Chapter 402

“Chef Howard, are you alright?” one of the waitresses called out in concern. She was worried the hot coffee might have scalded him.

“I’m fine,” he answered curtly.

Rubbing her eyes, she glanced a second time, but the image did not change. Howard still looked as scary as before.

She shook her head and headed outside, thinking that she must be seeing things!

Taking in a deep breath, Howard decided he had to take action. He could not continue being so passive.
