Tina felt her cheeks get hot with embarrassment. Could she have made a mistake with their order? She was sure she wrote everything down correctly. How would she explain to her boss that she had made a mistake with the restaurant owner’s order? “I am so sorry, Mr. Fortune, I will take this back and bring you the correct order. I truly apologize.” Bill saw Tina bringing a full plate of food back from Mr. Fortune’s table. He smiled to himself. He knew Mr. Fortune was testing Tina. “What seems to be the problem, Tina?” he asked as she approached. “I am so sorry, Bill, I must have written down the wrong order.
