TITLE: WeMischief

This is not the first time that WeMischief Company which was originally supposed to be named as WeChef Company did that again. But this time it was different. Mr Rewood the owner of WeMisch- sorry that’s Wechef, a food delivery company once hired a kid to suggest a fascinating name for their company and as a grand name, WeChef became popular. However, this all went well till that kid typed the wrong spelling on the official website without anyone knowing for whole two months. Since then this company became a perfect example of ridicule for everyone.

Its January 20 2021, WeMischief company started planning for a comeback to change the name as well as take revenge for the pride of their beloved company. On this very day, all members except the owner Mr Rewood gathered a meeting at Red Hawk Palace to pull a hoax. The plan was to exchange the caramel candies made by rival company GoEat at the beginning of every month with candies that WeMischief will make. Pretty decent plan isn’t it?

For the next few weeks, all the member’s secretly started collecting brown coloured onions. The whole town went crazy after a rumour spread that this company will come back on April fool’s day. Paul, Sam, Goldfield and many notable chefs of WeMischief Company started making caramel candies so that the exact amount of candies can be exchanged on the night of 31st March. If you are thinking about what the onions are for if candies are to be made using caramel. Hehehe …. That’s the key. Those onions will be inside the caramel-filled candies. The so-called notable chefs of the company who actually were so lazy that they usually wear slippers with elementary school pants suddenly became world-class chef to trick the rival company. Paul peeled all the onions that were supposed to be used as candies. Other chefs were preparing a creamy brown caramel layer that is to be used to cover the onions. All chefs were laughing and cracking jokes about how hilarious it would be to see the whole town crying after eating onion candies. And then the superhero company WeMischief will save everyone and change that damn name and then will regain its pride. Still, the worst-case scenario was yet to be thought of. No one really cared to think what if the owner sees all this or maybe this prank backfires. Whatever be the case, the days passed by with all of us dreaming of good days and the owner still knew nothing.

9:00 AM company opened its door, people worked as they should do but the owner thought it in a different way. Due to the increase in overtime workers and no breaks he was totally doubtful about the behaviour of the workers. Mr Rewood asked Stephen, one of the dumbest member, “Ahem... So Stephen would you care to tell me about the work till now? You see, I am curious because lately all the workers are working overtime but all the meeting are done without my notice.” Oh, damn it, no one wanted Stephen to answer this complex question straight out of the blue, he joined recently and still is practising under Paul’s guidance.

“Sir, I appreciate your concern but there is nothing to fret about. Wait for April fool’s day we need to take our pride back don’t we?”

Seriously, it worked. You don’t know right? It’s the recording we created just in case the owner suspects anyone of us. And it worked well. Phew …..Glad he didn’t ask any further questions.

Now it’s February 15th and the plan’s almost ready all that’s left is to implement at the correct time without the owner’s knowledge. Mr Rewood as usual walked straight to the barber's shop first and two of our members started following, just to be sure we are safe. As a tradition just like GoEat Company, WeMischief Company also decided to celebrate April fool’s day with great enthusiasm. However this time it's WeMischief Company is going to win. Well, that’s what we thought. Two weeks went away with the speed of light and now it’s time for the action.

It's 7:00 PM and everything’s ready. Today the plan is going to be implemented. Because Stephen is new, he went right into GoEat’s main office as a visitor with a feedback note that their company’s doing all great. Almost 30 minutes passed Stephen’s meeting with GoEat’s owner finished and it time for the rest of the members to sneak inside. All the doors closed and but the ventilator door of the kitchen was open, just as planned. Why? Because it was Stephen’s job to make the owner give him a tour of their kitchen and he will secretly push the ventilator window forward. Paul and three others get inside using the open window thanks to Stephen and started exchanging the onion candies. Goldfield signalled everyone inside the kitchen to come out as the main plan is done.

The next morning, yes April 1st, most of the townspeople were enjoying their time at the Foodiez Square Street. Both of the companies were ready for the main event. People started visiting all stalls made by the companies and tried various new cuisines. But here comes the special attraction made by GoEat, like monkeys people rushed to buy those caramel candies. Well, the candies didn’t look like the ones we made. People were holding parfaits.

The shock everyone got that day was terrible. And everyone saw the labelled box; it wasn’t the box where we put those candies. Damn it! But now it’s time for the WeMischief special attraction. As you can guess these idiots were so obsessed with onion candies that they forgot about their own special dish.

Head chefs can clearly see the owner’s raging face. To make up what happened Paul and Goldfield secretly took out a box from GoEat’s truck. But who the hell will check the labels!

Now it’s done, the distributed special attraction was none other than the onion candies. I don’t need to explain it, do I? I will explain it to you anyways. The whole town who thought caramel candies are the best to end the event is now crying and vomiting.

“As expected from WeMischief, you guys are worth that name….Achooo.. Sniff... Sniff…”

“Ah, Man! These guys pulled another damn prank on us… Sniff... Sniff..”

And now if you are asking what happened next well, we all got demoted and now even the town’s kids make fun of us. We all may have failed but wait for us GoEat, we will put down the ridiculous name for sure next year with another prank and will definitely work.

And yes I haven’t introduced myself yet, right? I am the chef who joined three years later and yet my presence is like air.
