After the whole social media scandal, the restaurant was in the eye of the storm for being a public place. Some fans of Imogen's ex-faince and well known movie star, Jack Freedman, as well as just curious people would stop by to snoop around and see if they could get a glimpse of Theo. Luckily, there wasn't any animosity and no one was making any trouble. It did mean that the place needed extra hands with the demand. As much as Theo hated to leave Imogen alone at home, especially after all of this, they were very needed at the restaurant, at least for production at the beginning of the day.
Truth be told, it wasn't the worst that Theo was needed at work at a time like this because at least it allow them to get their mind off of thigs. It was in the kitchen with their hands fully in dough that the host found them to let them know: 'Chef, Imogen is here.' With everything going on, it surprised them that she'd show up at the restaurant so they quickly made Max send her in, trying to get their hands clean off of dough. "Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" They asked coming to meet her half way in the middle of the kitchen. Service hadn't started yet so the restaurant was still empty of patrons.
