Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 65

"See if there's anything you like." Colby handed the menu to Sophie.

Sophie glanced at it casually, "Let's get everything Adler mentioned just now."

Colby heard this and gave a slight smile.

Adler, sitting next to them, blurted out, "I told you, Colby's choices are always spot-on. All those are your favorites, Ms. Sophie."

Sophie looked at Colby, puzzled, but he seemed to have no intention of explaining.

"I'm sorry, sir, the kitchen just informed us that the crab is out. We can replace it with another dish of the same price for you," the waiter said cautiously, careful not to upset Colby.

Adler frowned, "What's going on? I had reserved in advance, how can that dish be sold out?"

He was adept at managing such gatherings and had never encountered any mishaps under his watch.

"I'm really sorry, but another table had reserved the crab first due to a mistake in our kitchen's tally. We can offer you two complimentary dishes instead. Please accept our apologies, sir."

"Is this about compensation? Which table reserved it? I'll go talk to them."

Adler was about to stand up, so Sophie said, "Let it go. I don't necessarily have to have that crab, and I don't even like seafood."

Originally, she had only liked the crab because James was fond of it. In fact, she really disliked the taste of seafood.

"That's exactly why Colby specially ordered it because he knew you disliked the fishy taste of seafood. But they make it so good here. This is so frustrating!"

Adler looked quite upset.

Sophie casually told the waiter, "Replace it with the lobster then."

"Right away, I'll have the kitchen prepare it."

Sophie rested her chin on her hand and looked at Adler, saying, "Lobster's more reliable than ordinary crab, right?"
