The meeting that Vince and Linda had attended went very well and all went
according to plan. Though neither could really concentrate on the meeting
it was a success from a business perspective.
However by lunchtime the news had gotten out that Vince and Linda McMahon were living apart, it was hot news in Titan, among employees and even hotter news for wrestling journalists. They grabbed at the momentum that sports -entertainment's golden couple were experiencing 'the breakdown of wrestlings most powerful marriage' as one tabloid put it. The paparazzi were out for blood and they would get it any way they could. A large crowd gathered outside Titan Towers waiting for any employees to come out and talk, due to their loyalty to the WWE and because they valued their jobs, most declined. Unfortunately there were a couple who let greed and money get in the way of that loyalty. Mainly the press were waiting for Vince and Linda and they didn't care if they had to wait all night. Never did it cross their minds that it was just a marriage on the line, it was two people's hearts and souls, something that two people had devoted their whole lives too. They wanted a juicy scandal and if there wasn't one, they were simply going to elaborate vastly on the truth.
Meanwhile inside of Titan Towers Jerry McDevitt, the WWE's top lawyer sat in a conference room with Vince and Linda.
"You have to issue a joint statement of some sort, it won't get them off your backs completely but perhaps they won't be so vicious." He said, hopefully, though none of them really believed it.
"It's none of their damn business!" Vince angrily replied.
"Well I know that, you know that and Linda knows that but they don't seem to think so."
"How in the hell did they find out anyway?" He asked, pissed that anyone else knew.
"Apparently a member of staff at the hotel Linda checked into informed the local press that she was staying there and before you know it, everybody knew."
"Great!" Linda muttered sarcastically.
"I think you need to release a joint statement, perhaps when you leave off work. I'll read it out to them, you two don't have to say anything. If we get to work on this statement now, it shouldn't take long."
"Fine." Linda nodded. "I suppose we have to give them something. I don't see why, it's not as if they'll leave us alone just because we release a statement."
"Keep your fingers crossed it might happen." Jerry said, smiling at them both. Linda and Vince both gave him the same skeptical look, as they began to prepare the statement.
Word soon got round that the McMahon's were going to issue an official statement at five thirty that afternoon and no one could wait. As journalists and the paparazzi stood outside they were already dreaming up elaborate headlines that were going to help them sell tomorrows papers.
