Satisfied, Avery said, "Be nicer to Shelly.""I'm nice to her all the time, Mom," Hayden said. "I know that you want us to date, but you can't force this sort of thing.""I'm not forcing anything. I'm just asking that you treat her better. No matter what, she is Aiden's mom!" Avery reasoned with him. "She comes from poverty, so we should help her where we can."Hayden nodded and agreed, "Which is why I think you are doing great whenever you offer to help her. With you to look after her, I have nothing to worry about."Avery fell silent."I'm done, Mom." Hayden finished his milk and prepared to head out for work."Are you eating properly for lunch? I can always get the driver to deliver lunch to you." Avery was worried that he was not eating properly. Home-cooked meals would always be more nutritious than food outside."It's fine, Mom. I might not be in the office in the afternoon." Hayden wiped his lips with a tissue and headed out.In Courtney’s Cafe, Shelly received a text fr

After all, compromises were required for the bettering of the business.Shelly tensed for a few moments when she saw Hayden and forced a smile. "Hello, Mr. Tate. Aunty Avery told me that you are here to deliver the contract to me."Hayden took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed the one-paged contract to Shelly.Shelly accepted it and noticed that Hayden had already signed it, so she only needed to add her signature."I will grab a pen from my office. Please wait," she said before heading back to her office.Hayden was curious to see what her office looked like, so he followed her.From his perspective, the cafe was extremely small, and he was amazed that there was an office in such a small area.He followed Shelly curiously to her office and to his surprise, Courtney was there as well.When the staff called out for Shelly, Courtney wanted to go outside as well, but she had not put on makeup that morning when she went to work, so she hesitated, not expecting Hayden

Shelly immediately locked her phone and smiled at Courtney. "I don't have Mr. Tate's number, so you should use your phone! You just bought it right? The camera is better than mine.""You can take my number down now, then!" Hayden said before unlocking his own phone to give her his number.Shelly could not believe what she was hearing and stared at the screen."Shelly, hurry up! I'll take his number if you don't!" Courtney urged.Shelly hummed and hurried over to her desk. "I'm a little thirsty. Let me take a sip of water first."She fumbled for a glass as she unlocked her phone to navigate to the contact list. Thankfully, she only had the photo of the twins on her locked screen and not anywhere else.She took a sip of water and returned to take Hayden's number down."Mr. Tate, can I have your number as well? Don't worry. I won't bother you. I just want your number in my contact list so I will be more inspired to work hard when I look at your number!" said Courtney.Moved by her

[Have any of you been to this cafe? How do the cakes taste?][The cafe recently opened! I haven't bought anything from it before, but I plan to go there this afternoon! It's close to our office!][Let's go together and check out the cafe where our boss went to!][Me, too! Count me in!]...That afternoon, Courtney’s Cafe welcomed a group of employees from Dream Maker.Dream Maker did not have any uniforms that its employees had to wear, but they were all required to wear tags. When the staff members were starting to get overwhelmed, Shelly went outside to help, and when she spotted the tags worn by her customers, she asked in confusion, "Are you all from Dream Maker?""Yeah! Our boss bought desserts from your cafe today. Did you recognize him? His name is Hayden Tate! We are all here because he came!" one of the female employees chirped.Shelly was at a loss for words. She was astounded by how Hayden had managed to advertise her cafe without having to do much. "Your boss di

Shelly accepted the ticket and noticed that it was a concert hosted by an extremely famous musician from overseas; Shelly frequently played his music at her cafe. "These tickets are really hard to come by. I tried booking them online but couldn't get my hands on them." Shelly wanted to take the ticket but felt slightly embarrassed to do o."It's not that hard! My friends can get me tickets to anything," Layla said casually.Reassured, Shelly accepted the ticket happily. "Thank you, Layla! I will accept this, then! I really like this musician."Layla poured her a cup of tea and said, "Shelly, do you like talented, artistic men like him?"Shelly sipped her tea and blushed. "His music has soul, and every time I listen to it, I forget about all my troubles. A lot of people love him.""Yeah, I know. What I meant was if this is the type of man you like," Layla explained.Hayden had no talent for art and knew nothing apart from technology, so Layla knew that an unromantic man like him

"And sell him our cakes?" Shelly asked."Of course, not! If it's a single man, you can entice him with your charm and see if you stand a chance of landing a date!" the staff member said. "Don't you want to marry someone rich? Tomorrow is the perfect chance for that."Shelly flushed. "You've probably read too many romance novels. It's just a concert, and you manage to make so much out of it.""Ms. Taylor, you don't go out much. I know plenty of girls who ran into handsome guys on the street and went up to them to ask for their numbers. Some got a date and some even have kids by now," the staff member said.Shelly listened with interest and said, "Alright. Keep your imagination at bay. I only have one goal right now, and that is to focus on the cafe so that we can make enough profit to afford a bigger place. Of course, you all need a raise as well."The staff member's eyes lit up. "Are we getting a raise, Ms. Taylor?"She nodded. "Yes, you are getting one this month.""You are awe

The two recognized each other right away.Shelly wore a duckbill cap and a mask that covered her face completely, but her eyes were unmistakable. They were round and bright as if they had yet to be tainted by the harshness of the world."Did you buy your own ticket?" Hayden asked suspiciously."No, Layla gave me the ticket," Shelly was also confused. "Did Layla give you your ticket, too?"Hayden nodded.Shelly instantly felt awkward and restless at the realization that Layla was clearly trying to set them up, and she wondered if Hayden would be angry about it.Spotting Shelly's bewildered expression, Hayden pondered for a moment before opening his mouth to speak."Don't mind—""Mr. Tate—"The two spoke at the same time."Please, go ahead," Shelly politely urged Hayden to speak.Hayden wanted to know what she was thinking, so he responded politely, "You go first!""Oh, alright!" Shelly took a deep breath and said, "Please don't be angry with Layla because of this. Even if he

No one cared about what he did at home, or what he did in the company. They only cared about whether he was holding his son or if he was fulfilling his fatherly duties. Two hours later, the concert came to an end, and Shelly was planning to leave when she noticed a woman sitting on the other side of her walking towards the stage. She looked like she was going to take a photo with the musician. Shocked, she asked, "Can we go up on stage to take a photo with the musician?""Those in the front row can do so," Hayden said."Huh? Really? Can I go, then?!" Shelly's eyes lit up with excitement.Hayden nodded. "I'll accompany you.""Great! Thank you!" Shelly exclaimed.The two of them walked toward the stage, queuing behind the audience members who had gone ahead.Before long, it was Shelly's turn.Shelly unlocked her phone and handed it to the staff member who was helping with the photographs while Hayden stood quietly beside her, observing.After taking the photo with the musicia
