Having finished her leave, Jane Sampson first went to the dressing room to change out of her costus and then called Coco Edwards back to the hotel, and after removing her makeup and taking a bath, Jane drove Coco ho before finally driving to the dessert shop that had been arranged earlier.
But it happened to be a Friday, and the traffic jam on the road had delayed her significantly. By the ti Jane arrived at the DIY dessert workshop, it was already past 6 o’clock.
Entering the shop, Jane saw the ti and felt a rush of anxiety.
"I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t expect the traffic to be so bad, so I’m this late," Jane apologized as she entered, feeling rather embarrassed since she was almost one hour later than initially planned.
The shop owner was a young girl who hadn’t expected such a big star like Jane to keep apologizing for being late. Originally without any hard feelings, the owner now found herself liking Jane even more.
"It’s okay. Traffic is unpredictable here in the Capital Province, and I know Miss Sampson is busy. Knowing it was not intentional is enough for ," the owner smiled and then said, "However, since you ntioned you wanted to start from the very first step on your own, I am a bit worried you won’t have enough ti."
"It’s fine. It can be late, as long as I can bring the cake back ho before midnight," Jane said with an apologetic smile, "I’m pretty good at cooking, but making desserts is not my strong suit. I’ll need you to bear with ."
For Jas Black’s birthday, Jane couldn’t think of what to give him. Initially, she had probed to find out what Jas wanted, hoping he would tell her directly, just as he did on Valentine’s Day.
Unfortunately, Jas didn’t say anything, leaving Jane feeling quite distressed.
Unable to figure out what birthday gift to give to Jas, Jane finally made an appointnt with the dessert shop to make a birthday cake for him by herself.
But Jane had drastically overestimated her learning ability in the dessert-crafting departnt.
She had tried making so small desserts at ho before. Although they weren’t very pretty and the taste was just diocre, she always thought making a cake couldn’t be that hard.
But after one failure, she finally realized just how difficult it really was.
It was very difficult indeed.
Her talent for cooking did not extend to cake making.
It was more than nine o’clock in the evening when Jane received a call from Jas. While turning her head to glance at the sky outside the window, she looked down at the cake in front of her, which was cut as if gnawed by a dog, and then she swallowed her saliva before answering the call.
"It’s already past 9 p.m. now, how much longer until you get ho?" Jas asked in a tone laced with urgency.
"Have you been ho for a long ti?" Jane asked tentatively.
Jas looked at his watch and replied thoughtfully, "I’ve been ho for about two hours."
In reality, Jas had only gone back to the dormitory after training to grab sothing, then drove ho. He had arrived ho by 6:30.
He ca back without having taken a bath or finished his al.
On his way ho, he had thought that Jane might have already arrived ho but, upon entering and seeing the empty house, Jas decided to take a bath first. Then he went to the study, where he read a book while waiting for Jane to return.
