And Richard looking at her, said, “Do you know him?”
But it was not necessary for Ronda to respond, Robert ignoring everyone else walking towards me and with all authority hugging me tightly. When Richard saw that, his eyes changed drastically, and a look full of anger appeared.
Robert, when he separated, put both hands on my shoulders and, looking at me with desire, he said, “It's amazing that you are here!"
After several seconds he looked at the others and said with disdain, "Thank you all for coming!"
Preston looked at me curiously and calmly, and he said, "Robert, let me introduce you to our new Chef Mr. Richard Atlas!"
Robert finally looked at him and, with his smirk, reached out a hand and said, "The star of the tour!" Richard reached out his hand, and in the second where he was about to take it, Robert removed it and said, coming over and putting his arm around his neck, "I heard you were acclaimed at all the other events,
They both approached, and the tension could be cut with a knife, they both saw each other, and the first to speak was Robert, who said, "This confrontation is to decide who will cook in tomorrow's event" his gaze was evil, and from time to time, he would throw glances in my direction. "The loser will accept the other's decision without problems, okay?"Richard nodded, and when he was about to leave, Robert added, "Don't feel bad when you lose. After all, I have more experience than you!"Richard smiled at that comment and said, "You are a five-star chef. If I lose, I won't be surprised, but if I win, you will be the five-star chef who lost to a simple inexperienced boy!"They both shared murderous looks, and Preston sitting in the middle of the judge chosen by Robert, and I said, "Well, both will have two hours to prepare dinner, the judges will decide who the winner is. The dish must have all the components of a gala dinner, including dessert!"They both
The moment they left the place, Preston looked at me with a lot of disappointment and said, “What the hell was that!? Do you really think Robert won that competition!? “I looked at him, and my desperation increased. I tried to seek support in Ronda, but at that moment, her gaze was the same as Sierra’s, full of reproaches, and with uncertainty, I wanted to justify myself by saying, “You said it, Preston. Robert was faster. That’s important!”Robert puffed out his chest in frustration and said, “Yes, it is important, as well as realize that he cook twice as much as Robert at the same time!”His gaze was full of reproach, and controlling himself not to raise his voice, he said, “What the hell is wrong with you? He trusted you! “And with those words, he withdrew. Behind him, Sierra left, giving me a more muscular look than she had done before.Ronda stayed a little longer, and her gaze went
Richard smiled, but this time it was not one of his usual smiles. It was full of bitterness and fury, and having both drinks, he said, “Why was something going to go wrong tomorrow!?”His gaze was fixed, and his eyes were different. At that moment, I said, “I don’t know it’s a possibility!”“You think I can’t cook at an event like that!?”“No, of course, it’s not that!” I immediately said, trying to get him to believe me, “It’s just that you’ve never done it. That’s why I think Preston is the best option!”Richard stared at me and placed both glasses on the table in his room, and calmly asked.“Answer me something, Jessika! Which dish was the best for you today!?”His eyes were penetrating and fixed and full of confusion. I looked at him for a while and could not hide what I thought. I said, “Yours!”That seeme
The event arrived, and everything was going well. The team members worked as usual, but unlike the other activities, a strange spark was missing, it was difficult to explain, but everyone worked and smiled out of obligation as the times they did. They were doing it before Richard showed up.The magic that we had achieved in the previous activities had been lost, and even though everything was going according to plan, nothing seemed right.Preston came up to me, and looking at me, he said, “Everything seems to be going well, despite everything!”He also noticed the lack of that spark, and we both knew that that spark had a first and last name. Suddenly Sierra appeared in front of me, smiling and beaming. Seeing her, I couldn’t help but look at her smile, and Preston, who was enjoying her radiant happiness, asked her, “Why so smiling?”She looked at me in her typical lousy mood only to smile at my brother and say, “Richar
The threat from him was such that I was terrified. If they stopped the event, everything I had worked for would be gone and looking at Richard, and he smiled bitterly, he said, “Yes! I hit him! “The guards exchanged glances and calmly took him, handcuffed him, and took him away. His look when he left was once again one of disappointment, and looking at Robert getting up, I felt a total repudiation for him.He fixed his clothes and looking at me, and he said, “What a classless brute you chose as my replacement!”And with those words, he withdrew. The rest of the event ran its course, and all was well until several uninvited people arrived from the host team delegation. They were seated at tables and placed ready to eat, but Robert had left.Preston looked at me in confusion, but I didn’t know where he had gone until one of the kitchen staff said, “He said his head hurt and that he would go to sleep!”My wor
Richard was going to speak again, but this time I went ahead and said, “This is my fault, boss!”He looked at me with a murderous look and said, “I know! In the complaints that arrived, they mention your part ideally! “The Boss opened the folder again and calmly read a paragraph that said the following, “The person in charge of the event, Miss Jessika Harris, pardoned the terrible behavior of her employee in the face of the offense she committed and once his injuries caused the absence of our cook, it was she who allowed the assailant to take charge of the kitchen!”The report that the boss read had all the wrong data, the events did not happen like that, and with anger, I said, “Boss, they are lying! That didn’t happen like that! “The Boss looked at me with a brutal look, his older expressions made him look more intimidating, and calmly he said, “You think I’m stupid! Do you think I&rsqu
Without being able to do anything I called him, but he did not answer the phone, I wanted to chase him to find him, but at that moment I realized that there was nothing I knew about him. I was so foolish to ignore him for so long that I lost contact with him instantly. He protected me throughout the trip, and his last act was to save my identity.It was hard to say, but that job was what I was back then, and he understood instantly. I, unable to see beyond what was in front of me, let myself be carried away by my need to explain everything, and that feeling that I had inside me now on was lost in my need to give it a name.The explanation he had given me about love was quite simple and straightforward, and for the first time, I had understood it, but I felt that now it was too late, and it would be useless to understand that feeling now if the person for whom I felt had left.The following days were gray for me, I couldn’t stop thinking about him, and I ke
Everyone had given me messages for Richard, but the truth was that he didn’t answer the phone was frustrating, I couldn’t find him, and after a week, I keep trying. And it had been a month since I last saw him and casually one night my phone rang.When I saw the screen, it said Richard and that made my heart skip a beat, without wasting time I answered, and calmly his voice was heard on the other side of the receiver.I said, waiting for an answer, and with a few seconds, “Hello!” I listened.“Hello, Jessika! I saw that you had called me several times!” His voice sounded a bit cold, and the truth was I did not know what to think. The last time we saw each other, he said very nice things, but that alone was not enough to know what our situation was.“Hi, Richie! How are you?” I asked.I did not know what else to say. I had many things to ask, but perhaps releasing all the anticipation I felt for him in
