Love is Second

16. Clara.

Rose and Norra could only fall silent while looking at the situation outside the shop which was still very quiet.

How not, other than the neighbors, not a single other customer came to visit their store. Usually, customers will immediately come flooding the place, as soon as reading the announcement stuck on the wall of the store. Even they had difficulty getting out of the house, because the court was also blocked by customers.

"It seems like they didn't read the announcement that I was sticking out of," muttered Norra, who a second later directly grabbed himself. It's impossible for customers not to come to their store when it closes yesterday. Some neighbors saw it too.

"Is it because we've been off too long, son?" Rose Yanh had just finished arranging the final cake, finally opening her voice.

Norra kontan shakes. "It doesn't seem like it, Mom. We haven't even opened a shop in over a month, have we, "the girl replied lethargicly, propped up with chins on a cake window.

Rose was silent for a moment. "Maybe, because the cakes we sell variants are not too much, right?" said the middle-aged woman then. Understandably, Rose is determined to maintain his trademark by only selling a few types of cakes.

Norra had advised him to add a variety and type of cake, but Rose refused to do so.

"Not really, Mom. They know Mother's cake shop is a famous legendary cake shop. Surely they know, I'll only sell certain types of cakes." Norra shook her head, trying to calm her mother's mind.

"Then, I seem to have to learn to make a cake that customers love. Honey, can you check out what kinds of cakes people like?" tell the mother later.

Norra raised her eyebrows. "Mom sure?" ask the girl.

Rose nodded. "We also need a renewal here and there" said the middle-aged woman, staring around the shop.

"Then, I'll find some people to help with our work!" norra's spirit.

Rose laughed a little.

...**********...

"Thank you, Mr. West." A tall man reached out his hand to Allen.

"Together, Mr. Bernard. It's nice to work with you." Allen kindly welcomed the man's hand. They just finished signing a cooperation agreement between the two companies.

Allen asked Sebastian to walk the man out of the room.

After they left, Allen rested his body on the chair, exhaling. It was a very busy day at the office. Several meetings and reports that had been delayed one by one were completed Allen.

"Go home, bro, you must be tired" Sebastian said as soon as he entered Allen's room.

"Is there nothing more I have to do?" ask Allen.

Sebastian sneering. "That's right! You got a lot of work, bro. However, I can't see that tangled face of yours!" yells.

Allen stretched his entire stiff body, then stood up from his seat of greatness. "I want to eat a snack. Come on!"

Sebastian couldn't resist, because anyway, the man did need a little diversion. As a result, the two went out. Allen invited her to eat at a small cafe across the street from the office.

...**********...

"Allen!"

As Allen and Sebastian were enjoying their sweet snack, suddenly the sound of a woman's voice rang out from a distance.

Allen reflexively turned to the source of the voice. His eyes were wide. And so is Sebastian.

"Oh, my God, it's true Allen turned out! Ahh, Bas, you're here too apparently!" Clara, a beautiful woman with a sexy look, ran over to their table.

He was a classmate of Allen, Sebastian, and Winstley during college, who also paid attention to the man (although Clara's age was three years above Allen's).

When Allen woke up from his coma, after Winstley's departure, Clara even had the opportunity to brashly steal the opportunity to approach Allen.

Since long ago, the woman was known to have a high level of selfishness. She was also an arrogant woman who liked to humble people. Allen never wanted to get close to him.

Greeted graciously by his beloved man, Clara was without permission to take an empty seat beside Allen.

"Clara, don't you live abroad now?" ask Sebastian.

Clara laughed bitterly. "Hahaha, yes. I just miss my hometown. Actually, I've been applying for a long time off to the agency. However, you know very well, my career as a model is being taken into account there. So, it took me a little longer until my agency allowed this leave."

Hearing Clara's explanation filled with arrogance, both Allen and Sebastian refrained from leaving.

"It's cool" praised Sebastian.

"Thank you" said Clara proudly. The woman turned her attention to Allen again.

"You yourself how's Allen?" ask Clara while carrying a chin. Her eyes occasionally winked sexy at the man.

"Hmm, it's normal. I was busy taking care of the office. Nothing special." Allen replied briefly.

Clara moved her index finger in front of Allen. "That's not what I mean," he said.

Allen raised his eyebrows high.

"Looking. Do you have any more Allen escorts?" Clara clarified her question.

Allen snorted small. "No." Answer's short.

Hearing Allen's reply, Clara laughed with excitement like a teenage girl in a closet. He even moved his chair a little closer towards Allen. "Why not? Is there someone you're waiting for?"

Allen frowned. "You mean?"

Clara quickly held Allen's hand.

Allen tried to break away, but Clara held him back with all her might. While Sebastian pretended not to see, but he was trying to hold back his laughter so as not to thunder.

"Of course I am. I've been abroad for too long, so maybe that's what keeps you lonely, right?" ask Clara confidently.

Allen was silent for a moment to control his emotions. "I just haven't forgotten Winstley." His hand slowly released Clara's grip.

"Oh." Clara looked lethargic. He knew it was hard for Allen to forget his beloved wife. Just as the woman was about to reopen her voice, suddenly someone came interrupting.

"Miss Clara, the order's done. Come on!"

Clara rolled her eyes irritated. "Fuckin' assistants. Don't see what I'm doing!" objurgation.

The woman then looked at Allen and Sebastian alternately. "All right then. Ahh, I'm having a return party in three days at home. I hope you come, or I'll haunt you." A flirtatious laugh came out of Clara's mouth.

"Okay, thank you for the invitation, Clara," the two men replied.

Clara stood up from her seat. "Don't come, will you? Bring whoever your partner is. We'll have a little reunion at my house. Hye!" As it passed, Clara gave a long-distance kiss to the two of them.

Allen and Sebastian compactly took his breath away, once Clara had gone from there. They were not even aware of when and how long they had held their breath.

"Maybe he'll come back here" Sebastian said.

" ... And he's still like that." Allen complained. His appetite suddenly disappeared.

"Yes. He didn't even ask me anything at all, other than greetings."

Hearing Sebastian's words just now, Allen reflexively turned towards the friend.

"What?" sebastian asked, raising one eyebrow high.
