Mark had always dreamed of starting his own restaurant. After months of planning and preparation, the big day finally arrived.
However, as he stood outside the restaurant, he began to get cold feet. "What if no one likes my food?" he thought. Just then, his friend Lisa came over and saw the worried look on his face.
"Mark, you’ve been planning this for so long. It’s going to be great!" she reassured him. With renewed confidence, Mark decided to put his foot down and open the doors.
The evening started well, with customers streaming in. Mark, however, was a bit too excited and put his foot in his mouth when he accidentally insulted a customer by mispronouncing their name. He quickly apologized, feeling embarrassed.
As the night went on, the restaurant was buzzing with activity. At the end of the evening, Mark was ecstatic but also nervous about the expenses. Lisa, seeing his concern, offered to foot the bill for the night’s expenses, knowing how much this meant to him.
