid for an investigation and leaked it. I want to know who, and when I do, I can add another idiots company to my roster of hostile takedowns," I reply before heading downstairs and taking the newest Ferrari key in the oval bowl in the entryway before summoning the elevator which was when Olivia got downstairs and wrapped her arms around me.

"I love you," she whispers, "I'll see you in half an hour".

"I love you too, keep the glasses you look extra cute," I reply giving her a soft kiss before the elevator arrived and I stepped inside before heading down to the garage level.
