I rush upstairs and go straight to Genevieve's office. When I see Grayson inside, I'm not even surprised. The two have sandwiches from the Subway down the street. I'm more surprised by the fact that Grayson even agreed to eating Subway. He hates Subway.

"Wow, fancy seeing you two in here. Grayson, how was that meeting?" I ask, barging into the office.

"Meeting?" He asks, looking at me confused. "I didn't have a meeting." He answers.

"Wow, that's so crazy! Genevieve, didn't you say that the guys had a meeting?" I ask.

"I said that I thought I heard something about a meeting from Shane?" She says in confusion.

"That's so weird. Because Shane told me that he had no idea about any meeting." I reply with an equally confused face. "Wonder how that happened." 

"No idea." She shrugs.

"I thought you were being kept in the office?" Grayson asks.

"Yeah. I asked if you wanted to come to lunch with us. I invited both of you." Genevieve says.

"We were pretty busy. Didn't have much time for...Subway." I say, looking down at her sandwich with disgust.

"You should have come with us." Grayson says.

I want to be mad at him, and I'm sure I will be later. But right now, I need for this girl to back the fuck off. Grayson is mine.

"I was just busy. I'll have you all to myself later tonight though. And we'll have something much better than Subway for dinner." I say as I lean over to kiss him. 

He doesn't pull away, but he doesn't exactly embrace me with open arms. It isn't until a second later that he kisses me back.

"Yes." He answers with a brisk nod, looking stunned.

"Let's leave early today? I wouldn't want any more late nights in the office." I say in the best salty voice I can manage. The tone sounds foreign coming from me, I'm sure. But hey, at least I can try.

"Yes, ma'am." Grayson replies with a small smile.

"See you guys later." I say, smirking over at Genevieve before leaving her office.

I take a seat at my desk and wait for Grayson to walk back to his office. This isn't fucking over. Genevieve knows exactly what she was doing, and I'm about to put a stop to it. About two minutes later, Grayson emerges from her office and walks to his own, closing the door behind him. As soon as the door closes, I leave my office and walk straight to Genevieve's.

"Natalia." She says, acknowledging my presence as I enter the space.

"Drop it." I snap, closing the door behind me.

"It wasn't what it looked like." She sighs.

"Really? Because from the looks of it, you lied to my face about a meeting so you could have Grayson alone at lunch. What part of he has a girlfriend did you not understand?" I snap.

"You didn't ever tell me that you were the girlfriend." She replies, rolling her eyes. "It was lunch. Nothing more, nothing less." 

"It's never going to be anything more, got it?" I spit out in reply.

"I wouldn't be so sure. According to him, there have been many fights happening between the two of you. Involving...an ex, I believe?" She adds with a smirk.

I feel my heart race and my cheeks burn with anger. If I didn't have any self control, I would go straight for her throat.

"You know nothing. Got that? Nothing." I reply.
