Claudia cried herself to sleep after that break up. Kent was a great guy, he really was. For him to do that to her was honestly heartbreaking. Claudia struggled to get up, her eyes and face were puffy, she had a massive migraine that felt like she had a heart up there, pounding.

She stayed quiet as she felt home, taking the train to work to just collect her thoughts and those thoughts lead to Richie, the main reason why. She gets to the beef, shoving her belongings into her locker and does her thing. She wants to be in her own world.

"Hey." Sweeps comes beside her. "How was your date last night?" Claudia doesn't stop cutting onions.

"Can we not? I just wanna get this done, 20 minutes before we open." She shuts down. Sweeps sighs as he sees the red puffiness from her face. She can hear Ebra read the news article of a man that was here, raving about the dish that Sydney made, talking about the food here at the shop.

"Cool. Thats fine." He backs up.

"Yo Claudia, you and your boy toy have fun last night? Or do i have frustrated you again?" Richie comes behind her.

"Leave me alone Richie." She cuts down.

"Im telling you, what I said, better work so i don't get-" Richie leans back.

"Dont." Tina's son Louie comes in and Richie starts talking to him and then Sydney to him. All she wanted was Richie out of her way. Carmy just turned on the To-Go tablet, and it was going crazy. Claudia immediately stops what she was doing and head to the paper of orders on the floor. "Carmen! Fuck me!" She picks up the paper, looking as it keeps printing.

"What?" She shoves the receipts to him. Everyone was now freaking out. What now? Sydney was looking at the tablet, trying to see whats going on. "You left the pre order option open." Claudia's mouth drops.

"What that mean?"

"That means we have 78 slices of chocolate cake, 99 french fries, 54 chickens, 38 salads, and 255 beef sandwiches due in eight minutes." Claudia squats down. Carmy starts yelling at Sydney and Richie who were fighting. "Chef's go to the walk-im, get all the cooked beef, slice it, put it in just. Get it now!" Claudia races to the walk in.

"Yes chef!" The kitchen was insane.

"Claudia, help Richie with fries!" Caludia responded with a yes chef. "No, i want you to cut everything and prepare the veggies." Claudia drops everything and heads to her station. Sydney and Carmy were now yelling.

"Step out. Step out." Carmy tells her. "Get the fuck off my expo chef now!" Claudia's eyes widen as she hears Carmys voice echoed. Claudia gets the potatoes and goes around as Richie yells corner last minute, knocking the fries and potatoes out of their arms.

"Shit." She immediately gets them off the ground. Richie bites his lip, he wants to strangle her.

"You didn't say corner." He mocks her. She looks at him with a serious expression, stare at him dead in the eyes. "You didn't say corner."

"Fuck you Richie." She growls.

"I bet you want that."

"No, i seriously fucking want you out of my way now!"

"You don't need to curse at me like a maniac. Its not my fault that you and lover boy havent gotten any action..."

"Fuck...you..."

"You didn't say corner."

"You are fucking despicable!"

"Don't put your anger out on me sweetheart. Its not my fault, its yours."

"Fuck you Richie!" She kicks the potatoes on the ground.

"Chef you okay?" Tina comes from behind, turning her away from Richie.

"No im not Tina. Get that mother fucker out of my way." She pointed at the man who is still looking at her.

"Claudia!" Carmy yells for her.

"What!" She yells back.

"Prep giardiniera, please."

"Sure." She starts to prep. But soon as she gets to cutting, Richie comes and helps her out. "No, no. What the fuck are you doing here?"

"What does it look like? Im helping you." He takes one of her knives.

"Dont touch that, that is mine." She tries to grab it back.

"What are you talking about? Its just a fucking knife! Let me cut this."

"Get your own knife. This is mine! Let go and go away! I have been doing this longer than you."

"You know, there's something broken in you. Alright? You're being mean and its ugly." Claudia looses it, She laughs.

"Get out of my station!"

"See! A bitch!" He cuts the vegetables. "How can anyone work with you? I mean god you are a loser! No guys want to date you. No wonder that guy left you yesterday. You waste space here. You are a fucking joke here."

"You know nothing about me! You keep my life out of your mouth, do you hear me? You have no clue who i am!"

"Honestly im glad that i dont know you because you seem sooooo dumb and annoying. No wonder Anthony Bourdain couldn't stand you, thats why he died right? You probably drove him crazy." Claudia stops and her mouth drops. Her heart sank.

"How fucking dare you!" She smacks his chest. "You asshole!" Her eyes start to tear up.

"What? Am I right? He just felt so sorry for you."

"Enough! You want to know something Richie? You're the fucking loser! Not me! Im successful! You are not! I made it to the big leagues as you were here doing nothing! You're the loser!" He takes it.

"This is why nobody wants you, you are rude! Obnoxious! Bitchy! This is why you are here, nobody cares about you!"

"Is that why you hate that im here? You finally have someone to call you out? I see you Richie!" She yells right next to him. She doesn't want him here. "Get a life for crying out loud and stop ruining mine!"

"And you know what, i know why you hate me! Because i am the only one who actually sees you! Yeah! Everyone here worships you but I see who you really are, a pathetic little girl who thinks shes perfect."

"Honestly i have no fucking clue on how your ex lived with you because you are so fucking draining! You suck out the life out of everyone! Poor Mikey, he probably-

"Yo!" He stops this as she brings in Mikey. He turns to her, close to her face. She starts laughing as he is all bite now. "Why are you being such a fucking bitch right now?"

"I dont know Richie, you tell me, since you know me so well."

"Bourdain was so happy to have you out of in his life. God I bet you made it so fucking unbearable for him." She grabs a knife. This is the last he will ever bring him up. "What? You gonna fuckin stab me?" He gets in her face, close enough to smell the coffee off her lips.

"Dont fucking tempt me." She waves it in his face.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah!" They crashed their foreheads into each other. Hatred written all over their eyes. Richie wanted to take her over the counter just to shut her up.

"Shut the fuck up!" Carmy comes in and yells at them. Claudia shoves him back.

"Yo, cousin, just fuckin-" Richie tells Carmy to calm down.

"Shut the fuck up!" Just as Richie backs up, Claudia takes her knife and stabs him in the ass. She lets out a gasp as he groans in pain. It felt good she thought. She held that knife close and she laughs. All that stress and anger made her go over the edge.

"Mother fucker!" He turns to her. "You fucking bitch!" He wobbles to the other side. "Not right now. I got stabbed. Son of a fuckin..."

"You!" Claudia looks at Sydney. "I told you not to-"

"I didn't know he was a writer!" Sydney says to her.

"It wasn't on the damn menu, you shouldnt have done it in the first place!"

"Sorry that we aren't as good as you Claudia, some of us are trying to be heard, unlike you." Sydney walks away from her. Claudia stares down at her and Carmy as Sydney finally gets up and quits on the spot. Carmy goes up to Claudia, now that Sydney had quit, now he is putting his anger on her.

"You fucking listen to me! You better fucking do this right!"

"Nah nah!" She waves that knife at him. "Dont fucking yell at me! Dont you ever yell at me again!" She stares him down. "Im not your fucking robot. I do what i can! Yell me once more im leaving like Sydney." She swore. Carmy smacks the tray of food to the floor and walks away.
