In My Desperate Time

"I have done nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?"

I say stubbornly.

"Jane, do you want your job or not? You did something wrong because our distinguished guest said so. If you don't apologize, you can pack your things and leave here."

Lose the job and leave?

No.

I have to stay here to observe Hilda's actions. How can I leave like this?

In order to stay, I bite my lips and whisper to Hilda, "Sorry, I'll ask the chef to make it over."

"What did you say? I didn't hear you. Can you speak louder?" Hilda smiles at me.

She is complacent.

But she is the customer, so she does have the right to be so complacent.

Taking a deep breath, I say loudly, "I'm sorry. I'll have the chef make another steak for you right away."

Hilda smiles with satisfaction and say, "There's no need to redo the steak. Your apology is also meaningless. I lost the appetite to eat in the restaurant now. Pack up these things and send them to my house."

She lets me send the food to her house?

I don't want to set foot in that house again.
