Mari and Elena are both done plating their desserts and was about to go outside the kitchen to present their desserts in front of the three owners. Mari's dessert has an ice cream that is why she didn't include it yet on her plate but instead, she would scoop it once it is her turn.
"Since we started with Elena a while ago, we will start with Mari this time. So Mari please present to us your dish" said Gino who is now eyeing the desserts that are in his trainees' cart or trolley. Mari nodded when she heard Gino asking her to present her dish in which she did so. Mari scoop her ice cream and place it on the side of her dessert and after that, she places some nuts on top of the ice cream. She then gave each of the owners a plate of their own to taste.

Lily is also good friends with Elena, she also likes being with Mari since they can talk about pastry all the time as they both love making desserts. She treats Elena as her friend but her treatment with Mari is completely different since they became much closer after Mari was assigned to the pastry station. At first, she treats Mari like her little sister but when she saw how much Mari can relate to h
Everyone arrived at the house of Paul and at the same time the food that he ordered also arrived. Some of them started playing Beer pong while the others just sit in one side and chat with whatever topic they could think of. When Lucas arrive, he found them all in the living room chatting and laughing as they talk about things unrelated to their work. None of them wanted to talk about anything related to cooking nor working inside the kitchen since they do it almost every day."So Mari, Do you have a boyfriend? Or is Lucas your boyfriend?" asked Elena, her question gain the attention of almost everyone and that includes Lucas who just arrived. Lucas was getting his food when he heard the question of Elena and there he thought that is the main question that everyone wanted to know."What? How did you get to that conclusion?" Mari laughs a little when she answers Elena with a question."Well, I notice that you would always ride Lucas's car whenever you
It was already the third week of the month and there is only one week left until the competition between Mari and Elena ended. The restaurant had been very busy ever since the contest started, a lot of the guests wanted to vote for their favorite dish. Some of them repeatedly came back not just to vote but also to eat with their friends and family whom they came with. The competition attracted a lot more guests than expected and that also gave the restaurant's popularity a boost. Because of this, there was never a day without any reservations, this even includes the branches of 'LOIS' although they don't serve the dishes of Mari and Elena the staff there were aware of the effect of the competition going on the main branch. ---- Somewhere in one of the big company building in the city was the Ro Enterprise, on top of the building was the CEO's office.

After the servers took the orders of Dennis, his sister, and the Davis siblings, they left them to give the order to the kitchen. While waiting for their order, one of the servers came back to give the catering menu. Dennis was the first one to browse the menu while his sister who was supposed to browse it was having a fun chat with her friend Lilian and her brother."Brother Liam, you still don't have a girlfriend right?" asked Shane to Liam"That's right, your brother and I are still very single, right Dennis?" Liam answer Shane whom he sees as a little sister too. Dennis only nodded to him while he continued to look at the menu."What is your type of woman?""Shane, I already know what my brother would answer to your question, want me to tell you?" said Lilian who was teasing her brother at the same time. Liam on the other hand just smiles and giggle in amusement at what his little sister is going to say."really! Tell me!""brother Liam
Everyone was looking at the door when they heard a sudden knock that distracted them from saying something to Elena who just introduced herself. As the person who knocks came inside the room, they saw a woman wearing a chef's uniform like Elena. Dennis and Liam seem to have their eyes lock on her and they were both curious to know who she is."Oh! Mari, are you done with the orders?" asked Chef Gino who asked Mari that just came inside the private room. He did ask the other to come to that room as soon as she is done with the order that she was doing at that time. Once done she can ask someone to take over for a little while."Yes chef, although I need to get back as soon as possible cause I have a lot of orders coming and Lucas was helping out as well since it is a little bit too much for one to handle," said Mari as she walks towards the direction of chef Gino and Elena."I see, very well. Everyone I would like to introduce to you all Mari Sanchez, the one who
After Mari and Elena left the private room, chef Gino was invited to sit with Shane and the others to talk about something. He wanted to decline the offer but they all insisted and that put him in the spot that is why he reluctantly sat after a few minutes later."Chef Gino, can the restaurant hold a large event?" asked Dennis who started the conversation."Yes, a few months ago we had a 300 pax of guest for a wedding reception, it was held during the evening. Morning of that day we also had a 50 pax of guests for a lunch meeting of one company around the city. The first floor can hold for at least 500 pax of guests that is why the whole restaurant was capable of holding big events. Do you want to see our catering menu?" Since Gino was one of the co-owner of the restaurant that he knew about the number of guests that the restaurant can accommodate when it comes to events."I already saw your catering menu, it is such a rare thing to see a fine dining restaurant
A week had passed since that day and it was the last day of the competition between Mari and Elena. The lunch service was over and two servers who were done taking their breaks were called by the manager and to go to Allan's office who was at the restaurant for that day. He wants to be the one to see which one will win the best main entrée and best dessert. That is why he will overlook the counting of votes in each box, he had instructed the manager to call two servers that are free to count the votes.Inside the office of Allan were manager Jill and two female servers that were called by Jill a while ago. Allan knew that the boxes were too heavy for a female to lift that is why he had asked some of the male servers to bring those boxes to his office."Alright, let's start counting the votes of Elena first, maybe we can begin with her main entrée box after that we can proceed with the dessert. Jill here's the key, you can open the box so that the two of t
While everyone is having fun teasing Mari, Allan walks down the stairs and smiles at the sight of his employees having fun. It is only Elena who is feeling tense with all the waiting and anger that her rival was not feeling anything like her. She wanted to shout at everyone having fun except her, even her friends were laughing together with the rest of the group."Looks like everyone is having fun," said Allan who just arrive beside his husband, Michel who hug and kiss him. All the employees were used to the PDA(public display of affection) of the couple so it was like normal days for them to see the two hug or kiss each other."Hi hon, do you have the results?" asked Michel"Yup! Now then, are you both ready to know the results?" Allan looks at Mari and Elena. The two nodded at the same time answered 'Yes' to Allan, they have been wanting to know the outcome of their competition.Elena was confident that she can win the best main entrée dish
