Music fills the air around me. The head chef—or as she insists we call her, chef de cuisine—likes to play songs while she cooks. I wouldn’t have any problem with that, if it wasn’t for the fact that most of the songs are really slow songs that I’ve never heard before. I think they’re from the ’80s. Her choice in songs would make more sense if she was in her sixties or something but nope, Madam Francine is in probably in her late thirties at most. And she despises me.

“Newbie,” she calls in her annoying high-pitched, silvery voice.

I let out a soft breath before moving to stand in front of her. “You called, ma’am,” I say politely.

“Yes, Sophia’s about to have a baby,” she states, pointing one of her short-manicured nails at one of the other chefs who is noticeably pregnant. “So you’re going to take over her shift. She usually opens up the kitchen at 7 a.m. to cater to the needs of the hotel’s early risers. That’s not a problem, right?”

She looks like she wants it to be a problem, just so she can have a reason to have it out with me. But I’m not going to rise to the bait. I might have to say goodbye to late mornings but I’ll do everything to make sure I’m worthy of this job.

“Does that mean I’ll be in charge of breakfast?” I ask, the thought instantly causing me to smile. At least I’ll finally get to cook and prepare meals, instead of being useless in the background.

Francine’s gray eyes narrow. “I guess,” she replies.

“Thank you.”

The sous chef walks up to her and whispers something in her ear. Francine nods and sighs.

“We’re just going to have to trust her with it, Mark. No one else can make time to be here in the mornings.”

He was trying to take the job away from me? Screw you, Mark.

I surreptitiously flip him off and he glares through his black frame eye-glasses. I’m done trying to win their favor. They might not think I deserve to be here, but I’m going to prove to them that I do. It’s not like they can fire me anyway.

Two-o-clock in the afternoon doesn’t come fast enough and by the time it does, I’m ready to drop onto a bed and sleep. I woke up early this morning, and that coupled with the night I had and a rough day at work and I’m exhausted. I’m changing out of my work attire when my phone lights up with a text from Xander.

You’re off work, right? I sent John to bring you to my office.

My eyes flutter shut and I groan. He’s really not helping me out right now. I seriously need to talk to him about discreetness.

Although now that I think about it, their suspicions are correct. I really am sleeping with their boss.
