The customers watched as Stephen left, and Kyra frozen with her eyes fixed on the door long after Stephen had left. Noticing how all eyes were on her, she quickly went upstairs, "send Max, the head chef upstairs immediately, and you guys, take care of everything here," she said to the waiters.
One of the waiters left to call Max, few minutes after, Max was already at chef Kyra's office.
Max, the head chef, knocked on the door before entering Kyra's office. He found her sitting in a chair, staring blankly at the wall, her eyes red and puffy from crying. He could sense something was wrong the moment he saw her.
"Chef Kyra, what's going on?" he asked, his voice soft with concern, standing a few feet away from her, showing respect for her personal space. "You seem... troubled."
