All in all, the talk with Anna had gone well. No promises, but she’d been reasonable. It gave Lucie hope that they’d straighten the mess out. Antoine would return as a client and, more importantly, maybe invest in the dog food company.

On her way to her car, Lucie fired up her phone. The voicemail alert chimed. And chimed. And chimed. Goodness, her phone was blowing up.

The phone rang. Ro’s ringtone. Four calls and three texts. Overkill much? She hit the sidewalk and punched the answer button as she walked.

“Oh. My God!” Ro said. “Where are you?”

Lucie laughed. Couldn’t help it. Dealing with a hyped-up Ro was better than a hit off a crack pipe. Assuming a hit off a crack pipe was good. “Just leaving my meeting with Anna. Why?”

“Meet me at McCormick Place.”

“Why?”

“The chef.”

“Antoine?”

“No. His friend. The broke-and-about-to-get-his-ass-sued one. He’s got a one-day gig at a food show. They feature a different chef every half hour. It’s open to the public.”

Hmmm. Interesting. “And you know this how?”

“I followed him on Twitter. He posted it.”

Very good. The drama queen definitely got points for that.

“And,” Ro added, “let me just say, he is a very. Bad. Boy.”

Lucie reached the corner and pressed the button to cross, her eyes focused on the electronic sign urging her not to walk. “What did he do?”

“I Googled him. He’s had a few DUIs, a disturbing the peace charge, and an assault charge. The assault is sketchy. Looks like a bar fight. Lord, that’s Joey every weekend. That one was dismissed, but he was later sued for damages. Medical bills and that. He’s on the hook for $45,000.”

That made two lawsuits, including the one pending from the wedding-gone-wrong.

“Huh,” Lucie said. “He’s a hot mess, isn’t he?”

“You know it, girl. If you want to get a look at him, he’ll be the featured chef at 1:30. I’m heading home now to change. I’ll meet you there.”

Leave it to Ro to waste time changing when the skirt and sweater she’d had on that morning were perfectly acceptable.

“Why are you changing?”

“Seriously? My work is never done. I need a button-down blouse in case we call in the troops.”
