#Chapter 54: Cookoff?!
Abby novelbin
“This… Isn’t a prank, right?”
Even as I utter those words, I feel like an idiot. But I can’t help myself; I just can’t wrap my head around
this whole situation. My little restaurant was chosen as one of four finalists for the Alpha gathering out
of all of the amazing restaurants in the city?
The rich timbre of Calvin’s chuckle fills the room. “A prank? No, ma’am, this is as real as it gets. But, I’d
advise you not to pop the champagne just yet.”
I raise an eyebrow, my heart still pounding hard. “Why’s that?”
“The selection process requires a cook-off,” he explains. “Each of the four chosen restaurants will
compete to showcase their culinary prowess. Based on this, we’ll decide which establishment will have
the honor of catering for the Alpha gathering. It will be quite rigorous.”
The gravity of the competition he’s describing does little to dampen my excitement. This is an incredible
opportunity, and even just being considered feels like a massive win. “So, what you’re saying is that
there’s a chance, even if it’s one in four?”
“Exactly. And considering the caliber of dishes you serve here, I’d say you stand a good chance.”
Calvin’s smile is enigmatic, but it’s clear he’s not just trying to flatter me. “If you accept our offer to
participate, I’ll make sure all the details and requirements are sent to you ASAP.”
A whirlwind of thoughts race through my mind. The dishes I’d prepare, the strategies I’d employ, the
possible reactions of the judges. But even amidst this rush, the answer is clear.
“Of course I accept,” I say, my voice firm and decisive.
“Excellent. I believed you would,” Calvin nods, pulling out a sleek card from his pocket and placing it on
my desk. “This is my direct contact. Should you have any questions or need clarification, don’t hesitate
to reach out.”
I take the card, the cool, smooth texture a stark contrast to the warmth of my fingers. “Thank you, Mr.
Thompson. I won’t let you down.”
