I dressed like a homeless man and walked into my own restaurant to see how my employees treated people who couldn’t afford a decent meal. I expected some unfriendly attitudes and perhaps a few rude remarks. Instead, I uncovered something so alarming that I eventually had to contact the police

“I know. But today, let me take care of it.”

“Why?”

She smiled softly.

“Someone once helped me when I needed it. I’m just returning the kindness.”

Then she refilled my coffee and walked away.

I sat beside the window fighting back tears.

My mother’s words returned to me.

Someone has to care. Today, that someone is me.

Only now, it was Josie.

And she had no idea who I was.

Then the kitchen door swung open.

Trevor appeared.

His expensive blue shirt was neatly pressed, and a gold watch shone on his wrist.

Brittany followed him, pointing toward my table.

“What is going on here?” Trevor demanded.

Josie stepped forward.

“I seated him. He’s just having lunch.”

Trevor looked at me with obvious irritation.

“Is he paying?”

“I’m covering his meal.”

He laughed sarcastically.

“This is a business, Josie. Not a charity.”

“It’s only one bowl of soup.”
