Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: Bakery Guy

As they got inside the house, Yumeko left the kids in the living room and walks inside the kitchen with Caretaker Ayala.

"Thank you for the another day of keeping them safe, Mama Ayala." yumeko said while stacking plates together.

Ayala smiles. "Ofcourse Yumi, I'm glad I experienced being a mother even if not the biological mother for all of you."

A small smile appears to her, Ayala has an Issue. She can't have kids and because of that, she's just single and other men don't want her because of that. Glad that she became part of the orphanage.

Both of them went in the living room where the kids are and put the food on the table. The childrens screamed in happiness.

"Yey! Finally we can eat!" Jamie said and holds both her spoon and fork.

"Let's all pray first before eating." Ayala said and the kids nodded and puts their hands together then did the sign of the cross and closes their eyes.

Yumeko started. "God, Thank you for the food that was served infront of us, Amen."

"Let's dig in now."

"Happy Eating!"

All of them eats quietly, They aren't talking because it's forbidden, they might sound bad if they talk Infront of their food.

After 2 hours, Yumeko bids goodbye to them and told them that she will comeback again if she have a spare time.

Time check: 7 PM

She hurriedly hailed a taxi, telling the driver the destination she will take.

It didn't take too long to arrive there. She immediately payed the taxi driver and went at the backdoor of the shop.

Only to meet her Manager.

" You're Late, Ms. Brie. Mind telling me a valid reason?" Her manager said.

" I'm sorry, sir." She only bowed down and bit her lips. The manager sighed.

"Change to your uniform, Don't be late next time. Now go." Yumeko nodded and went inside the changing room.

After changing, Her co-worker smiles at her as she enter the Cashier station. The Shop is not that big or small, just average.

Waiting for customers, her eyes travels on the cake that was placed inside the glass for the customers to pick what they want.

Her eyes are focused on looking at the cake, amazed because it looks yummy. Not knowing that there is someone staring at her. She only noticed it when that person rang the bell.

" I'm sorry, erm, Hi sir! What would you like to buy?" She asked while smiling at the guy who is wearing a black hoodie and with a mask.

The person scoffs. "There's nothing more to buy here but a cake."

Yumeko suddenly felt embarrassed, she bit her lips and taps her fingers together, getting the hold of embarrassment.

"Anyway, I'll buy the Rainbow Cake." The guy said. She went inside again and told them to prepare the cake the guy mentioned earlier. After that, she grabs it and handed it to the guy.

"Here you go, sir. It will be 4K." The guy handed a credit card to her but she refused. "We don't accept credit cards, sir. We only take cash."

He only hummed and brought out his wallet, Yumeko was amazed. He handed her the money and she took it.

"Have a great night! Hope you visit again." She said as the guy left the bakery shop.

She sighed looking at the clock on the wall, It's already 8:30 PM, Time sure flies fast.

When she turns around, she frowned, seeing her co-workers eaves dropping from the door. "What are you guys doing?"

"Hey Yumi, That guy is sure Hot! He's just staring at you while you speak." Lily said and giggled with the others.

Yumeko frowns more. "Huh? He's just a customer."

"He bought you a cake! Come look at this." She said and pulled Yumeko inside the lobby. Seeing the sealed cake.

It said,

[See you again, Wendel.] - E.K
