Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 109 - how to pick the right cucumber
“You tell me why you decided to choose this particular cucumber even though it's already starting to ripen?” He asked and the lady who had a fringe gulped and adjusted her expression before answering him. “This is a family dish and although people would not go for the ripe cucumber when buying in the market, I chose it so that that part could be served for the younger ones, l-like the child dish…,” she cleared her throat with a little stutter before continuing, “since the cucumber is not going to be steamed according to the recipe, this is the best way to make it easier for the child,” she said nervously, blinking up to ten times per second. Chef Luca had a straight face as he dropped the cucumber back in the ingredients plates before turning to look at Gift and saying with so much tenacity, “the competition can start, but I'll have you know that I won't hesitate to kick you out for the slightest of errors. Do your best if you want to prove yourself!” He said as the stuttering lady

An hour down and the kitchen was left with just six of the original contestants; Gift, Beauty's mom, an Italian through and through, the lady with a fringe from earlier and two others who seemed to be sisters. “We can do this. Let's learn under Master Luca together,” the sisters cheered for themselves as they continued cooking, arranging the ingredients and trying their best to stay till the end. “It's a little too soon to address me as your master, don't you think?” Chef Luca said coldly and the ladies went silent, but that didn't diminish the brightness in their eyes. They were set and the determination was evident. Gift wasn't lacking behind either although she was with nobody to cheer for her beside her, she worked between sitting and standing while trying her best to remember and incorporate the basics that she had learnt over time. She only had her motivation and occasionally water and candy breaks to keep her company and that satisfied her. “And where do you think you're

“Who taught you how to make this” he asked with a voice so soft she had to be sure it was the same meanie talking to her. “No one. It's my first time making this,” she confessed.“How about your mother? She must have cooked this for you when you were younger, right?” He asked as if he was talking to a child, trying his best to be careful with his words“Uhn? I grew up in an orphanage,” She stuttered as she tried to form the words that failed to form. She wanted to tell him to stop acting nice as she had learned to be unrestrained and speak for herself over the months, however, there was a glistening in his eyes that made her stop. Something wasn't right. She watched as he set the chop sticks aside with shaky hands before rinsing a fork and grabbing a small ceramic plate for himself as he sat on a stool. After serving himself a small portion of everything which was a surprise for the young man who was around to assist in the supervision that he stood and watched with his mouth sligh

Gift's POV Today is the happiest day of my life, or rather each day has been getting happier for me ever since I met him, my boyfriend. We've had a lot of rocky days of course, but seeing him standing in that expensive suit, dressing to match my rhinestone dress which he had gotten for me to celebrate my matriculation just makes me feel even more happier and I have no doubt that he would find a way to make me happier woman by this time tomorrow. I can't help but smile at the thought of all the things he has put together and worked on for us to get here. He changed himself to fit me, a one of a kind man. “Gifty, where's my daughter?” I heard someone call from a distance as I looked around and saw Ruby Yu. She looked unlike how I'd ever seen her all the times we've met either physically or through video calls cos not once have I ever seen her in a pair of denim skirt and a white short sleeved button up shirt. I gasped as I walked up to hug her, “you look so stunning mom, I thought

“Why is your husband not yet here?”“Exactly, it’s been hours and the groom is yet to arrive, she’s such a pathetic young wife.”Gift’s palms were sweaty as she continuously spread them on the pearls of her white wedding gown. Her eyes roamed the church as she searched in between rows and the aisle for any signs of Ken.They had an argument the night before after she asked him where he had been going every night of their vacation, but he stormed out and shouted the words, “I just don’t love you anymore.”She knew that much, but she hoped that her love and sincerity would have reached his heart and convinced him to look at her even once, but the reminder from the pastor, “I can only wait another thirty minutes, after that, I’m sorry but i have other lovely couples to wed,” snapped her out of her thoughts.He was clearly irritated and had a scowl similar to the one the hired faces in the crowd had.“I’m sorry, he’ll be here soon, he probably just got caught in traffic,” she apologized a

Gift felt numb throughout the flight back to the city except for the sharp consistent pain in her lower belly which forced her to be aware of her environment.She felt cheated out of life but she had no one but herself to blame and didn’t know where to start her life from as she was down to ground zero with a baby she couldn’t hate.As the flight attendant announced that the plane would be landing soon, she looked down at her belly as she wiped her tears, “you are mine alone now and I promise to find a way to raise you well,” she smiled amidst her tears making the people beside her give her quizzical looks, all which she ignored and wiped her tears haven accepted this new life of hers.She stood tall as she dragged her box out of the airport but it was raining and she didn’t have an umbrella, nor the luxury to buy any of those expensive airport umbrellas, so she decided to wait it out.However, the rain wasn’t stopping and she had to give up and take the cab, but it had gotten lat

The surgery was a success and the mother lost her baby, but she was yet to wake up.Because of his sister insisting he had to stay up all night to sit by her side as the surgery went on without the chance to close the deals with those greedy and impatient investors who he had spent months trying to convince.He promised himself to take it out on the dumb woman and make her pay.“This is my fault. I shouldn’t have asked the driver to hurry to pick you up. His sister was back to feeling guilty but nothing he did could convince her otherwise Which made him hate that woman the more.“She will be fine and she’ll tell you it’s not your fault when she wakes up,” he said as he patted her head,” so why don’t you go take a rest at home? You need to get some sleep.”“No, I want to be here when she wakes up, so I can apologize,” she insisted and he felt his strength leave his body.Time was money and of essence to him and with every minute that passed, he was losing a lot of it.Later that eveni

Gift found the master’s bedroom and felt repulsed by the lack of decorations in the room.It was like a picture from the 90’s, all in black and white but she didn’t want to judge because she had it in her to change things and not give in to the ways of her ruthless ‘husband’ anymore, but a huge wave of shock hit her when she entered the closet and realized that there was not a single female clothing in there, she ran to the bathroom and saw how neat and devoid of anything feminine things and came to a conclusion.“I must have been really dense to have married a man like this,” she said with a huge frown as she looked at her bandaged reflection in the mirror before swiping everything on the table down and storming down the stairs.Zenith had heard the sound of things crashing, but he ignored it with a smirk, thinking that she must have fallen from feeling dizzy, but what he didn’t expect was that she was right in front of him the next minute and had wordlessly slammed his computer shut

“You are only standing here because you're lucky I will do anything for my godmother,” The moment chef Luca returned to the kitchen, he glared at her and Gift knew that he wasn't lying about that one, so she nodded and offered a small smile which he didn't bother to appreciate.but the moment he turned away from her, she let out a sigh of relief but she knew how much he valued ruby Yu from the way he personalized ‘godmother’. At this moment, Gift and Winifred had already set their ingredients on the table and were having mini talks until the next phase of the cooking competition would start when there was suddenly a noise coming from the storage area where they went to pick their ingredients.As they turned their head to the side, they saw the pompous lady from earlier who was bragging about her servants run out if the storage room with tears in her eyes. “You just wait until my I tell my husband about this,” she cleared her throat and sniffled before pausing to raise her head up so
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 107 - innocently brags about his good genes
“I like puppies more than cats,” Beauty said as she carried the furry car that had two long white stripes running from the back of its two ears to the tail where they joined as one, making the fail complete white on the top and black underneath. “Them leave my cat alone, you aren't even being true to yourself,” Olivia scoffed as she took a sit beside her and started to pet the other two kittens that had run to her laps. “The cat's for your mother, plus you named this very beautiful cat after me. How could I not pet it when we sure the same name?” Beauty argued back as she hugged the cat closer, her hand still brushing it's fur on the back. “I wish she gave Jonold my full name too, but instead she made me share with this fatty,” Arnold lamented as he kissed the face of the cat on his laps. All four of them were seated on a cushion with Beauty,Jornold and two other cats whose owners they didn't know. “Are you blind or do you need me to remind you that I basically can't gain too much
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 106 - The Ruby Yu
She had some friends who supported her this time, unlike those who considered her as competition back at the orphanage. This time around, her distraction was the genuine love she recieved from her family and not from someone who wanted to bring her down. She was genuinely supported, however, unlike those times when those exam papers were marked without a care for who owned them, those times when they grades were given fairly and without partiality, Gift felt a heavy dose of partiality weigh on her. Winifred squeezed her hand to support her,but they both decided to let it go. “I'll just raise my hand next time,” Gift muttered tl herself and hoped that was really the case. “Now you all will move on to picking out the ingredients as described in the recipes. Just twenty minutes for this stage and there is just enough for everyone.” The Italian in white said and they all nodded stiff for a moment. Him saying just enough for everyone sounded like a declaration of scarcity for Gift and
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 105 - Chef Luca Bellucci
“These recipe is so strange, I never even knew that such a combination could exist,” Gift muttered to herself as she picked up the small pamphlet that was handed to all thirty of the contestants. While every single one of them was each given the same meal to cook, it was still all strange to them as Winifred and Gift showed eachother their pamphlet and they were able to.confurm it when others started murmuring. Just one dish written in Italian and English, Luca Bellucci family meal, but even those who claimed to have cooking certificates have the little pamphlet the same confusing look as Gift. It was safe to say that they were about to cook a meal based in written steps and no idea of how to go about it or how it should even taste beforehand. Some of them had never even heard of it before.Gift who didn't have the luxury to eat many foreign food due to her financial status before had spent the past two months watching YouTube videos, because she had gotten another helpful tip fro

“Please cooperate,” he was past being stubborn and had to lower himself to make Gift concede. There was still the issue with the cats and the children which included Joseph, Beauty and Olivia as it so turned out that Beauty's mom had connections enough to let her know about the competition and what better way to form a good relationship than cooking together. However, she had gone in ahead while leaving beauty with Olivia and Joseph after begging and confirming that there would be no traces of Scarlet or any friends with a gun. “The kids, but not Zenith. He can't go to somewhere like that, it'll stress him,” Gift said as she remembered how Zenith had to be rushed to the hospital at midnight of the night the cat's were first adopted. He had tried to force himself to adapt to the pets by hugging them through the night but there was only little his body could take then. However he didn't give up the two months that followed, training himself and diligently following the doctor's presc
