âCheryl,â Grant said, shaking her hand briefly, keeping his face a smooth mask as he took a seat opposite her in the Condorsâ biggest conference room. He wanted to bend down, get her to lean in closer, and then scream at her.
Nicole was monitoring the media response to the email releasing, and it seemed everyone wanted a piece of the action.
The last update heâd gotten from her was some media outlets were hinting that theyâd managed to track down Dougie, but even then Grant wasnât worried heâd talk, because Nicole had done her job and gotten to him first.
But still, despite the inevitable frustration that his personal business was splashed across every news and gossip site in the whole freaking world and he was face-to-face with Cheryl, currently wearing a smile he could only describe as smug, Grant was in a pretty damn good mood.
The reason for that wasnât very hard to figure out.
The reason was probably outside, on the practice field, and if Grant got up and wandered over to the windows as Darcy and Cheryl made viciously polite small talk, he would probably see him out there. Dark hair shining in the sun. He might even get a glimpse of some of that big, glorious body heâd gotten so lucky as to enjoy last night.
Darcy cleared her throat and sent a pointed glance in his direction. âGrant?â she asked, clearly repeating herself.
Whoops.
âYes, sorry,â Grant said, forcing his attention back to Cheryl.
Not who he wanted to be thinking about, that was for sure.
It was just like her, though, to create this mess, and then come here in person to chastise him about it.
Only years of dealing with hostile adversaries in boardrooms made it possible for him to offer her a bland smile.
Donât let them see you sweat. Ever.
Definitely donât let them see you bleed. Once thereâs blood in the water . . .
âI want to know what youâre going to do to combat the rumors,â Cheryl said.
âYou want to know?â Grant enquired innocently.
He was one hundred percent sure sheâd come here just to gloat. Maybe to dance on his grave a little.
But Grant Green never gave up without a fightâand now that he had someone he loved very much, someone heâd fight for tooth and nailâhe wasnât going to roll over and play dead, no matter how much she hoped he would.
âThe NFL, of course,â Cheryl trilled. Tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. âWeâre just very concerned. So many rumors. Inappropriate rumors.â
âYouâre really concerned about rumors?â
âIâm assuming you saw the email,â Cheryl said. Then laughed delicately. âOf course you did. It was sent to you, after all.â
âAnd youâd have seen that I didnât reply to it.â
âNot electronically, anyway.â
âMr. Green is too polite to say it, but we are very busy dealing with the fallout of this rumor, as well as all of his other many professional obligations,â Darcy said. âAre you here to help? Or to just tell us how very concerned you are?â
âThe commissioner wanted me to come here in person,â Cheryl insisted.
