CAKEY BAKEY
As soon as Blake entered the cake shop, some lady workers started to giggle amongst themselves. From day one, they all were captivated by Blake's cute look. His handsomeness had swept them off their feet.
"Gracious heavens! I'm pretty sure I'm going to die of hypertension, my heart is beating like crazy." One named Kelly said to Lucy, her friend.
"Gosh! This guy is a fallen angel. Just take a look at his long brown hair, he looks like the male lead in a novel I'm reading. I think I'm in love already." Another named Sandra said.
Lucy stared at her with a deadpan expression on her face.
"Come off it, Sandra. I think you've suddenly lose your senses, there's no such thing happening. I'm the most prettiest and he's definitely going to be mine." She retorted.
"You're obviously wrong, Lucy. Just take a look at me, I'm as attractive as the night stars." Sandra countered her.
Blake on the other hand sat down and texted Natalie while he signaled at one of the ladies. Sandra began to blink rapidly like she had some stuff on her eyes.
"He just called me, finally my dreams are coming through." She fanned her face with her hands.
"Don't be silly, he called me and not you." Kelly protested. She was busy arguing with Sandra so Lucy quickly went ahead, acting smart.
"That wench!" Sandra balled her fists.
"I'd like a chocolate cup sized cake and a glass of juice." Blake mentioned to Lucy who was lost in her own world already and couldn't take her eyes off him. She's already imagining herself kissing him already.
"Hello…."
Lucy jolted back to life, she cursed herself inwardly. Gosh! She wasn't even able to control herself.
"Oh yeah yeah, a vanilla cup cake and…."
Blake shook his head. "No...a chocolate cake and a glass of orange juice." He made a recap and she nodded before going to get it for him.
She was tempted to ask for his contact but doesn't know how Blake was going to react to it and she didn't want to disgrace herself.
Natalie was in the kitchen when she Blake's message popped on her phone. ' I'm at your shop.' It read. She smiled and went to attend to him. She couldn't deny the fact that she missed him already.
Her eyes met his smile as she sat down and instantly, her heart skipped a beat.
They exchanged greetings and all along, Blake noticed she was in a very good mood compared to the other day.
"Blake, there's a miracle. Natalie broke the hot news to him.
He wondered what miracle she was talking about. He asked, "What miracle, Natalie?"
"Sebastian is a changed man. He now treats me nicely. You just have to see the way he cuddles me every time, I just can't get enough." She blushed, completely fooled by Sebastian's deception.
Blake wasn't sure he heard her well, he wasn't the least convinced, Sebastian could have another plan against her and he feels it's not safe to continue trusting him.
"Natalie, you have to be careful, there might be more to this than you're aware of." He warned her but she proved adamant, she was totally blinded by his 'love' and she seemed not to be convinced. She had even changed her mind about filing a divorce against Sebastian or moving out of his house, she wanted to remain wnothbrhe man she loved.
Blake didn't want it to seem like he doesn't want her happiness so he kept his cool but he was really concerned about this whole situation.
Sebastian wasn't a man to be trusted and he could strike anytime.
The three ladies continued to stare at them while they discussed. They wondered what relationship was between the two. Lucy turned to look at Kelly who had a thoughtful look on.
"Kel, could that be boss's brother?"
"Make use of your eyes properly, Lucy. They don't look alike."
"So what are you trying to insinuate? Are you saying Mrs Sean is cheating on her husband?"
Lucy quickly covered Sandra's mouth, looking around to check if noone heard her.
"You're too lousy! Don't be a fool, what if someone hears you?"
"But I did already." Rachael mentioned, emerging from a corner. She had been listening to their conversation all along but they were too engrossed in their talks to take notice of her.
They all were caught unaware. Rachael folded her arms, walking closer to them.
"You were paid to work but instead you chose to gossip around, isn't it? Do you guys really want this job?" She scolded them.
"We're sorry, Miss Rachael." They all said, their eyes fixed to the floor. They should have been careful with their unbridled tongues.
"Now get back to work." Rachael ordered and they all returned to their posts.
Minutes later, Natalie was back in the kitchen and she sat down, busy smiling at herself. She couldn't stop imagining Blake's handsome face. Her face became red as she blushed.
"Natalie, don't tell me you're crushing on that guy already." Rachael said, walking up to her.
"Hey… he's just a friend." Natalie quickly composed herself.
"Hmm… I see and after talking to him why do you have to look like a tomato? Just take a look at your face."
Natalie stood up and decided to keep herself busy just to change the topic. Rachael was completely wrong, she doesn't have any form of crush towards Blake and just as she had said, he's just an harmless friend.
But come to think of it, why does she blush at the thought of him?

Kaloyan dialed his mom's line and she picked up immediately, she was eager to break the news about Danica's arrival.
"Hello son."
"Mom, I called about concerning the marriage."
"And what about it?" Emilia was quick to reply him. She knew he was going to spout nonsense again. Just when would this som of hers get sensible?
"Can you just speak to dad? I promise to get a wife soon and this time I'm serious."
Emilia shook her head, completely disgusted. If Kaloyan was near him, she would've slapped some sense into his empty head.
"Loyan, the Jenkins's family is a family friend and it's a very great thing to get you and their daughter married."
"What part do you not understand? I'm seriously tired of waiting for you to get a wife. We helped you son, since you're busy searching the whole world for your spec, we brought her right to you." Emilia continued.
Kaloyan was surprised, he never knew this was this reason his parents wanted him to marry Danica Jenkins, just because she's a daughter a family friend?
She's totally out of the box for him. Danica is someone who's obviously after more wealth and fame and she could take to her heels anytime a problem arises. He doesn't want to get married to that type of lady? He wants someone that would love him unconditionally, come rain, sunshine or Noonday.
"Danica is now back from Germany and your dad would also arrive in a few days, then he'd decide on the wedding date."
Kaloyan's brows knitted into a puzzled frown. The wedding date? What wedding date?
"Mom .."
"Call me for something reasonable and not for trash talks. I might be forced to send you a brain resetting slap right from where I am. Goodnight, Groom-to-be."
Kaloyan flung his phone on the car's seat as his Emilia hung up. He just couldn't wrap his head around this whole thing. He wondered what else he could do to stop all this.
Not long after, the car halted in front of his mansion and James gave him the car keys before taking his leave.
He got in and his eyes lit up in more anger as he saw the last person he would love to show up at his face.
"And what are you doing in my house with my shirt on you?"
"Kay…." Danica smiled, throwing him into a hug and wrapping her long legs around him.

Hello guys, please don't be confused. Blake is still Kaloyan, his real identity is Kaloyan but he has to be addressed mostly as Blake when involving Natalie.
