From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 36

It finally dawned on Mae and Alicia that they had been outwitted by Anthea they had always dismissed as a loser!

"Mae, how much cash did you give her last night?" Alicia asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

Mae frowned and replied, “Around a hundred bucks, I think. What about you?”

Alicia went pale with anger, “I gave her all the cash in my wallet.” She had at least three to four hundred dollars in there! Thinking back, Alicia wished she could slap her foolish past self.

A little while later, Anthea and Lauren came over with the dishes Rebecca and her friends had supposedly ordered. “Careful, folks, here’s your order,” they announced.

Mae was livid. As she glanced at the lobsters and kebabs brought to the table, her lips curled into a sly smile, and she suddenly challenged, “Hold up! We didn’t order any of this. Are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?”

Lauren checked the order sheet and responded, “These are indeed the dishes you ordered.”

Alicia caught on to Mae’s scheme and quickly chimed in, “There are only three of us. How could we eat all this? Clearly, your waitress messed up our order! This isn’t what we wanted!”

Despite its modest size, the rotisserie boasted a full array of seafood, including luxurious items like lobsters and crabs, usually reserved for the occasional splurge. Now, with Mae and Alicia insisting that Anthea had ordered wrong, it was implied that Anthea should foot the bill.

Before making a scene, Mae had made sure they were in a blind spot, out of reach from any surveillance cameras.

Alicia stood up abruptly, fury etched across her face, “Where’s your manager? Call them over! I want to see how they train their staff, serving customers the wrong dishes! This is no service. It’s coercion! I’m calling the cops!”

Lauren, who had never encountered such a situation before in her time at the rotisserie, quickly tried to appease them with a nervous smile, “Please, don’t be upset. The waitress is new here. I’ll get our manager right away.”
