Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 341

Abby

Today has been a whirlwind of frustration and disappointment.

After the health inspector shut down my restaurant and the news media turned against me, I know I have to do something. I can’t just sit around and let my reputation crumble without a fight.

So, I decide to take matters into my own hands and try to unravel the mystery behind the string of unfortunate incidents that have befallen my business.

I’ve been pacing back and forth in my living room for nearly an hour, pondering how to go about this. My phone has practically been ringing nonstop, and finally, I decide to answer it with a sigh.

It’s Chloe.

“What is it?” I bark, far more sharply than I meant to.

Chloe pauses for a moment, and I can tell she’s perturbed. “Abby, honey,” she finally says in a cautious tone, “are you okay?”

I stop my pacing, chewing my lower lip. “Well, not really,” I admit with a wry chuckle. “This is bullshit. All of it.”

“I know,” Chloe says with a sigh. “How are you holding up?”

I pause for a moment as I look around at my living room. It’s a bit of a mess right now; at some point, during my frantic search for information, I dug through my filing cabinet to find the documents from the potential arson case that went nowhere. Papers are scattered all around my coffee table.

“I’m, um, fine,” I say. “Just trying to figure stuff out.”

She sighs again. “You’re playing detective, aren’t you?”

Her words hit home. She knows me too well; there’s no sense in hiding it.

“Yeah, I’m trying to get to the bottom of it,” I say. “Chloe, my kitchen has always been spotless. Up until the cooking competition business started, I had never had a food poisoning outbreak; so how is it that, all of a sudden, I’m getting two back-to-back—one of which is the Alpha gathering?”

Chloe is silent for several moments. My words all just came out in a rush, and I realize that I sound a little crazy right now.
