Nancy's Café

Another new day. I rose up and got ready for work as usual. When I reached I found Mam Nancy already packaging an order of cupcakes, she saw me entering and gave me a warm smile that I couldn't help but also smile and greeted her warmly.

"Morning Lizzy "she said as she continued to pack the last box.

"Looks like we have a big order hey" I said as I check the slip order.

"Yeah today there is a birthday party at the park that is next to Miller's big company "

"That one out of town?" I asked looking at her in a surprised and disbelief look… And she nodded yes.

"All done you can take them and deliver" she looked at me as she handed the key of delivery scooter, I took the order and placed them gently in the scooter, wore the helmet and hit the road.

MILLER'S COMPANY

This is the tallest building, the first one you meet when you leave the small town... it has a lot of working station and a lot of stuff. It has the most beautiful view especially on the top view where is Ethan's office, is really breathtaking especially at night when city lights are on.

Noise was heard from a room looking like a boardroom, everyone was presence for the meeting to meet new clients but except the CEO's chair. Everyone was complaining that the boss is late wondering where he is because the clients are already present, as soon as Ethan walked inside with his assistant William, who plays two roles (in noon he is an assistant and in night he is a bodyguard. He is Ethan's right hand they have been close since kindergarten) the room become silent like no one was talking just now. That's how powerful Ethan is. He is really respected...some ladies in the boardroom could help but still glance at him. He was breathtaking making it hard for them to look away. His expression remained still no smile no sign of emotion. He sat down, and the meeting started.

After 1 hour 30 minutes they came to an agreement with the clients, the document signed and the deal was closed just like that, the clientswere happyand readyto work with Ethan. Everyone started to leave the room to continue with their daily work. Ethan also left with his assistant to his office, they got in an elevator as soon the door closed, his assistant faced him

"boss tonight we are going to deliver the money and also receive supplies".

Ethan still faced forward with one hand in a pocket and getting out of the elevator while his assistant walking by his side

 "make sure you send the best team and no mistakes must be made" he said in a sharp tone walking inside the office and looked outside the window at the park view he saw kids celebrating. William poured him a glass of whiskey and gave it to him, he also looked at what his boss was looking at. Ethan as he was looking he noticed a figure of a girl that made him remember a girl who ruined his plans 5 years ago.
