NovelTrueChapter 1146:
With a thoughtful nod, Brenna took the menu and began scanning it for options. Isabella peeked out cautiously
from the kitchen. Of all people, she hadn't expected to run into Brenna.
It was so humiliating.
The idea of Brenna catching her in such a humble job made her want to vanish. She clung to the hope that
Brenna would eat quickly and leave.
Out in the dining area, waiters and waitresses rushed around as orders piled up. Isabella was the only one who
was not working.
The manager noticed and said sharply, “Why are you not working? Can't you see everyone is drowning in work?
If you do not want to work, you can resign right now!”
Cornered, Isabella said in a pleading voice, “Please, sir. Someone | know is here. Can | stay in the back and do
something else instead for now? I'm begging you.”
Frustration simmered in the manager's eyes. With the dining room nearly at capacity, waiters rushed back and
forth, darting between the kitchen and the dining area. He wished he could split himself in two just to help them.
His finger jabbed toward the dining area.
“Just look—this is our busiest hour! We pride ourselves on providing an exclusive dining experience, and our
customers are exacting. Flawless service is non-negotiable. You are new here and already not cooperating? Like |

Isabella got the message loud and clear. She treasured this job—waitressing was exhausting, sure, but the pay
was decent, and every shift brought her into contact with the city’s wealthy elite. Money wasn’t her only
motivation; she was here hoping to meet the right man.
She was well aware of her own charms, confident that sooner or later, someone important would become
interested in her.
Nervously, Isabella pointed to Brenna’s table. “Sir, see those three? The pretty woman is a relative of mine. My
family used to have money, and I'd rather she not find out I'm working here, I'm begging you...”
“No exceptions,” the manager snapped. “Either get to work or resign. Plenty of people would jump at your job.
This is peak time, and you're making things difficult for me. How am | supposed to run a place with someone like
you as an employee?” His patience was at its end.
Tears stung Isabella’s eyes. She'd always looked down on Brenna, and the thought of Brenna seeing her like this
was mortifying.

“Get a move on!” the manager shouted again. “Can’t you see the restaurant is packed? More customers just
walked in. Go serve the group that just arrived.” Isabella’s stomach dropped as she recognized the new
customers: Rosie, Tina, and Judy. Her thoughts scrambled. Just two weeks ago, she and Rosie had had a fallout
when she had refused to date an older, wealthy man Rosie had picked out for her. Outraged, Rosie had taken
back everything she had given her, including previous payments, her apartment, and monthly allowances. Even
Mack had felt the consequences, losing his perks and his spot at the company.

Now, Rosie certainly despised her.
