Chapter 46: Chapter 46

　　Eve brought the food back to the service counter and mumbled an apology.

　　"That's the fourth table, Eve," the chef, Andy, said with a frown as he pulled the plates towards him to throw the food away.

　　He looked pissed off, and he was right to be. She'd wasted his time and the restaurant's money and she was only just starting the teatime rush.

　　"I'm sorry," she said again. "I'll pay for it."

　　She couldn't afford to pay for the wasted meals from all those tables, especially when she needed money to cover the shift her mother had lost, but she didn't want to risk her job.

　　"Maybe take a break instead. Have a coffee or something to wake yourself up," Andy said gruffly.

　　"Thanks," she whispered gratefully before she walked to the back staff room.

　　She didn't like this job, she would have much rather have been doing her nursing, but she still took pride in everything she did. She had never taken food to the wrong tables before.
