Fighting for the Heart

Untitled Part 30

Felicity walked into work the next morning feeling better than she had the day before. Her evening with Oliver had been just what she needed, and even though they had to part late that night, it had been with their end goal in their sights. Oliver had played the recording of Laurel for her and she knew based on the information they had that they had her exactly where they wanted her.

Felicity walked past Curtis' desk and told him to be in her office in the about 10 minutes. She had the recordings of Laurel in her hands and she had a few things she wanted to get done today.

Curtis grabbed her calendar and walked into her office. He could see she seemed more rested and he sat across from her with a knowing grin. "Good night last night?"

Felicity smiled. "Yes. Not only did I get some time with Oliver but we got what we needed from Laurel. Now I need you to call and set up three meetings for me today. I want to meet with Adrian Chase first so I can get the restraining order into play. Then I need to meet with Dana White and last, please call MMA Magazine and get me a meeting with the Laurel's boss for late this afternoon."

Curtis took his notes as she spoke and seeing the meetings she was setting he knew the plan was in full swing. He stood and walked back to his desk as Felicity got to work. She wanted to get a few things done regarding Fight Night for Oliver since they only had a week before the fight began. Felicity also remembered that her Mother and Quentin would be in town tonight and even though they had been informed of the fake break up, they did not know the plan for Laurel. Oliver wanted to talk to Quentin face to face since Laurel was his daughter and she prayed he would understand.

Curtis buzzed her a few minutes later to tell her that Adrian would be there to see her at 11 a.m., and she texted Oliver to let him know they were making progress.

She smiled to herself, finally seeing some light at the end of a long tunnel.

Oliver worked through some stretches as Lyla observed. She had been pleased with how far his therapy had come and she was excited to tell John that Oliver was eligible for some new moves that John had been holding back. She saw her husband walk into the room as Oliver moved to the treadmill to warm up and she gave him a kiss with a smile.

"How's he coming?" John asked, indicating Oliver.

"I can say with absolute certainty that he will be done with his PT in three weeks for good." Lyla looked up at John with a smile.

Oliver heard what she said and he stopped the treadmill, a look of disbelief on his face. "Did I hear you right? No more PT in three weeks?"

Lyla walked over and gave Oliver a reassuring smile. "That is right. I mean we need to get you checked out by the doctor before then but I have every confidence in the world that you will be released."

Oliver felt a wave of relief wash over him. The accident was almost behind him and he could not wait until Laurel was out of their lives and he could focus on fighting and Felicity.

Felicity smiled as she saw Adrian walk into her office. He had become a friend of hers when she first got into the business and he was one of the best lawyers in Starling. She shook his hand and he kissed her cheek as they sat down to talk.

"Felicity what can I do for the prettiest manager in Starling?"

"I need your help in drawing up a restraining order and a letter threatening to prosecute for defamation of character." She said and he could tell by the look on her face she was dead serious.

"Is someone bothering you?" he asked frowning.

"No. A reporter is harassing one of my clients and I have her on tape testifying to that. I also have her on tape confessing to setting up an ex to break up him and his current..........." she paused for a moment. "His current girlfriend."
