Emily had quietly worked at the busy downtown restaurant for the past month, following a strict routine and rarely interacting with her colleagues. During a hectic dinner service, a heated moment with a difficult customer became the tipping point. The manager, David, took this opportunity to fire her on the spot, claiming she was bad for business. Emily gathered her belongings in silence, her emotions unreadable, and left without a word. David felt an odd discomfort as she walked out the door, almost as if he had made a grave mistake. The next day, David found himself pale with shock when he discovered who Emily really was.
