resources manager, who handled background checks. If he did go along with Tamara’s plan, he wanted to know, for purely business reasons, what type of woman he would be working closely with.
    Come to think of it, Deanna had seemed a bit too eager to dig up any background details. Maybe the creative way Tamara had skirted his HR department to snag his attention had gotten under her skin. She’d even promised to have a file on his desk within the hour. He was looking forward to reading the good, bad and possibly ugly news about this interesting woman.
    “Mr. Benson, the DBSK creators are here,” said Latrice, his assistant, in a singsong voice.
    “Show them in, please.” Grant slid the files of the young men to the side of his desk. He had to get his mind back on his work. Nothing could get him to focus more than to dive into one of his works in progress.
    As expected, two young men, no older than college age, walked through the door. They had “born gamer” written all over them, despite the suits they wore.
    “Have a seat, gentlemen. Jax, good to see you. Danny, have a seat.” Grant stretched out his hand and noted their clammy hands. Understandably, their nerves were getting the better of them. He sat back in his chair, trying not to crowd them. People tended to forget that he was also a gamer at heart and only a businessman by necessity. But he didn’t look at his business solely from a profit margin perspective.
    “Mr. Benson, I...we...well, gosh, we are excited about the new venture.” Danny Metcalf, the more exuberant of the two men, moved restlessly in his seat.
    “So am I.” Grant pulled out the mock-up of the game designs that had been completed so far. Normally the creators would meet with his design team, but this time he wanted to talk to the guys before anyone else got started on the brainstorm. What they had created promised to be epic.
    Grant continued trying to make them comfortable. “Anything to drink—coffee, tea, soda?”
    “I’ll definitely take a soda.” Danny raised his hand as if answering a question in a classroom.
    “I’ll join you with one. And you?” Grant noted that Jax Altman, the younger man, didn’t say much of anything. Instead his pinpoint stare took in everything with a suspicious glint. Grant wondered if they were both on board with this deal. He wasn’t about to invest his money and time only to be faced with partnership squabbles. His gut told him to continue onward, and this time he listened.
    “Nothing.”
    Grant called Latrice for two sodas. He didn’t wait for the beverages to get down to business. “I’ve been mulling over picking the right people for the team. I have two members of my staff who would be great to head up the project team. I’ll introduce you to them later, but I want to talk a little bit about your vision.”
    “Why are you so interested in our vision? You’re going to do what you want anyway.” Jax crossed his arms and stroked his untrimmed beard.
    “I have the right to do so, according to our contract. But I think we would work better if I have a keener sense of what you envision.” Grant looked directly at Jax. “I don’t want to start on a tumultuous note.” He was used to working with the creative types and having to navigate both their emotions and their unique working styles. Running a gaming company had put him in a position where he’d had to hone those skills or risk having no staff.
    Jax grunted. His expression gave away nothing.
    However, Danny smiled brightly at Grant. “What would you like to talk about?”
    “I understand the general gist of the game and its levels. But the overall objective...” Grant paused, trying to find the right words. The main premise was okay, but nothing that came out of his company should be only “okay.” He wanted consumers to choose this game because there wasn’t a substitute and because the experience was so unbelievably intense that they became addicted it. He wanted
