The Billionaire's Chef

Chapter 44

Zia Knight POV

The business meeting ended with me leaving before the others. I somehow felt suffocated. Somewhen after everyone ate and gave their insight and feedback on the food and to what they wish to add onto their menu, I had a mental blowup. 

By mental blowup I meant I wasn't in the zone and I felt overwhelm since I was mixing business with personal matter. This is very unlike me. I was never one to think of business and personal matter at once and got lost in my own thought and ended up in a dark abyss side of my mind. 

I was blank... once I realised I wasn't able to focus on further discussion on the project I felt a heavy load in me that I need to leave.. to release the thought and everything that is suffocating me. 

So I left.. left the meeting room, left the office and went to my childhood home... my safety nest. 

"Mom... I'm home!" I shouted out loud to announce my presence. 

I didn't wait to hear her reply and instead went straight to my comfort zone where I can always be in control .. the kitchen.

I look at the time and started to think of a menu for foods that everyone including the twins, as well as Derek and Zade would like or can eat. I thought of several, and challenge myself to make them all on time. I quickly texted the twins to pick up Derek and Zade once their meeting is done and immediately started on my cooking. 

I decided to go for 'Sicilian dinner' as my theme. I started with preparing for steak grilled in Sicilian style, and Creamy Skillet chicken cacciatore. 

I then moved on to preparing for Stuffed squid and Salmon with garlic mushroom before I began my preparation for Pasta Allan Norma with eggplant, tomatoes and ricotta salata.
