The excitement at the table was so palpable that some customers even began to smile discreetly.
Julian took out a pen and wrote something in the account before closing the folder.
When Elena opened it seconds later, her eyes widened.
The tip was more than three months’ salary.
The young woman looked up, completely surprised.
Julian simply smiled.
—Consider it a thank you for reminding me of something very important.
“What?” Elena asked.
Julian looked at his mother.
Then he answered in a calm voice.
—That true elegance is not found in luxury restaurants.
He paused briefly.
—It’s in the people who know how to treat others with dignity.
