9. Interns

GANGA'S POV

"Everyone meet the new members," the chef said, the five interns standing like soldiers beside her.

"This is David Brook," she said. The first guy was Caucasian, with brown hair and blue eyes. He looked confident, and he stood tall, hands crossed, as he scanned the kitchen.

"This is Elijha Smith." This guy looked African decent, had a had a clean shave, a buzz cut, and glasses.

"And now, this is Shu-fen?" She asked, looking at a girl who was the tiniest among them as she nodded. She had a bowl cut and looked absolutely adorable.

"This is Sarah," She was tall, had dark brown curly hair, and had a square face. She flashed a smile as she did a tiny wave.

"And lastly, this is Zoya." She had big plum lips and was the second shortest with blonde hair.

I felt Lucas nudge me as he moved his eyes towards Sumaira. I looked in the direction and tried not to laugh.

It looks like someone is awe-struck.

"Psst"

I looked at Lucas as he bent down and whispered.

"5 dollars, she fell for Sarah," he said as I shook my head.

"Nah, it's Zoya."

"Bruh, be for real; look at her; she is definitely eyeing Sarah," he said as I looked at him, annoyed.

"Ok, David and Zoya, work on a beetroot risoto," the chef instructed.

"Lucas and Elijah, 2 chocolate souffles," she instructed as the two nodded.

"Sumaira and Sarah, French onion soup!"

"Yes, chef," The two responded in unison.

"Ganga and Shu-fen, fillet the salmon and make honey garlic salmon."

"Yes, chef!"

I saw Shu-fen come in my direction. I smiled as I picked up the salmon and gave her the proper knife.

"You know how to fillet a fish?" I asked as she nodded.

"Want to try?" I asked as she nodded again. I stepped back, watching her clean the knife as she began cutting around the gills. She looked at me after the first cut, worried as I nodded, showing her a thumbs up sign.

Her eyes lit up as she continued to work through the fish, cutting it slowly, which was alright, but I was worried the Mahi would scold us for being slow.

"Is it okay?" Shu-fen asked as I nodded.

"Amazing, good job!" I said as she smiled shyly.

"Let's work on the marinating," I said as she nodded.

She collected the spices as I sliced a lemon and placed them at the bottom of the container.

"Done!" She said, showing me the marinade as I looked at it carefully and nodded.

"Good job, it looks good!" I complimented her; the girl looked so happy, which made me happy. We marinated the fish and covered it.

"Are you both done with the marinating?" The chef asked, coming out of nowhere as I flinched.

"Yes, chef!"

"Shu-fen, working with Louis, and now ZOYA, come here!" She shouted, and Zoya rushed towards us, looking scared.

"Yes, chef?"

"You and Ganga work on lamb chops, Jenny, lamb sauce," she ordered as the three of us shouted.
