After Being Mistaken for a Waiter

chapter 1

On the plane, my assistant suggested, "Mr. Lynch, tonight is your father's birthday. How about surprising him by dressing up as a waiter to deliver his birthday cake?"

I said, "Sure, lets make my dad happy."

Right after getting off the plane, I went with my assistant to a popular restaurant owned by my company.

With a few of my innovations, this restaurant has topped the dining charts for three consecutive years. Countless influencers and celebrities come to visit, and business is booming.

As soon as I changed into the waiters uniform at the restaurant and was about to rehearse, I suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance. Turning around, I saw a group of young people laughing and chatting as they walked in.

"This really is the city's top restaurant, it looks so luxurious!"

"Yeah, thanks to Mr. Warren treating us, we got the chance to come to such a high-end place."

"Come on, he's not treating us, it's clearly all for Diana."

Hearing the name "Diana," I was momentarily stunned. That was my ex-girlfriend's name.

Then, I suddenly turned around, instinctively looking toward the crowd, and unconsciously called out her name.

The crowd paused and quickly looked my way. Sure enough, standing right in the center was my ex-girlfriend, Diana.

And the one called "Mr. Warren" was none other than Nathan, who used to oppose me in everything back then.

I felt a bit emotional; after all, it had been three years since I last saw her.

I was about to step forward to say hello when Nathan blocked Diana. "Isn't this Bradley Lynch, the guy who was always top of the class back then? Why are you working as a waiter now?"

He stared at my waiter uniform with a face full of disdain.

I quietly looked at him. Back in school, Nathan always targeted me because he was jealous of my good grades and good looks.

Three years after graduation, he still hasn't changed and continues to target me everywhere.

I sighed helplessly, "I'm not a waiter, this restaurant is..."

Nathan interrupted me, "Why won't you admit it? Do you also think it's embarrassing?"

He deliberately interrupted me in front of Diana, and his mocking tone made the other classmates present laugh at me as well.

I didn't expect this group to still be so childish after all this time since graduation.

I took a deep breath and explained, "You misunderstood, Nathan. I'm not a waiter, I'm just wearing the uniform temporarily."

I thought I had explained clearly, but laughter erupted from the crowd.

Diana's friend Ruby Reed stepped forward, pushed me aside, and mocked, "You're such a good actor, huh? Temporarily wearing a waiter's uniform?"

"You're clearly just scared to admit how miserable you are now because Diana's here, right? After all, when she dumped you back then, you begged downstairs for three days!"

Hearing Ruby's words, I instinctively looked at Diana.

She glared at me with disgust, then affectionately linked arms with Nathan.

She said, "Bradley, youre not planning to cling to me again, are you?"

"Stop dreaming, Nathan is my boyfriend now."
