“What are you doing sweetheart?” Mimi took a seat beside Sebastian who was typing something on his tab.“I am sending the location to someone.” He replied busily and got back to typing. Mimi frowned and tried to have a peek at the tab screen.“I hope you are not attracting kidnappers, boy.” There was a tinge of concern in her eyes.“Oh, Mimi,” Sebastian placed the tab and circled his small chubby arms around the elderly lady, “I am doing something for Mama’s happiness. Can’t you see? She is busy in running a bakery. But she is not happy.”“Oh, young boy,” Mimi clutched him to her bosom, “How thoughtful of you. Do you need my help?” The kid shook his head. When Mimi left there was a naughty grin on his face,“I will guide you to my mom, Mr. Lockwood. But not so easily.” He said and clicked the link, “Enjoy the ride, dear Daddy.”***Aiden Lockwood and Dr. Leonardo were getting off from the private jet owned by Lockwood companies.“I think we should go to our hotel rooms and get fresh.

“Yes?” Elara gave a questioning look to the fine-looking man who was there standing in the bakery amidst all the customers. “Are you Elara Smith?” the man asked her with a pleasant smile. His smile deepened when she nodded, “I am George Kernel, Ms. Smith. Nice meeting you.” He extended his hand for a handshake. Thalia who was standing beside Elara was looking at the man from head to toe, “Nice!” she whispered close to Elara’s ear, but Elara ignored her and gave an enthusiastic smile to George while shaking his hand. “Hello, Mr. Kernel. I am sorry, I wasn’t expecting this visit,” she looked down when George didn’t show any intention to leave her hand. “I am here to ask you about your presentation idea.” If Elara found it odd, she didn’t show him. “Please come inside, Mr. Kernel.” She gestured for him to follow her and tried to free her hand from his grip. However, he didn’t seem to take the hint and started heading towards the door with her hand still in his grip. Elara tried to t
There was a lot of hustle and bustle at ‘Lemons and Tarts’ bakers. Elara and her workers were busy completing daily orders. Then today there was an extraordinary rush of customers. Barbara was helping fill up the baking trays with the batter that would be placed in the ovens the next morning so that they could present it fresh.“Hey, Elara.” Morgana peeped inside with a startled expression on her face, “Octopus is here, and she wants to talk to you.” Elara straightened her hurting back. Right now, she did not want to deal with any drama. Yesterday, at E and L Corporations, Octavia was also there with her product list. However, she could not bully Elara. Maybe due to the presence of other executive officials.When Elara saw her, she could feel this appointment in her heart.“Oh, God! Out of so many bakers in Kanderton why Octavia had to be here?”“Send her in,” Elara tossed her rubber gloves and apron aside, “refrigerate these trays in the large fridge, Barbara,” She instructed the
Elara didn’t know what to do. She was frozen. Her mind had stopped working. Thalia's condition was no different. “Is there any problem?” They both parted when they heard Mimi's voice, “What you two are doing at this ungodly hour? By any chance did you two discover that you both are in love?” Mimi's unexpected queries were giving them a headache. Elara stifled the unexpected laughter. Even in such a tense situation, Mimi’s doubts were hilarious. “Oh, come on, Mimi. No one is IN LOVE,” Thalia leaned back against the counter, “someone poured crude oil on our order. Now we are in a mess. We can’t even use the same trays.” Elara then made Mimi sit and explained to her about her biggest chance at E and L. “Maybe call George?” Mimi gave them the idea but twisted her lips when she saw Elara and Thalia shaking their heads. “Why not?” “Right now, he must be sleeping … and what will I tell him, Mimi?” Elara dropped herself down on the kitchen floor as if she was too tired to even move.
Elara had left and now George Kernel was ordering the office peons to bring in the plates from the conference room to the main office.“Sir, I thought you might like to taste them,” he asked the staff to place all of it on the center table near the couch.Aiden and Leonardo scurried to the couch and observed each plate. Leo nudged his elbow into Aiden’s ribs,“I think this one is Elara's,” he pointed towards a plate. Aiden knew he was right. He also suspected the same.The instant George left along with his men to bring more plates for them, they both had attacked the plate, “Oh, my God. Heavens!” Leo closed his eyes and started humming.It was after such a long time that he was swallowing Elara’s handmade treats. He turned to Aiden who instead of eating the tart, seemed to worship it.He was observing it, twirling it between his index finger and thumb.“Eat it, silly. Otherwise, I won’t let any of it stay on that plate. They are too good,” Aiden took a bite and then closed his eyes,
Aiden gradually shifted his gaze to focus on George who was giving his head subtle shakes. The poor manager seemed scared.“Mr. Aiden. You need to trust me. These two…” her voice trailed off when Aiden slapped his hand on the desk,“What these two are doing is NOT my fuc*king business!” he didn’t know why he got so furious.“What do you want me to do? If you want, we can carry out an investigation. To tell you the truth this man was the in-charge of the program, and we can’t help it if he has any hidden agenda behind it. You can try for the next time. We will be hosting these parties all year around,” Aiden closed the dossier trying to give the subtle hint that there was no more discussion about it.In all fairness, George knew nothing about Elara. She was a beautiful woman and Aiden couldn’t punish someone just because he was showing interest in a particular woman.His woman.He won’t allow it when she would be beside him. But before that, he could not make matters worse. Elara neede
Initially, Noah frowned and then tilted his head to look at the ginger haired girl. “OK. I don’t know much about E and L people but congratulations, Elara.” Noah extended his hand this time for a handshake and Elara held it in hers while sitting beside him. “Thank you, Noah. They just opened their office in Kanderton. Their offer was good, and it can … solve many problems.” Noah knew about her debts to Octavia’s father and was always willing to help her, but Elara never accepted it. Her only answer used to be, “I’ll manage, Noah. I will let you know if I need anything.” Noah had been crazy about her since childhood, but he knew her heart always belonged to Aiden Lockwood. He had golden brown hair with light brown eyes and girls were still crazy after him. Yet, the girl he was crazy for, used to treat him as if he was transparent and she could see right through him… as if he didn’t exist. “Come on, kids. Who is up for a painting competition with Aunt Thalia?” Thalia announced
