Introduction: Marcus buys a new apartment. Thursday, 8:50 am "It's been over twenty-four hours since the story broke about the death of famous billionaire Colin Gerard and still we have no details on the where'abouts of his grandson Marcus Upton." The blonde woman from Channel Seven was back at it again this morning. As I lay on the couch waiting for a text from Erin to let me know she was downstairs, I watched the updated coverage of my grandfather's death. It was one of the larger newsworthy items on the news. Strangely, I had only heard of Colin Gerrard in passing before last week, but now that he'd died, it felt like the only thing anyone was talking about. After Bobbi left, I texted Helen to ask why, and she explained that it was because of the scandal and how many people it affected. No one in my grandfather's circle had known about my existence. I guess I could understand why considering what my mother had told me last night. "That's right Julia," the blonde reporter's partner said as the camera panned to him. "And with the death of the majority owner of one of the largest corporate empires in the world, many shareholders are concerned with what's next, and the lack of answers has many of them worried about their immediate financial futures." A message from Erin alerted me that she was downstairs with a car, pulling my attention away from a man behind a podium who was reassuring the public that the death of Gerrard wouldn't affect the day-to- day operations of VistaVision. I rolled off the couch I'd slept on last night and grabbed a hoodie off the small pile of clothes my assistant had bought me yesterday. Then I proceeded downstairs of the Dunbar building. Having experienced sleeping on the office couch naked, I had opted to keep some of my clothes on last night, resulting in much better sleep than the nap I'd taken. I felt refreshed, and the world didn't seem as bad as it had yesterday. In all honesty, how could it? I was a freaking billionaire! Not only that, but I was the richest one by a huge margin!! probably didn't have a right to feel bad even if I did have the world looking for me. As long as I played everything smart, I could Introduction: Marcus buys a new apartment.

As long as I played everything smart, I could probably do anything I wanted. Fortunately, I made the correct move by hiring intelligent people to watch my back. When I exited the elevator on the first floor, spotted Andrew as he approached me. "Hey, Marcus," he said, "sleep well?" "Yeah, man. It's amazing how comfortable a couch can be when you pay enough for it. Hopefully sleeping here was just a one-time thing," I said. "At least, for now." He fell in beside me as walked toward the door and said, "What do you mean, 'for now?" "I want to keep that top floor private and remodel it to make it a living space. Helen said that the purchase is off the books, so it won't be easy to trace this place back to me, aside from the fact that I used to work here. Does anyone here besides you know that I bought it?" "Just my guys. I thought they needed to know who signed the checks." I wasn't thrilled about that, but Andrew probably hadn't been told to keep qulet about it, so I didn't bother voicing my displeasure. "Whichever company bought the place signs the checks. They'll all get raises. I'll get Helen to draft an NDA for them to sign. I'll need you to do the same. Of course, you'll get a raise too. "Thanks, Marcus. Sure. I don't think any of them will have a problem signing anything. Especially if there's a raise attached to "No problem. Erin will probably be getting with you about making the renovations. I'd like you to work with the construction crews and keep things as low-key as possible. You met her, right?" "Erin? Tiny girl with purple hair? Cute as a button? Yeah. I met her, and the construction won't be a problem," Andrew said. "Anything else? We were about to reach the doors, so slowed and glanced through the large windows, trying to spot anyone suspicious outside. "Anyone outside that I should be worried about?" "Nope. Shawn and i have been taking turns to take laps around the block to see if we can spot anyone suspicious. There was a strange van sitting across the street for a while, but I went out there after about an hour and asked them to leave. It looks pretty clear right now, so no one should notice you."
