Chapter 0019

I don’t even know what to say. The OWNER?? Who can pull that off? While I’m amazed, it does begin to narrow down the possible options. Someone of rank, someone related to the owner, or someone owed a favor. Ok, the last one opens up the playing field again, since I would have no way of knowing who the owner would owe a favor to.

I finish my food and reach for the smaller plate. I lift the cover and my nose is immediately bombarded with the scent of chocolate. And not just any chocolate, it’s Luna Calista’s renowned brownies my very favorite dessert on the planet! This person either got lucky or they know me and my weakness for our Luna’s brownies.

I eat every bite and I’m stuffed to a level of being uncomfortable. The bell announcing lunch is over sounds and I collect my things, trying to decide what to do with everything sitting on the table. I’ve put it in as much of an order as I can, but I don’t know where to put it. Right then, Tamara steps in to start cleaning up.

I smile at her. “Thank you Tamara, my compliments to the chef. I hear you are the owner, is that correct?”

She turns to me and smiles, “That’s correct Ms. Nelson, my mate and I own Ethereal.”

My heart rate kicks up. “So, you know who ordered this for me?”

She gives me another smile, “I most certainly do. And before you ask, the answer is no. I won’t tell you.”

My smile fades, but I push through. “What if I ask you something other than at name?”

“Like what?”

“Could you tell me if it’s a family member?”

“It was not a person that I’m related to.”

“Was it someone that you owed a favor to?
