Sarah stormed into her office. What was Raffe thinking, coming to see her today again? And right when she had to be getting all the food ready, which he, of all people, knew was when she did not want any disruptions! Wasn’t the purse enough excitement for him for the day? Had he forgotten how to use his phone? Couldn’t he just text her?

She grabbed the paper with the meat vendor’s phone number on it and punched it into her phone.

“This is Sarah from O’Rourke’s. Can you tell me why your driver dropped the food off at the wrong loading dock today?”

She waited impatiently for an answer while she paced around her office. Even though the tasting was at seven and she really didn’t even have time to call about this, the situation was bugging her, and she wanted to know why on earth they had put the delivery where they had. She tapped her foot impatiently while the receptionist placed her on hold.

“Ma’am? The driver said that one of your chefs instructed him to drop it there.”

“What? Who? Did they get a name? What did they look like?”

She was placed on hold again, and Sarah immediately began to make a list in her head of who could have done it. Maybe it had been one of the newer sous-chefs, Amber. She was the only one who was fairly new, having only worked half a dozen events so far.

“Ma’am, he said he thinks it was a man with… some kind of big bag. Like a purse.”

“What? He thinks it was a man? How can he not know whether it was a man or a woman?” Sarah questioned.

“Well, he said that the person had a very gruff voice and that they were wearing a black chef’s coat and sounded mannish but also looked a little feminine. These days I guess that doesn’t mean much. I’m sorry about the mishap.”

Sarah’s mouth hung open as she mumbled a thank-you and hung up. Raffe had been wearing a light black jacket that could have been mistaken for a chef’s coat. And Raffe had had that stupid purse with him, and what other man around this place had a purse? Raffe wasn’t really feminine, though, but she supposed anyone carrying a pink purse might seem feminine to the driver of the food truck. But why would he want to screw up her food delivery? Was this some kind of deranged plan to mess up her job at O’Rourke’s so that she had no choice but to beg him for her job at EightyEight back?

She stood up and then sat back down, her mouth open. This couldn’t be Raffe, the guy who had intentionally thrown the cooking contest that he had been so desperate to win so that someone who had less than him could win it. Raffe was a good guy. Wasn’t he?

She didn’t have time for this! She sent Raffe a quick text and hurried back to the kitchen. She would need to figure out who the mystery man or woman that had changed the delivery location was later on.
