Go Get That Job

Enjoy this short story by Hellen Heels.

“That is where you are wrong, Nikki. The work we do as chefs is very intricate, detailed, and personal. We get reviewed in an instant on how good our performance is. This is very different from any other role or job that the Madame might have.”

“So?”

“If the madam wanted an investment manager, she'd simply review his past performance in a bank and expect that he'd do well in the new job. But that doesn't happen with chefs. We get assessed on the spot, not later. And a verdict would be made by our employer almost immediately, not at some future date.”

“I see. And how does that relate to you now?”

“It is obvious, Nikki. I have to stay focused and on point. I cannot jeopardize this opportunity by being big-headed with you right now.”

She gasped. “My goodness.”

“What is it?”

She pointed at him. “Is that supposed to be there?”

He looked down at himself. “What?”
