Chapter Eight

Paige didn’t know what to make of Mr. Crofton. He seemed like a sweet man, but he was also a bit awkward around her. She knew he had a lot on his plate, what with his mother’s cold behavior and all of the new employees he was trying to be welcoming towards. She’d been working on the ranch for a while now, but it remained a mystery to her. She was often so busy helping Mrs. Crofton with the event planning she didn’t have time to ask questions about the history of the place. Since Mr. Crofton had acted friendly towards her at the dinner they had recently, she wondered if it might be better to ask him about it.

Ever since he’d had a chat with his mother, things had improved with her, but the older woman was still a bit stiff with Paige. It was clear she didn’t wish to be sharing the role but she was making do as best as she could. It was an adjustment period for both of them. But Paige was still living in constant fear and doubt about whether or not she was going to be able to keep this job.

Aside from Mr. Crofton – I’m supposed to refer to him as Doug, she reminded herself – Paige had been able to get to know a few of the other people who worked at the ranch. The new hires who got to work with Beatrice Snyder were so lucky and she was jealous of them, though she didn’t really have any desire to get into catering. She’d never been one for cooking, though she loved eating and she could imagine the wonderful barbeque smells alone, making it all worthwhile. One of the workers who worked with Beatrice wasn’t a new hire, though; at least, Paige didn’t believe so. She was an older woman, a little younger than Bea. She didn’t act as subservient as the new hires did. Paige hoped to get to know this woman and see what she might be able to learn from her.

A few days after the whole staff of the ranch went out to dinner together, Paige miraculously found some time to go and introduce herself to the woman who worked on the catering staff. She met her in the kitchen, where she was working on cleaning some pots and pans.

“Hello,” Paige said to her with a friendly smile. She felt much less nervous about meeting her, because she didn’t really have the ability to fire her like Helen did. “I don’t believe we’ve been introduced yet. I saw you at dinner the other night. I’m Paige Lancaster; I work in events coordinating.”

She offered her hand to the other woman, who gladly took and shook it. “I’m June Banks. It’s nice to meet you.”

Paige jumped right in and helped her with the pot cleaning; she knew a thing or two about that from her years of helping her mom in the kitchen, even if she didn’t know how to actually cook much.
