“Excuse me!” Marissa got to her feet when she noticed Sophia’s incoming call. Her friend must be dying to know the details.
“Where are you going? To bribe Mr. Joseph?” The lady who made her fall followed her boldly outside the room.
What? Is she crazy?
Marissa looked at the blond woman still wearing the MSin’s apron above her mini dress, showing off her long legs.
“Yes, you are right,” Marissa passed her a fake smile, “Don’t you know?” She batted her eyelashes just like the blond woman did a few minutes ago, “I’m planning to become a billionaire by bribing people. Not by my cooking business…” Marissa was about to step away when the next statement from the blonde’s mouth made her
freeze.
“That’s what Amir told me,” She smirked, and Marissa didn’t know
what to do. So, Amir sent her?
He sent her after Marissa to keep an eye on her? How dare he?
She asked her in a breathless whisper, “You know Amir?”
“Yes, I do,” There was a proud grin on the blonde’s face, “I’m his fiancée,” she waved her left hand before Marissa’s eyes, showing off her diamond ring.
Marissa was tongue tied for a moment. The cheap man was
engaged, and still, he not only attempted to invite Marissa on a date but also tried to abuse Akari.

That shameless prick!
“What a low–life fiancé you have got!” Marissa hissed at the woman whose grin vanished when heard Marissa speaking through clenched teeth, “No wonder. You two are suitable for each other. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to take this call.”
Without waiting for her response, she received the call, “Yes, Sophie. Just give me a minute,” she quickly put some distance between herself and that vile woman.
She would teach this woman and her good–for–nothing fiancé a good lesson. Gritting her teeth, she glued the phone against her
ear,
“Sophie!”
“How was it girl? Everyone here is getting crazy. I’m putting you on speaker. What’s the result?” Sophie asked her impatiently.
“They haven’t announced it yet, Sophie. But something bad happened,” she could hear gasps from the other side.
“Why? What happened?”
“Due to a woman’s jealousy, I dropped my dishes on the floor.”
“What!” there were now loud chattering sounds in the background. Everyone gathered in her kitchen was concerned.
“Yeah. The good thing is Fajita and Baklava stayed safe. The judges tasted it and decided to judge me on those two dishes. They are ready to give me a fair chance.”
“Oh, Marissa. Fingers crossed. We are waiting for the results impatiently.”

“I know, honey. Ask everyone to pray hard. I need this contract to teach a lesson to Amir.”
There was surprise in Sophia’s voice, “Now what has Amir got to do with these contracts?”
“I’ll tell you later, Sophie,” she looked over her shoulder, “I think I need to go back,” after quick goodbyes, she disconnected the call and walked back to the room where other participants were waiting for the results.
Sophia could feel her heart racing in her chest. Though the chances of her selection were almost slim. 2
She found the blonde’s eyes on herself, but she chose to ignore. her.
When the door opened to the conference room, all the participants straightened in their seats.
Joseph looked at all of them and then gave a reassuring smile, “We have got the results, and the good thing is… we loved your food so much that we chose four participants for our event instead of
three.”
A loud cheer erupted and all of them clapped excitedly.
“Those who couldn’t make it, let me tell you. We liked your food. So maybe next time you people can join us for our next event.”
He then turned to Dean who was standing behind him and took some large envelopes from him, “We are offering certificates to those who won’t make it today. Showing these certificates will give you more lucrative opportunities in the market. So, it’s a win–win
situation.”

Another round of clap made him quiet.
“So, the winners are,” Joseph paused for a moment, “Delish Delights!”
The blonde who was standing in the corner jumped with joy.
“Woohoo!” she threw her fist in the air when everybody clapped.
“The next is… Eggs and Sandwiches…” he then spoke again, “And here comes, Xander’s Homestyle caterers!”
Marissa stood up with uncertainty on her face. She thought that they gave her a fair chance just for the sake of it. However, she wasn’t expecting this win.
“Mr. Joseph!” the blonde whose name was Kate raised her hand, “How come she is selected? Her dishes fell on the floor, and you judged her based on two dishes?”
“Wasn’t it an accident?” Joseph raised a challenging eyebrow in her direction.
“Yeah. It might be. Or…” Kate rolled her eyes meaningfully, “it might be intentional too.” She shrugged taking everyone by surprise including Marissa.
“What do you mean?” One of the participants spoke while Marissa was busy suppressing her rage.
“What I mean to say is… what If those dishes were dropped. intentionally so that nobody could taste them. She brought them here, showed them to everyone, and dropped them just like that. Being a chef, can’t make her this clumsy.”
There was a deafening silence in the room.

Joseph cleared his throat and nodded at Kate, “You are right. First thing is first. We judged you fairly and you all tasted her food. I don’t think anyone who can prepare Fajita and Baklava so perfectly can’t cook the other two dishes…”
“Secondly, to be fair and square we chose four participants, not three. Last but not least,” he smiled, “we have a camera installed in
this room. If you are challenging us, then we would happily check the recording and see if she dropped them, or she was pushed.”
That made Kate’s face go pale.
“Umm. I mean…”
“Ms. Kate. Tell us. Do you still want to be fair and square? Because
after looking at the CCTV clips if we’ll find anyone involved in it then he or she will not only be blacklisted but also this person won’t get a job anywhere else in Kanderton. So, the choice is Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
yours.”
After the announcement, Joseph left, leaving behind a happy crowd and a panicked Kate.
Marissa didn’t show her any side smirks, and tried to be down to earth. She just got a chance to prove herself and she was willing to use all her strength to make her impression.
It was a stepping stone for building her reputation.
After saying congratulations, everyone left except the four participants. Dean was distributing the contracts to get them signed, meanwhile, Marissa sent a quick message to her friend.
“We have got the contract! Yayyy!”

After the contract signing, they were waiting to meet the CEO.
“I have never seen the CEO of MSin Industries,” a man whose name was Shang–chi said with a tired smile.
“You look exhausted!” Marissa inquired and he nodded with a sheepish smile.
“Yeah. First time dad to a one–week–old newly born. It was hard to cook food after staying awake throughout the night… But I did it.”
Marissa felt proud of him.
“I have a hunch,” Kate said in a suspicious tone, “The CEO must be drop–dead gorgeous. That’s the reason he rarely shows himself.”
All the others chuckled at the absurd explanation.
“Come on, folks,” Dean’s head appeared in the doorway, “Our CEO is waiting for you.”
They all stood up chattering to each other and entered the VIP elevator. Once they stepped on the floor that was reserved for only high–designation people, they all gasped in shock.
“Oh, my my. This is classy!” Kate whispered more to herself. They all walked up to the door and waited when Dean opened the door for them and moved aside, gesturing all of them to enter.
The moment they went inside, Marissa froze and felt her breath
hitch in her throat.
No! No! This can’t be possible. It is all a dream. This is not him.
She was chanting the words in her head again and again because
