"And in the end, you get a great steak." The man in his mid fifties turned off the stove and looked at his cooking partner.
"Remember Grey, cooking is an art. It teaches you patience and calm your nerves. Work patiently, without getting distracted by world and in the end, you will get a great flavor."
He smiled looking at the man whose moments were like a slow dance.
Soon both of them set the table.
"Brother Patrick, I always loved your cooking." Grey sat down on the table in an elegant way.
Patrick Show also sat next to him and poured green tea for Grey.
Grey took the cup and smelled it.
"You are a nice man Grey."
"I just wanted to be like you, Brother Patrick." He gave a small smile.
Both the men were looking elegant and handsome sitting in front of each other.
......................
Patrick Show was the head of the Mafia and the whole city was afraid of him. He was ruthless but also kind hearted.
Grey Show, 29 years old ,was an orphan, whom patrick found on the road when he was 12.
He took care of him like a father. Now Grey was managing his business and his other affairs. He always envied and respected Patrick. No matter how much Patrick's rivals tried to buy him, he always stayed loyal to him.
..............................
Grey was busy in reading the files in front of him when a young woman walked towards him and put a file in front of him.
She was his secretary, who take care of his stores sales. He was not only involved in underworld but also had some side businesses.
Partict always take good care of his people and therefore everyone was loyal to him.
If someone wants to leave the world of mafia, he would arrange job for them in those businesses so that they can live a clean life.
Grey worked really hard and now he own his own designer clothes store. It was very famous and expensive. Only few people knew that, this store belongs to him and not Patrick.
"What's the rate of profit?" He asked without looking at her.
"Double from last time." Veera smiled and sat next to him.
"Hmm." He picked the file and signed.
"You didn't read it."
"I trust you." Grey looked at her and gave her back the file.
Veera always liked him a lot. She was working with him from past five years. He gave her job when she needed the most.
She needed money for the operation of his father and was ready to even sell her body.
Someone introduced her to his manager and she got the job. Grey took care of his father and never wanted anything in return.
She doesn't remember, if she ever saw him disrespecting a woman in all those years, and this was the reason she had a secret crush on him.
"You can go now." He said without smiling. He rarely smiles and this was the second thing Veera doesn't remember when he smiled last time.
She got up.
"It's lunch time. Are you going to eat outside?" She asked with hope.
"Yeah, I will eat with brother Patrick."
She became sad.
"Why don't you join us, Brother Patrick was hoping to meet you." He got up and buttoned his coat.
"I will be more than happy." It was an honor to eat Patrick's Show cooking.
