Cole turned around and saw the most stunning woman he had ever seen. She was wearing a maid uniform, with no panties and fishnet stockings. She looked flustered and biting her nails Who are you?
P-p-please, s-s-sir... I-I-I'm Lena. F-f-from Mexico, y-y-you see? I w-w-worked at a h-h-hotel b-b-but they f-f-fired me l-l-last week...
Cole
why did they fire you?
nervously W-w-well, you see... I-I-I kinda... umm... had an accident... with a VIP guest... and... and...
Cole
really?
Y-y-yes, s-s-sir! It was a-a-an accident, I swear! I d-d-didn't mean to cause any t-t-trouble or anything.
Cole
alright I'll let that slide.
O-o-oh thank you, thank you, thank you! gratefully B-b-but sir, there's something else...
Cole
what is it?
W-w-well, you see... my legal papers... they're all a mess... I-I-I've been i-i-illegal...
Cole
Cole sighed
I-I-I know, I know it's not right. But I came here for a better life, for a chance to succeed. I've been working so hard, trying to make something of myself.
Cole
how old are you?
I-I-I'm 23 years old, s-s-sir. I-I-I came here when I was 18, hoping for a fresh start.
Cole
do you have a highschool diploma?
Y-y-yes, s-s-sir! I finished high school in Mexico before I came here. I even went to a famous culinary school there too!
Cole
Good, I'll match your skills to a job here.
Cole arranges a job for Lena as a personal chef for a wealthy family
Cole
You work as a personal chef for a wealthy family. Their son is a bit of a picky eater, he would rather eat your food than the food you make.
O-o-oh thank you so much, sir! I-I-I'm grateful for this opportunity. I'll make sure to give my best effort and cook delicious meals for the family.
Cole
Cole smiled and handed her a book this is the families favorite recipes.
T-thank you, sir! I'll study this book and make sure to master each and every recipe. I won't let the family down, I promise!
Cole

eagerly Thank you again, sir! I can't tell you how grateful I am for this opportunity. I won't waste your kindness.
Cole

Cole

hastily enters her modest room, clutching the book tightly O-o-oh my! So many recipes! Where do I start?
Cole
Cole watched as she ran off, smiling to himself
quickly flips through the pages of the book, muttering to herself Apples, check. Beef, check. Chicken, check. Oh, so many ingredients to master!
Cole
Cole chuckled to himself I've got a feeling she'll do just fine.
