"..the vow we made years ago and we'll continue to hold to it: Rosarios will always be loyal, our customers who became family from the moment they dined here with us, you will always be our priority. Even when we lag behind compared to others, we will never let greed pollute our good values", he was all smiles when he said this and his wife noticed a shift in the atmosphere due to his words. That definitely got the people's attention. Enrique raised his glass, she followed along with the boys and the guests did too. "To food that tastes like home and to a brighter future with the generations to come."
"Here here!" She shouted.
"Here here!" Everyone responded before they applauded.
"We have a problem", she whispered to him as soon as he sat down.
"What's wrong?" He whispered back, plastering a fake smile on his face.
On cue, the waiters and waitresses came out offer the evening's menu to the guests. They had created one full the Rosario's specials from over the years and so the guests could choose and be served.
While Mrs. Rosario showed her husband her phone, the food was first served on their table as it had been communicated beforehand before the guests were served their choice.
Enrique looked at the messages exchanged with a frown and looked up the articles spreading like wild fire. The comments were just as malicious as the conversation ongoing around them.
ID Stewiexxx: Shut them down!
ID Ned xxx: Bunch of pretentious people! How desperate were they?
ID Thechillfella: This is the only time I'm glad I'm too poor to afford a plate at that restaurant, poverty actually saved my life!
There were a lot of likes and laughing emojis under that comment. Some people felt the restaurant was ridiculously expensive. Those who felt resentment towards it now had the chance to vent their frustrations.
ID Fionaxxx: What is the FDA doing?! Shut Trivedi down immediately!
ID Miss organicxxx: I'm going to the hospital to get tested. Any sign of chemicals in my body and I will be suing them. These things actually cause cancer!
ID OPxx: Oh my gosh! I hear the FDA are actually going there! Xxxx news is reporting it!
The Rosario couple froze in their seats, looking deathly pale at the new and fast development. This was spinning out of their control! The reporter they were in cahoots with bombarded them with texts cursing them out for deceiving him. But their focus remained on the new development, following along. They were so immersed they easily missed someone saying:
"This food tastes funny."
