Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 308

Abby

I take a deep breath as the Alpha party begins, the buzz of excitement and chatter filling the air. It’s finally here, the culmination of months of hard work and preparation. I couldn’t be more excited—and I also couldn’t be more terrified.

“Abby, the first orders are coming in,” John calls out, a bead of sweat glistening on his brow as he stands over the grill.

I nod in acknowledgment and grab the first order ticket: frutti di mare. An easy one, because all of the ingredients were prepped ahead of time. I just need to throw it together on the stove and then it’s done.

But it doesn’t stay easy for long. Before I know it, the kitchen is rapidly turning into a warzone. The orders are flying in faster than a dinner rush on a Saturday night, and the hors d’oeuvres that we prepared earlier need to be restocked.

I hate to say it, but I didn’t expect the food to be this much of a success. I feel like if I don’t watch it, I’ll drown.

“Two steaks coming up, one medium rare and one medium,” John says. “Abby, how are the potatoes coming along?”

I glance at the pan of potatoes cooking in the oven. “Almost done. Another minute.”

Anton, our resident pastry chef for tonight, is busy at the dessert station, meticulously assembling the tiramisu. He’s a perfectionist when it comes to his desserts, and it shows in the intricate layers he creates.

In fact, it appears as though his perfection isn’t going unnoticed at the Alpha party.

“Abby, the tiramisu is a huge hit out there,” Chloe calls out as she bursts through the door, her excitement palpable. “People are raving about it!”

“That’s fantastic! You hear that, Anton? Your tiramisu is a hit!”

“Merde,” Anton huffs as he wipes his brow with the back of his wrist. “I can hardly keep up. Who knew!”

I let out a soft sigh and turn to Chloe. “Chloe, try to push a different dessert for a little bit. Recommend the peach cobbler instead.”
