Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 366

Abby

I step out of Marcus’ car and take a moment to take in the mansion that stands in front of me.

I still can’t believe that I used to call this place home. Hell, I designed almost all of it myself; the gardens, the fountain on the front walkway, the color of the shutters. They’re a soft sage green, a nice contrast from the red bricks. There’s ivy growing up the front, which is new. I like it.

Grabbing my bag, I follow Marcus up the front path and inside.

“Here we are,” Marcus says as he opens the door for me. “I have to attend a meeting, but make yourself at home.”

I nod and watch Marcus leave, then make my way toward the stairs. But as I pass by the dining room, my eyes widen in surprise.

Spread out on the dining table is an array of my favorite foods. My stomach rumbles at the sight of all the delicious dishes. It’s clear that someone has gone to great lengths to make me feel welcome.

As I look at the array, I start to wonder where Karl is. Surely he’ll share a meal with me. I scan the room for any sign of him, but the place seems empty except for a middle-aged woman I’ve never seen before. She approaches me with a warm smile.

“You must be Abby,” she says, extending her hand. “I’m Sarah. Karl is in a meeting right now, but he wanted you to enjoy the food. He’ll be here as soon as he can.”

I shake her hand and offer a polite smile. This must be the woman Karl hired as his campaign manager. She seems nice. “Nice to meet you, Sarah. Thank you for the welcome. The food looks amazing.”

Sarah nods. “It’s our pleasure. Please, have a seat and help yourself. Karl left specific instructions to make sure you’re well taken care of.”

I take a seat at the table, feeling a bit awkward sitting here all alone.
