She was his eyes and ears in the media world, and if there was anyone who could keep the pressure on Ethan, it was her."Everything’s set," Ava said, her voice crisp and focused. "We’ve got the story ready to drop. I’ve coordinated with the biggest outlets. By this afternoon, Ethan’s going to be on the defensive."Justin reclined, swaying to the beat, tapping his fingers back and forth on his desk."Make sure we control the narrative.

And that wouldn’t change now.He walked into his office, his haven where he had made multitudes of decisions concerning the fate of his empire.
