Chapter 13

Millie hurried on. “I need you to stop by the gourmet coffee bar later this morning to say ‘hello’ to a female passenger who reportedly spends a lot of time up there. All you have to do is be nice to her, throw a compliment or two her way and see what happens.”

Amit’s eyes widened and he began shaking his head. “You know we’re not allowed to mingle with the ship’s guests.”

“You’re not going to mingle with her. All you have to do is say a couple of nice things to the pretty passenger and report back.” Millie tucked her fists under her chin. “Surely, there’s nothing wrong with being nice to the ship’s passengers. Why, I compliment them all of the time.”

Amit turned to Annette and she shrugged. “I don’t see any harm in grabbing a gourmet coffee, stopping to chat with a passenger, maybe give her a compliment or two, and then return to the galley. Just don’t go crazy and whisk her off to your cabin.”

“Oh no.” Amit’s face turned a deep shade of red and he shook his head. “You know I would never do that.”

“We’ll have to do something about your attire.” Millie eyed Amit critically. “Do you have a pair of slacks and collared shirt you could change into?”

“I have some gray slacks and a button down shirt, but I have to work all morning.” Amit gave Annette a helpless look. “I cannot help unless Miss Annette allows me to leave my post.”

“It’s okay if you make it quick.” Annette glanced at the clock on the wall. “We better hustle up with these cinnamon rolls or you’ll never have them ready in time to deliver them to Sharky.”

Annette removed the dough from the bowl and began rolling it out while Millie mixed the sugar and cinnamon. After slathering a generous amount of butter on top of the rolled dough, she sprinkled the sugar and cinnamon on top.

“Perfect.” Annette effortlessly rolled the sugar-coated dough before slicing it and placing the slices in a greased pan. “We’ll have to let these finish rising in the pan.”

“Great. I have enough time to make some quick rounds while those finish up.” Millie removed her apron and hung it on the hook.

Amit followed her to the exit. “What time are we going upstairs?”

“From what I was told, Jennifer is in the coffee bar around nine a.m. each morning. I’ll go with you, so I can point her out. All you have to do is work your magic. Thanks, Amit. I owe you one.”

Millie breezed out of the galley, excited her plan was taking shape. She made her rounds, from the top of the ship to the bottom.

During her rounds, she considered stopping by Nadia and Regan’s suite to check on them, but it was still early and she didn’t want to disturb the couple if they were sleeping in.

Instead, she stopped by Andy’s office to check in and found him seated at his desk. “You must’ve read my mind.
