Hollywood Zenith

" So what's this about?" Samuel asked after sitting down. Kate already left since she didn't want to disturb him beside her whole body was covered in dirt after rolling around in mud with the wolves.

" Shouldn't we be asking that question? I knew people have different fetishes but doing that sort of thing in a bush-"

" You!" Andrew shut her up by covering her mouth. She was getting way to comfortable with her jokes.

" Oh? Last I heard, it was also not expectable to skip work for exciting escapades. I have gotten few calls of you delaying meetings." He sipped the tea with a cheeky smile on his face. Marilyn face went white with surprised but it instantly changed colour to red because she was embarrassed.

" Who told you about it? Was it Julia?"

" Haha, I was only taking a shot in the dark but it seemed to be true. Congratulation to you two. Why not take a week off and go out on a vacation or something?" he looked at both of them.

It was true that he had a hand in matchmaking two of them but he never expected them to be a couple. Andrew was mature and responsible with a strong sense of duty probably because he was older. He had a moderately handsome face but what's stood out was his build.

Marilyn on the other hand was reserved but curious by nature, coupled with the fact she was hailed as top notch beauty in the company. Samuel expected her to be more interested in pretty boys around her age like most of the girls but surprisingly she chose to pursue him. At least she wasn't afraid to get what she wanted.

" What? I just came here to see the infamous Rothschild Estate. I happen to learn that she was visiting so I decided to tag along."

" So you happen to pick him up along the way or your relationship progressed to you guys moving together? Can I expect a big ceremony next?"

" You..." Marilyn was reminded she could win against him in an argument especially when he already had a advantage! Andrew was facing away refusing to even look at him. He was a serious person so getting embarrassed didn't suit him.

" Stop teasing her. I didn't come here to see a catfight!" Abigail sighed. She wanted it to be over so that they could move to important stuff.

" With that WMG has been fully integrated with ZY recordings. They would have seperate dealing but latter would fall under the prior so that music division would have more streamline approach. There is also a issue with the grocery chain, Webvan that you told me to acquire. It's been few years of it being sitting on the shelves without doing anything.

Just to keep it up we are burning cash mindlessly."

" Just keep the status quo for now. A great opportunity will come knocking on the door that will turn the reds into green."

" There is also..." Marilyn hesisted for a second. She didn't know if she should inform him of it or not.

" What is it? It's unlike you to not speak your mind."

" It's regarding the WMG. Several artist under the label seem dissatisfied after we took over. The company lacks proper leader and we also found some issue with some big artists but the problem is there is no one to enforce our new rule."

" Alright, I will look more into it. Just leave your reports. I am thinking about visiting the States before the filming starts, I could look around the place and find someone suitable for the task."

" I am sorry. I could have asked Aunt Ludivine for help but since she is temporarily taking a leave to take care of her young children, I can't find anyone competent enough to replace her." He knew about the issue. Ludivine was the headhunter, she was goto for every time his business needed new employee but ever since she married his Uncle Daniel, she decided to focus more on her family.

" There is nothing to report on my end. I have hired new people and also recently asked Mr. Alastair to acquire new security firms to bolster our forces."

" It's fine. You could just say that you are here to accompany your girlfriend, no need to make a big deal out of it." Samuel laughed teasing them again.

" Sami..." Abigail wanted to say something but she gave him the look. He understood what she wanted him to do.

" Amanda, take them to have a look around." He asked her to take two lovebirds so that he could have some private conversation with Abigail. They didn't mind it, they were interested in exploring this place too, especially Andrew, he did see few guards patrol around he would love to see how they manage to protect this place which was situated in the woods.

After they left, Abigail turned to him and said in a serious tone," I know you are wondering why I am here personally."

" Correct."

" It's about the Green family that you asked me to investigate."

" Hmm? I never asked you to personally look into them though?" He was confused to hear that name from her mouth. Wasn't Jane suppose to do that job?

" How do you think it gets done? If it's related to business, everyone comes to me to ask their opinion. No matter how capable Rothschild surveillance team is, they couldn't spot faults when it came to money related things."

" Are you trying to undermine our capabilities? We have all sorts of people working for us."

" It's not like that. I just found about it when Jane asked me to look more deeply into it. I just wanted not clash with them." She added.

" What?" Samuel didn't know why she was being like this but he definitely like to hear the reason for her to be so spooked about it!

Next morning, Samuel woke up early. Even though they were busy throughout the night, he wanted to get up to train his body for once. For the past couple of days, he was way too lax with it.

After, quietly moving Kate off his body, he admired her naked body for a moment before going to shower. She was way too into it last night after the topic of her throwing herself to her death came up. Hearing him give her sweet compliment worked wonders.

He didn't have any underlying meaning to it and was only giving her genuine thoughts but for some reason it made her body hotter than the sun! He honestly wondered, if he was too cheap with his admiring words. It's not like he was taking her for granted but on the other hand, they already have intense chemistry on bed. Even during their sessions, his vulgar mouth kept showering her with sweet words.

He went to train for couple of hours but when he came back, he was surprised to see someone was already waiting for him in the living room.
