Fair skin, blue eyes, and exceptionally good-looking dark hair. He looked exactly like one of those mafia bosses or CEOs from the cheesy romance stories she used to read in middle school. Except this one wasn't cold. Quite the opposite. He wore a broad smile, and his eyes were warm. "Let me introduce you. This is Chef Toni. His full name is Antonio Napolitano," Dini said. "He's the owner of Toni's Kitchen, and also my team leader when it comes to espionage and the underground world." Toni smiled as he continued firmly shaking Jani's hand.

“Fine. Noon. Don’t be late.” “Perfect,” Damien said, smiling. “See you then.” Just then, the door slid open and a chef rushed in, wearing a black apron, a little out of breath. He bowed deeply, smiling at us; his gaze a little too focused on me. “Ms. Vaughn, Mr. Smith,” he said eagerly. “I hope dinner was to your liking.” Damien chuckled, slapping his shoulder. “This is my cousin, Kenji,” he said proudly. “Head chef here. Best in Tokyo, if you ask me.”

Her chef’s whites were immaculate even at the end of a fourteen-hour shift; her knife work was surgical, her sauces legendary. He was the rising star at Atelier Rouge across town—thirty-one, tattooed forearms peeking from rolled sleeves, dark curls tied back with a bandana, a mouth that smirked more often than it smiled. His food was bold, aggressive, built to provoke. Critics called him a genius; older chefs called him a showboat. Emilia called him an asshole. Publicly. Frequently. Tonight they were forced to share the same space.

Not wanting to see Tiesto, he met with Javi instead. “Young master, this project should be fine now.” Kilian nodded. “Let’s order and eat first.” In the kitchen, Tiesto had learned two new dishes today. The head chef praised him enthusiastically: “Mr. Sterling, you’re the most talented student I’ve ever seen! You pick things up so fast!” “Will we be serving these tonight?” Tiesto asked. The chef looked worried. Tiesto knew the timing on the new dishes wasn’t quite right.

The man who could make an entire boardroom fall silent with one look. The chef hurried into the dining hall. “Yes, Master Zack?” Zack leaned back in his chair. “How old are you?” The chef looked confused. “Fifty-two, Master.” “What are your qualifications?” The poor man's forehead immediately began to glisten with sweat. “I have a diploma in cooking modern cuisine. I've also worked in Michelin-starred restaurants for nearly twenty years.” Zack's forehead creased. His voice rose slightly. “If you're that experienced, how did a twenty-one-year-old girl cook better than you, John?”

I pointed out, and she shook her head as she swallowed down the soup in her mouth with a satisfied groan. "That's different. I am rich, but not Riven's rich. Also, I don't own a personal chef," she said, then leaned toward me, her voice dropping to a low whisper. "Also, I heard you had to be super good to get to cook for Riven since he's very picky. Rumour has it he's killed like ten chefs for cooking mistakes, so this was probably made by the best of the best" Sighing, I picked up the hot cocoa and sipped it. It was good. No, it was more than good. It was like an explosion of decadent cocoa flavor coating my tongue and sending a happy rush through me

To say the least, this was the most expensive and exotic assortment of dishes Elena had beheld in such a great amount. And her first thought was the epic scene when, during the lunch, Chelsea had ridden them all in a rollercoaster and then dropped them suddenly with the statement: "Can I get the recipe for this dish?" Elena smiled. Chelsea, the wild one. Now that she is pregnant... Well, Elena didn't want to think about that now. She turned to the chief chef who was standing aside, overseeing the activities of the swift. He was a confident, middle aged man, who loved to talk about his artistry.

Mia couldn't believe the serendipity of encountering a chef who had worked at Timothy's household just as they casually went out for a meal. "This information is straight from the chef's mouth. Rumor has it that the CEO of the esteemed Barrett Group in Bern City has an exceptionally discriminating palate and is notoriously demanding. "However, these signature dishes prepared by the chef seem to be quite popular." Upon hearing these absurd rumors, Mia suppressed a smile and pressed on, "Besides mentioning Mr. Barrett's discerning and hard-to-please taste, what else did the chef reveal?" She was eager to learn more! As soon as Mia finished speaking, she felt Timothy's subtle gaze on her.

I'm hungry," I said. " I knew you'd, so I made this for you," he said and placed a plate of fried eggs on the table. " You made this?" I asked and he nodded. " The restaurant was the first company I started before doing others, do you know the world's chef that cannot be hired," he said and I shook my head. I'd heard many times about the ghost cook, he surprisingly was the best cook, and no one had ever seen his face. " I'm the one," he said and I gasped shocked at his words. " You're!?" I screamed.
