#Chapter 33: The Aftermath
Abby
Karl walks into the kitchen, and I force myself not to look at him as he strides over. I’m almost done
prepping food for the line cooks, and I don’t have time to get into it with him. There’s only so much
stress one person can handle before they go crazy, and I’m reaching my limit.
We’re booked out again, and one of my waiters called in sick, making us even more understaffed than
usual. If not, I probably would have told Karl to just go home. I need to repost my ad sometime soon.
There must be people out there who want to work in the kitchen, even as a dishwasher. I don’t know if I
can keep working with him after everything.
He stops at my station and hovers for a moment. I wait for him to say something, but he doesn’t. I slide
the pile of carrots off the edge of the blade and give him an arch look. “What do you want, Karl?” “Can
we talk for a moment?”
“No. I’m busy.” I don’t have time to deal with Karl and his b ullsh it.
“We can talk here if it’s easier,” he says.
He knows that’s not going to happen. John is standing two feet away, not to mention Daisy and Freddy
chatting in the corner with Jack. The last thing I need is for everyone to find out we used to be married,
or that Karl is an Alpha.
“Fine,” I snap, putting down the knife. “But I don’t have a lot of time.”
He follows me into my office, closing the door behind him. I turn to face him and cross my arms over
my chest. I can’t imagine what he plans to accomplish in the next few minutes. Continuing our
argument from last night isn’t going to get him anywhere.
He must read those thoughts on my face because he puts his hands up. “I don’t want to argue, Abby. I
just want to talk.”“I have nothing to say to you.”
He takes a step forward but stops when I narrow my eyes. “Please, Abby. You have to know I didn’t
mean to hurt you.”
“Well, if you didn’t mean to, then it must be alright.”
He runs his fingers through his hair, looking slightly flustered. It’s probably the first time I’ve seen him
like this, but I’m too angry to care.
“I can’t believe you didn’t even trust me enough to talk to me about it,” I say.
“Abby–”
I cut him off before he can continue. If he’s going to force me to talk, then I might as well get this off my
chest. “I trusted you. I never would have done something like that to you, but you were so quick to
believe it, anyway. How could you?” My voice breaks a little at the end, and I close my mouth before I
