It has been a week since Mari was discharged from the hospital and was told to take two weeks off so that she can focus on her recovery. Her cousin Malia also took two weeks off, that way she could accompany her cousin until the end of her day off. Mari already had her stitches removed two days ago when she had to go back to the hospital for her check-up as well.That day, she had decided to tour the city with her cousin who wanted to explore a place that was new to her. She got the advice of Dr. Brown to at least walk around from time to time, a little exercise won't be bad for her health but rather it would be good for her body too. Malia also wanted to see the city where her cousin works and if possible she also wanted to see the restaurant too. She usually does her work during the night thus she got a lot of time to tour around with Mari."Kambal, do you want to eat lunch at our restaurant? We are near it so we might as well visit the place and eat there too, it's my treat don't w
Somewhere inside the mansion of Davis Mansion, two women are talking about something while they stay near the staircase of the main house. There was nobody around them to witness what will happen next nor to hear what they are talking about."You know what Mari, Liam never loves you. He is only taking responsibility for you since he got you pregnant. Auntie and Uncle are just pretending to be nice to you so I think it is time for you to wake up and stop being so delusional of having what is mine" said the blond hair lady named Elizabeth."Whether Liam is lying to me or not, I will be the one to decide what I will do. Also, I know how to tell if a person is pretending to be nice to me or not, and as far as I know, both Auntie and Uncle truly like me for their son. Plus I am carrying in my womb their grandchild so how is it that they don't like me? I think it is you who is being delusional Ms. Elizabeth since Liam did mention to me that he never had feelings towards you.
It has been two weeks since Mari started working inside the kitchen of 'LOIS', she is currently stationed at the salad bar or cold station. Their chef informed her that every month, Mari will be shifted into another station until she was able to rotate in all of the stations of the kitchen. He wanted her to know every station that is inside the kitchen so that if one station ever needs one person to help them out, Mari is one of those people who can help. Mari agreed to that since she already had some experience being an all-rounder in the kitchen. During her internship in Country U, she was the only intern who got to experience every station of the kitchen. Even though she doesn't know why she was always assigned to different stations at that time she just thinks positively by saying to herself that it is a good experience to know every station of the kitchen. Thus, being able to experience that again would help her and her boss to know the best station fitted for her."Mari
When Lucas and Mari finished buying their items in the grocery store, the two return to Lucas's car and then left the place after placing all the items inside the car. Since Mari's place is just near the area that it was just a very short ride. Lucas parked his car first so that he could help Mari take her grocery bags to her apartment which is on the fourth floor of the apartment building."Thank you for helping me" Mari thank Lucas when they reach the door of her apartment."It is my pleasure to help you and sorry for teasing you a while ago""teasing me? oh! Do you mean about going out?""yes, it's just that…" Lucas just doesn't know how he would explain to Mari. Yes, he is attracted to Mari but he is not sure yet about how he truly feels for Mari. He doesn't want to take his feelings lightly and later on hurt Mari. He wanted to make sure first that he likes her so much that he would love her and not hurt her."don't worry about it *giggl
A week had passed and it was the day of the big event that the restaurant will be handling. It was the wedding day of one of their loyal VIP guest, which made everyone in the kitchen all busy doing their jobs. However, since the wedding reception would take place around five or six that night that the manager suddenly allowed another reservation for fifty pax for lunch. The guest made a reservation two days before the reservation date. It was a good thing that the main dishes that they asked for were all on the daily menu. It would be a big problem if they asked for a different main dish for the whole pax since it is already too late to order different proteins for the main dish. Vegetables and fruits are a lot easier to order compare to meats and fish that needed a week to order not days. It was already eleven am and the whole kitchen was almost done preparing for the lunch reservation. The whole kitchen had been busy since six in the morning especially the cold station and dessert
While everyone was having fun conversing with one another as they eat their very late dinner. Michel, Allan, and Gino were just standing as they watch them all eat. They talk about the new restaurant that Gino had no idea where it is, they also talk about Gino's wife who is currently pregnant."How is Vanessa doing these days?" asked Michel to Gino"good, she's been craving a lot of different food nowadays and her mood swings are getting worse. She easily got angry at me when I didn't tell her about the new restaurant, which is the fault of your dear wife here who called Nessa about it" Gino pointed at Allan who called Vanessa, Gino's pregnant wife' a few weeks ago about the soft opening of the new restaurant."by the way, since the restaurant would be opening soon, what is the name of it? I never got to help with the whole process of it since I manage almost all the kitchen of 'LOIS' while you train your staff, Michel." They have a total number of four branches
Mari and Elena were called by chef Gino and chef Michel to let them know what will happen to the contest that chef Gino wanted to create. Lucas was beside Mari when the three owners were talking to the two. Elena was enthusiastic to let the chefs notice her since she knew to herself that Mari was able to get noticed even in her simple action. She wanted Mari to know that she is much more superior to her just because she started earlier than Mari, although the two of them have equal standing in terms of chef Gino's sight."Elena, you still have two weeks in the Hot or Meat station right?" asked chef Gino"Yes chef," Elena likes the Hot or Meat station, throughout her experience from her past jobs, she was always working as a line cook of the meat station. Which became her biggest advantage when she was assigned to that station. But aside from being a line cook she got very minimal to no experience to other stations
Michel finally arrives at the main branch of 'LOIS' where the competition that was arranged by Gino is being held. The arrival of Michel was the sign for both Mari and Elena to cook or plate their main entrée. They will need to serve it after 30 minutes, which is why Gino already told them that they could have the proteins pre-cooked ahead of time. Mari's chosen protein is beef while Elena's chosen protein is fish particularly salmon. "Alright, once the two of you are done plating your entrée bring it to the dining area for us to taste. The rest of you can go home or go in the dining area if you want to watch everything that will happen." Said Gino who let the two trainees know that they could start cooking their entrees and side dishes. As well as let the rest of his staff what they can do since their shift is already over. "yes, chef!" replied both Mari and Elena who are now cooking their dish. They would need to have three plated entrées for each of the judges whi
