#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

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.”
Karl snarls at him.
