CHAPT

ER 17

“What do you mean she was making the cupcakes for the gala?” I yell.

It’s the end of the day and the bakery’s front doors are locked, and they chose now to lay this bit of information on me. Today is Friday, which means the gala is tomorrow night. I might throw up.

“Well, I tried to tell ya, but you had those crazy eyes going like you don’t got all what belongs to ya,” she says, her index finger pointed at me.

“Well, I’ll need your help, then,” I say with a shrug.

“Can’t,” she says. “Debbie and I’ve had plans for ages now. We can’t change ‘em. We’re goin’ to a concert. Gonna see that Florida Georgia Line.”

“Are you serious?” I ask, feeling my heart start to pick up speed.

“Sorry, darlin’,” she says.

“Yeah, sorry Julia,” Debbie says. Not even a hint of a possible change of plans in her tone.

“They’re all baked and in the freezer. You just gotta frost ‘em,” Patti says, pointing toward the large walk-in cooler.

“I have to frost a thousand cupcakes?” I question, my eyes closing as I take in the task at hand.

“Well, you’ve got us for an hour or so; let’s see what we can punch out,” Patti says and Debbie nods her head in agreement.

At this point, I’ll take what I can get. Next time I decide to go all Terminator and fire my employee, I should probably know what kind of tasks I’ll be left to do in her absence. They don’t teach you this in business management. Of course, that wasn’t even my major so I don’t know if that’s true.

We get to work frosting cupcakes. Mostly in silence, but every once in a while Debbie and Patti offer up some gossip or something that’s going on. I’m so drained I can barely even keep up with the conversation.

“You know, Julia,” Patti says. “Deb and I were warmin’ up to Kate. She really wasn’t so bad.”

“Now you tell me,” I say, frosting what seems like my millionth cupcake, but I think I’ve only done fifty or so.

“No really, she wasn’t so bad,” Debbie says.

“You guys, it’s kinda late to be telling me this now, isn’t it?” I say. Seriously, isn’t there a hole I could go lay in? The tile floor I’m standing on is looking comfortable at this point. I’m so freaking tired.

“Anyway, she went over my head too many times. She changed too many things.”

“Yeah, I guess I’d be mad if I were you,” Debbie says. She’s done twice as many cupcakes as I have. Patti too.

“I don’t want to talk about it. I just want to finish these cupcakes and then go home,” I say.

“Oh, but you can’t,” Debbie says.

“Yeah, you’ve gotta box these and then take them over to the hotel where the gala is,” Patti says, her hands wrapped around a piping bag.

“Let me guess,” I say feeling completely deflated, “Kate was going to do that.”

“Yep,” they both say.

Good gravy. What have I done?
