Chapter 29: Nobody Else
At the shop entrance, Lilian ran over with her hands clasped together as she said, "Jessie, please make some small cakes now. That client loves desserts, especially freshly-made cakes. Help me out, and I’ll buy all the leftover stock from tomorrow!"
Jessie waved her hand nonchalantly. "There’s no need for that. I can hardly make enough to sell every day. It’s no big deal; it’s just a cake or two. I’ll bake a few."
Hearing this, Lilian hugged her waist with a grateful face. "Aww, Jessie, you’re so wonderful. If you were a man, I would definitely marry you."
"Alright, cut it out. Just bring the person over," Jessie said as she tied her apron and headed toward the kitchen.
Lilian brought the client, Mr. Chase, into the store. He surveyed the shop’s décor—it was beautiful and warm, and he couldn’t help but nod. This was the first collaboration between their two companies, and Lilian valued it greatly to the point that she had even dressed up for the occasion. However, Mr. Chase only thought she had ulterior motives.
Lilian wasn’t aware of this and politely gestured with her hand. "Mr. Chase, please have a seat. Just enjoy some desserts, and we can slowly discuss the collaboration details."
"Alright." He nodded. Seeing Lilian’s pretty face, he felt a slight itch in his heart.
"I’ll go take a look." Lilian stood up, intending to check Jessie’s preparations in the kitchen.
Just then, Jessie came out of the kitchen with freshly-baked cupcakes and saw Mr. Chase staring at Lilian’s backside. Her eyebrows furrowed sharply.
Sensing someone watching him, he quickly looked away and fixed his tie, pretending nothing happened.
Although Jessie was annoyed, she didn’t want to disrupt Lilian’s work and could only grit her teeth as she set the desserts on the table.
Seeing her face, Mr.Chase’s eyes lit up immediately. The one who just came out was even more beautiful than Lilian, and she even had an excellent figure. He couldn’t help but rub his hands together.
