Chapter 438: Weight of Choice (1)
“Alright, good job”
June put her phone on her desk with its speakerphone on Compared to his usual style, the voice of the man over the phone was far from playful and self-confident
“I’ood results by all means…”
“You don’t have to feel sorry, Dobby No one would say that runner-up is a bad result”
Having said that, June felt strange as if she had been expecting that he would tell her so froht the probability of hi contest was low And she would still feel so In fact, when considering the winning rate itself, Dobby and Eva’s chance of winning was overwhel experiences
But their results missed her expectations But she wasn’t surprised by the results
Why? If she had predicted that Min-joon and Kaya would win, she ht not have been surprised, but she didn’t think so She wondered why
‘Was I expecting they would win?’
Maybe she ht have felt unconsciously or instinctively that she should not judge Min-joon and Kaya in terms of probability
June asked Dobby in a quiet voice, “Are you angry?”
“…”
Dobby didn’t answer for long June turned her chair halfway The dazzling lights of New York were pouring into her eyes through the glass wall right behind her—the taxi lights on the streets, OPEN-shaped neon signs in front of pizza stores, vehicle headlights, fluorescent lights in offices, and the s on the street
And she could hear Dobby’s voice through the lights When she heard his answer, she smiled for a moment because she never expected she would hear it from Dobby
“Oh, I see”
Min-joon and Kaya changed Dobby They made her immature and pompous student mature Suddenly she wondered if her coless just like checking the probability of winning between Dobby and Min-joon was less She orried and even scared to think of that
But soon, June’s eyes sparkled sharply Even if her coless later, she could not give it up In fact, her calculated actions until noere her best weapon of survival Predicting, adjusting, and bringing out the situation in her favor was decisive inher achieve her status as it was now Thanks to her constant calculations and thinking, she could enjoy such a fantastic night view of New York on her back
Dobby said, “I’m sorry I feel like I’ve made you feel defeated because I lost in this contest”
“Dobby, I always told you it didn’tas you are confident of scoring a goal, I’m confident Don’t you think so?”
“To be honest, I thought about myself quite a lot this ti but ant if I tell you I’m confident”
“If you coant,” she said sharply in a low voice
Dobby was at a loss, not knowing how to respond
But she slowly continued, “When nobody recognizes your worth, you are done if you doubt it yourself It’s different between having even one person who recognizes you and you not recognizing yourself It’s okay even if you have groundless pride If anybody tells you, “Oh, you have a long way to go,” or so like that nonsense, reet even with them”
“But Chef June, isn’t it too hard for you to live like that?” he asked anxiously
The reason why he asked her like that was not because it was hard for hih such a life, and she would continue to do so
Of course, she noticed why he asked such a question, so she repliedas an ordinary chef?”
“…”
“Remember this The moment you don’t believe you are the best, others will start believing you really aren’t the best As long as you can’t convince yourself you’re the best chef, you can’t be one And I’ to ith only the best chef If you want to beabout whether you think you are too complacent I don’t want to share your pathetic worries”
“Got it, Chef June”
“I’ll hang up the phone now Come to the restaurant as soon as you arrive in New York Let’s talk about other things later”
“Sure I’ll see you soon, Chef”
She hung up the phone and leaned against the chair, watching the New York landscape in silence She always used to feel strange when she looked down fro People walking on the street looked so small that it was impossible to tell whether they werelives with their own thoughts, dreaoals, and if she was also one of thee If she achieved everything she wanted, could she subdue her anger? Could she rise to the top then?
She smiled bitterly for a moment She reard himself as the best chef, nobody would think so
