Idle Arm Panther

Me disponía a irme del restaurante de mi hermano cuando la gerente me detuvo. —Señorita, no ha pagado su cuenta todavía. Al ver su cara desconocida, pensé: "Debe ser nueva y no me conoce". Así que me expliqué con calma: —Cárgalo a la cuenta del señor Blanco. Él ya sabe. La gerente me lanzó una mirada llena de desprecio. —Señorita, somos un Tres Estrellas Michelin. Aquí no cargamos cuentas a nadie —dijo, entregándome la cuenta impresa. Bajé la mirada y la revisé: cincuenta mil dólares por una comida. Incluía: "Mantenimiento de vajilla brillante: tres mil. Purificación de aire exclusiva: cinco mil. Servicio de manejo emocional para VIPs: diez mil". Y montones de conceptos absurdos más. No sabía que mi hermano hubiera abierto un lugar tan estafador. Solté una risa sarcástica. —Soy la hermana del señor Blanco. Si hay algún problema, que me hable en la casa. Pero ella no se dio por vencida. —¿Ahora no puede pagar y se hace la emparentada? ¿Y hasta se inventa ser familia del señor Blanco? Envié un mensaje de texto a mi asistente: "Dile a mi hermano que o despide a esta mujer ahora mismo, o retiro toda mi inversión".
