"You," Lucian pointed at the young man. His mana-enhanced voice traveled to the young man's ears, startling him from his daze.
In an instant, the young man's face paled. He nervously gulped as he looked down at the fork in his hand and the piece of poached egg that he had stolen.
'Shit! Shit! Shit!'
'What have I done!?'
The man screamed and berated his unconscious behavior.
*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*
The fragrant and delicious egg yolk, which had not been fully cooked, slid from his fork, and down onto the table. Each time, an audible sound akin to water falling and hitting cement was heard in the silent restaurant.
No one even dared to breathe as they waited for the young man's punishment. Even now, they did not believe Chef Lucian would let the young man go.
