Chapter 52: You Said Fifteen Minutes, Right?
Tanggal publikasi:
2026-09-15 22:00:15The moment Riley stepped back into the service corridor, she realized just how suspicious she looked.
She was wearing a black jacket and a long apron over a deep blue evening gown, carrying her heels in one hand—and she was barefoot.
“...I look even more suspicious than I did on the way out.”
The male staff member she had passed earlier stopped this time.
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine. I just went outside for some air.”
Riley answered, then looked do

Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 158: Today, It’s Dana’s Job
Marcus had the day off.Riley’s security detail, naturally, did not.Two doors down from the diner, Dana sat by the window of a café with a cup of coffee in front of her.An open magazine lay on the table.Her phone rested beside it.To anyone looking, she appeared to be a woman spending a quiet afternoon alone.In reality, her eyes occasionally moved toward the window.Across the street, Riley and Tasha were sitting inside the diner.And at the counter was Marcus.On his day off.Dana took another sip of coffee.“...Why is he there?”Of course, Marcus was free to spend his day off wherever he wanted.The problem was that he had chosen to spend it in the exact place where Riley happened to be, which made things slightly more complicated from a security perspective.Her phone buzzed.Marcus: No issues.Dana stared at the message.After a few sec
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 157: Marcus Gets Days Off Too
On Sunday afternoon, Riley was at the diner with Tasha.She wasn’t working that day.They had just stopped by in the middle of shopping and were sitting by the window, picking at a basket of fries.“Benji says he wants to go back to Grant’s office,” Riley said.Tasha took her mouth off the straw in her iced tea.“You cannot let him do that.”“Grant said he could come back when he wasn’t working.”“Then Grant is part of the problem.”“I think he actually had fun talking to Benji.”“He should’ve stopped after the first five minutes.”“It turned into forty.”“Next time it’ll be two hours.”“Probably.”They were both laughing when the bell over the front door rang.Riley looked over without thinking.Then froze.“...What?”Tasha turned too.A very large man stood near the entrance.Tall.Broad-shouldered.Extremely familiar.Except he
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 156: Five Minutes Does Not End in Five Minutes
It did not end in five minutes.Twenty minutes later, Riley and the others peeked back into Grant’s office.Benji was still exactly where they had left him.The only difference was that he had borrowed a chair.“He moved in,” Riley said.Benji turned.“We’re at a good part.”“What happened to five minutes?”“It passed.”“I know.”Riley looked at Grant.“You were supposed to stop him.”“I tried.”“You tried?”“I finished the explanation. Then he asked another question.”“That’s why you’re not supposed to answer!”“I started finding it interesting too.”“You too?!”Tasha laughed from where she was leaning against the doorframe.The large display showed sales, inventory, shipping, reservations, operating status, and other figures that varied from company to company.Benji pointed at it.“But every company uses a different system, right?”
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 155: Do Not Let Benji Into the Office
On Saturday afternoon, Riley was sitting in the Whitmore mansion living room, looking at her phone.Jax, Tasha, and Benji had come over that day.Not that they had any particular plans. Jax was sprawled across the couch watching TV, Tasha was flipping through a magazine, and Riley was sitting beside her answering messages.The problem was Benji.“Where’s Benji?”Riley looked up.Without taking his eyes off the television, Jax answered, “He was here a minute ago.”“That does not answer the question.”“Went to get water, maybe?”Tasha closed her magazine.“Ten minutes ago?”The three of them went quiet.Riley stood.“We should find him.”“How do you lose Benji in this house?”Jax finally sat up.“Because it’s huge?”“This feels like losing a kid at the zoo.”“Close enough.”“He’s gonna be offended if he hears you.”“First we have to find him.”
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 154: The Regular Who’s Really Picky About Pie
It was Mia’s fourth day at the diner.By Saturday afternoon, the lunch rush had finally started to die down.Riley was wiping an empty table when the bell over the front door rang.“Welco—”She looked up and immediately smiled.“You’re back again.”“Are you ever going to improve that greeting?”Charles walked in.Marcus was, naturally, right behind him.“You’re a regular. It’s fine.”“You say that every time.”“Because you keep coming back.”Charles did not argue and headed toward his usual table by the window.Marcus followed.Mia approached with an order pad in hand.“I’ll get them.”“Go ahead.”Riley gave her no explanation.Mia still had no idea who Charles was.From a short distance away, Riley watched her step up to the table with her usual smile.“Hi. Know what you want?”“What pies do you have today?”That was his first que
Catch Me, Maybe Chapter 153: We Have a New Hire
On Wednesday afternoon, Riley came in through the diner’s back door and immediately found Nora walking toward her a little faster than usual.“Perfect timing.”“I don’t like the sound of that.”“We’re not moving a couch today.”“How do you know about that?”“You spent half your last shift complaining that your arms hurt.”“That was Jax’s fault.”“Sure. Anyway, new hire.”Nora tilted her head toward the dining room.At the end of the counter stood a girl Riley had never seen before.She looked about Riley’s age, maybe a little younger. Her black hair was tied back at shoulder length, and the borrowed uniform she was wearing still looked too new on her. Her hands were folded neatly in front of her, and every time someone spoke to her, even her spine seemed to straighten.“She starting today?”“Yep. Mia Lopez. Seventeen. Mostly after school and weekends.”“Huh.”“You’re with her today.”
