The Newlywed heirs to New York's biggest advertising agencies' exchange a passionate kiss during the morning rush hour....

I smirk as I stare at the large dark font of the newsfeed that popped up on my laptop. I shook my head as a smile widened on my lips. Midday hasn't passed and already we made front page of an online gossip column.

"MAN! can you two suck face." 

I looked up to associate the voice to the now goofy smile of Josh as he entered and settled into the seat before my desk. "The perks of being in love" I stated as I clicked out of the gossip column and began looking at my agenda.

He smiled. "Keep this up and in no time you will have your own soccer team."

If he only knew we were half way there.

I shook my head with a laugh. A small sense of pleasure rolled over me with the thought. Believe it or not regardless with everything that has happened, the moment she told me she was pregnant I was elated and nervous at the same time. It was an exciting time of discovery when she whispered those four possibly thrilling words to me. It led to the realization and swift panic attack moments later that I am going to be dad for the second time.

I sighed and leaned back in my chair focusing on the present as he shifted in his chair and continued to speak.

"Before I forget, on my way here Arthur said he needed to speak with you about an urgent matter?"

I frowned and leaned forward and moved my mouse over to my inbox. "You know what it's about? I haven't gotten a memo or into my inbox yet."

"Not a clue." He lifted his wrist to check the time. "But I do have to be on a conference call with Kyle Sander's the GM from J&E Good's. in 20 minutes."

"How is it coming along with their campaign?"

"Great we are strategizing a budget plan. They are ecstatic with Matt's design so it's a go."

"That is awesome keep me up-to-date, my hands are tied up with the O'Hare Account." I exhaled.

"How is it going?" he leaned forward.

"A little frustrating because we have to pick up the slack and correct B.V. Lee's mess." I shook my head.

B.V. Lee is a small up and coming AD agency more or less not an agency but a business operated from home that took on a huge task of trying to do the AD campaign for O'Hare Grocery's. A small Mom and Pop family owned Deli and Produce store that has been around for some time. On both sides they lacked some experience when it came to doing the advertising and budgeting. There were a lot of logistical errors and things weren't running smooth enough. Which caused O'Hare a lot of setbacks and they dropped B.V. Lee. So, my father decided to extend a hand because he knew the family very well.

"But it's coming along, we corrected it." I assured him.

We fell into some small talk after and made plans for the evening.

"Mr. Chase, you have a Mr. Dowell on line 2," My phone beeped followed with the familiar voice of my father's secretary Stephanie.

"Thank you, Stephanie."

"Dowell? Private Detective Dowell?" Josh leaned forward.

"Yeah, he's checking into the whereabouts of Bianca," I told him.

He let out a whistle before standing.

"I let you get that I got to go."

I nodded reaching for the receiver. "I'll see you later."
