#Chapter 336: A Good Opportunity

Abby As I chop the vegetables for tonight’s special at the restaurant, my mind is elsewhere. I haven’t stopped thinking about my phone call with the prince’s secretary this morning. A week-long catering event for foreign royalty promises the opportunity of a lifetime—but also means an exhausting commitment away from home, away from the police jurisdiction that I was instructed to stay close to. I’m just not sure… My staff deserves this chance after everything we’ve gone through. It could be huge for our careers, for my restaurant, and maybe even for the Alpha gathering case if Prince Damon is actually the ally that Karl claimed he could be. And yet, leaving the relative safety of Officer Martinez’s watch still makes me balk. Is success worth that risk? I delay deciding as long as possible until Chloe finally corners me in the walk-in cooler just before the dinner rush hits. She plucks the wine bottle from my hands, fixing me with a knowing look. “Spill,” she demands.
