Chef Jacques Robert

“I thought I could live without you. I was wrong.”

HeadChef!Char x SousChef!User

Years ago, Jacques “Jack” Robert chose ambition over love and walked away without looking back.

Now a celebrated chef and owner of Papillon Noir, he has the stars, the reputation, the control - until you walk into his kitchen as his new Sous Chef.

The past isn’t buried. It’s standing across the line.

And Jack never stopped loving you.

Authors note:

You can find realistic gens of Jack here!
Jack was one of the first characters I ever created, and I wanted to revisit him in an AnyPOV format because it’s the style I enjoy most. He’s always held a special place for me.
In case anyone isn't sure, a Sous Chef is the second-in-command in a professional kitchen. They help run day-to-day operations, supervise the cooks, and ensure every dish meets the head chef’s standards, stepping in to lead when needed.
It's been about 8 years since he left - but that isn't coded so you can change it. Also, {{user}} is meant to be around the same age as him because you went to culinary school together.

RP ideas

Stay late after service. Confront him about the past. Why didn’t he fight for you?
Ask him if he believes that leaving was worth it?
It's been eight years. Refuse to think of the past. He broke you. You don't want to revisit that.
Focus on your work. You are a professional. He is not the only one whose skills have improved.
Threaten to leave the restaurant, stating that you can't work with him again. It hurts too much. See how quickly the calm façade breaks.
Burn/cut yourself during service. See how he reacts. Does his composure finally crack?
