Unforgettable Scene in the Restaurant ( Indirect speech)

Group members: Magdalena, Mohammad and Tenzin

I was with my friend in this fine Italian restaurant enjoying our
meal when a couple walked in. They were seated at a table next to
us. In some ways it seemed for some apparent reason, the man was in
sour mood. Accidentally, I overheard their fragments of conversation,
and the man confessed to his wife that he was not satisfied with the
restaurant she picked.

Meanwhile, the wife was enjoying herself and she placed an
order for a wine and the main dish from the menu.  A moment later,
the waiter served them their order and left.  Suddenly, the man
exclaimed to his wife and asked her to look at the fly in his soup.

It was obvious that he got so pissed off and screamed at
the waiter to come to his table immediately. He asked him why he
had not seen the dish before he served it to a guest.

 Then he started insulting him openly and said that he was
a stupid waiter. He demanded that he needs to talk to his manager
right away.

Eventually the wife got so nervous as the man had created an
ugly scene in the restaurant. At that point, she tried to calm him down by
pulling his arm. However, the man had inarguably made a mountain out
of a molehill.

  Nevertheless, the waiter didn't mind the situation at all. In fact, it
seems like as if he had been waiting for an excuse to leave his job.
The waiter told him upfront on his face that he quit his job and advised him
to enjoy his fly soup. Then he took out his apron and left the restaurant.

The wife got so upset and embarrassed because the man
had ruined her dinner and caused such a big commotion in the restaurant.
She got up and walked out on him while the man stood there with a
baffled expression on his face. I wondered if he had even realized the fact
that he had not just ruined her dinner, but ours too.
