Chapter 503:

Roderick began to say something to Bryan but paused when he noticed only one cup of coffee on the table, positioned in front of Eileen. He quickly turned to Judie and asked, “Why didn’t you get a cup of coffee for Bryan?”

Judie, still upset about Roderick’s unexpected gift to Gabriela, responded curtly, “I was under the impression that Bryan doesn’t like coffee.”

Why should she have to serve Bryan? She knew well that Eileen’s newfound influence had little to do with Bryan. Eileen had achieved her position on her own.

“Enough!” Roderick snapped, giving Judie a disapproving look. He then grabbed a cup, poured coffee, and handed it to Bryan. “Bryan, I heard about your car accident on the news. Are you feeling better now?”

Bryan accepted the coffee with a small nod. “I’ve recovered now.”

“That’s great to hear. With both of your situations improving, and things going well for us, we should all be living happily,” Roderick said with a genuine smile.

His sincere demeanor encouraged Bryan to engage more actively in the conversation. Bryan shared insights on how to attract and retain customers, discussing the increasing trend of ordering takeout. He suggested hiring a part-time delivery worker for the lunch hours and creating a customer group that could order directly at the in-store prices.

Roderick engaged enthusiastically in the conversation, eagerly discussing ideas with Bryan. Meanwhile, Denise sat quietly, eating her meal without speaking to Eileen.

When Eileen excused herself to the restroom, leaving Gabriela with Bryan, Denise quickly followed her.
