#Chapter 17 – Betrayal
Abby
“What? Why?” Some of them have worked for me for years, Olivia the longest of them all. What would
drive her and the others to quit so suddenly?
No one answers.
“Why are you all quitting?” I repeat. I’m not letting them leave here until I get some sort of explanation.
No one looks at me. Clearly, none of them want to be the one to step forward and tell me the truth.
After all these years together, they were just going to sneak away in the night without an explanation.
Without even finishing their shifts.
Finally, Olivia comes forward, a determined look on her face. “Because they’re joining my restaurant.”
I turn to her, my eyebrows going up. “Your restaurant?”
She nods.
“But why? Am I not good enough to work for?”
She shrugs. “I just haven’t enjoyed working for you. I’ve felt for a long time that I could do a better job,
and so I started my own place.”
I thought we were friends, but I can see now that I was mistaken. That realization alone is almost as
shocking as the news that every single one of my employees wants to work for her over me.

I can feel Karl’s eyes on me, and I suddenly wish I just took a cab. Of course, after telling him I didn’t
need his help, he had to bear witness to my failure.
“I didn’t realize you felt that way,” I say as monotone as possible. I can’t let them see how hurt I am.
“You’re still stuck in this ridiculous family system.”
“Right.”
“And I just know my place will be really popular.” She looks around at the others. “Everyone else
