Queen of the kitchen
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Alex was not a bad cook himself. In fact, living an apartment with no one but himself for as long as he could remember left the other party with no other choice but to learn the deed, along with other chores that one has to master if they wanted to live a decent life alone. However, unlike Shantal who not only has a specific liking for culinary but also happened to take a unit related to one, the girl clearly has an edge. It was for that same reason why despite they both used to live alone, Shantal was capable of cooking for many while Alex could not; he only knew how to do a single serving of food, and attempting to cater for a considerable number of customers was definitely out of his option, especially when there was someone else's business that was at stake. Besides, Alex was not confident that the taste would be at their liking, to begin with. That was why, in the end, he relented and allowed Shantal to work in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, from how Shantal carri

ALEX's POVFirst of all, I know how to cook! How do you expect me to survive on my own up to this point, if I don't even know how to prepare my own food? Overtime, I learned that buying groceries and making my own food was relatively cheaper than dining out. Regardless of how many vouchers and discounts you offered me, it won't change my opinion regarding this one. Besides, I am confident to say that I could be one of the most prudent person you could ever meet to the point that I would try to save any bucks I could if there was a chance for me to do so. I simply don't have spare change to afford food deliveries every single day.But at the same time, I would not go claiming that I am good at it. Maybe, mediocre. I guess? Honestly, I could not tell since no one had commended me about it yet, which was to be expected, in the first place considering that I never attempted to cook for anyone other than for myself.

There were only two options left for Alex to choose from. Either he would brace himself to dealing with angry customers after telling me there was no way that they could get food to eat from their place. At most he might just end up getting eaten alive by this group of hungry people or he would accept the helping hand that Shantal was offering to him together with the assistance of three more heads on top of it; clearly, the latter was a better option compared to the former. However, both choices also led to their own set of risks. If Alex would stick to the first choice, he would be tarnishing the good reputation that Auntie Hersia had painstakingly worked for over the years. In the worse case scenario, he might even end up ruining the overall business. On the other hand, if he would allow Shantal and the others to stay and helped him in the kitchen, it would delay them from going back home. Thus, increasing the risk of their lie getting exposed.Alex was compl

Not long after, Shantal and Alex could already be seen working in the kitchen in incredible harmony with one another. One was busy in front of the stove cooking several foods all the same time. While the other one was in the middle of attending the dishes, washing in front of the running water. It was as if they were made to specifically assist each other and even Jodi and the others were surprised when they noticed how well their teamwork was."How is it?"Shantal asked Alex when she had him tasted the food on the pot. However, the other party only nodded his head and gave her a vague answer."Hmmm.. not bad."Alex did not intend to appear indifferent. However, he was distracted. For some reason, he kept on throwing a nervous glance at the specific location where the trays as well as the saucer plates were placed in a pile. While Shantal was not looking, the guy edged closer to the plates. He extend

SHANTAL's P.O.V~~~~I was in the front of the stove, cooking different kind of foods all at the same time. Due to the fact that we were running out of time, I was left with no choice but to multitask. Not that I am not used to, though.But while I was busy cooking, the corner of my lips also could not help but quirked up. I was simply happy by the thought of a having a chance to work with Alex within the same space. It was for this simple reason why I could hardly stop a smile from showing on my face.Not only I know how to cook, I even prided myself to be good at it. Something that should not be surprising. After all, I was known for topping the class when I took culinary course to pass time. I don't need help in cooking, I wanted to prepare every single detail of it all by myself. So when I got to the kitchen, rather than letting Alex do some small tasks like chopping and sort,

Meanwhile, Harold and the two girls were left to tend to the needs of the rowdy customers.

Pipping hot food was served to satisfy the customer and it took no time before the group of starving people finished everything that was put in their table."Try some.""You must have some.""This one smells good.""Wait! Let me give it a taste first.""Hmmmm. I think this food is my new favorite.""I never tasted something as delicious like this before.""Try this!""Geez! This sashimi is the best!"These kind of conversation was the topic that has been going on as the people was in the middle of chowing down the dished prepared by Shantal. It was clear for all eyes to see that they liked the food; basically everything suit their pallete.Finally it was time for them to leave!"Here you go."Manuel said as he

SAM's P.O.V~~~~Outside, we were also caught up with overwhelming amount of request coming from the customer.They were way too demanding that at one point, I almost end up lashing at them. If not for my fear of making Harold disappointment about my action, I would have probably done it long ago.I could only pray for heaven to give me more patience.I was already irritated enough by the fact that I was left with no choice but to deal with the butch of noisy people against my will, but I did not know that I am still actually capable of feeling more irritated than how I already were.But when I saw, at the corner of my eyes, how the other girl, named Jodi was acting like some damsel in distress, I could not help but roll me eyes.UGH! This useless bourgeoisie was really rubbing at me at all the wrong places. I don't know why but I don't like her right at the very first time that I

HAROLD's P O V~~~I could already feel the exhaustion after the long drive taking the toll on me and the demanding group of people that we were trying to assist as of the moment was not helping at all. Considering my stamina, this was already hard, so what else to the two girls working with. I feel sorry for them.It was for this same reason why when I saw Jodi having a hard time carrying the tray of water, I no longer hesitated to run to her rescue right away. Not because I have a special treatment or I prefer a girl like her more than Sam.However, as soon as I helped Jodi with her tray, I saw at the corner of my eyes how Sam's eyes went heavenward and not long after I noticed that the tray on his hand was tipping on side.At this point, I know that if I would not do something to stop it, a disaster will happen and that was the last thing I wanted to h

"Gosh it's good."Harold said when he got to taste how refreshing the drink was. When he looked at the other two guys, he saw them gesturing to their head but he did not give them much attention."Yes.Sam repeated the same thing with a voice and face devoid of emotion."Something needs fixing."Harold told Sam afterward and so Sam fought back to urge to do and eye roll before replying flatly to him."Okay."This time, Harold noticed that Rico and Michael still keep on doing the same thing so he asked them instead,"What? Is your scalp itchy.""No."The two answered in unison. Jodi on the other hand who was watching all of this farce unfold right before her eyes, could not help but let out a sigh."You sure are made for each other."She said to no one in particular and it was also as seemed she was only talking to herself."Anyway. Michael, I need you to go to Casterly."

"I am right here.

He believed that if only he was not asleep that time, then maybe Jodi would also consider dating him.On the other hand, Rico seemed to be out of it and oblivious of him."Lover."The other party mumbled to himself as he observed the tarot card in his hand.'"I did not know this will happen. I feel so lonely."Michael muttered to himself out of despondency and while he was in the middle of self pity. Someone walked into the room.They though the one arrived was some random girl who was in full glam and obviously had just gone to salon for her touch up when it decided to have some coffee."Wow!

"That robot was sometimes human and sometimes a robot for me and that was why others who can't understand my situation mistakes me as someone who hallucinates and believe a robot as a human just because I am treating it just like one. But for my opinion, my situation was no different from those who loves their pets so much, they even considered them as their child and called themselves as furparents.""My emotions were input into that robot and that person. That is how this miracle happened. That fact completely changed the way I view things. This will be yet another scoop for the reporters present. Nordstorme Corp will go from financing mergers and acquisitions to investing in futuristic industries that involved human sensibilities. Just like what Alpha Tec Inc pioneered years ago.""This is your first change in business strategy in 15 years. Do you have anything mapped out?"One of the reporters raised a question just like what a normal press conference should

On the flip side, just like what Shantal assumed, Mr. Takashi with Mathilde's instruction called for an emergency meeting on that afternood. Which happened to coincide to the time when Shantal will hold her press conference.Moreover, since Mathilde would not be able to make it there since she was still held in prison, her secretary presided the meeting."We shall begin the emergency board meeting."Secretary Ye declared loudly and her voice reverberated in the room. Jiro was also there along with other board members."The agenda is the dismissal of Director Shantal Nordstorme and the cause is as you were all informed. An illness."She continued while everyone was silent and anxiously prayed so they could ever this meeting once and for all.

It was late in the evening when Jodi received a call out from nowhere. When she checked that registered on the caller ID, she was surprised to see Jiro's name.Truth be told, he was the least person he would expect to contact her. After all, the two of them never talked to each other for ages.Jiro used to be a good friend of hers as well. Just like how she and Shantal were cousins, Jiro and and Zorens were first cousins too so naturally all four of them get to know each other and as a child, they eventually became acquaintances in no time.Besides, since Zoren's parents were a family friend of the Nordstorme they often had an opportunity to hang around during their childhood.However, ever since the day Zoren committed suicide due to the incident regarding the Nordstorme controversy, Jiro also stopped communicating with them.So this made Jodi wonder what had come to Jiro to decide and phone her at this time of the night.But

"In other words, she wants me to become director and cover up all his shortcomings?"Mr. Takashi insinuated after his contemplation. He did not exactly declined the offer this time, unlike before. Although he also did not directly implied that he would do it.Nonetheless, Secretary Ye considered his response as a good sign. At least, the other party was no longer adamant at turning them down.So with the same insinuating manner, she answered him back."That would make it easier for you to do your duties once you become a director. All that was left for you now is to leave Ms. Shantal Nordstrome no other choice but to step down and abdicate the position of board directory to your hands.""Ousting her is not enough. He will just come back. We must make sure he loses the will to come back."Out of nowhere, Mr. Takashi declared with conviction and for a second, the secretary was taken aback by this.One moment, he almost drove her a

"You told Jodi about everything?"Mathilde asked her secretary as soon as the two of them were finally allowed to have some private conversation within the prison hall where she was currently detained. Panic was noticeably present on the other party's face when she raised her question. Meanwhile, the secretary remained silence yet that was all enough for Mathilde to guess her response and not long after that, her shoulders dropped on the side when the realization hit her."I guess she was bound to find out about it sooner or later."She muttered under her breath with despondent undertone.An exasperated sigh escaped Mathilde's lips afterward. But then, she suddenly tenses up when she recalled about something else.Leaning towards the other party all the while grabbing a hold to the iron bars, Mathilde looked around her warily first to make sure that no ears were on them.Only when she confirmed for the umpteenth time that no one was listenin

Thank you for the information."I replied and not long after that, she hung up on her because I reckoned that it would be best if I could relay this news to the other search parties. In this way they would also know where to start looking. Of course, the first one that I tried to call was my lady boss. However, to my dismay, I was only redirected to the voice call feature of the phone.'The number you have dialed is busy at the moment. Please try your call later or leave a message aft
