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 he
Free MealHayden'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 y
missionaryChristopher 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
UnawaresThere 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
ClownThis 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 unemplo
Atlas“Atlas!” an angry lady's voice could be heard even from a mile away. This shout came from the Erikson family mansion. The Erikson has been a well respected family in Vasterly Nation due to one simple fact; Wealth.Atlas Parker, orphaned at a young age but worked double shifts at a restaurant to pay his intuition. He had been fortunate, or rather unfortunate to once run into Cheyenne Erikson who had come into the restaurant to escape from a few thugs. Atlas didn't know what had transpired or why she was being pursued by thugs, but he knew he had to do something, so hid her inside the kitchen and pretended nothing happened. When the coast was clear, Cheyenne Erikson came out and thanked him. That simple act had attracted her to him. They dated for a few weeks, he never knew exactly who she was until one fateful night when they were attacked by thugs whose aim was to pressure Cheyenne to accept the marriage proposal of the young master of the Michaelson family; Chador.Cheyenne ha

The once ironed white shirt was now bloody and muddy. It had already been a few minutes since the deed was done, yet no one came to take a look. A life was snuffed out just like that. But in that ominous, sorrowful situation, a miraculous thing was happening...

Disdain turn shock[VERSALEEN TREAT UPPER RESTAURANT. VISTASKRIS NATION]The woman with a melon-seeded face, black hair and an appearance of 85 points, casually glanced at Atlas who was seated on the opposite side, drinking coffee, a look of disdain appeared on her face.For a while, the woman used a somewhat arrogant tone and said;“So this is all you can afford now? It is a pity that you have been reduced to such state. If you are hungry, I can order better food for you, besides I earn an annual salary of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).”Although Atlas was a bit handsome, Helen could not help but have a look of disdain on her face.
