Chapter Fifteen

Amy

With Parker’s contract signed, it seemed everything only got busier. Tristan believed the young receiver had the potential to be the next true superstar, as his name implied, in our roster of clients. We had to treat this draft and all of the teams that had a legitimate shot at signing him with the kind of professionalism that kept owners and GMs impressed, and there was nothing for it: preparation was key.

That meant dusting off every folder we had on all the teams, making sure we knew all there was to know about every coach, which players had risen to become locker room leaders and what their personalities were, what organizations had decided all of a sudden it was time to rebuild, and all of that in the context of the all-important roster salary cap under which every team rolled their dice on a, mostly, equal playing field.

We had to do all of this for Parker as a wide receiver, but it was looking pretty certain we’d have to do it for Zack Brighton as well, not to mention all of the other prospects our team of agents were busy signing.

Of course, I wasn’t alone in all of this, but as Tristan’s PA my job was to take all of the reports and information coming in from everyone else and either organize them and forward them along or send them back so they could be touched up before wasting a second of Tristan’s time.

Then there was the party.

Tristan liked to keep his office door open. At first, I thought it was so he could check on whether I was properly filling Adie’s shoes, but then I realized he just liked the sense of bustle. I don’t know anything about ADD, but I suspected, in the case of men like Tristan, there were a lot of borderline cases out there.

The only downside was when I had to get loud.

The staff in the bullpen blocked almost everyone, but they couldn’t block team owners and other such VIPs, not always. My phone rang. It was the owner of the expansion team in Portland.

“Mr. Addams,” I addressed him.

“I was calling for Tristan Thorne.”

“I’m Amy Nolan. I understand you are calling about the party?”

“Well, Ms. Nolan, I’d like to speak with Tristan directly, please,” he said.

“I understand, Mr. Addams, but I’m afraid we have so many calls about the party that out of necessity I have been tasked with handling all inquiries. I’m sure you understand that Tristan is extremely busy preparing for the draft and signing clients, some of whom I’m sure are interested in your fine organization in Portland.”

I kept talking through his gruff, loud attempts to interrupt and steamroll right over me. It pissed him off.

“Look, Miss Nolan, we’ve never met. How long have you been in your job?”

His question irritated me. “Mr. Addams, how long have you been in yours?”

There was silence on the other end. I held my breath. Suddenly my phone boomed with his laughter.

“Young lady, I can see why Tristan hired you.
