More details to this question:
I work in the royalty department at a publishing company. An heir of a writer that my company represents contacted me regarding selling their rights. They asked that I keep this confidential. Since this may affect my company's income, should I keep it confidential or should I let someone know about this?

The request was addressed to you in your capacity as a representative of your employer. The relationship with this party belongs to your company, not to you. You may not keep it secret from your employer. Your employer may choose to retain it in confidence or not, as it chooses.
