The Kiss that Sparked it All

The restaurant manager’s eyes flickered with caution. “That waiter should be in his dorm right now. He told me he wasn’t feeling well, so he took half a day off to rest! What do you need from him?”

Ellinor said, “Regarding the child that got bumed in our private room today, I have a few questions for him.”

The manager frowned, “I want to make it clear that befom you guys arrived, I had a serious talk with our staff! He said the incident of the kid getting burned by hot soup had nothing to do with him. I feel that you shouldn’t drag our waiters into your affairs, after all, they’re just regular folks trying to make a living”

Ellinor smiled and nodded, showing her understanding, “Don’t worry, I just want to ask him a few questions; I won’t put him in a tough spot”

The manager was tom between protecting her employee and not offending her customers. After a moment of thought, she flagged down a waiter who was cleaning up and instructed, “Go get Gavin from the dorm, tell him I need him”

Soon enough, Gavin, the waiter in question, was called over from his dorm by his colleague.

Gavin walked in shyly, “Boss, you called for me?”
