Three hours later, my feet were begging me to take them home, and I was covered in sweat and kitchen grease. I would probably have to burn my clothes. There wasn’t any amount of laundry detergent that could cut through the grime that covered me.

I’d shed my coat as soon as we’d closed the kitchen. That wasn’t as easily replaced as a pair of black pants. Well, it could have been. But I liked this one. Call me superstitious, but it had weathered a lot of stressful nights with me. It was the old friend I could always count on.

Stripped down to a tight black tank top and my loose black pants, I stumbled my way to Wyatt’s office. I’d been as slow as he’d foreseen cleaning the two stations. But I had also been thorough and meticulous. Throughout the late hours, I’d watched him berate my coworkers when their work had gotten sloppy. I’d gone with the do-it-right-the-first-time method, hopefully saving me from a bitch fest.

But knowing Wyatt, he was bound to find something to nag at me about.

I knocked on the heavy door to his office and waited for his invitation to enter. I was the only one left in the kitchen. Benny and Endo were around somewhere. I had a suspicion they were in the dining room sleeping while they waited for me to finish. Unsurprisingly, nobody had offered to help me. Working in a kitchen was like willingly spending your evenings in a shark tank. Without a protective cage to save you from getting bitten.

After waiting for what I considered a lengthy amount of time, I knocked again. Harder this time. Still no answer from the other side.

Since the office was located at the back of the kitchen, I was confident Wyatt hadn’t left. I’d watched him walk inside after he’d checked out the expo station and shut the door behind him. Unless I was so focused on my work that I hadn’t noticed him tiptoe past me, he was still in there, probably maniacally plotting my demise, or at the very least, world domination.

I pushed open the door and found him sleeping.

The adrenaline came back in full force and I wasn’t sure why. This was the most nonthreatening I had ever seen him. Even when he wasn’t my boss, he’d always carried around this razor-sharp bite that scared away most people.

The only person I’d ever seen Wyatt behave nicely toward was Vera. But since she didn’t work in our kitchen but owned a food truck across the street at the time, she wasn’t considered competition. Killian, his idol, had also fallen for Vera and that was all the seal of approval Wyatt had needed. I’d even seen them laugh and joke around together. It was like watching an alien invasion.

Wyatt didn’t joke around. And he didn’t smile. He preferred to snarl, snap, and wear a scowl that was giving him massive forehead wrinkles. Vera was the only person I’d seen him chill out around.
