Or maybe Megan did. Sometimes Megan would come in and ask her a few things so she could come up with an invoice to send. Yeah, maybe she didn’t hear it from Royce because they never talked about anything other than the current project they were working on.
Grant was still standing in her doorway and she got the feeling that he wanted to talk more but wasn’t opening his mouth.
“Oh, sorry to interrupt,” Raina said when she stopped by her office.
“No interruption,” Grant said. “I’ll let you get back to work then, Chloe.”
“Thanks,” she said. She watched Grant leave and then asked Raina, “What can I help you with?”
“Nothing,” Raina said, laughing. “I could hear Grant talking to you and thought I’d come save you.”
She started to laugh. “Save me from what?”
“Come on now,” Raina said, moving into her office. “You know as well as I do they are trying to move onto you next, right?”
“You think you’re so smart now that you are happily married.”
Raina shrugged and grinned. “It did fall into place nicely. Megan agrees too.”
“What do I agree with?” Megan asked, popping her head in. “I was looking for Raina but heard her in here.”
Raina moved closer to the door and shut it. “That Grant and Garrett did a good job setting us up.”
“They didn’t set me up,” Megan said. “I met your brother for the first time at your Jack and Jill party.”
“Please,” Raina said. “You know they are pushing it and going to take the credit for it.”
“It seems like that, but it’s not going to be with me,” Chloe said, putting her hands on her desk as if she wanted to stand up and lean into the conversation.
Megan shrugged and then grinned. “I wanted to do it myself, but Jonah is a bit bullheaded. If his name comes up they are always pushing more.”
She should have thought of that herself. It just wasn’t going to work for her. She was going to keep her lips sealed on her personal life.
“Good move,” she admitted. “And it seems to be working.”
“I came in to save Chloe. Grant was fishing and Chloe isn’t ready to bite on anything. I could tell by her tone she didn’t want to push Grant out of her office but didn’t want to talk about it either. But you can talk to us.”
“I don’t have anything to say,” she said.
“Come on now,” Megan said. “There is no one you have your eye on?”
There was no reason to lie. “Maybe,” she said. “But there is no way I’m telling anyone in this office where there are big ears.”
“What?” Megan said, laughing. “We tell you everything.”
“No,” she said. “Raina didn’t tell us about Cody for a while.”
“She’s right,” Raina said.
“I told you about Jonah pretty early. How he’s rough around the edges. He’s not rugged like he’s going to go out and swing a hammer and get dirty but he’d mop the floor with someone so that’s dirty in his own right.”
Jonah owned a gym and trained MMA fighters and boxers. Not too many would mess with him, she was sure.
“Sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into this,” Chloe said.
“That isn’t your type?” Raina asked. “Is that the problem? You like the suit-and-tie guy?”
“God no,” she said. “Or I don’t know. It seems like it doesn’t matter their career or what they wear to me. I just have horrible luck with men. I want someone that doesn’t crowd me too much and lets me do my own thing.”
