Chapter Twelve

A silent boomed dropped. Logan jerked his gaze to Neil’s. “Come again?”

Neil studied him for a few beats then blew out a relieved breath. “I knew it wasn’t true.” Plopping down in a chair, Neil set his polished shoes on the desk corner and leaned back, hands intertwined on his stomach. “You should sit down. You look like you got hit with a hammer.”

Logan eased in his chair. “Did you just tell me that everyone thinks I got married this weekend?”

“That’s right, my friend.” Neil pulled out his cell phone. “I think we’ll call in for lunch today.”

“What the...how could...” He threw up his hands. “Just because I went to Vegas everyone thinks I eloped?”

Neil was already connected to one of the Italian delivery bistros to respond right away, simply giving Logan a shake of his head before ordering two specials-of-the-day. A minute later, he hung up and tucked his phone in his breast pocket. “It wasn’t an assumption just because you took a trip to Vegas with Miss Shaw. The rumor started because someone said they were there when you did it.”

Logan made a sound of derision, though this situation was anything but trivial. What a manufactured lie. Someone was spreading a rumor he’d eloped, and although it would easily prove to be false, he didn’t appreciate being the center of gossip. In fact, he hated nothing more. “Who could’ve possibly started something so ridiculous?” Now, now, a voice in the back of his mind reminded. Not that ridiculous. He and Jordana had been a fake married couple in Vegas and somehow it’d followed them home.

Neil shrugged. “I couldn’t find out the main source. That’s why I’m here. Thought you would know immediately.”

Who knew how far the rumor had already circulated if it had already reached his company. Though he would put a stop to it at once, he resented the fact he’d have to spend even an ounce of energy doing so. He cared little of what people thought, but knew even when the facts were straight, more conjecture would follow.

“When did you hear about this?” he asked, determined to find out as many details of the beginning so he could quickly get to the end.

“This morning. Miranda’s mom heard it last night. I’m surprised Miranda didn’t call you first.”

He couldn’t connect the link. “My phone has been ringing nonstop since yesterday. I’m sure Miranda’s backlogged in my missed calls somewhere.”

Without warning, the door swooshed open and Deidre Savant haughtily sailed in with her tailored white suit and diva, commanding presence. Even Neil was a little intimidated by her, jerking his feet off the desk and smoothing his tie as she approached Logan’s desk.

Ashtyn cast Logan an apologetic look his way and he waved her off with an understanding nod before she closed the door.

No doubt his mother had gotten wind of the rumor as well and came to battle with him on its accuracy. Literally. Battle.

“Logan.” She stopped, stuffing her clutch under an arm, standing with an erectness of a general.
