19 - Arnold's And Beauty's Triangle
Last Updated:

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

“We are not reall-” she wanted to deny her friendship with this damsel that looked cute when he was blushing when he spoke up again.“So aunty, can I come to live with you? I00 want to be a farmer in the future and we can live as one happy family with fresh food everyday,” he said and Gift forced herself to recover from her earlier shock as she digested his words.“What about your parents?”“My dad is out of the country for a business trip and my Stepmom always burns the food when she tries,” he shrugged and she looked away to hide her smile.“Isn't that-” just then a lady who looked to be in her late twenties pushed the door open and shouted, “dumb fatty, it's time to go home,” but then she noticed him in the group of others instead of sitting alone with his head down.S

They went home discussing only the good and happy moments of their day, and warming up to each other the more.“My dad rarely cares about other people and would rather spend the rest of his life tending to mom's gardens or traveling the world. He must really want you to be my brother's wife,” Olivia muttered from where she was seated around the table doing her assignments and Gift, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen, froze.“Why do you say that?”“These chocolates were my mom's favorite and they are really hard to find,” Olivia explained and Gift shook the light tremor in her heart.“Oh, I see,” she tried to sound as off handed as she could as she resumed cutting the vegetables but Olivia who surprisingly failed to get the hint this time continued to ramble on about how special she was to their family and Gift who had a special so

“Can we be your friends? My mom is a model.”“And mine is an international actress, so just stop hanging around that fatty!”Olivia thought about how ridiculous their friendship proposal was when compared to Joseph's.They had changed their spaces to become seatmates but Joseph had just gone out for a pee break when two of her classmates suddenly approached her wanting to be friends with her.“I don't want to be friends with you,” she replied blandly.“Look, we are so beautiful and our moms can invite your mom to their club too. How can you reject us, do you know who we are?” They were shocked by her outright proposal.“I don't care about people who are conceited and can't be true to themselves, talkless of others,” she replied, still not bothering to take her eyes off h

“There is already a lot on my plate with the industry Dinner coming up soon, and there she is too, there is never an end to the number of questions that she asks,” Zenith lamented over the phone to Trenor who in just the span of one day had lost a lot of weight and had his cheeks sunken.The other lady upon hearing her fate, which was different from the others who got fired voluntarily resigned because she knew about the helpless fate of those who were sent there. But at least she was the only one not blacklisted and she still had a chance to find work.Trenor's charisma had reduced by half as he stared back at Zenith.“Then you shouldn't have sent me here, I could have been of help,” he said as he tried to suppress a yawn.”Zenith's eyes wrinkled as he remembered the exact reason why he had sent him away in the first place.

“You look stunning,” Zenith complimented as the couple got out of the car.It was the weekend and they had arrived in front of the private mansion where they were going to be having dinner.From the point that she agreed to come for the dinner till that point when they were standing beside each other, Zenith had put in a lot of effort into preparing her for that night.From hiring a makeover company to hiring a lady from an elegant school, all to make sure that she was prepared and had all the confidence in the world to face the others.“Nervous too,” she said as she linked her hand with his, just like they had practiced.“You just be a good girl and stay by my side. This dinner is really important and remember, no one is your friend,” she nodded and smiled at him, suppressing her nervousness as

The father and daughter pair were shocked to stupor and also that he had ignored them in front of everyone.“Daddy,” his daughter whined as she turned to him, but he was so close to vomiting blood as he got up to his feet in a start and held his daughter's hand.“You-” he pointed to shakenly at Zenith, “I'll make you pay, I swear!” he said before leaving, but Zenith remained unfazed as he appeared entranced by Gift's beauty instead.After all, he wasn't the only one that had sworn to deal with him. Others had even sworn with their generational wealth, but no matter how hard they tried, they could never come close and this would be no exception for him.The event resumed in its full vigor soon after and soon enough, the main event of networking and showing off started.“Don't move too far away from me, people will offer u

After picking out her dress and sneaking a peak at the tuxedo he was putting on, she had found a pair of couples rings to match as she was so into the act of being his date for those five days, but when she had confronted him with the idea, he had shunned it saying, “that thing is too much of a boundage,” mercilessly rejecting her proposal, but instead of her returning the rings in their cases, she had put them in her clutch instead, unable to part with them.And her love for jewelries had made her slip on her own when she was bored at the beginning of the dinner.“She's here, she's here. The godmother is around.” They heard murmurs around and Zenith's face sharpened as his stance became lighter, ready to move in search of this ‘godmother’.The woman who was literally the backbone and the medium for him to upscale from the point he was currently at.She

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
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
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 108 - 20 competitors left
“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
