My Stepbrother Banned My Fish Fry, So I Made Him Beg novel · Chapter 11 of 24
Chapter 11: Chicago
At two in the morning on Wednesday, Karl was waiting for me at the prep table in the dark kitchen.
A business card lay flat on the steel in front of him.
I had come downstairs for a glass of water.
I stopped in the doorway in my sleep shirt and bare feet.
The card was white with a cooper's barrel printed in the corner.
I knew whose it was before I read the name.
"I did the laundry," Karl said. "It was in your jeans."
"Hartmann-"
"Sous chef. Sixty-eight thousand. I looked it up."
His voice was quiet and flat.
His hands were braced on the table edge on either side of the card.
"You've had it since the sixth of October," he said. "That's five weeks."
"I know how long."
"You stood at my fryer with it in your pocket. You let me take you to a lake."
"I didn't call him," I said.
"You didn't throw it out."
"I didn't have to throw it out. I wasn't going to call."
