Belinda's P. O. V
My heart races swiftly at the sight of the four gentlemen followed by Mr. Next of kin when they walked into the room. I had managed to prepare my dessert on time. They walked around the room looking at the different meals that were displayed by my fellow chefs. Where I was standing, I felt like my legs were about to betray me, I could feel them shake uncontrollably.
I was trying to stabilize them when one of the men touched my table.
"Focus!" I thought to myself
"How can we identify you?" One of them asked.
I looked up and thought of an excuse. "I'm sorry about the ID, I got busy and forgot to carry it along." I lied. I couldn't stop but feel Mr. Next of kin's glare. I gave him "the what is it glare" thinking he would look away but no, that wasn't a good idea. "Did I do wrong by saying that? I'm I being impossive?" I wondered.
However that didn't put me off.
"I'm Belinda Parkers, I'm so delighted to meet you." I added offering my hand out for a formal handshake.
"Nice to meet you as well and on behalf of my team." One of them shook my hand.
"So what is this?" He asked pointing at the dessert I had displayed before them.

It's called Torrone, it's an Italian dessert. This kind of making is really smooth on one's tongue. It's a combination of cream and honey some bit of garnishing and you're good to go. The taste is more like ice cream but the craving you get after one scoop, is beyond that. Try it, I'm confident you'll love it! I took one and handed it over to him.
He scooped a little and posed a bit. We all stared at him as we impatiently waited for his remark.
"You like it?!" I asked him. I couldn't wait for him to tell us.
"Like?! That's an understatement, delicious would be undermining your exclusive skills lady, there are no words that can explain this taste! I must add that Mr. Breyson Heights has got only exclusive chefs." He says this with a smuck on his face.
"Breyson Heights! That's his name? Why do I feel like knowing his name is some kind of treasure, more like an achievement! What is this?! I pinch myself on the left back of my hand.
Awwch! I cry out and everyone turns to look at me, I didn't expect it would hurt this bad.
"Ms. Belinda Parkers are you alright?!" Asks Breyson Heights but with a more concerned voice, Like we've known each other for a long time.
"It's just a scratch, I'm alright thank you sir." I replied. Did Mr. Ego just say that?!
"Mr. Breyson Heights, we are really impressed with your chefs' presentation, especially Parkers'. I don't know how she came about with that but believe me when I say it's a done deal, we are very much ready to do business with you." The gentleman leading them concluded on behalf of the four.
I had never seen Mr. Ego smile, surely I'm surprised to see how happy he is upon hearing the exciting news. Let me also mention that he's got a killer smile, a laugh that is so sexy and contagious, one that amazes you even when you're carrying heavy loads of ploblems like that of the whole world.
"It's our pleasure sir, we look forward to more years of doing business with you and to our customers' greatest satisfaction." Mr. Breyson replied.
"Alright then, we just need to do some paper work and everything will be sealed. Would you come with us to the board room?" Their leader stated as he went to the exit.
"I need you in my office soon after this!" Mr. Breyson Heights commanded and left immediately.
Is this man mentally stable?! Doesn't he need to see a psychiatrist?! A while ago he was all smily, I seriously need a schedule for his mood swings, so I can prepare myself for anything at anytime.
"Well done guys, that's all for me. I will take my leave now. It was a pleasure working with you." I tell the boys and approach the exit.
"A pleasure too!" They reply at once and I turn around to give them a smile before I close the door.
I decide to use the lift, to catch up with Mr. Breyson. Soon as it opens, I press the second floor button and wait for the magic to happen. In a few seconds I'm already at his office.
I knock once and he responds to it quickly. I open the door and our eyes meet immediately. Everything seems to stop for a while, only I and him in the room, I feel strange things in my tammy, things I have no clue about. I try to ignore them but nothing seems to work.
"Ms.Parkers." He called for me.
"Ms. Parkers, Ms. Parkers!" He called me again, more louder than the first time.
"Yes please!" I jumped to his voice.
"You should get your ears checked." He suggested.
"Thank you sir, but I don't need to, I just got distracted." I answered.
"Take a seat." He offered.
I sit carefully, and wait to find out the reason he needed to see me soon after.
"I called you in here to personally thank you for the great performance you did in there. I must say I didn't expect that. You saying you got busy and forgot your ID like you're part of us and not just a substitute, was exceptional, I didn't see that coming. And the presentation of the dessert, from the dressing to the garnishing, everything was absolutely perfect. I was really impressed." He emphasised.
"The pleasure is all mine sir, I appreciate that." I replied.
And for that matter, I want to officially inform you that from now on, you have a place at LA SCOOPERS', you can report whenever you're ready. If you have any inquiries, you're free to ask.
"Thank you sir for believing in me, I'm certain that by the time I leave this company, you won't forget me." I joked twitching my lips.
He laughed to that, my silly joke and I wondered, does he know how beautiful his laugh is?!
"You're so confident of yourself!" He says as he rubbed his chin.
I excused myself and stood up, I accidentally drop some of his stationary to the floor.
I quickly drop to the floor to gather them as I offered my apology. Just as I'm about to get up from the floor I notice my name on some of the papers in his trash can.
Is that my resume?!
Author's note
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Did things just get ugly again, it's like we are about to go back to where we started from. Even I was happy these two were getting along! Shit! I'm bad, right??!
Nothing comes so easily in this world, you got to put in efforts, hardwork, alot of misfortunes will come your way but that doesn't mean you should give up, fight on until you get there. And so does the getting along of these two characters, they've got to put in more efforts! They've got to try harder!
I hope you loved it!
