The Reluctant Baker (The Greek Village Collection Book 10) - Plot & Excerpts
‘Why is life never easy?’ she asks the chart on the wall. Her heart is with Ellie but her eyes trace the various delivery dates for the things that keep the hotel running smoothly. The people who do the deliveries offer a very comprehensive service. They have a brother who has a laundry so her sheets are in with the deal too, as is the daily bread that comes from a bakery in Saros, run by a distant cousin of Mitsos. It was he who recommended the service in the first place. In truth, Mitsos’ cousin’s bread is good, but it is not as good as Loukas’. But it was part of the deal, so it is as it is. Anyway, it is a total package and it took away much of the worry in the first tentative weeks of opening the hotel’s doors. In the long run, she needs to break that package apart and find cheaper sources for everything. That’s if she can remain open. She and Mitsos had another argument over a troubling letter that came from Saros’ planning department. Mitsos immediately started to worry and told her, in unusually harsh terms, that she had taken too big a risk inviting the mayor and his friends to the big opening.
