In the midst of the attentive hush, a gentleman's voice cut through the anticipation, voicing bewilderment at the unanticipated wine delivery. His confusion hung palpably in the air, threatening to unravel the delicate equilibrium of the room. But in this moment of uncertainty, a reassuring voice intervened, casting a lifeline to Georgia's delicate façade.
A fellow diner interjected with an air of familiarity, suggesting that the delivery was sanctioned by the managerial echelons. A collective nod followed, the weight of curiosity shifting toward acceptance. Georgia's pulse steadied as she embodied the role she had claimed, ensuring that her ruse stood unblemished.
The moment breathed life into the charade, her guise validated by the recognition of a guest.

As she neared the door, however, an unexpected interruption emerged. A figure materialized, donned in the club's uniform, his gaze fixed with inquisitiveness upon Georgia. The sudden scrutiny sent a shiver down her spine, her demeanor poised between maintaining her cover and the potential threat of discovery.
The manager's gaze lingered upon her, his expression etched with curiosity. Inquiries, veiled beneath his words, demanded answers to the unspoken question – why had he not encountered her before? The cloak of her pretense wavered momentarily, the tensile thread that bound her to her fictional identity threatening to unravel.
Georgia's response emerged as a careful balance, her voice weaving a tapestry of authenticity and truth. "I'm new here," she confessed, the words issued with a mix of vulnerability and earnestness. Her pulse quickened as she awaited his judgment, her fate seemingly hanging in the balance.
Recognition flickered within the manager's eyes, comprehension dawning as he processed her admission. A sympathetic understanding embraced his countenance, his voice imbued with empathy as he acknowledged, "Ah, that explains it. You're the new hire."
