I looked at the aftermath of the people eating my fish while holding my own plate of it with mixed feelings.
I didn't even notice when Ries had slipped in and taken her own plate of it but she had joined Amber, Lea and Mara over in the corner to nibble on the fish.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say 'nibble' because that's literally what they were doing. They were literally taking small bites out of the fish they were holding in their hands. It's almost like they were handling something precious in their hands and didn't dare to hold it too hard in case it broke.
Then there's Steiner who has been sitting in the corner of the room while hugging his knees ever since he finished the fish I made.
I would also just like to say that I made one extra piece so the other chefs and the manager could share as well but Steiner was completely against the idea and stopped that from happening.
