Okay!” Winnie quickly wiped her hands and sat across from her. She watched Josie’s face like a hawk, trying to read her every reaction.

She made a mental note of every dish Josie went back to for a second or third bite.

She had to learn exactly what her boss liked. That was the only way to stay indispensable.

At first, Josie just took small bites, testing the waters.,

But after the first few tastes? Damn. It was actually good. Like, really good.

After living off Uber Eats for days, her stomach had been ready to go on strike.

Nothing beat a real, home–cooked meal.

Even though the spread was mostly meat, it didn’t taste like the processed, chemical–filled junk she was used to.

Everything was seasoned perfectly with real ingredients.

The texture was different, and her body could feel the difference immediately.

he couldn’t help herself. Before she knew it, Josie had cleared almost every plate on the table.

uckily, there was enough food for Winnie to eat her fill too.

Once they finished, Winnie didn’t wait to be told. She jumped right up to wash the dishes, wipe down the table, and sweep the floors.

he was like a busy little bee, moving with purpose.

osie waited until the place was spotless before she spoke. “I’ll let you stay for now, but there’s a catch.”

Name it! Winnie said, her eyes lighting up as she rubbed her hands together.

Every meal has to be this good. Also, I need you to prep grab–and–go meals for me–three meats and one veggie per box. I’ll leave the menu ou.” Josie flicked her wrist, and a mountain of rice, flour, meat, and fresh vegetables slammed onto the floor.

(es, absolutely! I’ll make sure the menu is perfect,” Winnie promised, nodding like crazy. “I’ll make sure you’re eating like a queen. But… this is a lot of >od. It’ll spoil if it just sits out. How about you just give me what I need for the day? I’ll ask you for supplies every morning.

Fair enough. Josie waved her hand, and most of the pile vanished back into her storage.

You know, seeing all this reminds me of something,” Winnie said. “I used to work part–time at a high–end hotel, remember? Every big hotel has its own ›ld–chain supplier. They get the absolute best meat and produce delivered directly to them.”

ort City has three major cold–chain logistics companies,” June said. “One of them is actually pretty close to us.”

t’s been over ten days since the world ended, and with this heat, most of the fruits and veggies out there are probably rotten mush. But these ompanies have their own industrial freezers and cold storage units.”

ort City is just too crowded. Same–day delivery is a joke there–the logistics can’t keep up.”

That’s why the cold storage companies keep a massive backup. They’ve usually got two weeks to a month’s worth of stock sitting in their warehouses at 1 times.”

f a bad storm hits and the trucks can’t get into the city, they won’t run out. The supply chain keeps moving like nothing happened.”

loss, if you’re game, you should definitely hit this cold storage facility. You can never have too many supplies, right?”

sie perked up immediately. “You know where it is?”

do! Winnie nodded hard. I actually worked a few shifts there before. Let me write down the addre for you!”

Meanwhile…

ine was also talking to Mr. Victor about hitting the next cold storage warehouse.

We need to raid the facility on the edge of town before the crowd catches on,” June told him. ‘Once they figure out what’s happening, there won’t be a amn thing left for us!”

The military and the locals are all fixated on the grain depots right now. They haven’t even thought about the fresh produce yet.”
