New Chef

Exactly six days after Mia left Ludus, Jeff's heart pounded as he approached the imposing gates of Henry Rosewood's mansion.

Three days had passed since his meeting with Tom, and today, he was finally here, in the lion's den.

He adjusted his round-rimmed glasses which was perched on the bridge of his nose, that made him look nothing like the Jeff who shared an apartment with Mia.

As he pressed the intercom button, he couldn't help but feel a surge of apprehension. This was dangerous, but it was a risk worth taking for Mia.

A crisp voice answered the intercom, and Jeff introduced himself as the new chef from EliteHouse Inc. Moments later, the heavy iron gates swung open, and Jeff walked up the long, winding driveway, the grandeur of the estate reminded him of the power and control Henry wielded.

Even though his heart was pounding a frantic rhythm against his ribs, he put one foot in front of the other until he got to the main door.
