CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Alex

As Cade drives to the next bar we plan to visit tonight, all I can think about is what Kat said about me. Damn, she truly hates me. I don’t think I’ve ever had anyone hate me like this. I honestly don’t know what to do about it either.

“What the hell was wrong with staying at Jasper’s for a few drinks? I know Tim can be an asshole, but it was his bachelor party,” Cade says in frustration, unaware why I wanted to get the hell out of there so quickly.

“It wasn’t Tim. Tim was fine. Drunk, but fine. It was that cooking show person. Kat. She and her friend were at the bar.”

That’s not even close to a real explanation, but I don’t know how to go into the actual reason why I needed to get the hell away from that place.

At a stoplight, Cade turns to look at me. “The woman from the show? What the hell do you care if she’s at a bar we’re at? It’s not like you have to hang out with her.”

“No, I don’t have to hang out with her. That’s not it. While you and Tim were talking, I walked over to say hi to Sadie. I got to hear Kat give her real opinion about me.”

The light turns green, and he presses his foot to the gas pedal, pushing me back in the passenger seat. “So? What the hell do you care what she thinks of you?”

“I don’t. Well, I shouldn’t. I guess hearing that I’m the world’s biggest dick and she’s sure everyone I work with hates me because my father and uncle own the restaurant I work at wasn’t exactly what I needed to hear tonight.”

“That’s what she said? Damn, she is a royal bitch.”

“She said a bunch more, but that was the main gist of it. That I got my job as head chef at CK because my family owns the place and everyone there hates me.”

A slow smile lifts the corners of his mouth as he takes a corner almost on two wheels. “Oh, so she brought out the nepotism business. Harsh.”

“Yeah, fucking harsh, but why do you look like you’re enjoying this?”

Cade shrugs as if my bruised ego means nothing to him. “I’m not. It’s just that she’s not really far off the mark. Your father and Kane weren’t exactly going to let you go work at another restaurant when you graduated from culinary school. Not that I have any issues with nepotism. I’m not exactly suffering from it either. Now that I’ve accepted that Club X is where I’m meant to be, I’m planning on keeping it once my father decides it’s time to pack it in and hang out at the pool working on his tan all day.”

Nice. My best friend thinks I only got my job because of my last name.

“For your information, let me remind you that I didn’t start out at CK as head chef. Nepotism might be part of
