ONELUCYI forgot how much I despised cooking for Laurent Hughes. When he asked me at the last minute to work the private dinner party he was hosting tonight, my first thought was to say no. I needed the money—desperately—but I knew preparing a meal for would come with many challenges.The main one being he might be the biggest douche in the Hamptons. Which is really saying something because this place is filled with pretentious assholes.“When will the food be done?” Laurent comes stomping into his kitchen, his angry voice booming against the walls.I take a deep breath and plaster on a smile, internally scolding myself for agreeing to be his chef tonight. “The main course will be done at the time I told you it would be. I will have the food ready for the staff to bring out at eight.” My words come out rather tight, but they’re still polite. It’s all I can muster when dealing with a man like him.He lets out a disgruntled sigh.My smile remains stiff as I wipe my hands off on my apro

TWOCALI knew it was a bad idea to say yes to this dinner party. Laurent can be a raging asshole, which is truly saying something because I know I’m not always the nicest person to be around.I only agreed because my best friend, Jude, was supposed to come with me. The fucker bailed last minute after something came up and he had to unexpectedly return to Manhattan.I stupidly still came, and my night has consisted of listening to Laurent unnecessarily berate his employees and dodging the weird advances of Warren Simpson’s wife as he ogles one of the waitstaff members.I’m staring at my lap, trying to come up with an excuse for why I need to leave the moment after dessert is served, when Laurent clears his throat.“Here she is,” he announces. My eyes move from my lap to Laurent. Meeting the chef for the night might be the highlight of my evening. The food was incredible.“I’d like everyone to meet Lily. You may have seen her waiting tables at the club, but she also cooks on the side.”

LUCYI’m delicately balancing a tub of cooking utensils and my bag with additional supplies while I walk out to my car when a shadow pushing off the side of Laurent Hughes’s house takes me by surprise.I stifle a scream. “Oh my God.” I take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. If my hands weren’t full, I think my fist would’ve connected with a face out of sheer panic and surprise.“Need a hand?” Callahan asks, already taking the tub from my grasp before I can even respond.“I’ve got it,” I snap, trying to pull it back against my body.What’s worse is he doesn’t even apologize for coming out of nowhere and scaring me. He lets out a low sound of amusement as he effortlessly tugs my things out of my hands completely.“Callahan!” I yell, watching him walk down the driveway, acknowledging nothing I said to him. “Give me my stuff back.”“Which one is yours?” he calls over his shoulder, pointing to the cars parked neatly up the driveway.Annoyed he’s ignoring what I’m saying, I sto

CALI blink a few times, trying to replay Lucy’s response back in my head. I analyze every one of her words, trying to figure out if I heard her wrong. “What do you mean, no?”She crosses her arms across her chest. “It’s a pretty easy word to understand. I mean no. Not happening. Absolutely not.”I frown, wondering why her immediate answer to my proposition is no. She just told me that becoming a private chef for the summer is exactly what she wants.My jaw clenches as I try to figure out how to respond. People rarely tell me no, and because of that, her immediate denial hits harder than I care to admit. “Did you not just say you’d rather be a private chef for the summer over working at Pembroke?”She looks at the ground, making me wonder if this conversation is making her uncomfortable. Her next words are directed toward the driveway as she answers my question. “I said that, but I thought you were asking about your friend Thomas. Not about you. I can’t work for you.”“Why?”She lets
