“That’s right.”
Enele couldn’t help but retort, “Why did you take this path to fin’s Comer then? Are you hoping to reach the restaurant by going in circles because the Earth is round?

“Did you do that on purpose?
Emelle looked back at him with confused eyes. “Do what?”
Willum squinted and glared at the seemingly clueless look on her face. He let her go after a fer seconds and snapped, “Walk properly”
“It’s your fault for taking the wrong path. You have no right to get mad. Didn’t you bring your clients here for a meal before?
As William was a picky eater, there were only a few restaurants that he deemed decent. Fier’s Comer was one of the few, so he often frequented the restaurant Yet, he had still managed to mess up the directions.
William responded, “I don’t pay attention since I’m usually in the car

Emelie did in told.
These am Lacy, but just to be sure, let’s ask jamie.”
William nodded
After calling for Jamie, Emelie inquired about the dishes that contained chill peppers. According to Jamie, chik propers were only added to the pork ribs when marinated and not the other dishes.
Jamie was visibly panicking “M. Middleton, do you et chill peppers?
