#Chapter 12 – Feel Jealous
Abby
A cool breeze drifts in through the kitchen window, and I cross the room to peer outside. I live on the
top floor of my building, and I’ve got a great view of a nearby park. Standing at the window, I can hear
the whoosh of the wind, and shouts down on the street.
I’ve been waiting to hear from Karl, but he hasn’t called yet. I need to know if my restaurant can open
tonight, so I can get started on everything. The more time that passes, the more tense I become. I
spent the past fifteen minutes staring at the phone, but like a watched pot, staring at it just made it less
likely to ever ring.
My door buzzes, shocking me from my stupor. I cross the bright space and down a narrow hall to the
door.
I press the button and lean in close. “Hello?”
“Abby, it’s Karl. Mind if I come up?”
I don’t answer for a moment. I didn’t exactly tell him where I live, but I guess I didn’t have to. With all
those investigators working for him, I’m sure he knows everything about my life here. As much as I
want to refuse, I don’t think it will deter him.
“Sure.”
Of course, he couldn’t just call.
I press the button to let him in and open my front door. There are only five floors, and it doesn’t take
long before I hear his footsteps on the stairs. He rounds the corner and smiles when he sees me
standing in the doorway. He’s holding a man by the collar, and he shoves him ahead.
“What are you doing here?” I turn to eye the man with him. “Who’s your friend?”
“Oh him?” Karl shoves the man to his knees in front of me. He looks up at Karl with wide eyes, then
turns to me with a pleading look.
“Go on,” Karl says.
“I’m very sorry Abby.” He looks up at me, and I have a hard time meeting his gaze. “I own The Crystal
Palace. I’m the one who made a complaint against your restaurant.”
“Oh.”
