#Chapter 20 – Accepting Help
Abby
“Stop joking around,” I say, placing my empty glass on the ground. “This is serious.”
“I’m not joking.”
We stare across the room at each other. I kind of want to laugh, but something tells me he wouldn’t
appreciate that. Still, there’s no way he’s going to come into my restaurant and work in the back. He
might think he wants to help, but I’m not sure he knows what that job actually entails. Plus, it’s not like
he has tons of free time on his hands. He’s an Alpha. Even if the pack is in a better position, there’s still
a million things he has to do on a daily basis.
“Okay, whatever you say,” I answer, opting for levity.
He frowns, a determined look on his face. “Why won’t you let me help you?”
“I just don’t think you understand what you’re saying.”
He rolls his eyes. “I understand perfectly fine, thank you.”
I can tell I’ve offended him a little, but I don’t feel all that bad about it. I need real help. Actual
employees. Not my ex-husband stacking dishes in the back. I doubt he’s cleaned a dish in his life.
“I just don’t think you have the time.”
“I know what I have time for and what I don’t,” he answers. “And I’m no stranger to hard work.”
“Well, Ethan and I are going over everything at the restaurant tomorrow. So, if you still want to help,
you can show up sometime in the morning.” I don’t expect him to show up at all. “Fine,” he says,
leaning back in his chair with a self-satisfied smile. “Then I’ll see you there.”
Ethan watches me finish my second coffee of the morning, a look of concern on his face. After last
night’s debacle, I’m both hungover and exhausted. By the time I went to bed, I had maybe four hours of
uninterrupted sleep before I had to wake up and drag myself over here.
If this headache isn’t a sign that I shouldn’t drink that much ever again, then I don’t know what is.
“We need to get up and running before those negative reviews have time to fester,” I say.
The most important thing is that I get ahead of the competition. I can’t disappear completely, and just
recede into the background. If I’m going to maintain my position as a must-go spot, then I need to
