“Madam, what you just said isn’t right. Are you looking down on us dishwashers? We also make a living with our hands. If your daughter is so talented, why would she come to our little restaurant?” Felicity Doughty spoke up.
In my past life, she didn’t think much of Heidi either. She was the first one to tell me that Heidi had been sneaky in the kitchen.
Before I arrived, Beth had already been using her status to boss everyone around in the
kitchen.
The staff didn’t dare say much, considering her position.
Now, seeing me, the owner, being disrespected in front of Beth, they became even more
nervous.
They feared I would agree and let Heidi join as a spoiled young lady.
Felicity’s words were like a bombshell, causing the entire kitchen to erupt.
“Exactly. You’re clearly looking down on those of us who work in the kitchen. So, why are you
here?”
“Yeah. I’m a university graduate too. I work in the kitchen. What’s your problem with that?”
Beth saw that I let them speak freely and grew angrier.
She shot me a glare.
I was very familiar with that look.
Ever since I married into the family, whenever Beth was even a little displeased, she would
give me that look.
In the past, when I saw that look, I would wonder what I did wrong and then lower myself to
make her happy.
But now, if I did that, I’d be a fool.
I reasoned, “Look, work is like this. If I make special exceptions for you, it wouldn’t be fair to
the others. If you’re okay with being treated like everyone else, then you can stay. If not, go find
another job. It’s almost Christmas, so you might as well rest at home.”
I finished speaking and turned to leave.
But I was sure Heidi would stay.
Sure enough, as soon as I finished, she eagerly spoke up. “Of course, Wanda, I mean, boss. I
came here to work just like everyone else. You can trust me. I won’t let down.”

Beth surprisingly didn’t say anything.
I smiled, then called everyone over.
I said, “As you all heard, from today on, there will be one more person in the kitchen. Although she’s my husband’s sister, here, everyone is equal. Felicity, please show her the ropes for the
few days. Once she’s familiar, she can work on her own.”
I gave Felicity a look.
She had been with me since I opened the restaurant.

When she nodded at me, I felt more at ease.
With my order, no one else paid special attention to Heidi.
They scattered, returning to their tasks.
I also tidied up and prepared to organize my office.
Although my staff no longer needed to worry about Heidi’s status, people always had
complicated feelings.
They would likely think about my relationship with Heidi and tolerate her a little more. They couldn’t risk offending her and causing her to tell me about them.

I wondered, “So, why did she suddenly want to come work here? Is there something in the
kitchen?“.
I knew Heidi couldn’t even wash dishes at home. There was no way she would be willing to
work in the kitchen.
There had to be something I didn’t know.
