Yet, there was something in her eyes\u2014amusement, perhaps? Or was it something more?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery nice indeed,\u201d Linda said, her voice smooth. \u201cI can see exactly why you hold him in such high regard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simon swallowed hard, his confidence crumbling under her gaze. She knew. She remembered.<\/p>\n<p>Then, turning back to the caf\u00e9 owner, Linda smiled. \u201cYou have a wonderful establishment and such an endearing staff. My husband and I are happy to buy the caf\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal was finalized the next day, and Linda and her husband immediately took charge. They observed the caf\u00e9\u2019s operations, getting to know their employees and understanding how things ran.<\/p>\n<p>When Linda finally sought out Simon, she didn\u2019t need to say much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy husband and I have decided to demote you to a waiter,\u201d she said simply. \u201cThe way you treated me the other night was unacceptable. That\u2019s not how customers should be treated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Humiliated but unwilling to lose his job completely, Simon accepted his fate.
