Chapter 15:
Panic flashed across the waitress’ face as she suddenly stepped forward and said to Brenna, “Miss, I beg you to accept it. I was wrong to treat you so poorly. Please accept my sincere apology! If you don’t accept this card, I could lose my job. I’m a single mother with a five-year-old son. I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I can’t afford to be fired. Please, forgive me p>
Brenna studied the woman for a moment, her expression unreadable, before turning to the manager. She then reached out and took the card, giving it a slight flick between her fingers.
“Anyone can use this to dine here three times for free?” she asked.
The manager and waitress exhaled in relief as soon as she accepted it. The manager quickly nodded, his tone respectful. “Yes, Miss. No matter how many dishes are ordered, it will be all on the house p>
Brenna turned toward the entrance, her eyes landing on a middle-aged female cleaner sweeping beneath the relentless

She glanced at his name tag, which read Mylo Todd. She said, “Mr. Todd, if that cleaner comes in to dine, will she be served with the same quality service as your usual guests p>
Mylo hesitated. He believed Rosie had a point. Since its opening, the Flavor Restaurant had catered exclusively to the elite. They had never served a cleaner before.
His eyes flicked toward Ethan, looking for guidance.
But instead of agreement, he was met with Ethan’s cold gaze—one filled with unmistakable displeasure.
Mylo straightened his posture and nodded stiffly. “Of course p>
Brenna gave a small nod, then turned and left without another word.
As soon as she was gone, Mylo’s expression darkened. He turned to the waitress. “Evita, you’re fired p>
Evita’s face drained of color, her knees nearly buckling. Her voice cracked with desperation as she said, “Mr. Todd, please! I have a child to support. I can’t lose this job! It is my only lifeline p>
