Devouring Time

CHAPTER 1

POV Ivy

Tap-tap-tap as the blades minces mounds of the fresh herb. Sizzle of chicken as he adds the garlic and parsley to it, the room is bursting from aroma of herbs. Everyone is now starting to feel the rumbling of their tummies as he starts to plate his pasta.

"Sautéed pasta with chicken is served" as Chef Chris Torres said while extending his arms towards the camera to give a better look at his master piece.

"Wow Chef, it looks good" Alice said while twisting her fork to dig in and judge whether it taste good or not, but it doesn't matter 'coz all that matter right now is to increase our rating.

"It's scrumptious Chef! You're not just good looking but also a great Chef, so to our loyal viewers you must try this pasta! And to experience the exceptional cooking skills of Chef Chris visit his D'zioso Café at Makati City. Thank you for coming to our show Chef and once again Good morning Ph and have a Good day! See you again next week" Alice added as she continues to eat the pasta.

"And cut" I said, clap noise was echoing from the clapperboard, sign that my job is done.

"Everyone must pack up and I'll go ahead because I still have a meeting with Big boss." I announced to all my staffs who looks so tired from working in this 4 corners of the room.

"Yes Ms.Ivy" my assistant said while still drooling to our guest Chef for today.

Sometimes I don't understand other girls. Drooling over a man? That type of man is a playboy. He will just make you believe that there is true love and after you gave your yes, he will leave you and there you are crying over that worthless man.

"Hmmm - hmmm" I said as I continue to finish my lasagna. I'm here at Fres'co café to grab a quick breakfast. I must admit, that chef is great he made my tummy rumbling.

I'm in love with this café ever since I worked in Sky Network, I always eat here it became my little hideout away from stress. Luckily, it's just a few steps away from the Network. I still have 30 minutes before my meeting with my boss. I think I can have another plate of pasta.

"Chris you should guest on that show again. They gave you more than your TF"

"I bet not, that show is hilarious they don't even have a real audience, I mean all their audience are paid! Their Director doesn't know how to smile too. I bet they have a good rating this morning due to my guesting"

I overheard from the guy behind my back. 'Is he talking about my SHOW?!' I turned around and saw our guest Chef earlier.

"For your information Mister, I don't want you to guest again to my show" I proudly said to them. They were surprised. I can see how Chris tried to talk, but there are no words coming out.

I left them hanging. I don't want to waste my energy to that arrogant guy! How dare him say those words! I don't even want him in my show in the first place, but the management invited him so I don't have a choice. I will make sure my boss will know this, for him to be banned.
