Felix

It’d been two days, two days since he’d last seen Ella, and already Felix didn’t think he was going to last a whole week Noah was nuts if he thought he’d be here longer than that Unless he could convince Ella to come up and be with hiot back fro as he’d hang

During the days, he concentrated on the grueling workouts and long runs he’d take with the guys For the most part, it did help, but Noah had still called hi like he should

The press conference announcing the re Adelina had been so flustered about not being able to get scheduled, she’d ether at the lastoff the hook ever since the day the contract was finalized and Grecco’s website posted they had a huge announceotten the conference call from Rene and Adelina Felix had never done a press conference on such short notice Not since his first title bout had he been the opponent and not the defending chas He would’ve liked to have been better prepared

Not surprisingly, Ella had calmed him easily "Just show up, let them take all the photos they want, and pro your title back You know you are"

He would’ve liked for the press conference to have been at 5th Street so Ella could’ve been there with hiround, so it’d been held don

They called it a night and Felix was spent He’d warned both Adelina and Rene he’d be in training all week and didn’t have ti time for was Ella, of course If he had to be away from her, he at least wanted her to be the last person he spoke to every night and first person he said goodthat he had another text fro to say the least

It see after the title again had been ht Mercedes-Benz now thought that the reason why Felix had held outwith them was because he knew once the announcement was made there’d be more offers, maybe even better ones from a competitor They were even more anxious to meet with him, but he’d already told Adelina this as out of the question

He picked up his phone with a frown and read the text

I told them you couldn’t meet with them this week and why They said they’d co Bear so’ does this chick not understand?" Felix muttered

"Huh?" Noah asked

Felix shook his head as he plopped down across froreat room "My publicist," he said as he texted back "She wants to set up business s this week"
