Christopher 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 head chef of
Hayden'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 you? You're
Christopher 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 said continu
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
