Dimitri's house^

Dimitri's POV:

"Mum?" I opened the door to see mum cooking in the kitchen while dancing to the music.

"You're back!" She chirped as she jumped on me, pulling me into her gigantic hug.

"What are you doing here? Where's Fred?" She gave me the do-you-not-have-any-eyes look before shrugging cooly.

"I'm cooking obviously. Fred? Oh, I sacked him."

"What?! Why? He's a good cook."

"I know but he's getting old. I want him to spend more time with his family instead of staying here staring at the boring walls. Also, don't worry. I gave him a million for feeding you so well. I don't take advantage of kind souls like him."

"Oh...then who's going to cook for me?"

"I'm hiring a new cook for you of course. Meanwhile, I'll be the one cooking for you. I can't trust you without a cook." She said in a duh tone as she went back to whatever she was cooking.

"I'm not 5 mum." I whined. She always treat me like a kid.

"Yeah. You're 2." Urgh...her and her fast thinking mind. I can't even think of remarks like that that fast.

"Mummmm..."

"Oh shut. Stop being so whiny.  Go and have a bath. Dinner will be done by then." She ordered as she push me out of the kitchen.

"Yes Madam!" I mock saluted her before marching upstairs while she rambled about me being childish. Hey...I did it to entertain you and you call me childish? How ungrateful...

"Mhmmm! This is delicious! I miss your cooking." I moaned as the flavors burst in my mouth. Mum's lobster pasta is the best! Delicious!

"My cooking only? How can you be so cruel?! Such a son I have here. You seriously hurt my feelings. " Mum tried to act hurt but failed when she started grinning.

"Oh ya, you're new cook will be chosen by the following day. I'll notify you once I've confirmed the person. "

"Okay." I don't doubt her taste. She's a great cook after all so her the cooks she choose never failed in pleasing my taste buds.

Dimitri's Mum^

Ray's POV:

"You have a letter Ray!" I stared weirdly at Chris as he waved the letter in front of me. Who even sent that? The last time I received a letter was like years ago.

Why must he so jumpy in the morning? Is someone receiving a letter something to be overjoyed about?

Taking it from him, I opened it to see a letter saying that I'm short-listed and that I must meet the person tomorrow for an interview?! What is this about?

"So? What does it say?"

"It says that I'm short-listed for something?"

"Oh! I forgot to tell you that I've signed you up to be someone's personal chef? Oops?" He laughed guiltily while scratching his head.

"What? Why did you even do that?!"

"You're jobless if you forgot. So I was searching through what jobs are available for us and found that for you. So I sent in your resume and tada? Please don't kill me. I'm too young too die."

"Shut up dick head. Thanks then. I don't have to waste time finding a job."

"So you're accepting the job?"

"I'm short-listed. Not confirmed yet. I have to go for the interview at 3 later."

"Wish you luck!" He whooped as he belly-flopped onto the sofa.

"Thanks. What about you though?"

"I've applied to be a car engineer but still no reply for now." He shrugged as he scrolled through the TV channels to stop at a channel playing Despicable Me 3. Typical Chris.

"I'm going out now. The place is an hour's ride away from here."

"Okay. I'll be making dinner so don't eat out."

  ~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡ 

Wow...I feel so out of place. This is like a paradise for rich people. Taking out my phone, I dialed the number on the letter as I lingered outside the shop.

"Hello? Erm, I'm here already. Where are you?"

"I'm right at the back of the cafe. I have wavy brown hair of different shades."

"Okay. I'll be right there." 

Walking into the cafe, I spotted a lady with hair similar to what the person in the phone said and walked over to her immediately. Looking up at me, she smiled warmly before inviting me to have a sit.

"You're Ray, right?"

"Yes, Madam."

"Call me Joyce. So I assume you know why you're called here. I'm going to ask you a few questions and you have to reply truthfully. Okay?" Nodding seriously, she began with her questions.

  ~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡ 

"Last question, why do you cook?"

"I cook because of my mum. She ignited my love for baking and cooking. She said that food can touch people's heart and I believe that that's true. I love the way how my customers' eyes light up in delight and how they always ask for seconds after finishing their first plate. I also believe that food can cheer one up no matter how sad they are. "

"Okay. You're hired." She said casually as she place a piece of paper in front of me. "These are what you are expected to do and expected to receive."

'1. You have to make three meals a day for a person. Always change your dishes daily.

2. You are to live in a house which will be provided for you for convenience sake.  All bills are taken care off so all you have to do is just stay in there and cook whenever you're needed to.

3.Money will be given to you to buy whatever you need for yourself and the ingredients you need to use. You will have a daily allowance of 2 hundred dollars and additional hundred for ingredients. You can keep any remaining cash.

4.Breakfast must be made by 7, lunch by 1 and dinner by 7. You are to prepare the meals at your house and deliver the food to the main house by those timings.'

Wow. Is she really paying me so much?! This is like a dream job come true.

"So, do you agree?"

"Um, sorry but can I ask you somethings?" 

"Sure."

"Can I have my friend move in with me too as currently, we're living in a rented flat together and he has no one else to go to and can I hold cooking/baking lessons in the house for housewives who are interested?"  She pondered about it for a while before agreeing without comments.

"Okay."

"For both? Really?"

"Yes. Really." She chuckled in amusement as she nodded firmly.

"Thank you so much Joyce! I'll do my best!"

"Great. You will move in by tonight and start your job tomorrow." Nodding eagerly, I sped back home to find Chris to tell him the good news. 

I can't believe my luck turned out to be so good after that incident. I must really thank Chris for this.
