There 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 back like thi
This 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 unemployed w
At this point, the crowd fell into a stunned silence. As he used his dazzling Dual Wielding skill which seemed almost like a choreographed performance, everyone thought that Christopher's work should at least be of the same level as Hayden's ice toad. However, that didn't seem to be the case.A feeling, one that was indescribable, began to rise in their chests.Tina, on the other hand, had a look that said 'I knew it' as she watched the current situation unfold. Although she was not a chef nor did she know how to cook, she still at least had some idea of what looked good and what didn't. Dual Wielding my ass; what a joke! She thought.Between the two ice sculptures, one was a perfectly sculpted ice toad with extreme resemblance, while the other was merely a pitted egg without any discernible features-there seemed to be no need for comparisons. The results were obvious.Everyone present, too, felt that there was no longer any need to judge. However, Luna was the exception.It was not t
"Well, if you don't say anything.I will have no choice but to assume that you've agreed."Seeing that Christopher hadn't responded for a long time, Luna said again,"Well, then, I'll inform the Human Resources department on your behalf .Go get busy!"After saying that, Luna seemed to really have something to deal with. She took out a document from a folder and began scanning through it.Without saying anything further, Christopher left the office after nodding slightly at Luna. He closed the door behind him gently. Once he left. Luna raised her head to double-check. In fact, there were no documents waiting for her to review. At once, she threw aside the documents and took out her mobile phone to make a call."Hi, big sis, what made you call?" As soon as the call connected, an adorable female voice came from the speaker. Judging from her tone, she was young."Big sis?" Hearing how this lady addressed her.she merely let out a chuckle."So I'm big sis to you now?""Well, not really, but
[Truth Juice allows the consumer to only speak of the truth. Its effect lasts for 30 minutes. With pulps and fruit chunks, it is best consumed chilled."Those words were printed on the alloy can as the introduction of the Truth Juice.]"They even threw in something funny. But why isn't it something that gives you special skills of some sort?"Reading the introduction of the product. Christopher couldn't help but feel disappointed. The prize that he imagined was supposed to be on par with exclusive techniques like Dual Wielding. It's still better than nothing. At least that was how he consoled himself as he bagged the Truth Juice.Arriving at the station, he kept the juice well and put his phone into his pocket before alighting the public transport.The single apartment that he rented was located among a number of low-rise buildings which made up a residential area. In this area,there were all sorts of people, most of whom were in a similar situation as Christopher's; they were broke pe
"What do you want? Christopher said exasperatedly."Pay!" Sean wore an irritated expression before adding."You must pay back!"'Is he trying to blame it on me now?' Christopher thought to himself as he frowned.He was unsure whether or not he caused the button to fall off, but Versace?You must be joking!Although Christopher didn't have the luxury to wear clothes from that brand, he had seen Luna wearing it various times. Anyone could tell that from the fabric and quality that Sean's shirt was highly likely counterfeit products that were often sold in roadside stalls. 200 bucks was the ceiling price for it. Moreover, people who could afford to wear such luxurious brands wouldn't bother about such petty issues.Unwilling to argue with Sean, Christopher simply brushed past him, wanting to walk away.Just as he attempted to do so, Sean grabbed Christopher's collar before saying,"Hey,are you trying to escape?""Listen up you punk! You must pay me back today. Otherwise, believe it or no
Chapter 13 Tve Memorized You'After those words rolled off Sean's tongue. he was on the brink of tears.'Why can't I control my own mouth?! Why can't I control it?! Stop spilling the beans!'When Christopher heard Sean's confession about his sexual disease, he couldn't help himself and laughed out loud.It was unexpected that Sean, who seemed educated and refined with his glasses and all, was such a man.It took Christopher a solid two-minute to grudgingly stop laughing. Wiping off the tears at the corner of his eyes, he pointed at Samantha before he continued to ask."What's your relationship with this girl?"At once, Sean thought to himself, I'm doomed.At the same time, his heart dropped. Obviously, he did not want to answer Christopher's question, but it was beyond his control."There's no relationship between us, but Samantha's mother is a patient at our hospital.""Is she very sick?""It's quite severe. She's still in a coma as we speak.""Then can you help her?""No?"“Why?""T
Looking at Samantha's figure as she left.Christopher smiled to himself. He had a hunch that they were going to meet again."Ding Congratulations, owner! You helped someone who was in need.so you gained 500 thumbs-up!"When his gaze was fixed on her figure,a robotic sound rang in his mind.At once, his heart leapt and he instinctively looked down at his cell phone.He realized that his thumbs-up point that was initially two-digit became 521.It seemed that not only could he earn points from acting cool and showing off, but even lending someone a helping hand worked as well. Nodding to himself,Christopher thought that he was beginning to get a hang of how the Thumbs-Up System worked.The next day,the weather was lovely;it was windy and refreshing.Christopher arrived at The Serenade punctually."Chris is here!"Just as he entered the frontdoor,he heard someone greeting him. It was something that had never happened before.After the Knife Skills competition against Hayden yesterday, a lot o
