#Chapter 78: A Little Vacation

My eyes snap open to discover that someone, in the span of what feels like five minutes, my office has
grown dark. There’s a hand on my shoulder, and an all-too-familiar face—with a smirk on it, of course—
staring down at me.
“Sleepy?” Karl asks, his lips twitching into a grin.
I shake my head and sit up, trying to regain a sense of reality. The glare of the desk lamp sca tters
across stacks of invoices and order forms, casting a dim amber glow over everything.
“No,” I lie, looking away as Karl crosses the room back to the doorway. “I was just putting my head
down for a few minutes.”
A quick glance at the clock reveals that it’s almost eight o’clock, and considering the fact that it’s a

inspector left, everything else went smoothly. No more food critics, no sick servers, no arguing
employees.”
I force a half-smile. So word really does travel fast; or rather, Karl is more attuned to the drama than I
thought. I never mentioned the sick servers and arguing employees to anyone, but someone must have
noticed.
