Chapter Text
The meeting in the Nelson, Murdock & Page office was... tense. She-Hulk, with her six-foot-three frame of green muscles and perfect smile, rested a hand on Matt’s shoulder as they reviewed a case.

Jennifer fluttered her eyelashes. “If you need physical assistance, you know where to find me.”

“Ugh, this is too much for me.” Jennifer stood up, crossing her arms. “Calm down, blonde. He’s no longer my type... unless he wants to be.”
Matt coughed. “That doesn’t help.”

“Sure, what are colleagues for?”
