That was our signal to go on stage. I adjusted the toque blanche on the head. I braced myself before covering my dish with stainless steel cloche. The three came out first. But I saw Glaiza's mocking smirk again. I just ignored that and walked towards the stage where everyone was waiting for us.
"Here they are!"
We lined up on the stage, in front of the eight respective judges who are professionals in the food industry. I gasped when I saw how many people were there. While the emcee was busy talking, my eyes roamed around in the pool of people.
Soon, I spotted them. I couldn't help but smile when I saw how big the banner Kuya Markus and Livius were holding. They were all there as friends. Mom and Dad are just close to them. Neri was also close to them with her own banner while cheering.
