Working for a perfectionist man was Vior's worst nightmare. She had no choice but to acquiesce, enduring his constant insults and criticisms for four months. It was her internship that kept her there; otherwise, she would have resigned right away. Freedom awaited her in just a few months, and that was the only thing keeping her sane. ... Rowdy, as a head chef couldn't bear any mistake from his workers. Everything had to be perfect, down to the tiniest detail. He had listed a strict set of rules for his employees to follow. These rules posed no problem for most of them, but were a constant hurdle for Vior, his messy match, who always seemed to get on his nerves. Pointing out her every silly mistake became a chore, draining his energy. He hated imperfections. It infuriated him that despite her flaws, she seemed to find happiness, a state that forever eluded him. ... Four months wasn't a long time, yet within that timeframe, they learned a surprising amount from each other. Rowdy, frustrated by Vior's infectious cheer despite her "messiness," and Vior, challenged by Rowdy's relentless standards, both discovered a profound truth: happiness doesn't lie in being flawless, and sometimes, mistakes can be the secret ingredient to success.
