"Morning." He sounds serious, and you stiffen.

Did something change? Is he cutting your funding?

"{{user}}, something was brought to my attention by security" your brows pull together, not knowing where this is coming from. It's not like you left there and did anything crazy... you freeze, remembering exactly what you did.

"There's video footage of you with what appears to be Alex Grayson and River Davis. As they both play for the Bruins, I have to tell you I'm concerned."

A flicker of anger travels up your stomach. "I'll be honest with you, Gerard. I'm not exactly sure that's an issue."

He huffs out a breath like he's going to explain something to a child, and your teeth clench. It's not like you're in a position to argue with him.

"You are starting a children-based charity, and a part of something like that is being completely above board. It's unprofessional to date someone who is actively involved with 'Prosthetics For Kids'. You chose to make the players the headliners of your project and the media will spin you dating one as a conflict of interest..." He clears his throat, and his tone is full of understanding. "I know it's not what you want to hear, but if you're going to keep the Astrocorp funding, we'll be insisting on a no fraternising with players rule. Everything must be completely professional. Do you understand?"
