Shanaya:
Life is like a crumble cake.
He he you must be wondering why am I describing my life as crumble cake .
Well I am pattisier and I observe things just like I observe desserts and guess what it works I love to do so.
My desserts are never disappointing be it, mousse cake, lemon tart and yeah my personal favorite brownie.
I have been working as a pattisier in my mother's cafe, she has passed away an year ago but handed over the legacy to bring happiness with the help of my desserts.
I am not praising myself but people say I cook great food.
Yeah I am in love with desserts.
I have a dream of being one of the best pattisier in the world.
Besides I have a secret crush on one of the best chef of the country, my childhood friend Azeil, I know he is kind hearted I had met him in his restaurant once, he even offered me a job but I refused because I have to run this cafe..
I am working on a new dish, a pineapple tart with lemon mousse and pista crumbles, well I am okay with the taste but I have a doubt on its texture.
What if people dislike it.? ?Okay whatever it is I have to introduce it to my customers and getting suitable feedback so that I can work on dish's betterment.
Emir:
"Saute broccoli on my counter. "
I instructed my subordinate commis chef to to make the vegetables available.
can't believe those critics are arriving today and these fools are not yet ready.
Yeah I have added a new dish to the menu, the famous yellow chilly restaurant has given it's best ,be it in dessert or savoury dishes but I am kinda nervous whether they are gonna like it or not.
As soon as I added red wine in it , it's aroma filled the whole room.
This is my dad's recipe, I had always followed his footsteps and here I am the youngest sous chef.
They say I am arrogant, but this achievement is not kid's play.
Azeil has always supported me, and I am never gonna disappoint him for sure. after all he has faith on me.
I added a proportionate mixture of basil, oregano, Rosemary and thyme and hell yeah this is what I expected for, now I am confident enough to present this dish in front of them
"Here is your broccoli sir" she placed a plate in front of me having a flirting gaze on me. I hate these kind of annoying chef, I keep ignoring those gazes, I just want to focus on what I am doing.
" Emir they will be here in any time"
" Yes chef "
I respect him, he is the executive chef you can say the head to prepare the dish, my rank( sous chef ) is one lower than him and he encourages me to prepare and experiment.
After placing the freshly cut cherry tomatoes on the top, I added a bit of Italian seasoning to bring out the wow flavor in it.
I tasted it and I think the taste, texture and color are balanced, I placed it in plain white colored plate to bring out the beauty of dish.
dad always said, the customer initially eats through his eyes(look of the dish) then nose( smell) and then finally tastes it. so to be a great chef you have to work on all three perspectives.
Finally they tasted it, aboyeur( waiter) served it and through their expressions looks like they are delighted.
" Congratulations Emir they have liked the dish and guess what dad's recipe worked again "
I hugged Azeil, he is more than happy, I am also happy since he is again succeeded to make dad's dream come true.
I congratulated executive chef and my subordinates for the success.
Azeil:
"Sir we were this close for the project but.... "he paused a bit.
"Butt what, are you mad, do i pay you to bring out those silly excuses haan.. "
I barked.
I was boiling in anger, I just can't believe they are halting the project due to some insignificant cause.
" Sir ctually there is a cafe over that area, we have talked about this to the owner but she didn't agree even after we offered her a huge amount "
" What a small cafe, ok James I am giving you 24 hours to get that plot for me otherwise you are fired, by hook or by crook just get that thing for me. "
I just want that land, that is gonna be a significant place for my dream project.
I am currently the CEO of most popular chain of restaurants, every body had heard about it. "the yellow chilly" restaurants.
I still remember when me, Emir and Zach ( my brothers) were young dad used to cook for us.
Mom left us at small age ( she expired) , I haven't seen her face but dad told us she was beautiful.
Dad used to cook for us, he established a small restaurant in India named as " Son's" yeah he named it after us.
He struggled a lot to educate us, yeah we were not at this state when we were young, he used to cook in his restaurant , he worked really hard.
That's why I am here to make his soul proud, wherever he is I know he will be happy to see his restaurant chain mounting in these heights.
Emir has become really cold and arrogant after dad's departure, he made himself busy in work so that he does not get reminded of dad. Whatever he shows to the world but deep down I know he loves dad, and is the most emotional person of the family.
I am not that cold but yeah when it comes to my business I am really rude.
Zach is still immature and always having childish behavior yet, me and Emir don't mind it and cheer it.
Hey guys this is my very first story on goodnovel,please support and drop your reviews so that I can rectify the flaws if any.

"one caramel pudding plz"another order is there, so soon.Nowadays there are lot more customers and visitors in my cafe.
shanaya:It's been a week since I launched the new recipe over the cafe and guess what they had been appreciating it well."hey Shan?? " and there she is....my best friend Amara...Well we had been best friends, I don't remember since when... she has a bubbly nature which makes everyone love her...She had been my backbone when mom passed away.. at that time i was shattered, I never even imagined in my dreams I'll be able to move on so easily without her. it's not that i hadn't been in remorse but Amara's motivation always kept me up to make experimentation with my dishes..Well initially, I was not a fan of experimenting in food.. I liked it in conventional style.. but she only asked me to do so when I talked to her about my bizarre ideas, she encouraged me that I wasn't manipulating a dish rather I was making it better.. and my confidence was boosted to another level my my customers too liked it as I served them..M
Shanaya:."you can't yell over someone, besides I already mentioned the dish is still on preparation!! " I said to that man.. he was clinging a mask over his face.. looks like he is some goon or something.. I rolled my eyes..Well I believe we should equally respect the CEO as janitor.. but whoever this man is he surely doesn't know how to put his ego beside..I was roaming my eyes to the customers as whole of the eyes we're concentrated over us as if some circus was going on in here..I sighed a bit and then looked at this person, people surely don't know how to be respectful towards others.As I was busy ruffling my eyes over my surrounding, he removed his mask.. and I would be lying if I say I didn't like his looks..Damn.. he is.. breathtaking substantial I must say.. he looks familiar, have I seen him on TV, no way Shan.. you are being a paranoid.. how come a celebrity visit a small cafe of yours?? i brushed off
Shanaya:" pass me the bowl of brown sugar" I Asked Manushi smiling towards her.. Well she does alot of work here.. she was actually facing financial problems when she entered her college , so I asked her to work in my cafe..as a part-time job... I know I'm not able to make huge profit , but still I feel relaxed when I help someone..She was long lost thinking deep so I smacked her head lightly.." why are you lost madam" I asked rolling my eyes and went to knead the cookie dough.She too followed me and excitedly chirping at the counter, she says." Shan don't you think?? that Emir Blackiston is so hot?? " she said looking at the ceiling.. ahh looks like someone is dreaming so hard.."don't you think you are too lost in someone's dream" I said playfully rolling my eyes and continuing kneading the cookie dough.." His jawline is perfect is so perfect.. and oo damn his smirk looks so alluring.. "
Emir:She looked like an angel.. when I first saw her.. Since granny already showed me the way to apologize her, so I am gonna do it.. I'll visit that cafe tomorrow itself and ask her out.. yeah perfect.I was planning itself when I heard my brother's voice." bro are you smiling??? " Zack asked widening his eyes wide as if smiling is something banned for me.That's when I realized I was really smiling like a fool.To be honest, I don't really smile frequently, I don't know what got into me but I was smiling since morning." why ,is smiling banned ?? " I asked him.. he chuckled." no, but that's a matter of surprise.. no shock that, Emir Blackiston is smiling " he emphasized on the surname." then get ready to be shocked forever!! " my words made him jumped in shock.." one second??? are you in love??? " he said wiggling his eyebrows.. kids these days. he isn't a kid, he is 24 but s
Shanaya:I slept that night in spite of knowing that my cafe is sealed, I don't have a job or a penny to meet both ends.. and still I don't know how to manage the expenses of orphan children... the anxiety arose in me was eating me from inside, especially when I know I'm helpless.Next day I again headed with a light of hope that, may be today can I get a decent job, but to my bad luck no job was available or may be I could say due to my spoiled reputation they didn't want to hire me..Suddenly I get a call from my best friend, Amara.. god why haven't I thought about her.. she is a great motivator."hey Am what's up?? "." I'm okay but.. what about you, where are you and what about the cafe!!! " I felt the shrieking yelling sound from the other side of phone,that I have to literally close my ear. .. ok fine she is freaking out right now..She is my best friend in fact." ok ok I was about to tell you!!! "
Emir:I was actually shocked cuz Azeil didn't show any concern even for a female colleague once, I remember she was about to fall, then he instructed one of our employees to take her to hospital, but he didn't himself bother much.When we reached home , Zack was asleep but granny was up, as she looked to the girl figure in Azeil's arms, she was confused but didn't say anything..Azeil layed her in the guest room, where her constant blabbering could be heard.. why is he so concerned about her."bro, finally can you tell me about her?? " I said scratching back of my neck." she is my childhood friend, remember when dad sent you to the hostel, and I insisted to remain here, that's because I liked her... I mean she was my crush back then!!! "One second.. did I hear it clearly.. my brother.. Azeil Blackiston had a crush on someone..God played the same trick again.. why does to lay
Shanaya:I woke up with a severe headache, I can't even recall yesterday's incident, I just remember, that couple weaving random conclusion about me and then I took a tequila shot... wait.. I drank alcohol... seriously Shan, you know your alcohol tolerance, still..I sat up crossing my legs, when I found I wasn't in some familiar place, wait... where am I??? I am freaking.. it's more likely a hotel..I immediately looked towards my clothes and found that those were still intact.. and then fidgeted the quilt and found that there wasn't any blood..I laid a sigh of relief , having been confirmed that my virginity is still intact.But now the question arises, where am I??.I looked towards my phone placed on the nightstand and found approximately hundreds of missed calls from Amara and Jones.Hell. I'm doomed, first of all I don't know where am I right now?? secondly these three people are gonna ki

Shanaya point of viewEmir led me out of the hall where his car was parked and took keys of his white Lamborghini from the valet. How did the valet know that he was coming? Emir opened the car door for me. I was about to sit when he positioned his hand on my head making me confused. I looked up at him, he didn't say anything but bobbed his head, gesturing me to sit. When I sat then only I realized why he did that. He did that to secure my head from bumping into the car's head.He pulled the car out of the parking and drove home. The car ride was awkwardly silent, I sat on my seat looking out of the window and he kept his focus on driving. I wanted to ask him about Chris. Why he reacted that way in front of him? Why he snapped at him? I agree that I was scared by his penetrating and discomforting gaze but the way Emir reacted made me feel like there was something else going on between them. I wanted to ask but I stayed quiet.When we reached home,
Emir blackiston As she saw me walking towards her, she stepped a little forward, leaving her colleagues behind. As I was walking towards her, my heart, mind, and soul were screaming to compliment her.The moment I approached her, I swallowed hard, she looked even more breathtaking from closer. I racked my eyes on her beautiful face, making sure that the beauty standing in front of me was real. I flickered my eyes from her face down to her neck, I saw her gulp.I looked back at her face to find her face already turned pink. Cute... Then I realized... Shit!! What was I even doing? I was gawking at her. We are in public. Damn!! What's wrong with me?"You haven't complimented her yet. Do it now." My subconscious mind said. I cleared my throat."Why weren't you picking up the phone? I was calling you." Fucking hell. I was supposed to compliment her.She immediately looked at her empty hands."Where's my phone? It was with me
