Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 85 - Zenith's First official fuckup
“Gift, I promise you that I can never be disloyal to you, you have to believe me,” Zenith sounded desperate as he was kneeling in front of gift. “Of courses what did I expect of someone like you,” she groaned as she looked away from him when he grabbed her wrists and and kissed the back of her palm. “Mama, how did we get here?” He lowered his head, feeling regretful as a sigh left his lips, but he didn't stop rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb to appease. Her. How they got there? Oh! Gift knew. She knew it very much, and although she somewhat blamed herself, but she couldn't bring herself to back down. Although Zenith had apologized, she still felt embarrassed and a little hurt because of her misunderstanding. “Hmmpf,” she looked to the side, but unable to focus on the TV displayed in front of her as her mind went back to barely 30 minutes ago, after she had sent Olivia to school. It was the second day since they came back from the ship cruise, there had been more goin

He could hear the emergency bells go off in his head as his eyes widened in realization. With it came the urgent need to explain himself. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.” His words were rushed as she searched her eyes for anything that could make him feel safe, rather she smirked without the smile reaching her eyes. Unlike the normal times when he could read her emotions, when she was pissed or even trying to hide a blush, he knew it was different this time. There was nothing there. “Oh really?” She folded her arms in front of her chest. “Yes, I know that came out wrong, but that's not what I meant. I hope you don't misunderstand.” “Misunderstand? But why would I do that? After all, I'm not the one you're dressing up to go on a date with. I would only be overstepping my boundaries if I misunderstood,” another smirk that didn't reach her eyes. “I know you're angry, but I wasn't lying when I said that I don't plan on it being a real date.”“But why? You're so well dresse

“Since I can't start my physiotherapy yet and I've been resting all day, what other activities can I do with my time.” Gift groaned as she slammed her pen in the desk. “I see you've had enough of studying for the day as well,” her aide who had witnessed everything that happened between her and Zenith said as she leaned towards her. “Exactly. It's such a simple topic and I've solved lots of questions under it, but this one is really upsetting. I'm so tired,” she groaned as she proceeded to slam her books shut. “Hmm, in that case,” her aide sat back and stroked her chin in thought, “I'd suggest you go out. Not to do anything strenuous though. You can admire nature if yore a nature lover, any other familiar things that can calm your mind,” her maid suggested as she returned her gaze back to Gift who was now lost in her own thoughts. “I should hang out with Winifred then. I haven't seen her since that day,” she thought as she reached for her phone to dial Winifred's number, missing th

Gift noticed that her spirit was down again and in her attempt to liven her up, she started another conversation. “Why don't we go out instead of going home immediately. Where do you want to go?” Gift asked and Olivia raised her head. “Really?” Olivia chirped. “Yup, mom's gonna take you anywhere you want to go. a movie theatre, an amusement park? Name it!” Gift said with pride as she hit her chest, but her aide looked back just in time to remind her of the necessary health precarious to take. “That's why you can't go to the amusement park. You will be overly excited and it could affect your leg that needs all the rest in the world. Straining it would only make hinge worse,” her aide said making Gift sulk. “But I really wanted to go to the amusement park,” she pouted as she folded her arms be it was Olivia's turn to console her. To put it simply, their roles were now reversed. “Come on, don't be like that. How about we just go to a simple cafe to have some nice drinks and pastri

“Please accept it as our token of gratitude.” The manager and two of his baristas were standing by their side as the manager gave Gift a great card that had the chef hat logo of the cafe. “Token of gratitude? But we didn't really do anything. What's this by the way?” She asked as she examined the second card she was receiving that day. “It's a member of gratitude given out to our most outstanding customers of the year. We give it twice yearly after 6 months,” the manager said and Gift's eyes widened as she looked between him, her aide and Olivia seated around their table. It was starting to get dark, but she had wanted to wait till the very end of their working hours in case Zenith eventually showed up. But up until they started to clean up although they didn't have any customers to attend to, but he hadn't shown up until the very end of it. “in that case, I can't have it, If it's such a special thing, then why would you give it to us. I only invited my friends over to eat…”“Tha

Zenith was just about to leave house in search of her when the gate opened and their car pooled in. “Where have you been, you had me really worried!” He hurried to her side and shook her shoulders before pulling her into a rather rough hug, slamming their bodies with eachother. “Worried?” Gift couldn't understand his concern. “There was no need for that. How did your date go by the way?” She tried to free her head from resting on his chest as she was close enough to hear his troubled heartbeat. “I had to cancel the date. How about you. Where have you been since morning?” He glared at her aide as she got out of the car. I'm sorry that we didn't inform you of her location, but I can promise that she was safe and there no need to worry,” her aide said in order to placate him but he was still just as angry. “It's really dangerous outside and no matter what, you can't be too careful, not with what happened to Winifred. Despite my instructions to put safety first, you still stayed out

“Why didn't you tell me about it before now?” “You had to attend to important business. I understand that you're very busy and you have a lot of responsibility.” “ Lot of responsibility that includes you Winie. I have offended you enough and I really couldn't afford for this to have happened. You are my number one most important business, yet I had been acting like you were just a replacement and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry Winie.” “Antonio. Please don't be like this, I already feel guilty for hiding everything from you. I should have told you.”“No, it's not your fault. It's me who should have looked into your past during that time that we were separated. It's all my fault.”“No, remember I asked you not to look into it if anything, it's my hus- that's man's fault that this happened, so please don't blame yourself.”“Well, someone has to take responsibility for this, right?” a deep low chuckle followed and Gift who was eavesdropping in front of the hospital room felt chill down he

“Why aren't you leaving for work early? Don't you have to deal with the issue you won't talk to me about? Or do you have another fake date to attend today?” Gift who had barely eaten her meal couldn't help but take in the outfit Zenith was wearing but she didn't want to say a thing about his outfit, not when he wouldn't tell her what exactly Timothy did. “You sound pissed, it makes me sad to see you upset,” he said and she scoffed. “As if! Just answer the question, are you going for another fake date today?” She asked as she eyed him before looking away right at the moment that their eyes connected. “Yes, I'm going for a date, but it's not going to became today,” he said and she almost exploded in fury as she gripped the arm of her wheelchair tightly. “Oh, I see,” she breathed as she tried to sound normal, but her trembling breathing gave her out, “you you've decided to make it up to that woman with areal date right?” How shameless?! She thought as she started to move her chair.

Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 112- epilogue, the end
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
Business Tycoon Zenith and his Gift 111 - another Becculli
“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
