#Chapter 46: A Dangerous Game
Karl
“What do you want?”
Adam’s voice is apprehensive, and for good reason. It’s not everyday that I set food inside his
restaurant, and it’s certainly not everyday that I show up telling him that I have a proposition for him.
But I’ve been plotting this for a long time.
Abby clearly doesn’t realize that Adam doesn’t care about her as much as he should. Or maybe she
does, but she doesn’t seem ready to leave him for some strange reason. She deserves better—she
deserves me. And maybe she just needs a little push to get the gears in motion. I swear, once she’s
free from Adam, she’ll realize just how much of a mess their ‘relationship’ is. And I know exactly what
it’ll take to convince him to leave.

I’ve been holding onto them for a while now, waiting for the perfect time. And after what happened the
other night, when Adam stood his own fiancee up for a dinner date, I think it’s finally time.
“Let’s talk in private,” I say, smirking slightly. “You free later?”
Adam looks around with a puzzled look on his face. “Why? Why can’t we talk here, now?”
I shake my head. “Trust me, Adam; I’m not planning on doing anything shady if that’s what you’re
worried about. I just have something I want to show you.”
“Look, man, whatever it is, I’m not interested,” he says. “I’ve got a restaurant to run.” I watch as he
tosses a dishcloth over his shoulder and heads for the kitchen. Sliding down from my barstool, I follow
him. When my hand makes contact with the swinging kitchen door, stopping it from closing in my face,
he whirls around and gives me another puzzled look.
“But this is about your restaurant,” I say, stepping into the bustling kitchen. “I swear. You won’t want to
pass this up.”
With a sigh, Adam looks around warily and finally shrugs. “Alright. Meet me outside later, I guess. I’ve
got a lunch rush to deal with. ‘Kay?”
“‘Kay.”
