Chapter: 1770
I'll call the manager right away."
The waitress collected the used bin and was about to leave when Tyrone added, “Wait, can you bring a bowl of porridge as soon as possible?"
“Right away, Sir."
Within a few minutes, the manager knocked on the door, entering with an unopened bottle of wine and a glass. Apologetically, he addressed the couple, "Mr. and Mrs. Blakely, I heard about what happened, and I'm terribly sorry. Perhaps the chef didn't cook it well. This bottle of wine is on me. Please allow me to bring you two more dishes. As an apology, your meal today is complimentary on behalf of the restaurant. Is that satisfactory?"
Whenever Tyrone visited the restaurant for a meal or social event in the past, the manager would personally greet him, suggesting a level of familiarity between them.
“I'm afraid that is not enough," Tyrone joked.
"How about more bottles of wine then?"
Sensing the manager's sincerity, Tyrone wasn't overly stern with him.
Glancing at Sabrina, he inquired, "What do you think, Sabrina?"
Recalling the recent incident, Sabrina realized that the mutton didn't appear spoiled. Still, it did have a slightly off-putting odor, indicating that it may not have been cooked properly. She responded, "Let him off the hook."
Tyrone then turned his attention to the manager. “There's your answer."
With a grateful smile, the manager said, "Thank you for your understanding and mercy, Mrs. Blakely."
The manager then ordered his subordinates to bring more bottles of wine.
The manager gazed at Tyrone and quipped, “Well, Mr. and Mrs. Blakely, thanks for letting me off the hook. I'll go to the kitchen to ensure they don't slack off."
Tyrone waved dismissively. "Go ahead. If such a thing happens again, this restaurant will be closed."
“It won't happen again." The manager breathed a sigh of relief as he left the room.
Within moments, the waitress arrived with a soothing bowl of warm porridge, which suited Sabrina's upset stomach.
Sabrina only enjoyed the porridge along with some Light dishes.
Meanwhile, back in the bustling kitchen, the manager sternly asked, "Who was responsible for cooking the mutton today?"
Due to the mutton being the restaurant's specialty, it was handled with great care. Upon its arrival, a designated kitchen staff member promptly cut it into serving sizes and allowed it to marinate until a customer placed an order. At that point, it was ready to be cooked on the spot.
