"Get up," Yun huffed out a breath, his shoulders lifting and falling, "and get out!"
"That's not very nice," Daryl leaned forward and propped his chin on his hands, "I'm hungry and this diner looks nice."
"This diner is off limits to you."
"I thought the customer," Daryl's smile was back, stretching across his lips, "was always right."
"You're not a customer," Yun's voice had hardened. "The judge said you have to stay away from Seaton."
Seaton heard chairs moving and turned her head.
Chloe was asking the customers that she'd just served coffee to get up.
The two men looked a little put out, but they got up and walked out through the kitchen.
The other couple, who were nearly done with their meals, just stood up and started to walk.
Seaton's heart squeezed in her chest when she heard Chloe assure the couple that their meals were 'on the house,' thanking them for understanding.
This had to look horrible to those customers.
No one wanted to go to a business where disruptions like this happened.
Seaton knew that if she had been one of those diners, she'd think twice about coming back to eat in a place where the cook just came out into the dining room wielding a cleaver.
Yun might have to second guess having her work there if Daryl was going to pull stuff like this.
Chloe stepped up beside Yun and murmured to him near his ear.
"I called 911. They said they're sending someone right over."
Seaton didn't know how to feel about that.
She was glad they were sending someone over, but she didn't want to be the reason it had to happen.
Yun nodded and turned his head back toward the kitchen. "Take Seaton and go outside."
"No."
Seaton cringed at the way her voice sounded in her ears. It sounded harsh and pained, a good translation of her feelings.
"I'm not leaving you here with him."
She knew Yun would argue with her.
He was a father in more ways than one.
He was a kind and generous boss, but he did treat all of the workers at the diner as family.
Something she was extremely grateful for, because how Yun treated family was completely different from how her mother had treated her and certainly different from how Daryl had treated her.
Yun's kind of family was more like a sweet G-rated film version of family where people actually cared for each other.
Something like the episodes of Happy Days that she'd seen on an old cable channel.
He was more of a father to her than her mother had been a mother.
For that she was grateful, but she was also worried that the trouble that she was causing him might be the kind that would cause him to second guess having her as an employee and as a friend.
