Julian's POV
'BILLIONAIRE TYCOON ADMITS TO BE IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WOMAN HE BROUGHT WITH HIM TO THE GALA'
That was the heading on the front cover of Story Grid's weekly magazine, It seems they really ate the story up just like I knew they would, Sienna may not know it but she is an excellent actress, but she can't fool me.
"Julian" Sienna yelled through the phone as I picked up the call, I couldn't hold in the smile that filled my face. How much I love an angry Sienna.
"Yes, Birdie...are you missing me already?" I joked almost bursting out in laughter picturing the look that would be on her face right now.
"You wish, why is my face on the front cover of Story Grid's front magazine?" She yelled.
"Well, first of all, it's our faces, I can clearly see my charming smile that gave life to the photo".
She snickered, loudly."Whatever lets you sleep at night, Julian"
"And secondly it is because I don't approve publications that involve me if it isn't on the front cover"
It wasn't a lie, any media company that wants to make a publication about me has to put it on their front cover or forget about it.
"Oh f**k me, what the hell have I gotten myself into" She cursed ending the call before I could respond to her little comment. You have no idea, Blake.

"Thank you so much for agreeing to do business with us, Mr.Thorne, this means a lot to us," Mrs.Olivia said smiling widely as she signed the documents I had presented to her without bothering to read through to take note of every detail, how such a woman became the manager of Oaklyn Marketing Group is such a wonder.
"It's such a pleasure, Mrs.Olivia"
"Oh no please, you can call me Olivia, no need for Mrs., it makes me feel old" She chuckled, batting her lashes at me. It is now confirmed that this woman slept her way to the top which really isn't such a surprise to me, It seems like all of them who work there love anyone who screams wealth, no wonder Sienna has been there for years. They probably have their contacts.
"That's fine" I responded skilfully masking my displeasure, she is just a pawn in the game, and she is playing her role really well.
"My secretary will send all the other information to you so please do well to drop your email on your way out" I informed leaning back on my chair.
"Okay, Mr.Thorne. I promise my company won't let you done, we are more than honored to handle all your marketing, we will bring in more sales than you have ever had" She promised and I didn't have any doubt. I want my revenge but definitely not at the risk of my company, I had done my research before agreeing to all of this, despite their love for money the company is well known for its amazing marketing skills. A win-win for me.
"I know"
"You won't know what hit you little birdie" I chuckled to myself as she stood up to leave, her excitement pouring out of her.
"Sorry?"
"Oh no, I was just reminding you about the last part of our agreement" I smirked leaning back into my seat as I observed her facial expression.
"The last part? What last part Mr.Thorne?" She asked for it already in her eyes.
"Don't tell me you signed without reading, Olivia" I taunted loving the way she shook. She has probably imagined the worst.
"Uhm.." She stammared, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment. What a shame!
"Well, Olivia, the last part said you would have to transfer your marketing executive to my company for a period of six months for a top classified project"
I couldn't hold the smirk on my lips as all color drained from her face.
"Sienna?" She murmured.
"Yes, Sienna Blake". Crossing my legs in front of me I continued, " I went through her resume and details from her years at the company and she would be the perfect person for the job"
"But Mr.Thorne, Sienna is..."She stopped herself midway like she knew her next words would make things bad for her.
"Sienna is what?"
"No what I mean is there are better people, I could even help you, I will definitely do it better than she would" As expected, I knew something was off the day I came to the company to pick up Sienna and she just confirmed it.
"From my investigation, Sienna is one of your best staff if not the best so why will you say that?" I pushed wanting to know more, my body itching to defend her. Julian you are trying to ruin er, not the other way round.
"I have worked with Sienna for years now, she is not fit for the job"
She was fidgeting where she stood, she knew she didn't have any valid reason, she just wanted a shot at me just like everyone else, and that irritates me more than anything else.
"You can leave now, Olivia" I dismissed making sure my anger and displeasure were felt in my voice.
"Mr.Thorne..."
"Make sure Sienna is here on Monday morning as my employee" I cut her off, she knew better than to do anything more or less than I had instructed.
She stood quietly for a while before muttering incoherently to herself while walking out.
Sienna, welcome to my world...I will teach you and Damon not to mess with me.
