Last Updated:

Gift swallowed hard and tried to suppress the emotions that were rising at the back of her throat.
“She even dares to ignore the girlfriend of the youngest manager in the company, I think you were right when you said she was nobody,” the older lady said as she crossed her hands across her chest and spread her legs.
“It’s fine, we are old friends, so she must be shocked to see me,” Trisia decided to ride on their cocktails.
“If you're in a bid, I can talk to my fiance and we can help you. Are you here to see someone?” She asked again but was ignored by Gift who was starting to hyperventilate because of the small space

“Hm hm,” he cleared his throat as he passed by the group and they greeted him hurriedly before returning to their bullying, giving Zenith more time to get closer to them undetected.They didn't realize until he was so close to them and they could no longer escape from his wrath.“What's going on?” He asked, sending jolts of fear to their hearts, while the only person who had remained frozen was Gift.This came as a surprise to him and made him dislike these people more.Even if anyone was to make her cry, it had to be him, yet they had broken those walls before him and left her vulnerable making it difficult for him to think of a revenge plan when she looked like that.So he made a mental change of plan which was to build her back to her arrogant self and then get his revenge, until then, he had the strong urge to bring

However, the scene of earlier when she had defended his sister and gotten revenge for her with their childish plans resurfaced in his mind and he retraced his steps back to her side, telling himself that he was only doing it because he owed her that much for protecting his sister.Unsure of how to comfort her, he sat on the floor beside her, crossed his legs and pulled her close to his chest, feeling very conscious of her body heat yet another time.Gift who felt that her prayers were answered and she was given an extra gift of comfort leaned into him even more and let it all out.After some minutes of crying and blowing into his handkerchief, her face which had dark circles and eyebags under the concealer was now also bloated and she was hiccuping non stop.“Why don't we go to my office so you can have some water?” he asked, unable to un1llllll10lderstand this side of h

Haven gotten no sleep at night, what was supposed to be a little dozing off and nap turned out to be a few hours of sleep with her stretching over the three seater sofa and waking up with a little drool in the side of her mouth.Gift was startled awake with a sense of emergency and the feeling of being watched, but she woke up to a rather relaxing scene of Zenith having a normal conversation with some other guy that she didn't recognize until he introduced himself.Zenith had noticed that she was awake from the first time she fluttered her eyes but he had pretended to be engrossed in the conversation he was having with Trenor instead.“Did I sleep for long?” Gift asked softly as she rubbed her eyes, stretched and sat up. Trenor reacted first as he turned with a smile.“The sleeping beauty has finally woken up, here, have some water,” he said as he gave

Zenith because her agreeing to his way of seeing things made it feel like they were on the same team, but how was he supposed to be on the same team with someone he wanted to get revenge on. Trenor because he just lost his shot at asking her out. A young and elegant beauty who knew how to dress and spoke well but she had no interest whatsoever in being in a relationship. He fell back into his chair and made a mental note to change that aspect of her. “Hehe, I don't think someone can stay with that thought forever, so when you do change your mind, please remember that I'm single and searching and you are totally my type.” “Ahh well-” Gift who had never considered jumping into a new relationship after the incident with her ex felt uncomfortable at his proposal. “Trenor, I think you've said enough, your noise is too much and I can't focus,” Zenith u

Olivia on the other hand didn't sleep past lunch as she was too happy that no one dared to talk down on her about the fact that she didn't have a mother. Neither had there been anyone talking in harsh audible whispers behind her back. They all seemed to be talking about how she was the only one who had the youngest mom and about how jealous they were. To them, Zenith was her father and having Gift as her mother made her have the youngest parents in class, so their dark emotions towards her moved from intimidation and ridicule to jealousy and envy, which she didn't mind now that the void in her heart was being gradually filled. She smiled as the bell rang and took out her lunch box. Ever since she was a child, she'd had to eat food prepared by helps or the cafeteria since Zenith never had the time to make her breakfast, but now, she could pr

Olivia said a little prayer and thanked Gift for the food as she picked her cutlery, her motion not too rushed or too slow.Her lunch box had a heater that let her food stay warm at least, so she had nothing to worry about.Just before she started to eat, she spared her table partner a glance and saw that he was looking at her with a drool running down the side of his mouth.She frowned as she looked down and saw that he had wiped his tray clean of any grain of food and frowned.She hadn't heard him chewing loudly to indicate that he had rushed the food, yet in less than five minutes he was done.Joseph on the other hand could no longer bear to see the food getting pushed further away and abandoned just like that, so he sympathized with it.“That, you don't want to eat it?” He pointed to the food tray set aside.

To this, Olivia burst out laughing again, almost choking on her food as she started to cough.Arnold saw this and almost ran to her side with his water while Beauty smirked and hoped she would choke and die.“Please be careful,” Joseph said as he handed her water over to her and she collected it with thanks.After she had calmed down, Joseph was staring at her, still clueless to what had made her laugh so heartily.But he was glad that he made her laugh. Maybe she would give him food as thanks as he had thought that she suffered from face paralysis in the past when she never made any different facial expressions even when talking to the teachers and other adults and that was why he never reached out to her.He was scared of misunderstanding her intentions since he believed that he was dumb.However, that morning when he had s

Although she had twisted their words and intentions, she still didn't leave them with any saving grace.Satisfied at the silence, she continued to batter them with her words.“I really couldn't see it in the past, but you all are just bad for no reason and all you want is just someone whom you can look down on to make yourselves feel better,” she said as she looked at the faces of all of them, watching them hide their faces.“And what's so bad about that? The weak are supposed to be talked down by the poor,” Beauty said any word of retort she could think of and Olivia tutted.“You must have been raised in a really toxic environment to have such pathetic thoughts,” she said the words that rendered some of her classmates speechless.Joseph, who thought he was dumb didn't find it hard to comprehend, but the so-called

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

“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

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

“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

“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

“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
