"You!" Aber stood behind and called for Master, hearing his voice he also turned to ask what was wrong.
"Taste it, they just made it." Aber held out the plate of cakes in his hand to him, the cakes, although a little different from the ones he made the day before, still looked quite beautiful. Master reached out to pick up the plate of cakes left on the table, and then took one of them to taste, he didn't like sweets very much but still gave priority to tasting chocolate.
"Slightly sweeter than the one you made yesterday, isn't it?"
"Um, I told you to add sugar to make it sweeter, the outside is lighter." Aber tasted the cake I made yesterday and was a bit unsatisfied, so today intentionally added ingredients to make them sweeter. Light crust with light cake filling is not good at all.
"Maybe because I'm not used to eating sweets, I find it a bit sweet." Master answered him and then gave him a plate of cake to eat, he was quite picky about this and that cake, so it was easy to make other people upset sometimes.
It's midday in France right now, the sky doesn't seem to be very clear. Jerry and a female colleague she used to eat together before, the food in France is undisputed about the deliciousness, but it seems that people like Jerry who just came here have a bit of a taste.
"Please order, I'm not very familiar with the dishes here." She gave the menu to her colleague, and then communicated in English with her asking her to order the food. As a local, I will definitely understand this cuisine better than you. She said she was going to eat and relax, but in Jerry's heart these days it was no different from a real mess, worried about the work not being done and then about the twentieth day that Aber said she was going to go crazy.
Tomorrow was twenty, not knowing how the document that Aber said would be delivered made her extremely worried. Mai still has to work overtime, work the night shift, maybe she can't get it anymore. It's still nice to not admit Jerry, but remembering the look on Aber's face when he returned to William's family and also the sharp voice when talking to her is really unsettling and praying that everything will be okay.
"I finished my order, some Asian food might be to your taste." While wandering in thought, the clear voice of the female colleague in front of her pulled her back to reality.
"Oh yeah, do you also like Asian food?" Hearing that from her colleague, she couldn't help but be surprised, just met her but thought of her so much." Not really, just because I've eaten a few dishes before, it was quite satisfying."
The place for two people to eat serves all kinds of food from Asia to Europe, so most of the guests coming here are foreign guests, can't eat this or that, so they come to enjoy the familiar taste again. One of the highlights here is the view overlooking the street, from above, it looks nothing like the old streets of the past. Fashion stores here are open twenty-four hours, so shopping is very convenient, every time you come home late from work, you can stop by to choose a dress without having to wait until tomorrow morning or the next day. Vacation.
"Yes." Jerry nodded.
"Oh hey, when you come back home, remember to tell me once." She looked straight at Jerry and said.
"What's up, sister?" Jerry was curious, wondering what this colleague meant.
"The thing is, I haven't had the opportunity to travel anywhere for a long time, heard that your place is a big city, right? I heard from friends that there is a beautiful town there."
Jerry was a bit surprised by the words of the person in front of him, since coming here, this is the first time and the first person to know where she lives. She also wanted to go there to travel, but unfortunately, Jerry, she was hiding as if she was hiding from the war, so how could she take her on a trip or to the town? If he returned to appear in front of Lane's eyes and ears at this time, it would be no different from entering his own death, the more he thought about it, the more he saw that everything around was intentionally killing himself.
"I'll come back when it's more stable, then I'll definitely let you know." Jerry tried to force a smile, but deep inside that smile was so much content that his mind felt like it was going to explode.
The two talked for a while, the food was also brought out by the waiter with the bill to pay, this time her colleague paid, so she was more or less guilty. Decided to take her for a walk on a day off and then give her a drink.
Atea's side is very happy right now, Aunt Lam gave two large bags of gifts each to carry them back to her room, leaving the conversation for Lane to take care of. In the house, only Lane is suitable for Aunt Lam, every time she comes back, she spends the day talking about life for the two of them. At that age, Lane still knows several times more than other people her age, talking to Aunt Lam is always very easy, each time it seems to vent all the worries in her heart.
"Just now, auntie said there was a problem, what was it?" She just arranged the items her aunt gave her to put them in the box and asked.
"It's not a big deal. Ah, but I heard that Mr. William has handed over the management to you?" She looked straight at her as if she wanted to hear the truth.
"Yes, that's right, I gave it to you two weeks ago." Lane still responded with a respectful and leisurely attitude. If it was Mr. William, don't even think about her attitude.
"I remember helping little Athea with a job, everyone had a hard time finding a job when they graduated from college. Sisters won't be able to help each other." Suddenly she took Lane's hand, keeping her eyes fixed on hers.
"I've arranged a job for her, don't worry." Perhaps this was the first time Auntie Lam lowered her voice as if begging for someone, so Lane looked a little guilty. She was in a situation like this in the past, so she understood, but having gone through that grief, how could she let other people go through it? I can stand it but people are not sure, so no matter what, I still have to give Athea a chance to step in. Slowly, she learns and then becomes proficient. She used to study day by day, day by day to develop herself to improve her work level to get where she is today.
"Lane, I'm glad to hear you say that." She paused for a moment before continuing.
"Perhaps you didn't know when I was a kid, but everything I have today is purely due to my ability. But ability alone is not enough, thanks to a tailor shop owner accepting me. come to work. At that time, my aunt was in charge of simple tasks such as cutting, sewing, and embroidering, and gradually learned to do more good things. Then one day that store announced it was shutting down."
To Lane's surprise, she began to retell the story.
"At that time, I thought that there would be nowhere else to work, self-pity and unhappiness always existed in my head. But I never expected that it would be a big turning point in my life, thanks to the skills I learned. Okay, auntie opened her own shop. I personally designed many pieces of shirt to bring to the market that would never have caught the eye of a collaborator, that was the turning point that made her the lady she is today."
Lane has been listening to Aunt Lam ever since, perhaps because of this, she likes her better. Sitting and talking about life is always something that she and her aunt often talk about when she comes back to the country and comes to her room.
