Oakley was turning channels on television when a similar face caught her eyes, she gasped and shouted, "Winnie." Grabbing Damien's attention.

He looked at her in question as she arrowed towards the screen. His eyes turned towards the direction of the television but it was a little late, the masterchef advertisement that was displayed on the television was already gone.

"Winnie is on tv." She said out loud.

Damien ignored her, thinking that she might have seen someone else and considered her to be Winnie. There is no chance Winnie will be on tv and why would she be? That's just weird and random.

"Why Winnie on tv, daddy?" Asked Oakley.

Chris, who had his attention all towards the screen of his laptop, was puzzled by Oakley's question.

"Maybe it's someone else." He replied shortly.

"No. It is Winnie."

Chris ignored her as he was surrounded by plenty of business work. And so was Damien. Okaley huffed in annoyance. She kept quite and waited for the ad to appear again so she could tell them it was really Winnie.

...

Going through the very first stage was hard, but all the upcoming ones are going to be worst. She's already scared of the people around her. She doesn't know how she is going to survive this, that too alone with no friend. This masterchef world, she thought would be colourful, well though it is, but a bit harsh as well. People aren't really friendly, she wouldn't call them rude either. Everyone is just here to compete eachother and win.

Of course, at the end everyone is here to be America's next masterchef. Not do friends. Well, if you could find someone genuine and honest, that will be cherry on top.

Despite all the struggles, she is happy that she took this opportunity.

Got the chance to even discover Chicago. Yes, this masterchef is taking place in Chicago. Away from New York, she's so delighted. Maybe she will be able to make a life for herself here. New city, new life.

Tomorrow they have to be in the masterchef kitchen for a competition. Not even half way into it, she's already planning what she's going to prepare on the final stage. Over confidence, she's starting to get.

...

Oakley once again shouted as Winnie appeared on the television's big screen. This time Damien instantly looked up and gulped. It was indeed Winnie. But what was she doing in there. What was going on? Here, he thought he was giving her sometime to calm down and get over whatever has happened. But seems like she's upto something else. He didn't take more seconds to come to conclusion that she has starting working on television being oblivious to otherwise.

Now the ad was gone, and Damien huffed in annoyance. Anger consumed him. Not wanting to show anything infront of little Oakely, Damien stomped out of the living room.

...

Everyone stepped towards their directed areas, where they were to cook. They were given the task to create something out of the mystery box. Her hands trembled as she opened the box. For the first time in life, she felt like, she doesn't have ability to cook anymore. Back home, to whoever she has cooked for until now weren't chefs. But now she has to cook for world's best chef. And she feels inferior.

Opening up the box, she found the best ingredient she could have asked for today. Chocolates. White, black and the sweet brown. Her mouth watered and she smiled in hope.

As the time started, she already made her mind; she was going to make a chocolate mousse.

Here the competition begins. She started with beating her egg whites. Overwhelmed, she was and her hands were shaking. She hissed, as she remembered she was beating the egg white alone. How could she forget the main ingredient here; sugar. Slapping herself on forehead, she ran towards the pantry to get the sugar. She decided to go with the brown sugar, as it's her favourite type of sugar. Was she taking a risk by using brown sugar? This could get her out of the competition. But she was at least not playing safe.

She started beating her eggs again with the sugar when Gordon Ramsey appeared on her unit.

"So Winnie, what are you preparing?"

"Chocolate mousse." She replied, nervous.

"Do you think chocolate mousse is enough for you to win this round?"

"I think so.." She bit her bottom lip. Here, he was making her rethink about the dish she chose. What if everyone is making something too fancy and her dish looks poor between them.

She peaked around and noticed, eveyrone indeed was making something better than chocolate mousse.

"Did you put brown sugar in it?" He asked.

"I did."

"Do you think you did a mistake by choosing brown sugar instead of white?"

Now sighing, she wishes for him to leave already. She admires him and his personality, aims to be as perfect chef as him but he was making her doubt her choice.

As he went away, she exhaled out. From the comments of the chef, it looks like she might the first to be eliminated in this masterchef.

Ahhhh!

I apologies for making yall wait very long for updates. 😭

Not that I'm ditching you, I just couldn't get enough time to write.

Now that Damien knows she's in masterchef, well he doesn't know that yet, he only knows that she's in tv. What do you think his reaction would be?

'Keep Reading, Keep Voting.'

Peace✌🏼.
