When he returned to the entrance of Seawise Pavilion, he was surprised to see several men already waiting outside. They were dressed just like him–sharp suits, earpieces, stiff posture. Bodyguards, no doubt.

And from the way they glanced at one another, there was a silent understanding: same profession, same reason for being here.

Meanwhile, inside the restaurant, no one knew yet that Seawise Pavilion had just gone viral across the entire internet–and not in the way anyone would’ve hoped.

The first to find out was a staff member named Emery.

She had just clocked out and was grabbing lunch at the restaurant next door when her phone started pinging. Her friends were tagging her in a group chat.

“Emery, your dessert shop is trending! Go look!”

Emery smiled, unsurprised. She tapped away at her phone with a fork in hand.

“Figured. Tons of people filmed videos here yesterday. Boss even said we’re getting bonuses this month!”

She was happily sharing the good news when a new message popped up–and froze her mid–chew.

“No, not that. You’re trending… but not in a good way. Just check it. It’s bad.”

Her stomach tightened. She opened X. And the top trending topic was “Seawise Pavilion 3,000 dollars”

The moment she saw the number, her gut told her exactly what had happened.

She clicked the post. Sure enough–someone was dragging them for selling a single dessert for 3,000 dollars.

The post was from a food blogger with nearly a million followers. A verified content creator. Emery had even watched a few of his reviews before. This time, though, his post was pure poison.

He claimed Seawise Pavilion’s desserts were overpriced, overrated, and–to add insult to injury–tasteless.

Emery stared at the long caption, brimming with smugness and misinformation, until she was shaking with rage. The fork in her hand snapped in two.

Say the price is high? Fine. That’s fair game.

But to say the food isn’t even good? That was slander.
