“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

He could tell that things had shifted for him and that if he let her go in with her plot, all his delicate plans would fail, but he couldn't help but remain silent.He wanted to see Gift's acting till the end.Everyone was putting on an act or the other, but something about the way she presented herself made him feel like he wouldn't mind getting lied to continuously, although that was the one thing he hated the most.“Gift?'' Zenith was unsure of when he needed to say anything, so she continued as she turned her attention to Ruby Yu, gave her a small smile before opening the diamond studded clutch in her hand and taking out the other ring of the pair with which she was already matching.She held Zenith's left hand and put the ring in his ring finger.It entered just past the fingernails with ease, but it was difficult to push through, however,

So until he left the hall, the people closer to him held their breath hoping it wasn't their death day.Ruby Yu on the other hand smacked her lips together with a frown as she looked at Gift whose eyes were widened in shock.“Poor you,” she pouted, “he has such a lousy temper, I can't believe I almost invited him for that ship cruise, you don't be too startled, how about we go receive some fresh air while you tell me about your sweet romance with this stoic man,” she said as she glared at Zenith again.Zenith finally understood what was happening and he had his mouth open in both surprise and shock.He would have never seen that coming, no matter the direction he was seeing it from.A situation he had given up on was easily revived and given life by her. He looked at her as she nodded at Ruby Yu before mouthing softly, “

“Thank you for your kindness,” Gift smiled as she looked her in the eye, still acting casual and that was just what Ruby loved the most about her as she reminded her of her younger self.“Sure, anytime,” she beamed, feeling more excited as she took a step forward with the eyepatch lady before suddenly stopping, “let me tell you a secret, when you're coming, you must…”Zenith on the other hand was about to follow after them as he felt a possessiveness to see when Gift was taken away, but before he could take a step further, he was swarmed by other people around who mustered up their courage to find out what exactly had transpired from the last man standing.Gift, due to the emergency, was left by herself on the corridor and with no sense of direction, she found herself at the balcony of that floor.As the breeze hit, she realized that there was no

“Here, look at this,” he remembered the card Ruby had given him and handed it to them,their eyes widened upon recognizing it and they decided to reconsider, but not until they had put a call through to Scarlet who had scolded them for keeping such an esteemed guest waiting while threatening to take their lives if such happened again.Now they had to face the wrath of Zenith in person.The reason why they could remain strong and adamant was because they were scared of losing their lives to Ruby Yu's blood thirsty assistant, but now that that fear was gone, it was now replaced by the dreadful rumors they had heard of Zenith.They fell to their knees with their head lowered, ready to get hit if it alleviated Zenith's anger.“Where is she?” was all he managed to mutter as they conceded.“On the first floor by the balco

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
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 110 - win by default
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
