MY FAIR LADY (Author's Reco)

LA MAISON

"Merci beaucoup for the trust and support. We just won as a nation and we will fight as one in every challenge Republique Francaise will face.
Stay healthy. Please. And be excited this month. All of us will be vaccinated against the virus. This is not a promise. But this an order.
Good day and bois ton café!"

Lisa was just announced as the new and the youngest President of the Republic of France! People especially the youth have high hopes on her. She is really promising. And she never had a shortcoming as the Prime Minister for four years. The people inside the palace were almost crying because of joy. Lisa got 90% of votes from people over her opponent.

Lisa walked out of the Elysee Palace right after her thank you speech.

All the cameras and press are shooting her with shots and questions. But Lisa steadily walked towards her car until she got in.

"Get a billion from my account. Get a million from the government fund. Buy the number of vaccines we all need. And while we're waiting, gather all the homeless and give them a place to live in. Have their health checked. Let me approve your prospect place to build houses for them. Collect all the jobless and give them jobs asap. I don't care how much it will cost. Take it from my personal money if we lack from the fund, I don't care. I don't want to cry over a problem of this nation anymore. We all deserve to live. Lastly, fire all the corrupt officials from the higher state. Transfer them to where they won't be able to steal from the government funds."
Lisa ordered and Jisoo noted every command she said. So swift! Planned.

You might be wondering why Lisa is filthy rich.
When she's only a Prime Minister once and just elected as the President. So where did she get her money?

Well, let's say Lisa is just the only child of the world's biggest jewelers, Pierre and Mary Manoban. French Jewelers who are known suppliers of best quality of golds and diamonds all over the world. Aside from that, Lisa put up her own chains of coffee shops and restaurants in France and the whole Great Britain at the age of 20 when she finished her business and economic course.

Then why she became a Prime Minister?

Lisa has been active on charity works since she was in high school and she even became one of UN Ambassadors since she was young.

Sounds too reputable and well-respected?

I tell you...

Every person has his or her dirty little secret and a cute monster inside a person's sanctuary.

She is still human.

JENNIE

"God, I never expected these number of people would dine in today! Double time, guys!
Doube time!!!"
I said as I am already helping in the kitchen cutting and cooking the ingredients because we're still flooded with customers and it's already 9pm!

"What do you expect, Chef? The boss is elected as our new French President. People are rejoicing. And they would really come here because La Maison is President Lisa Manoban's!"
Carter said and I am surprised. Why am I now aware?

"Chef Jennie, the President wants to meet you. She's at the private function room upstairs."
The manager called me up from the kitchen and I became nervous in an instant.

"I'm coming! God. Why didn't you inform me that the President is here? What food did we serve to her?"
I asked.

"Your boeuf bourguignon, Chef."
Shit. Yeah. I was the one who cooked it.

Fuck.

I hope I didn't fuck up.
I hope she has no allergy with nuts. That dish musn't have nuts, I just experimented.

My knees are shaking upon walking. Seriously, I am nervous.

I noticed her advisor Kim Jisoo is already at the door. Probably waiting for me.

"Here you are. I just came out. She doesn't want others to hear your conversation."
She told me.

"Didn't she like it?"
I asked her.

"Why don't you ask her inside?"
She said. And fuck, I became more nervous. I am sweating.

"Chef?"
Jisoo called me again before I twisted the knob.

"Be careful. I am 100% sure, that look of yours, you are surely her type. But don't worry. The President doesn't bite. She doesn't know how to."
She said and winked at me.

I took a deep breath and entered the room.

There she is eating my food like a kid.

"Good evening, Master Chef."

"Good evening, President LM. I hope you like the food. Just let me know if you want something more."
I said shyly.

I noticed she closed her eyes.

"What can you offer me for dessert?"
Still not opening her eyes. But she just licked to wet her lip.

"Our classic burnt Creme Brulee, Pres. I specially
did the glaze. Not to sweet and..."
I said and moved closer to her table as I place the dessert near her but she cut me.

"But your voice is too sweet to handle."
She said in a serious tone and I am shocked.

"Hmmm?"
I reacted.

She opened her eyes and looked at me.

Our eyes met and we don't fucking know why we have been darted to each other for like a minute straight.

Then suddenly she broke our stares and she looks nervous.

I took a glass at the side and put a lemon water in it and placed on her table.

She looked at me and I did look at her too.
I smiled at her but she remained serious.

"I–I called you because–. Take a seat."
She ordered and of course, I did.

"To say that you are creating a masterpiece on our food. Thank you!"
She said and I smiled.

"Thank you for appreciating my recipe, President. Rest assured we will do well more in the kitchen."
I said and stood up.
I bowed down to her and left the room.

The moment I went home, I excitedly talked to Rosé and Hyeri.

"Would you believe? I got a face to face interaction with the President! God!!! She liked my recipes! And– and she has a pair of beautiful light brown eyes that you'll find yourself being drowned in her spell when you keep staring at those."
I told them while they are having dinner at the balcony of our apartment and I am looking at the Eiffel tower and the cityscapes behind.

"Jennie, we thought you said she's not that attractive last time?"
Hyeri asked.
