"Tables 15, 11, and 23 been waiting over a fucking hour on their food!" Aurora doesn't yell often, but there's nothing she hates more than wasting people's time by having them wait extremely long on an order.

"Chef Robinson. We ran out of—"

"Don't Chef Robinson me. The truck was unloaded how long ago? You act like you're fishing for the fucking lobsters and fish yourself. Get their food out. Now!"

There was so much going on in the kitchen that morning. The truck to deliver their fresh produce was over two hours late, only half of her meet order came in, and two of her staff members were sick. Aurora was stressed, to the absolute max.

"You okay?" One of her head chefs, Wyatt, came knocking on her office door, where she'd retreated after all the commotion in the kitchen had died down and things were back to normal. Or at least as normal as a busy kitchen can get in the middle of the day.

"I'm fine Wyatt," she ran her hands through her hair.

"You sure? You seem a little stressed."

"Because I am," she admitted.

Not only was her restaurant(s) stressing her out, she had an entire menu to plan for a A-list actor's wedding by that Friday that she hadn't even started on yet.

"What's stressing you out?" Wyatt walked in her office, closed the door behind him, and sat down on the couch she had in there.

"Everything," she sighed.

"That wedding menu you said you gotta do?"

"Yeah," she looked up at him. And not only did she have that wedding menu to do, her and her catering crew also had a wedding to work that weekend too.

"What you got so far?"

"Absolutely nothing," she turned her paper around to show him that it was completely blank save for 'William's Wedding Menu' scribbled at the top. "And this bitch is so picky so everything I was suggesting, she shot down. She wants vegan and vegetarian options. Gluten free options. Low carb. No red meat or pork what so ever. Like how the fuck am I supposed to work around that?"

She kept ranting for a few seconds, Wyatt just sitting there listening to her like he always does, before she heard a knocking on the door.

"Come in," Aurora called to whoever it was, hoping to God it wasn't another issue going on in the kitchen.

"Sage? What the hell are you doing here?"

"Nice to see you too Roro," she gave her older sister a very sarcastic smile.
