The "Ocean Breeze Biscuits" were suddenly the talk of the town. Sold at every corner store, featured in cooking magazines, and praised by food critics.

She decided to confront the bakery owner, a slick man known for his ruthlessness. With a deep breath, she walked to the bakery. The bell above the door chimed as she entered.

The owner, a sleek man in a tailored suit, was behind the counter, counting cash. He glanced up, his expression instantly hardening. "Can I help you?" he asked, his voice tight. She stood her ground, her voice unwavering. "Those biscuits...they're mine. Or, at least, the recipe is."
