00:00Hi, my name is Zoe, and I made a big mistake.
00:03Now my life is a raging inferno.
00:06Before I continue, please like and subscribe.
00:08If you do, you could be the lucky winner of $10,000 in just seven days.
00:12Spread the word to your friends and family.
00:14Ever since I was a kid, I knew it was my destiny to be a famous chef.
00:18I baked my first souffle when I was three,
00:20published my first cookbook when I was five,
00:22and two days before my seventh birthday,
00:24I won the Grand National Bake Off Contest.
00:27I guess I got it from my mom, who was one of the best chefs in the country.
00:30She even had her own cooking show on TV.
00:32But my dad couldn't fry an egg to save his life.
00:35He was mom's manager, and they were head over heels in love.
00:39Or I thought they were, but when I was 15, my world turned upside down.
00:43Mom ran off with a food critic.
00:45Dad and I were devastated.
00:47Dad sobbed for weeks and couldn't bear to leave the house
00:50because billboards of mom were everywhere.
00:52Soon, he lost all of his clients, was fired from his company,
00:55and the bills started piling up.
00:57How could she do this to us, to me?
01:00I don't know, Dad, but it's been six months, and the rent's past due.
01:02Maybe it's time to focus on getting a new job.
01:05Luckily, Dad took my advice and got a job online,
01:07but it wasn't enough to make ends meet.
01:09I tried my best to help out by baking pies
01:11and selling them to our neighbors after school.
01:13I even reached out to my mom to see if she could help us,
01:16but she said she had no money to spare
01:17because she was planning a huge wedding.
01:20I was so mad at mom, I deleted her number from my phone.
01:23I couldn't believe she was so selfish,
01:25and Dad often started falling sick
01:27and would mostly stay in bed sobbing.
01:30Stupid love had turned my mom into a selfish monster,
01:33my dad to a baby, and ruined my life.
01:35So I decided I'd never fall in love.
01:38My plan worked well, until my senior year,
01:41when I had an amazing glow-up
01:42and inherited my mom's good looks.
01:44Suddenly, all the boys started noticing me.
01:47Hey, Zoe, wanna go to the movies this weekend?
01:49Ugh, I'd never go to the movies with you.
01:51When's the last time you showered?
01:53You smell like a rotten egg.
01:54Zoe, did you wanna go to the spring dance with me?
01:57Bro, are you kidding?
01:58Not if you were the last guy on Earth.
02:00Okay, fine.
02:01I was mean, but I was protecting my heart.
02:03Besides, I was doing them a favor.
02:05Relationships are messy,
02:06and they bring out the worst in people.
02:08After months of insulting just about every boy in school
02:11and making a few of them cry,
02:13the rest of the kids started avoiding me like the plague.
02:15I didn't mind.
02:16I hardly had time for friends.
02:18I was too focused on my studies.
02:20I dreamed of becoming a world-renowned chef,
02:23opening a five-star restaurant,
02:24paying off all dad's medical bills,
02:26and buying us a mansion on the beach.
02:28In the summer after my senior year,
02:30I was accepted into a top culinary school.
02:33Look, dad, I got in.
02:34The good news cheered dad up.
02:36He even got out of bed
02:37and tried to bake me my favorite cookies.
02:40It felt good to see my dad in good spirits,
02:42but when I discovered that I didn't get the scholarship
02:44to pay for my tuition,
02:46my hopes were dashed.
02:47Honey, we're going to get you into that school.
02:49How?
02:50We'll never be able to afford it.
02:51That day, dad put on a suit
02:53and went out to look for a new job.
02:55A couple weeks later,
02:56he landed a position at a new management company.
02:58He even pulled some strings to get me an internship
03:00at a famous five-star restaurant
03:02that catered to celebrities and socialites.
03:05The owner is Miss Gina Tequila.
03:07She's discovered some of the most successful chefs
03:09in the business.
03:10Impress her and she can make your dreams come true.
03:13I was so excited to start on my new adventure,
03:15but I was in for a rude awakening.
03:17On my first day,
03:18the moment I stepped in the door,
03:20this boy my age named Hunter
03:21shoved a bucket of silverware
03:23and a broom in my face.
03:25You're late.
03:25The dinner rush will be here in 10 minutes.
03:27Polish these, then mop the floors.
03:29I thought I was supposed to assist in the kitchen.
03:30I'm an award-winning chef.
03:32I have my own cookbook.
03:33I showed Hunter some of my old newspaper clippings
03:36and my resume.
03:37Stop wasting my time with this foolishness.
03:39Only the best chefs in the world
03:41have the honor to cook in our kitchen.
03:42And I've never heard of you.
03:43Maybe I should talk to Miss Gina.
03:45I'm the manager.
03:46Miss Gina's eyes and ears.
03:48And what I say goes.
03:49You're not touching that stone.
03:51After you've done scrubbing the floors,
03:52you can start washing dishes.
03:54Hunter was a total jerk.
03:55And he got even worse once the guests arrived.
03:58Zoe, we need those dishes clean.
04:00Bro, I'm moving as fast as I can.
04:02That's not fast enough.
04:03He buzzed around me yelling like a maniac.
04:05I got so nervous I dropped a handful of plates on the floor
04:08and they smashed to pieces.
04:10Then the chef walked by and slipped and sprained his ankle.
04:13Oh my God, what's wrong with you?
04:15A second later, the whole kitchen went into a panic.
04:18The servers came in demanding their orders,
04:20but the chef was in no condition to stand, let alone cook.
04:23Suddenly, Miss Gina strutted into the kitchen
04:26in her Prada dress and jewels.
04:28The guests are complaining.
04:29This is unacceptable.
04:31Where is the food?
04:32Hunter turned as white as a ghost.
04:34The chef, he's...
04:35I don't care.
04:36Fix it, Hunter, or you're fired.
04:37She stormed off in a huff.
04:39More servers came into the kitchen demanding food
04:41than Hunter looked at me.
04:43Zoe, you said you can cook.
04:44You think you could help us out?
04:46I thought you didn't want me touching the stove.
04:48Forget what I said earlier.
04:49Please help me.
04:50I'll do anything.
04:50I'll buy you ice cream.
04:51I'll give you a raise.
04:52I'll shine your shoes.
04:53I'll clean your house for a week.
04:54Anything you want.
04:55I can't afford to get fired.
04:56Deal.
04:57I washed my hands, put on an apron, and got to work.
04:59I filled all the orders
05:01and added my own special twist on each recipe.
05:03All the customers loved my cooking,
05:06and a few of them even asked to thank me personally.
05:08This was delicious.
05:10I've never tasted anything so amazing.
05:13Miss Gina was so impressed.
05:14At the end of the night, she gave me a $500 tip.
05:18Just as I was leaving, Hunter ran up to me.
05:20Thanks for having my back in there.
05:22Sorry if I came off as a jerk.
05:23You were worse than a jerk.
05:25More like a monster.
05:26No, an ogre.
05:27An irritating mosquito.
05:29You're right.
05:30It's just that this job can be a little stressful.
05:32Miss Gina wants things to be perfect,
05:34and I need this job to take care of my mom.
05:36I get it.
05:36My dad was sick for a while.
05:38I had to take care of him too.
05:39How about we go out for the ice cream I promised?
05:41I agreed, and Hunter took me to my favorite ice cream shop.
05:45We hung out for a couple of hours,
05:47and to my surprise, he was a really nice guy.
05:49We had a ton of things in common.
05:51We liked the same music, movies, and MSA videos.
05:54Did you see this on TikTok?
05:55No way.
05:56I watch MSA on YouTube.
05:58TikTok turns your brain into mush.
06:00I know, right?
06:01We both loved food.
06:02Though Hunter wasn't a chef,
06:04he dreamed of opening his own restaurant one day.
06:06And Hunter's parents had gotten divorced, just like mine.
06:09After that, Hunter and I started hanging out,
06:11and we were totally just friends.
06:14Neither of us had time for a relationship,
06:16not to mention love.
06:17We both knew how that ended.
06:19But the more we hung out with each other,
06:20the more I started to think that maybe liking a boy
06:23wasn't all that bad.
06:24One time, Hunter was walking me home.
06:26It was really cold, so he took off his jacket
06:28and draped it over my shoulders.
06:30I looked up at him, and just as I was about to thank him
06:32for being so sweet, something inside me started to tingle.
06:36Why are you looking at me like that?
06:37Like what?
06:38All googly-eyed.
06:39Oh wow, you're blushing.
06:40Do you have a crush on me?
06:42No way!
06:42You're not even my type!
06:44You're lying.
06:45No, I'm not.
06:46Hunter stepped toward me and smiled.
06:48He stared at me with his dreamy brown eyes,
06:51and I swear they were like kryptonite.
06:52My heart started racing.
06:54Then suddenly, we were hugging, and it was amazing.
06:57At that moment, I realized that I liked him more than a friend.
07:00But we never said the L word.
07:02That was totally off limits.
07:03As the weeks passed, my life got better by the day.
07:06Hunter was great.
07:07My job was fabulous.
07:09Dad was even doing much better
07:10and was making more money than he'd ever made before.
07:13Miss Gina was so impressed with my cooking
07:15that she gave me a raise and decided to mentor me.
07:18She called me into her office
07:19and let me help her choose new items for the menu.
07:22She even gave me advice on how to be a successful businesswoman.
07:25It felt really nice to have Miss Gina take me under her wing.
07:29She reminded me of how my mother used to be.
07:31But one day, the craziest thing happened.
07:33Miss Gina hosted a gala at the restaurant
07:35and invited dozens of wealthy guests.
07:37Towards the end of the evening,
07:39I saw Miss Gina hug a wealthy man with a really expensive watch.
07:42But as she pulled away,
07:43she snatched the watch off his wrist and slid it into her purse.
07:47The man didn't even notice.
07:48I couldn't believe my eyes.
07:50I thought I must have been mistaken.
07:51But then I saw her swipe a diamond ring off a woman's finger,
07:55an expensive necklace off an old woman,
07:57and a man's wallet.
07:58I was shocked.
07:59Miss Gina was a thief.
08:00Miss Gina caught me staring at her.
08:02She rushed over to me,
08:04dragged me into her office,
08:05and slammed the door shut behind us.
08:07You stole from those people.
08:08No, I didn't.
08:09Yes, you did.
08:10I saw it with my own eyes.
08:12Fine, but it's not what you think.
08:13I need that money to keep this restaurant afloat.
08:16And those rich people have more money than they can ever need.
08:19Plus, they've got insurance.
08:20They can replace anything I stole.
08:22It's a win for everyone.
08:24I pawned the jewelry and reinvested into the restaurant
08:26so I can pay all of my employees.
08:29If I didn't do this,
08:30I wouldn't be able to afford to stay in business.
08:32But stealing is wrong.
08:34Losing this restaurant is worse.
08:36Think about Hunter,
08:37the busboy,
08:37the servers.
08:38They wouldn't be able to pay their bills
08:40or take care of their families if this restaurant shuts down.
08:42Life's not fair, Zoe.
08:44I'm just trying to even the odds.
08:45But if you want to report me,
08:47then go ahead.
08:47I didn't know what to do.
08:49I wanted to report Miss Gina,
08:50but I couldn't be responsible for Hunter
08:52and all the others losing their jobs.
08:54I'm glad I can trust you to keep this between the two of us.
08:57But can you do me a teeny favor?
08:59Don't tell Hunter about our little chat.
09:00I doubt he'd understand.
09:02After that, things went downhill.
09:04I hated keeping Miss Gina's secret.
09:06And worst of all,
09:06I hated lying to Hunter.
09:08It got so unbearable
09:09that I started avoiding him.
09:11Are you okay?
09:11You seem stressed out.
09:13It's nothing.
09:13Oh, I think I hear a dirty dish calling.
09:16I've got to go.
09:16But he could tell something was off.
09:18Did I do something to make you upset?
09:20No, I'm as cool as a cucumber.
09:21No, an ice cube.
09:22An iceberg.
09:23And a clue.
09:23I don't think that's true.
09:25I feel like there's something you're not telling me
09:27and it's obvious you're avoiding me.
09:28You run away every time you see me
09:30and you never answer my texts.
09:31Just then,
09:32I spotted Miss Gina watching me like a hawk.
09:35Jeez, can a girl just have some space?
09:37I have my own life.
09:38Maybe you should get one too.
09:39That came off way harsher than I meant it to.
09:41I could tell I hurt Hunter's feelings.
09:43Fine.
09:44I was just trying to be nice.
09:45It's not like I'm in love with you or anything.
09:47Hunter marched off and my heart sank.
09:50Forget about him.
09:51You should be focusing on your career anyway.
09:53Miss Gina appreciated me for keeping her secret so much
09:56that she let me handle the accounting for the restaurant
09:58and even hired me to cook for a few private functions.
10:01With all the extra gigs and the tips,
10:03I'd made more than enough to pay the tuition
10:05for my first semester at culinary school
10:07and we were only halfway through the summer.
10:09Things were going well,
10:10but it was bittersweet
10:12because I couldn't share the good news with Hunter.
10:14Then one day,
10:15I came home from the gym
10:16and noticed Miss Gina's convertible
10:18parked in my driveway.
10:19I walked in and what I saw robbed my world.
10:22Miss Gina and dad were flirting on the couch.
10:25Miss Gina, what are you doing here?
10:26I thought I'd stop by and surprise you.
10:29Miss Gina was telling me
10:30how great you've been doing at work.
10:32And your dad came up with a wonderful idea.
10:35He's going to host a big event at our restaurant.
10:37He's inviting all his new clients
10:39and his business partners.
10:41It's going to be fabulous.
10:42Why didn't you tell me
10:43your dad was so smart and attractive?
10:46My blood ran cold.
10:48All I could think about was Miss Gina
10:49stealing from dad's rich clients.
10:52What if she got caught?
10:53What if she started stealing from my dad?
10:54What if she stole his heart?
10:57Maybe that's not such a good idea.
10:59Don't be silly.
11:01Oh my, I'm so thirsty.
11:03Could you be a dear and get me something to drink?
11:05As soon as dad left the room,
11:07Miss G whispered,
11:08Don't you ruin this for me.
11:10We've hit the jackpot.
11:11I won't help you cheat my dad's clients.
11:13Oh, it's too late for that.
11:15If I go down, you go down too.
11:17Your name's on the accounting statements.
11:20And if the police get their hands on those records,
11:22you'll be in far more trouble than me.
11:25I had a really bad feeling.
11:26So I rushed out of there
11:27and headed straight to the restaurant.
11:29As far as I knew, I did nothing wrong.
11:32All I did was keep track of the receipts.
11:34But as I looked at the numbers,
11:35things weren't adding up.
11:37I noticed that Miss Gina had been stealing
11:39our client's credit card information,
11:40charging them for bogus items,
11:42and depositing the extra money into a secret account.
11:45And she'd been doing it under my name.
11:47I think once she had me sign some lengthy documents,
11:50which I now realize were bank papers.
11:53I was so busy and distracted at the time.
11:55She was right.
11:55If I said anything, I was toast.
11:57The night of dad's event, I was on edge.
12:00I didn't know what to do.
12:01Dad, his clients, and all his business associates
12:03had all showed up.
12:05And Miss Gina was grinning from ear to ear.
12:07I felt sick to my stomach.
12:09I couldn't keep lying for Miss Gina.
12:11But if I said anything,
12:12my whole world could shatter to pieces.
12:14As I was cooking, I must not have been paying attention
12:17because out of nowhere, flames went up from the stove.
12:20I saw my life flash before my eyes.
12:22Hunter darted toward me and pulled me away from the stove.
12:25Suddenly, the kitchen erupted into flames.
12:27The fire alarm blared and everyone ran outside.
12:30Miss Gina marched up to me screaming like a banshee.
12:33You did this on purpose.
12:34You're trying to ruin me.
12:36No, it was an accident.
12:37I swear.
12:38Liar.
12:39Then something inside me broke.
12:40I couldn't let Miss Gina control me anymore.
12:43So I told the truth.
12:45You're right.
12:45I am a liar, but not anymore.
12:47I told the police all about Miss Gina's stealing
12:49and how she tried to blame it all on me.
12:52The police conducted an extensive investigation
12:54and learned that Miss Gina had done this before.
12:56She was wanted in five states for running the same scheme,
13:00but under different names.
13:01My record was cleared of any wrongdoing,
13:04and Miss Gina was sent to jail.
13:05Why didn't you tell me what was going on?
13:07You didn't have to go through this alone.
13:09I didn't want you to get hurt.
13:11So you broke my heart instead?
13:12Yeah.
13:13That wasn't the smartest thing to do.
13:15Maybe we can start over,
13:17but this time, no more lies.
13:18Nothing but the truth.
13:20I think we can give that a try.
