After the first scene she had to shoot for the day, her assistant quickly came to her with a box of chilled fruit juice and a boxed lunch.
Ah! How good it felt to have an assistant.
She didn't bother to inhale the food as per normal instead, she carefully savoured the food with a satisfied expression on her face. In the process of eating, she remembered that Grace still owed her a box of pastries. She closed the lid of the box and then retrieved her phone from her bag.
She refused to pass off an opportunity to get a free pastry from Grace.
No way!
She dialled her number and she picked up after the third ring.
"Hey Grace. "
" Xiao Ning why have you called? Aren't you supposed to be at work? "
" Of course I'm at work, it's lunch break now and I'm eating a boxed lunch. As for why I called, you promised me pastries. "
" I thought you were eating? "
" Of course I'm eating that's why I remembered. Why you want to go back on your word? "
" I didn't say that! You know what forget it. Tell me what you want and I'll make it for you. "
" You can make a doughnut or apple tart or better still just make me a chocolate cake. "
" Why do I have to choose which one to make? Why don't you just pick one of them? "
" I can't pick they are all sooooo delicious just make anyone or if you like make all of them. I'll graciously accept them. Oh! I forgot to tell you I've got news. See you. Bye! " And she hung up before the other party could say anything else.
Hearing the end dial tone, Grace couldn't help but curse.
Mo Ning just had a special talent which is to drive her crazy!
What person asks for something like that!
" What happened now? She tricked you into making more than one pastry for her? "
Bai Yaran who was resting on the couch asked Grace after hearing her curse.
" You bet she did. I feel like strangling her right now! "
" Calm down lady. Why don't you do it since you enjoy baking so much?"
"I don't think I enjoy it so much any longer. Since that little devil always looks for a way to trick me into making pastries for her like the foodie that she is. I think she should just hire a personal chef to be at her service all the time. "
" No offence but aren't you a chef? "
" I'm a chef, who happens to be working for free right now. She doesn't pay me! You guys really are infuriating. I'm going to get what I need for the pastries, when I get back please remind me of the reason I'm friends with you guys. "
" Alright. Bye! Don't forget to get enough so you can just make some for me when you're making hers. Thank you in advance. "
" Arghhh.... I'm leaving. " Grace said walking out of the apartment with a groan.
They just wouldn't stop until they milk her dry would they?
Despite everything she couldn't help but smile. No matter how they behaved before her, they would never behave that way before outsiders.
They could only truly be themselves in front of their loved ones.
And she was glad she was one.
