Lahat ng Kabanata ng FIFTEEN YEARS AGO: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Very early the next morning, Josie got off from her bed and went to the mirror to check herself. Just then, she remembered her phone and she rushed to pick it hurriedly expecting a missed call but to her disappointment, there was none. "I guess he didn't come back home after all."Removing her night gown, she changed into a white camisole and a very short blue Jean. On days like that, she was fond of doing her laundry and tending to her flower pots before preparing for work. Packing her clothes from the laundry basket, she stuffed them into the washing machine and pressed the machine to start working while she walked to the kitchen and came out with a watering can. Filling the watering can with water, she picked her phone and earpiece as she began to play her favourite music. Nodding her head to the beat of the song and lip singing, she placed her phone in the pocket of her blue shorts, picked up the watering can and ope

Hernandez Group's InaugurationHernandez Group's inauguration ceremony was set to last for five days and a general celebration dinner with shareholders and stakeholders of the group was the last event scheduled to round up the ceremony. Roosevelt kitchen was asked to take care of the catering service for the first and last day while Maria's was asked to take care of the second to fourth day. On the first day, the whole employees of Roosevelt kitchen were extremely busy and no one was spared any duty. After serving the guests, Isabella and Rose went into the room they were given and crashed. "Ah!" Isabella exclaimed. "At first, I was jealous that Maria would be catering for three days while we get to do ours for two days, but I never thought the first day would require a lot of work.""We're done for!" Rose exclaimed. "I feel like dying! My legs hurt so much. I hardly rest for a minute before I'm being ca

Hernandez Group's dinner. Mason gathered his juniors together and stared at them for a few seconds before clearing his throat. "Listen well, this is the last day of Hernandez Group's inauguration ceremony. Nothing, I repeat, nothing must go wrong. This is a dinner involving all of Hernandez Group's major shareholders and stakeholders. Do a good job by behaving yourself! Josie, Isabella, Frederick, you're working with Ruby's team. Make sure there are no empty champagne glasses. Always check the guests and refill their glasses.""Yes, senior!" The three of them echoed. "The rest of you are joining Chris' team. They're in charge of the desserts. Make sure you do as you're told.""Yes, senior!"“That will be all for now.” He told them and was about leaving when he suddenly turned back. "And if I hear that anyone is missing again this time around. . ." He paused as he looked at them one by

Hernandez's House. Rita sat at the edge of her bed as she held her phone in anticipation. She stood up and paced round the room. Just then, a call came in. "What happened?" She talked quickly. "Why didn't you contact me since morning?""Don't get your hopes too high." came the caller's voice. "What are you saying?" She asked. "I'm not sure, but I think this search is leading me somewhere." He replied. "What do you mean?""Like I said, I'm not sure, but I'm trying to put the pieces of what I'm finding out together. But still, don't get your hopes too high. It might not be what you expect.""Just make it snappy already. I don't want mother to think I'm taking it slowly. You know how long she had to wait. It mustn't go beyond this year.""Rita." He called softly. "What is it?""Are you fin

Roosevelt Kitchen."One, two, three, go!" Isabella exclaimed. Immediately she shouted, Josie and Rose started chopping ingredients with full speed. "Go Josie, go Rose, go Josie, go Rose." They all cheered as they anticipated the first person to finish up. "It's obvious who the winner is going to be." Frederick whispered. "Who?" Asher asked. "Who else?" Isabella asked. Just then, Josie finished up and slammed the knife on the chopping board. "I won!" She exclaimed as she raised her hand in victory. "Josie Maran! Josie Maran! Josie Maran!""It's unfair!" Rose exclaimed. "How can you pair me up with Josie.""You agreed to compete with her." Mason pointed out. "Ah, senior! It's not like we're all better than her. Aishhh, she's just too fast. Her hand just goes pa pa pa pa on the chopping board like she was born to be a chef.""Oh my, is that a compliment?"
