I was having dinner when suddenly, my husband and my best friend both disappeared. After searching for a while, glowing text—like a livestream chat—floated before my eyes: [Omg, thank god the Male Lead grabbed the Female Lead and hid in the walk-in freezer! If the Supporting Female Lead saw them, it would be over!] [But they're naked! They can't hide in there forever, they'll freeze to death!] I froze. So my husband was hugging my best friend in a freezer, and I was the "Supporting Female Lead"? I walked toward the freezer door, but the owner blocked me. "That's our ingredients freezer, customers only!" The chat panicked too! [Wow, thank god the FL's bestie blocked the SFL, or they'd be caught.] [It's fine, it's fine. As long as the SFL leaves, they can come out!] The words "freeze to death" flashed in my mind. I changed my strategy. "I want to change tables. I'm sitting right here." The owner and the chat were dumbfounded. "What? Sit here?" [WTF, what is the SFL doing? If she sits in the main hall, how can our leads get out!] 1 I tore my eyes away from the floating text, suppressing a cold sneer. Everyone’s surprised? Then I better eat well, and eat slowly. Otherwise, I’d be letting down the two people hugging in the freezer. The owner was named Bella. I’d been here a few times, so we were acquaintances. But I didn't know she was even closer with my "best friend," Chloe. Close enough to be co-conspirators. Now, to cover for Chloe and my husband, David, she was blocking the freezer door. I looked at her coldly. "Is there a problem, Bella?" "The private room is stuffy. I want to sit in the hall. And I want to order more food. A grilled fish, and other dishes." "I was holding back inside. Now I can eat freely." "Besides the fish, I want two cases of beer, spicy chicken wings, 100 lamb skewers, 20 chicken legs, 50 oysters..." Bella looked confused for a second. Hearing the huge order, she instinctively picked up her pad to write it down. While she was writing, I called my friends in the private room. "Guys, come out! We're switching tables. I ordered a feast and booze!" "Bring my bag and coat." My friends on the phone started cheering. "Damn, Sarah! Ordering more? Are we drinking till dawn?" "Seriously, I thought we were wrapping up. Didn't expect Sarah to go hard just because she stepped out. If we don't eat, we're disrespecting her!" "Let's go, let's go!" When they came out and sat down, I laughed loudly. "Eat! Nobody goes home until we're stuffed!" 2 Bella was stunned. Holding the menu, she didn't know whether to kick us out or tell the kitchen to start cooking. She looked worriedly at the freezer door, hesitated for a few seconds, then tried to make us leave. "I just remembered, we're out of ingredients for these dishes. Can't make them. You guys should go." The chat reacted and praised Bella desperately: [The FL's bestie is the real MVP! Giving up money to save her friend!] [That order was at least a grand. Bella is loyal!] [This SFL is so vicious. She wants to freeze our leads to death! Hmph, dream on!] [If the SFL and her friends don't leave, it's actually dangerous. That freezer is -5 degrees. They're naked. They won't last an hour.] [Sob, what to do? I want to rush in and kick them out!] Bella wished she could too. She wanted us gone now. But we had already moved the unfinished dishes from the private room to the new table. My friend Mike, mouth full of food, snapped at Bella: "Bella, that's not cool. We haven't even finished our food, and you're kicking us out?" "Plus, we're ordering more. You're running a business, you have no reason to drive us away, right?" Panic flashed across Bella's face. "Don't misunderstand. I'm not kicking you out. We really are out of ingredients." I stood up and looked at the display fridges behind her. Rows of ingredients were neatly stacked. Fully stocked. "Bella, the food we ordered is right there in the glass case. How can you be out?" "Hurry up and serve us. I have more people coming. We'll probably order even more." Bella froze. "What? More people?" I waved my phone and smiled. "Yeah. I called my mother-in-law and her bridge club friends." "They love your food. They're big gossips. Treat them well, and they'll give your restaurant free publicity." 3 Bella turned to stone. So did the chat. [WTF! What is the SFL doing! Why call the ML's mom? This is a death sentence!] [Even though the ML's mom likes the FL, if she sees her son cheating and gets embarrassed in front of her friends, she'll never agree to them being together!] [Exactly! She told the ML that the FL is way better than the SFL, but if they get caught now, that image is ruined!] [You guys are thinking about that? If the SFL doesn't leave, our leads will freeze to death! Look, they're shivering, there's frost on their faces!] [Yeah, so pitiful. What do we do? I'm dying of anxiety.] [Don't worry. The FL's bestie will solve it.] I laughed internally. Really? Bella can solve this? Then I'll watch and see how she solves it. Bella finally snapped out of it. Since the "out of stock" excuse failed, she tried another. "The kitchen just told me the gas is out. Can't cook. If you want to eat, go somewhere else." Anger rose in my chest. I rushed to the kitchen door. The chefs were cooking furiously, flames high. Just then, the restaurant's speaker announced: "New DoorDash order received." I sneered. "Bella, you're acting really weird today. Why are you desperate to kick us out?" "Do you have some dirty secret?" "Your kitchen is busy, and there are spare gas tanks right there. This isn't a roadside stall; you don't just 'run out' of gas." "If you don't explain clearly today, we're not leaving. I recorded a video. I'll post it online and let the internet judge!" 4 Bella nearly fainted from anger. The chat was full of angry emojis. [Damn it, I want to slap this SFL!] [Why is she arguing with the FL's bestie? Our FL is so cold she can't speak. If the ML wasn't hugging her tight, she'd have passed out!] [It's okay. If they survive this, this life-and-death experience will make their love invincible.] Really? Invincible love? Sorry, I won't let that happen. My friends started shouting about reporting Bella to the Better Business Bureau. Bella had no choice but to take the order to the kitchen. Watching her reluctant back, I felt a thrill of revenge. But it came with pain and rage. I treated Chloe well. I got her a job at David's company when she was unemployed. She had nowhere to live, so I made David rent her a studio apartment. I included her in everything fun. And this? This is how she repays me! But it takes two to tango. David is scum too. Rabbits don't eat the grass around their burrow, but he not only ate it, he dared to do something this thrilling right under my nose, with all our friends present. Since they want a thrill, I'll give them enough thrill. Today, I'll block them in there and see if they have the luck to walk out alive! "Sarah, you're amazing. Spending my son's money on food and drinks behind my back again? And bringing so many people!" A voice full of anger interrupted my thoughts. I turned around. My mother-in-law, Karen, arrived with her two sisters. Three women with permed hair and heavy makeup, thinking they were high society. But in reality, the Sterling family was barely middle-class in this city. Not worth a second look. Yet, Karen despised me, thinking I wasn't good enough for David. After all, my family was just... normal. She always said I was spending David's money. If another woman were his wife, she wouldn't say that. Earlier, she didn't want to come. When I mentioned a feast, she ran over. Said she wanted to eat back her son's money. Ignoring her anger, I welcomed her with a smile. "Mom, Auntie Linda, Auntie Sue! Come sit!" "It's not just my friends. David is here too. He just stepped out for a bit."
