NovelOnlineChapter 367
Inside the private room, a glamorously dressed lady was lounging on the couch surrounded by a few friends, while the waitress Tina was standing not too far away, her head bowed in a conversation with another waitress. Tina said, ‘Mrs. Pearson, I’m really sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.”
But Tina felt wronged. In fact, another lady unintentionally bumped into her arm, causing her to spill the red wine in her hand. The wine, unfortunately, splashed onto Mrs. Pearson’s shoes, a pair worth fifty to sixty thousand dollars, which scared the living daylights out of
Tina.

“Our manager will be here any minute now.”
Mrs. Pearson rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. She had just lost a card game, and now this waitress spilled half a glass of wine on her shoes. She was super pissed off. She had waited half a month for these new shoes, only to have them ruined after two days. It was clear that the waitress couldn’t afford to replace them. How could Mrs. Pearson possibly cheer up?
Just then, Serena knocked and came in. “Sorry, Mrs. Pearson. I got held up, didn’t mean to keep you waiting. Don’t be mad!”
Mrs. Pearson was a regular here, often playing cards with a few friends. Serena knew these ladies but only as acquaintances. In their eyes, Serena was barely a step up from an ordinary waitress.
“Oh, you got held up, huh? What’s so important, Serena? I feel like you’re just blowing me off!” Mrs. Pearson glanced down at her beige lambskin heels. ‘Figure out what to do with these shoes and this careless waitress! Your service at Red Jack Club is going downhill. N6 respect for the rules. You mess up my shoes and then have the audacity to argue!”
Tina kept her head down. “I didn’t, Mrs. Pearson. Can I clean it for you?”
“Clean it? These shoes are ruined once they get wet!” The red wine on these shoes had already made them unwearable.
Tina’s face turned pale with fear. She couldn’t afford to replace a pair of shoes worth fifty to sixty thousand. She could only plead for Serena’s help. But Serena, unlike Sarah, didn’t protect her staff. She coldly stared at Tina. “What are you looking at me for? You messed up Mrs. Pearson’s shoes. You should apologize and compensate her.”
Serena turned to Mrs. Pearson. “Mrs. Pearson, I’ll deal with such a careless employee according to Red Jack Club’s rules. I’m going to fire her right away!”

Mrs. Pearson didn’t plan on making a fuss any longer. “Alright, let’s leave it at that. I don’t want to make this harder for you.”
Serena nodded repeatedly.
But Tina was taken aback and could hardly believe it. “Ms. Serena, you can’t fire me. You know my grandma’s health situation. She needs medication every day. You can’t let me lose my job!” Tina begged, ‘Ms. Serena, I beg you!”
Serena ignored Tina’s plea, and dismissed her, “Tina, you messed up Mrs. Pearson’s shoes. It’s already a huge favor that Mrs. Pearson isn’t asking you to compensate.”
“Mrs. Pearson, please…” Tina hastily said, almost kneeling on the carpet.
Rich ladies like Mrs. Pearson couldn’t understand the pressures and feelings of the lower class. She only cared about her shoes. A waitress’ wage wasn’t much, so of course, Tina couldn’t afford to compensate for a pair of shoes worth fifty to sixty thousand. It was not fair to ruin someone’s life over a pair of shoes. The fifty to sixty thousand wouldn’t really matter to her, but she had waited several days to get these shoes, and they were ruined after only two days, which made her really upset.
“Mrs. Pearson, I didn’t know you were here too.” Leah appeared at the door.
Upon seeing Leah, Mrs. Pearson immediately stood up. “So it’s Mrs. Flanagan.”
