Ten

I’d been at lunches with warring investors. I’d been to lunches with competing companies. Hell, I’d been to lunch with Jacob after we broke up and he bought my share of our company from me.

But nothing could have prepared for me for how hostile lunch with Andre and Rodney would be. I would have thought they were enemies, not teammates.

The two football players sat across from each other in the chicken wing restaurant across from the stadium. Three baskets of chicken wings with white sauce sat between them, and I was sitting at the end of the table, munching on the wings that were in the box Rodney gave me.

Good thing these wings were so damn delicious. Otherwise, this would have been really awkward.

No, I decided as I looked between the two men. It was definitely really awkward.

Neither of them said anything. Andre had joined us about fifteen minutes ago, after I’d had Kathryn dial him and tell him to come to the restaurant to meet me for lunch, taking him up on his offer promised in his note. There was something like fury and hurt in his gaze as he stood in the doorway, seeing me sit with Rodney.

I’d grinned brightly at him and patted the seat that was catty-corner to me. I made sure that I wasn’t sitting on one side with one of the men. I was going to be Switzerland and neutral for these guys.

And get to the bottom of what was happening between them.

I bit into another wing and groaned softly. “These are so good,” I murmured. “You guys should have some before they get cold.”

Or before I ate them. Even though there was something like eighty wings here, I could probably eat them all if I tried. They were that good.

“This wasn’t what I had in mind when I said let’s do dinner,” Andre said mildly, not taking his eyes off Rodney.

Rodney snorted and shook his head. “Trust me. This wasn’t my idea either.”

“It was my idea,” I said, reaching for another wing. “Because you two have some bad juju going on between you and you need to get over it.”

Andre’s mouth quirked up as he slid his gaze over to me. “Juju?”

I waved my hand noncommittally. “You know what I mean. You have some bad blood between you two. And I don’t know much about football, but I do know that if you don’t cut it out, it will be very bad for the team. And I can’t have the team lose.”

I wasn’t going to bring up that I was planning to sell the team once I turned around their record. Right now, I couldn’t even get the vocabulary right for the game.

Rodney sat back and crossed his huge arms. “We’re the losingest team in the league.”

“And I can see why,” I exclaimed, exasperated. “You two can’t even have lunch together.”

“We’re having lunch,” Rodney muttered in response. Like a scolded child.

“You’re glaring at each other across the table,” I said. “And you haven’t had any of these chicken wings.
