I Was Accused of Poisoning a Couple—Then My Boss Got Involved

My hands trembled as I balanced their plates, fully aware that one more mistake could ignite a scene. I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself as I approached their table. “Is it so hard to get it right?” the girl snapped, her eyes flashing daggers at me. I placed the plates before them, my heart pounding in my chest.

The boyfriend’s mocking laughter echoed through the café, making me feel smaller with each step. Other customers began to watch, their glances sharp and judgmental. Despite the mounting pressure, I forced a smile, hoping to defuse the tension and keep the evening from spiraling further out of control.
