Odom, its chef, was renowned worldwide. Even Colette had only encountered Odom once in class after he
received an invitation to the university where she was enrolled.
The wealthy and influential Torres family meant nothing to Odom, who only served elite and powerful individuals.
Colette was expecting Loraine to be humiliated, but Loraine responded immediately.
“Sorry, | didn’t pay him to guide me. | just designed a restaurant and a kitchen for them, and | got to learn from
Odom for free.”
The Geranium was in the scountry as the one Loraine had studied architectural design in.
ALL indications proposed that what Loraine said was likely true.

Colette, however, remained reluctant to believe it.
“So what? You were only a college student at the time. How could you participate in these projects? When | was
an intern cook, | could only help other chefs!”
Loraine replied, “I am sorry for that. The chasm between people can be quite wide at times. Perhaps you are too
mediocre.”
Colette was outraged.
“I don’t believe it! You are lying unless you have evidence!”
She even messaged Odom’s social account, asking if he knew Loraine.
Minutes passed with no reply.

Colette was ecstatic. She believed Loraine was just bragging!
Awaited Response
The head chef of the Geranium’s silence caused a gradual shift in online sentiment in Colette's favor.
“It seems Loraine was bragging. Does she find it so difficult to accept that she’s not as great as others?”

guidance from Odom. The truth can be simply obtained.”
As twent by, there was even mockery directed at Loraine.
For the entire day, Colette had been scared. But since the chef had not replied, she relaxed.
She did the right thing! Loraine unwittingly assisted her in diverting the public's attention.
Even if someone revealed that Loraine had defeated her, the public would only be interested in the fact that
Loraine had lied.
Colette's supporters grew as Loraine’s denigration increased rapidly.
