that he had lined up so
she found herself all alone for once.
    She joined the queue
for food realising that everyone was looking at her although trying
not to do so conspicuously. She asked for a lasagne and bottled
water and then took her tray and looked for somewhere to
sit. “ Charlotte, over here, ” she heard someone call and looked around to see
Max sitting at a nearby table. She once again felt excitement
course through her, he looked gorgeous as usual and she
couldn ’ t wait to find out what he had
been up to. Like a gentleman he held her chair back for her and
made sure that she was comfortable before sitting opposite. She
felt herself mesmerised by his dark sexy eyes and
couldn ’ t speak because she felt so
shy. “ How are you getting on? ” he asked her smiling. “ Oh fine, I think ” she
laughed. “ But how about you, what have
you been doing since this morning? ” He
pushed his hand through his hair and sat back in his chair. “ I have spent most of the day filling in
paperwork and learning what my job will be. From time to time I
have been asked to collect people from the station but mainly I
have been waiting around and observing. ” Charlotte suddenly had an idea. “ Max, if it ’ s ok with you and with
whoever is your boss do you think that you could help me
out? ” He laughed, “ Charlotte, I don ’ t think you
realise that actually you are my boss and I will do whatever you
ask me to. ” He looked at her so intently
that she blushed. “ Oh-
I ’ m sorry I didn ’ t realise. ” Gosh she thought me
his boss! Well now I do believe in Father Xmas. Trying not to look
too excited she carried on. “ Well I have
found out that I need to know everything about this club and the
people in it. Whilst you are waiting would you be able to find out
whatever you can about the people here, how it works any gossip etc
and we can talk about it all in the car on the way to and from the
stadium? I am meeting the team tomorrow and am not sure if I will
have time to find out about them. ” “ Consider it done, ” he said. Just
then a shadow fell over the table and she looked up to see Ronnie
Tyler standing there with that superior look on his face that he
always seemed to have. He totally ignored Max and said, “ It ’ s time that we had
our chat, ” looking at her in a creepy way
that made her flesh crawl.
    “Charlotte looked at
Max who shot her a look which showed that he
didn ’ t much care for the team Captain;
she turned to him and said, “ thanks for
keeping me company Max, I will see you later, I am not sure what
time I will finish but if you need to get off I can phone my dad to
come and get me, don ’ t wait for me if you
have something else on, ” and she smiled
broadly at him. Ronnie said in his sneering voice, “ don ’ t worry I can
look after this little lady I am sure that I could run her home
later, ” and he placed his arm around her
waist and pulled her closely to him. Max ’ s eyes flashed and he said in a tight controlled
voice. “ My job is to drive Charlotte and
I take my job extremely seriously. I will wait until she has
finished even if it takes all night. ” He
looked at Ronnie with such a menacing look that Charlotte suddenly
understood the saying, “ If looks could
kill. ” She extricated herself from the
over familiar captain and said tightly, “ come on then Ronnie we have work to do. ” As they moved away she looked back to see Max watching them
go with anger on his face which only made him appear even more
attractive if that was at all possible.

    Ronnie gave her the
creeps she decided after just a few short minutes in his company.
He showed her into the dressing room and explained what happened
before and after a match. “ Don ’ t worry your pretty little
head about any of the team stuff, ” he
said condescendingly. “ Luke and I have it
all sewn up, you just concentrate on looking good for the media -
after all promotion is your job
