Chapter Seven

Chloe woke up ravenous.

Finding her fridge empty of everything but a lonely cup of strawberry yogurt and a Diet Coke, Chloe showered hurriedly and raced to the corner cafe. Over a Hungry Man breakfast—three scrambled eggs, two sausage links, cheese grits and buttermilk biscuits—and a strong cup of coffee with cream, she read through Damien’s contract. All seemed to be in order. More than in order, actually. His terms were generous to a fault. He had included a personal note to her—

‘Dear Chloe,

I’m hopeful that you’ll come on board at Volare, at least for the short term. I really need someone with your skills and experience, and I think you would enjoy the work environment. I’d love for you to get my financial books in order and assist with the growth of my restaurant, Razzo, and I’m interested to see if you’ll feel comfortable helping with my therapy practice.

Respectfully,

Damien’

After she’d cleaned her plate and had had two coffee refills, Chloe paid her cheque and headed home. She was curious, flattered and intimidated, no doubt. She was also very, very interested.

He answered his phone on the third ring. “Yes,” she informed him calmly. “I’d like to take you up on your offer.”

“Excellent,” he replied. “Can you come prepared to work Monday morning at nine?”

“Absolutely,” Chloe answered. After she had hung up, she looked around her tidy, spare kitchen. Everything was in its place. Orderly, clean and predictable. Just like her life. Perhaps her neat, tidy kitchen would survive this career move, but Chloe had a feeling that the rest of her life was about to change dramatically.
