The manager glanced from the unhappy server to the fuming Giselle. He then looked at Casper questioningly.

Realization dawned upon him after a moment.

Selecting his words with care, the manager said, “Are you saying that my server spilled the sauce on you? Do you have any proof?”

Casper instantly deduced that the manager was intent on defending his employee.

Giselle’s face grew livid with rage. Sneering, she replied, “Do you have any proof for his accusation of us spilling the sauce on ourselves?”

The manager refused to reply. Instead, he turned to his assistant and asked her to fetch the female server who had collected Casper’s bill.

“Lacey, did you see him spill the sauce on this gentleman?” The manager asked.

Four pairs of eyes instantly fastened their gazes onto Lacey. She instinctively recoiled. Fearing for her employment, Lacey decided to withdraw herself entirely from the affair.

“I don’t know. I was busy at that moment and wasn’t able to keep track of what was going on over here,” Lacey said meekly.

The other server inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.

The manager smiled patronizingly at Casper and Giselle. “If there’s no proof that our server was the one who caused this incident, you can’t blame us for it,” he said smoothly.

During his entire engagement with Casper and Giselle, the manager had been keenly assessing their clothing. He had determined that they were of below-average means and were merely seeking to avoid having to pay their bill.

The manager prided himself in his ability to handle and resolve conflicts that arose within the restaurant. A small matter like this, he privately thought, was beneath his level of expertise.

Casper’s face grew thunderous. His lips had parted, trembling, and he was about to speak when a dainty voice called out from behind him, arresting his speech. “I’ve never seen you so humiliated before!”
