Chapter 7 - Adrian Reveals Why Sophia Worked Tonight
Vanessa made one final mistake.
She sneered:
“If your husband owns this place, why are you dressed like staff?”
Sophia looked at Adrian.
Then answered herself.
“Because I wanted to be.”
The restaurant had opened six months earlier.
Sophia co-owned it with Adrian.
She worked one floor shift every month.
Not for publicity.
Because she had started her career as a server and refused to build a
restaurant she never experienced from the employees’ side.
Adrian never announced she was his wife unless she chose to.
That night, Sophia had taken the rooftop section because two servers
called out sick.
Vanessa had seen the uniform and assumed it made the trap easier.
Sophia looked at her.
“You thought being a waitress made me easy to humiliate.”
Vanessa crossed her arms.
“It made you believable.”
“No.”
Sophia’s voice remained calm.
“It made you careless.”
Around them, restaurant employees watched.
Not one looked ashamed of Sophia.
Vanessa finally understood the status she had mocked did not belong to
May you like
Sophia alone.
She had insulted everyone who worked in the room.
