The Billionaire’s Chef

My journey to fate

“Good Morning Miss , How May I help ‘ He-ello miss “ I heard from a stern Irish looking lady well dressed and composed as she snapped her fingers towards , I quickly realized I’ve been drowned in my world of imagination as it felt like I was in paradise. “ Compose yourself Zina I warned my self and shyly bowed my head towards the lady .

“ Hi I’m Zina, please forgive my manners. I'm here for the vacant job of a cook. She irritatingly looked at me from head to toe with a mocking smirk on her face.She says I’m Amander and I’m the chief maid; I'm sorry you’re late, other applicants are already lined up inside for the interview. Tears immediately welled up my eyes as I try to hold it back she snapped and said “but follow me you can try your luck” I hurriedly followed her down the terrace of the magnificent building as we entered the entrance to the visitors lounge, due to my optimism and anxiety the beautiful scenery and architectural style and beautiful views didn’t matter to me all I wanted was to get this job. As I entered the room filled with 9 beautiful well dressed ladies all lined up for the same position, I was signalled by the chief maid Amander to join the queue .

On the well decorated and ornamented chair was Mrs Samantha Brass , so beautiful and sophisticated in her simple but elegant dress sitting and making observations from the lined up ladies .

“What’s she doing here she asked Amander “

Ma’am she is here for the interview the chief maid quickly answered. She looked at me thoroughly as she was about to make a statement her phone rang ; as Amander gave her the phone as it was a personal call . She stood up to leave as she addressed us “ I have an important meeting to attend , the chief maid will summon my son to finish the interview “.

I couldn’t help but notice her calm demeanour, her charisma and her warm beautiful voice. I was so much impressed that someone in her status would be so calm to us in the lower class . As she left we all patiently waited as a huge tall masculine gentleman walked into the room. He ordered a cup of coffee which was hurriedly prepared.

With his cup of coffee he walked down gently each step commanding respect as he sat over the chair which his mom was previously sitting on.

His piercing blue eyes and chiselled well structured features make him look like a movie star. I couldn’t stop to notice his towering height which made his presence impossible to ignore . Lost in my stupid thoughts I couldn’t hear the words he uttered to us . Still lost drooling over his handsome face , he coughed and introduced himself “ I welcome you all to the Brass Mansion , I am Anders Brass “ he said gently I couldn’t hold myself as I screamed out loud and staggered, I was held by some of the applicants . I shyly and apologetically said I’m sorry as awkward silence overtook the whole room.

“Are you ok miss Anders asked with a sexy smirk on his face towards me “ Yeh- yees I stuttered with a bow as he smiled at me .

Unbelievable, am I dreaming please someone wake me i thought to myself, I can’t believe I’m in the same room with my imaginary boyfriend, the only one I’ve dated and loved all in my thoughts; indeed pictures did not do justice to my crush Anders Brass i felt a wave of emotion as I pray to God not to make this feeling short , I prayed I get favored so I can be closer to my heartbeat .

Anders stood up and walked closer to the ladies as he scanned our appearance one after the other; as he walked to each lady they handed him over their resumes I noticed. “s**t, damn you Zina. I cried gently as I didn't come with a resume or application letter .” As he comes close to me, my heart pounding so hard as I look at his dark hair and piercing gaze on me, he chuckled “ what's your name “ he asked, I'm Zina Coleman I answered and he went back to his seat.

“ can you f*****g say something let me know what's in your mind” I said in my thoughts as I was wondering why he didn't utter any word to me after asking my name, we all stood silently for couple of minutes as he signaled to the maid to offer is a seat. As we all sat down I could sense someone's gaze on me, I gently looked at his directions as I noticed him steal glances at me, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled to himself. I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.

“ Zina, don't be timid and seize your moment as I sing my affirmation song silently in my head “. As we sat, Anders Brass handed a written note to the chief maid who hurriedly left the room and appeared with a tray of covered meals as she ordered the other maids to set a table for us.

It's time for the meal . She said tibus and ushered us to our table. “ Zina today is your best day, meeting your crush and dining with the mighty Brass’s” I chuckled as we all ate in silence. After eating and gushing down our served fresh juice.

Anders stood up with his confident stride and commanding presence drawing our attention to him. “ How's the Meal” he asked everyone one after the other as all the ladies praised the meal. He walked down to my direction and my heart started beating again “ be yourself Zina “ I assured myself. “ How's the meal Zina Coleman “ he said in his voice and the sound of my name on his lips sending cold shivers to my spine, I wanted to give him a hug but I held myself.

I'm waiting for your response, he said as locks eyes with me with a flirting smile. “ firstly thank you for the meal, but I also observed that the meal contains much spices making it impossible for the consumer to savor the natural taste and flavor “ my one penny advice to the cook is to minimize the use of artificial spice and embrace nature ; I rattled without thinking of the environment I was in. I'm sorry I said as I noticed the other applicants look at me in disdain.

Anders Brass in his glory stood up and left the room as he signalled one of the maids to follow him.

“Please wait as the result of the interview will be communicated to you all shortly “ Amander says as we sit back in silence that seems like eternity.
