The Devil's Own Chloe (Bistro La Bohème Series) - Plot & Excerpts
Hugo plants himself in front of me and hands me my martini. I take a small sip. “I did.” “How about now?” He smiles even though the expression in his eyes is serious. Now’s the perfect time. “Hmm.” I study the olive in my glass. “There are too many people here. I can’t even hear myself speak.” Coward. He smirks. “I can hear you all right.” I give another hmm and look around. A well-dressed, cheerful crowd fills La Bohème on this invitation-only night before its public reopening. People stand in small groups around the front room and bar area. Some sit at the tables that are pushed to the walls. Jeanne’s walls, now that my work here is done. Since the party started a couple of hours ago, Hugo and I have received tons of compliments on the “complete but respectful” makeover we’ve given this place. Our order book has filled up to the point where I’ve begun to turn people down. There’s only so much Hugo, René, and I can accomplish in a day, a week, and a month even if we put in insanely long hours.
