Elena, who had to help her parents serve the customers who were waiting in line, just smiled a little while raising one hand in the air, signaling Cecil to wait patiently for her to come. Jason, who understood Elena’s busyness, then spoke to Cecil, trying to distract the little girl. Elena’s lips curled at what Jason had done.

“Elena, shouldn’t you have started work today?”

Elena smiled. “My first day starts tomorrow, mom,” she lied.

“Oh, I see, now you can help your father serve the customers,” said Mrs. Camila gently.

Elena nodded quickly, after putting on the gloves that had been prepared, Elena immediately stood next to her father, serving the buyers who had provided proof of payment. It was at lunchtime like this that the Wilson family’s cake shop would be bustling, the main reason of course being Elena, the shop owner’s daughter. It was Elena’s sweet smile and friendliness that made shoppers willing to cram into the not-too-large cake shop.

Actually Elena already knew about this, she also felt uncomfortable and disturbed, but because she couldn’t do anything, Elena finally let everything go and continued to do her job. Elena’s principle, as long as they didn’t touch her directly then she could still tolerate it. After all, Elena’s ears were already quite immune to the temptations of flirtatious men like the customers of her family’s cake shop.

.....

“Oh, there’s Elena, it’s no wonder the shop is busy,” said Bianca, Cecil’s mother, teasing Elena. “Put your hands up, Elena. These cookies are still hot right out of the oven.”

Elena who understood immediately stepped away from the front of the display case, giving Bianca space to fill the window with dozens of delicious cakes that were still warm.

“Thank you, Bianca.”

Bianca nodded slowly, because Bianca had finished doing her job and returned to the kitchen where she and her husband George baked and decorated the cake that had previously been made by Mrs. Camila, Elena’s mother.

After two hours had passed, the cake shop finally opened up again, and the group of flirtatious men who always came at lunch finally left. Elena, who was tired then reached for the water bottle that her mother had provided under the display case where dozens of cakes were on display.

“Accompany Jason, he is waiting for you, dear,” said Mrs. Camila again.

Elena who had just downed her drink nodded slowly and quickly left where her parents were at the table where Jason was still joking with Cecil.

“It’s finished?”

Elena nodded slowly. “Sorry, make you wait.”

“That’s not a problem, Elena. Don’t worry about it, oh yeah what about the company that has accepted you? Clarke Enterprise is a big company, right?”

Elena pursed her lips. “Don’t ask, Jason. Clarke Enterprise has subsidiaries spread across almost every continent in the world, so you can judge for yourself how big the company is.”

Jason immediately raised his hands in the air. “Sorry I’m not good at that.”

“Never mind, don’t tease me, where’s my Red Velvet cake?”

With her tiny hands Cecil pushed a small plate of Red Velvet cake pieces at Elena. “This is for you, sis,” she answered excitedly.

“Wow... looks delicious, thanks Cecil.”

Cecil nodded quickly and again filled her mouth with pieces of cake that had fallen apart on her plate, seeing how voraciously Cecil ate made Elena smile.

“Eat Elena, don’t just look at Cecil,” Jason said quietly, breaking Elena’s thoughts.

Elena, who wasn’t hungry before then, started to enjoy the cake that Jason had brought with a big smile, her eyes immediately widened when she felt how sweet the cake was. As a person who doesn’t really love sweets, Elena immediately put her fork next to the plate and took a tissue to wipe her lips from the remaining cream.

“Too much sugar, huh?” guessed Jason.

“Yeah hehe...but it’s delicious, really,” Elena answered quickly, trying not to offend Jason.

“I already guessed, because the cake shop where I used to buy it was closed. So I bought this cake at another shop,” Jason said slowly, explaining to Elena why the cake he brought this time tasted so sweet, since I knew Elena didn’t like sweet food too much. Jason always ordered at his regular cake shop to make something different for Elena.

“It’s ok, at least Cecil likes it a lot.”

Jason smiled. “Yeah you’re right.”

Elena reached her hand towards Cecil, wiped her cheeks which were already covered with pink cream using a tissue.

“Elena.”

“Hm..”

“Can we talk in the garden?”

Elena immediately turned her face to look at Jason. “Garden?”

“Yeah, there’s something serious I want to talk to you about.”

“Okay, I’ll talk to Bianca first then.”

Jason nodded his approval to Elena, seeing Jason’s approval slowly Elena got up from her chair and walked to the kitchen to tell Bianca that she was leaving Cecil. Bianca who understands immediately asks Elena and Jason to leave immediately, as someone who knows Jason well, Bianca fully supports if Elena becomes Jason’s lover.

After removing the apron that was still attached to her body, Elena rushed towards the exit following Jason who was already standing right in front of the entrance waiting for Elena. As soon as Elena came out, Jason then stepped into the park which was not far from the cake shop owned by Elena’s family.

“Looks like I have something important to hear this time,” Elena said quietly, starting the conversation as soon as she and Jason sat down on a park bench.

Instead of answering Elena’s question, Jason looked up at the Luxembourg sky which was a little overcast. “I got a promotion, Elena.”

“Wow...that’s great news! I’m so glad to hear that.” Elena gave a small, spontaneous shriek.

Jason’s languid smile widened. “But I’m confused.”

“Confused? Why be confused? This is a great opportunity, Jason. An opportunity like this won’t come twice.”

Jason smiled, slowly turning his face towards Elena. “I’m confused because I will be far away from you later.”

“Does it mean?”

“I’m moving to the town of Echternach, Elena,” Jason answered hoarsely. “In that city I was appointed fire chief at headquarters and because of that it is certain that we will see each other less often, Elena. Maybe even in a month I won’t be able to guarantee that ...”

“I support you, Jason. Don’t waste this opportunity, you have to take it. As a good friend I support you to get a better career,” said Elena quickly cutting Jason’s words.

“F-friend?”

Elena nodded. “No, not just friends. But good friends, you are the only good friend I have in this town, Jason. Because of that I will be the best support system for you,” Elena chirped innocently, Elena couldn’t read the disappointed expression and the sadness that Jason gave off at this time.

Jason, who had harbored feelings for Elena for the past two years, was very surprised to hear Elena’s words, which only considered him a good friend, even so Jason tried to remain calm to cover up his deepest feelings so that Elena would not be surprised by his true feelings for Elena. Jason still didn’t want to express his feelings for Elena right now, not when he was about to part with Elena.
