Elliot's POV
It is now close to past 3 and I am totally spent. My body is some how working on auto pilot. Luke the club bouncer and I are seated in the main dining hall waiting to taste the new chefs food. I did not tell him we have a new chef I want to first see what he says about the food. I must be fucking desperate to be putting myself out on a ledge for a total stranger. What will Christian say when he finds out his head chef quit and his manager hired a total stranger from word of mouth. They are working in the kitchen without even signing a NDA. I am going to be so dead if this falls apart.
Just then Jose appears and starts laying out all the food on tables and we are stunned. Firstly I didn't even think it was possible to make all this in the time I gave. Secondly no way one person can do all this on their own. But boy was I wrong because before us is the proof and it looks absolutely mouth watering. All these smells are teasing my senses and driving me mad.
Luke's POV
I am ex army and now work as a bouncer at the mile high club Owned by Mr Christian Grey. It's a very laid back job but the pay and benefits are fabulous. We get paid more than we are worth. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when Elliot invited me to taste some food made by the head chef Ralph. I have tasted all his food already and it is good so I don't know what the big deal is. When the dishes are placed on the table my mouth instantly starts watering.
"Wow Elliot you sure outdone yourself this time. That is a shit load of food there bro."
"Yes well I needed to see if the food on our current menu is up to standard. We have to taste the food and make sure its good enough to serve to the guests or Christian will kill me."
I pop some food in my mouth and can't control the moan that escapes from my throat. Fuck this food is absolutely delicious. Ralph has really upped his game.
"Elliot there is no way this is the same food and menu that Ralph has been cooking for the past 2 years. This food makes me feel like I am floating on air. It is that good. What ever the little fucker is doing tell him not to stop this is very good"
"Luke you are so right this is way better. Fuck this chef is good. Where was this chef hiding all this time. I have to hire them now, excuse me I have a chef to hire."
"What do you mean by that. I thought Ralph cooked all this."
"No, Luke Ralph walked out on us and I am trying to hire someone else before my brother finds out."
"Fuck Elliot why did you not say. I think you have found your new chef because this is so much better than what we normally serve here."
"Yes, I believe you are correct now I will see you shortly after the paper work is complete."
Elliot POV
I am totally blown away. When Jose mentioned he had a friend who can cook I did not expect this level of skills. This food is like a fucking orgasm on my tongue. I have to hire this chef at all costs. Christian is going to be so blown away when he comes to his lunch meeting. I get up and walk off to the kitchen to meet this amazing chef. As I enter I notice this beautiful petite woman with brunette hair cleaning up the kitchen. I wonder where the chef has disappeared to.
"Excuse me ma'am could you please direct me to the temp head chef?"
"u-um excuse me. I don't understand? Who are you looking for sir?"
"My pastry chef Jose brought in his friend for the head chef job and I was wondering where he went to?"
"I'm sorry but what makes you think the new chef is male?"
"That's a good question. I don't know I just assumed it's a man. But any way, as I asked have you seen the new chef." I am really getting annoyed with this women. Who does she think she is? She is the clean up crew and I am the manager. I am shocked when she walks right up to me and sticks her hand out to me and says.
"Anastasia Steele temp head chef. It's a pleasure to meet you sir." Fuck I am so embarrassed. I should have not assumed.
"I am so sorry Anastasia. I am Elliot Grey the manger. It's a pleasure to meet such a talented young women."
"Cut the bull shit Mr Grey and get to the point. Another thing I prefer to be called just Ana. " I like this women already.
"Ok Ana follow me to my office and we will talk business and you can call me Elliot because Mr Grey is my brother."
Ana POV
This has been the best day of my life well besides the fool who tried to attack me earlier. I am totally in my element in this beautiful state of the art kitchen. Cooking those dishes came so naturally I didn't even need to consult the recipes. The food was complete in less time than I expected and Jose served it up while I cleaned up the mess I made. I do hope impressed them because this was the only chance I am going to get to work at a place like this. I realized I was not alone, standing in the doorway is a huge hunk of a man with blond curls and the greenest eyes I have ever seen. I wanted to laugh when he assumed I was the cleaning crew and he was looking for the chef. I saw the shock on his face when I reveled I was the chef. Was my food that good? I am totally stocked. We leave the kitchen and I follow him up to his office and settle into the comfy chair across from him. This is make it or break it time.
