Meanwhile, Gia was keenly keeping track of the time displayed on a microwave. It was now 6:15 and still the director of the food competition was going over instructions. She should have known it would be longer than an hour!

The back kitchen area of the main buffet was cold, making goosebumps prickle up in protest. Being in a simple black cocktail dress, Gia didn't have sleeves. She tried not to think about the frigid air, but a worker was going in and out of the walk-in freezer, releasing an icy breath in her direction, every single time. Once in a while, she'd give in to rubbing her arms, but had a complex that it merely made her appear extra nervous.

Not only were there three judges but three competitors. Pierre and Belinda, being seasoned food critics, had everything down pat. However, this was Gia's first ever TV rehearsal. It was made very apparent that it was mostly for her benefit.

Three empty platters sat before the three judges. Tonight, it was their job to pretend they were filled with delectable meals, and to thus appropriately comment on them. Gia kept getting the contestants' names mixed up, and she could hardly think of what to say about imaginary dinners. She was drawing blanks more often than not. Apparently, calling her imaginary rib-eye steak "sweet and sour" and her imaginary sweet and sour pork "rare and juicy" was considered a no-no.

“I hope you don’t have trouble tomorrow, Ms. Rizzo,” the director said, looking down her nose through small spectacles.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized. “I’m just used to… actually seeing and tasting my food.” She gave a nervous giggle that wasn’t reciprocated with an understanding smile. “I’ll do a million times better during the live competition. I swear.”

After a fruitless twenty minutes more, the director called it a wrap. They could adjourn. Gia walked calmly to the swinging double doors, and once through, took off in a sprint.
