A Farewell After Being Reborn

Two waiters walked into the room, each carrying a tray. The dishes were covered with lids to keep them warm.

Terry watched them serve the dishes and said warmly, “I bet you guys are

starving, Professor Braun. Please dig in! These have been specially prepared for us, so I hope you’ll enjoy them.”

“We’ve served all your dishes. Please enjoy your meal.” The waiter then removed

the lids from the dishes.

Collin and his assistants looked at each other in surprise when they saw the ” cucumber feast” before them. Terry was stunned as well. It took him a moment to realize that everything he had ordered had been replaced with cucumbers.

Terry felt a wave of panic wash over him as he met his boss‘ cold gaze. “What’s going on? I didn’t order these!” he asked the waiter.

The waiter claimed he had no idea what had happened and had simply been told to bring this to them. He hastily brought the manager over.

Ian’s expression darkened when the manager said a woman who claimed to be his wife had gone into the kitchen and changed their order.

Terry breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was a prank pulled by his boss‘ upset wife. He hadn’t made a mistake after all.

Terry apologized to Collin and his assistants before asking the manager to bring

them the dishes they had actually ordered. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though Collin and his assistants were surprised, they guessed that there must have been a reason for the mix–up. Hence, they didn’t blame Terry.

Ian excused himself and walked out into the main hall. His brows knitted

together when he spotted a familiar figure sitting in the corner.

Sage had her hair casually tied up in a loose bun, and she was gnawing on a rib with gusto. Beside her sat Shane. Shane didn’t have as much of an appetite as Sage and was largely absorbed in his phone.

Ian’s expression turned grim as he strode toward them. “Why are the both of you here?”

Sage was inhaling her food when she heard a cold male voice. His familiar voice startled Sage so much that the rib that she had been holding onto her plate. As it did so, a loud clattering sound pierced the air.

Sage forgot all about her food when she noticed Ian’s stern expression. Then, glared at Shane fiercely.

She

So Ian had been his target. He had claimed he was looking into a new project and insisted on dragging her along. He also insisted on having her go to the kitchen to change someone else’s order. He had used her to mess with Ian. She couldn’t believe how childish he was!

Judging from her expression, Ian guessed what was going on. He shot a cold glance at Shane. “Why did you bring my wife here, Mr. Morrison?”

Shane’s eyes widened. “This place is open to the public. We’re just here to eat. Is something the matter?”

“Sure,” Ian scoffed. “I guess you call changing all our dishes to cucumbers that, huh?”

Shane shamelessly continued, “I heard you were interested in Professor Braun’s latest research, Mr. Holcomb. Since I couldn’t get involved, I figured I’d shake things up a bit for you!

“Unfortunately, Professor Braun is so well–mannered. He wasn’t even scared away by your cheap meal,” he said regretfully.

“Also, it was your wife who arranged for the dishes to be changed. So if you’ve got a problem, please take it up with her.” Shane shrugged off the blame without a care in the world.
