Lena stared at the feast in front of her with mixed emotions. The crab was buttery and rich, the shrimp was juicy, and the dumplings were bursting with flavor. Each dish was even more delicious than the last.

But as tasty as everything was, Lena couldn't help feeling a bit irritated.

She was convinced Annika and Josefina had teamed up to embarrass her!

But it's not like she had told anyone she was planning to get seafood herself!

With renewed determination, Lena dug into the meal.
