Chapter 2 - Gabriel Orders Chloe Back To The VIP Room
The kitchen doors of Il Canto swung shut behind Chloe with a soft, padded sigh.
Her heart hammered against her ribs like a trapped bird desperate to escape a cage.
She leaned against the stainless steel prep table, trying to steady her breathing before returning to her other tables.
Marco hurried over from the expo station, his eyes wide with a mixture of terror and disbelief.
“What on earth did you just do in there with Costello?” Marco hissed under his breath.
“I delivered her correct order,” Chloe replied evenly, wiping her palms on her apron.
Before Marco could scold her further, the heavy wooden service door pushed open again.
One of Gabriel Costello’s armed lieutenants stepped into the kitchen, scanning the room with sharp, predatory eyes.
The chef immediately froze, and the dishwashers dropped their sponges in absolute silence.

The lieutenant’s gaze locked directly onto Chloe, sending a cold shiver down her spine.
“Boss wants the waitress back in the VIP room right now,” the man ordered coldly.
