Different MindsetLuciano turned to look at Talia who was standing at the door of the bathroom, and his eyebrows rose in approval.That oversized tank top covered Talia’s private parts, but it was also low on the chest, giving him a glimpse of Talia’s cleavage… high on the thighs, exposing her legs, and loose around arms… Luciano swallowed hard as the image of Talia’s side-boob flashed in his mind. Yup, he remembered that.He really wanted to suck her there. Everywhere.Talia squirmed under Luciano’s gaze. Why did he look at her like she was naked?Talia was about to tug the tank top and cover her legs more, but she held that urge back due to fear of how that will lower the opening at her neck and expose her girls, so she just pressed her legs together and folded her arms over her stomach in a feeble attempt to protect herself from Luciano’s x-ray vision.“Can I help you?”, Talia asked.Luciano tilted his head and smiled a little. “There is no need to be so cautious, wife. Do you reme
I'm AwesomeIn a fairly clean bubble tea shop on Southwell Street in Brentwood City, a stunning young woman, who had a pair of sunglasses and bright lipstick on, threw her sun hat on the glass table and said sternly to the young man in front of her,"Christopher Yard,let's break up!""Break up?" The man who went by Christopher immediately froze as he heard what the woman said and only came to his senses after some time before asking."Why?""Why?" With a sneer, Tina Jones repeated what Christopher said sarcastically."You have no car,no house, and no savings! How dare someone like you-who has nothing to your name-ask me why: Christopher, don't you think this is ridiculous enough? A Penniless wretch like yourself doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend!"After saying this, Tina pushed the sunglasses up the bridge of her nose again, and then continued."I won't bother to waste any more of my time with you. Now, tell me-how are you going to compensate me?""Compensate?" Christopher asked w
Rolling in ExperienceApproximately two seconds later...«Ding!»The pointer stopped on the 'Knife Skills Option.'[Congratulations host, you have obtained a Knife Skill Experience Scroll. Your knife skill experience has increased by 100 points, and there are 9900 points of experience before the next upgrade,] the robotic voice said."What the actual f*ck?" Christopher was extremely taken aback by the absurdity of the entire situation, so he couldn't help but let out a curse."Can someone explain to me exactly what is going on here?""Knife skills? Experience Scroll? Are we playing online games here?" Christopher felt that his intelligence was slowly leaving him."What about this Ultimate Awesome Online Mall?" He turned his attention toward the screen again.“What the hell could this be?!”Now that the lottery had already been drawn, he figured he should continue studying this thing further without hesitation, he clicked on the 'Ultimate Awesome Online Mall' app again.«Ding!»It was
The DirectorChristopher felt even more puzzled when he heard Thomas say that with a serious expression. He raised his eyebrow and asked again."What do you mean?”"Don't blame me for not telling you sooner. Thomas said as his lips curled into a frown. Just remember that no matter what happens later, just stay calm and accept whatever comes your way. If you do that, you might still be able to get this month's paycheck. If you don't, hmm..." After saying this, Thomas sneered a few times before turning around and leaving.This made Christopher dumbfounded. Obviously, he didn't know what Thomas was talking about. So, without thinking too much about it, he headed straight into the locker room.As he was changing into his uniform. Leeroy from the Human Resources department approached the changing room and knocked on the door"Christopher Yard, Chef Woods and the managing director are waiting for you inside the meeting room"The managing director!? Christopher was surprised. Hayden was the
Cast outHayden's tone was stern and Tina was gloating. Christopher, on the other hand, seemed extremely calm, he remained stoic and instead watched the video quietly.He saw himself in the video and it was full of recordings of him on his mobile phone while he was in the kitchen. Besides that, based on the timeframe, the videos were all captured during working hours.At this point, he finally understood what Thomas meant by accepting his fate."Hayden, I don't understand!" Christopher had long anticipated the cause of this entire incident, but he still pretended not to understand anything and he even changed the way he normally addressed Chef Woods to calling him by his name."Don't understand?" How dare he! Almost immediately. Hayden was furious when he heard that Christopher addressed him with his name directly. After touching his shiny forehead, he questioned, "Don't the contents of the video explain themselves?""Using your phone during work hours! Are there any employees like yo
OverboardChristopher was so riled up. Not only had he lost his girlfriend, but he had just now also lost his job.. okay maybe its good he lost Tina, who would want to spend his life with a materialistic woman who only sees the material aspect of life.. but still, Hayden had cost him his job! Someone has to pay for this.“Why are you angry?” seeing Christopher's gloomy expression, Hayden sneered even more to provoke him.“Yeah you should be! You are now unemployed because of me and I stole your girlfriend. How could you not be angry! But what's the use of being mad at this point?” Hayden purposely paused when he was talking after a long while he continued.“What can you change? In the end you are just a mere kitchen helper who cuts potatoes and washes the dishes! you are a good-for-nothing! How could you compare to me! Christopher it's not that I'm purposely going against you, but someone like you would never become a chef!”'Never become a chef!''Never becume a chef!'What Hayden sa
Uncaring attitudeThere was an unwritten rule in the culinary world that the chef had the final say in the kitchen. As a matter of fact, it was precisely because of this that Luna had initially agreed to Hayden's request to fire Christopher. After all, Christopher did work under Hayden and therefore Hayden had the right to. However, she did not expect that there was actually more to this situation than met the eye. As for Tina's work experience as the captain in the five-star hotel. Luna reckoned she would need to verify it further now."Ms Sears, I-"Luna's voice was not loud, but it exerted a force against Hayden.He opened his mouth as if trying to explain something, but he was immediately interrupted by her again. She said,"Enough.You don't have to say anymore. After all, the both of you were colleagues who have been working together for three years. There is absolutely no need to step out of bounds, and you should know when to stop. Forget the challenge: let's not stab people in
The JokerThis lottery system seemed pretty similar to the lotteries in many online games. He had reason to believe that there were great things to be drawn in this 'other' area-even the legendary suit that he had used on his character when he used to play online games in college was drawn from a lottery!There is only one chance. Heavens, I ask for your blessing, Christopher silently prayed.Gulping, he pressed the 'draw' button at once.Whoosh!The roulette began to turn and at the same time, Christopher's heart was beating like a drum in his chest. His breathing became rapid and his palms started to sweat.Those few seconds felt like years toChristopher. He swore in his twenty-plus years of living that he had never felt as nervous as he did right then.As the roulette began to slow down, he knew the results were about to come up. In an instant,he held his breath.Please!It was hard to say if it was becauseChristopher's life seemed too miserable after he was broken up with and un
