“The pastry chef is baking the cake,” Emmeline smiled at them, “It’s one of those layered cakes. It’s six layers! Don’t worry, you will see them very soon.”
“Wow!” Moon clapped hard, “It’s six layers tall? There must be a lot of fruit and cream on it! I am sure I will love it!”
“Yeah,” Star chipped in, “My guess is that Mummy is preparing that layered cake so that all the customers can eat as well.”
“You’re so bright, Star!” Abel pinched her face, “You are right on the mark!”
“I understand now,” Timothy said, “Mummy wants the customers to share the joy as well.”
“This is really a good idea,” Sun agreed, “The cafe will be in such a merry mood!”
“We will share the cake with the customers,” Moon clapped again excitedly.
“Yes, let’s do that!” Timothy, Star, and Sun all bought the idea.
They really thought that sharing the joy of their Mummy’s birthday to the customers was the greatest feeling ever!
Suddenly, Emmeline’s phone rang. It was Sam, “Ms. Louise, there are even more customers now. I can’t manage the crowd anymore.”
“Alright, I’m coming down now.”
Emmeline made a gesture to Abel, Benjamin, and Waylon while saying that.
The three men stood up and joined her in going downstairs.
While Benjamin ran down the stairs, he called the Adelmar Group to instruct the secretary to send some more people over here.
Kendra decided to hand over Quincy to Daisy for now. She went to the preparation room to help out too.
Doris had baked several full trays of pastries, and at this moment, she was baking Emmeline’s cake.
Kendra could lend an immediate helping hand.
At the same time, Emmeline went to the first floor to help Sam make more coffee.
“Emma, this place is so full of life!” A crisp voice came at the door.
Emmeline turned around and saw that Lizbeth had arrived.
She tied up her hair in a ponytail and she was wearing a flowery dress. Adrien was standing behind her.
“Liz, you’re here!” Emmeline was happy to see them. She hurried over to welcome them.
“Emma, it’s your birthday today?” Adrien said, “If Abel did not post about it on social media, we won’t even know about your birthday!”
“Abel posted me on social media?” Emmeline’s eyes expanded, “This is really something that would only happen once in a million chances.”
“You don’t say?” Adrien whipped out his phone and showed her, “Look, ever since he has these social media accounts, he posted this yesterday.”
Emmeline stared at the screen and found that Adrien was right!
Abel was really showing off his wife on social media.
Emmeline did not even have time to check her phone ever since this morning because she had her hands full.
Lizbeth smiled, “Emma, Mr. Abel really adores you. He did something for the first time just for your sake.”
“What about you?” Emmeline smiled, “Isn’t this the same case for Adrien?”
Lizbeth blushed while glancing at Adrien. There was so much love in her eyes.
“Emma, this is our gift for you,” Adrien produced a gift box, “We bought it quite recently, but we don’t know whether you would love it.”
“I would be more than happy to see you here, and you even prepared a gift for me?”
Emmeline opened the box and saw that it was a Shanel handbag. It was the latest model that had just been announced to the world.
“Thank you, Adrien, Liz,” Emmeline was all smiles, “Have a seat, I will bring you some coffee and pastries.”
Adrien and Lizbeth were in an upbeat mood, “Great! We want to be part of your grand opening, to experience this amazing atmosphere.”
“How can I be absent for such an important day?” The glass door was pushed open and they had some new guests.
It turned out that it was Adam who was dressed in black, and Edmond and Erin were following him.
Emmeline could not help but frown. Why were they here now?
She did not need to think hard to realize that Adam must have come because Abel posted about it on social media. Adam would spread the word to Edmond. Erin came because she was currently his girlfriend.
“My sister, happy birthday!” Adam still had that unnatural look on his face when he wished Emmeline happy birthday t. His beard moved slightly as his lips opened.
“Thank you, Adam,” Emmeline’s voice was mechanical.
They were her customers today, so she had no reason to ask them to get lost. Furthermore, everything was in the past now.
“I prepare this for you, Emma,” Adam produced a delicate-looking box, “Take a look and tell me if you like it.”
