Chapter 177: Lucy

"Jeez! I can't find the stock of the cake flour!"

I found Jack complaining in the kitchen the next day and I can't help but frown as she has left most of the drawers open.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to buy extra bags the last time I went to the supermarket." Lily, one of the maids replied as she turned to her with a pout.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why are you looking for cake flour?" I asked as I glanced at the wall clock above the fridge. It's already 1 pm and I just woke up so I skipped breakfast and lunch. "Aww! Why, Lily, why?" Jack pretended to be crying but Lily just laughed at her.

"What will you do with the cake flour?" I asked again. I walked past her and took the pitcher of orange juice from the fridge.

"I'm thinking of baking a mocha cake," she replied which caused me to spill the juice out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry, but you're what?" I bit my lip to stifle my grin.

"I'm going to bake a chocolate mocha cake," she gave me a shrug.

"Whoa! But you don't know how to bake!" I blurted out laughing which she narrowed her eyes at me.

"That's why I'm going to try, duh!"

"Oh, okay," I said nodding. "I'll buy you cake flour and some ingredients you will need for baking later, but can I have my brunch first? I'm starving, you know,"

"Ahhh... thank you, you are really the best of all my best friends!" she even hugged me from behind.

"Tss! I'm your only best friend, hello!"

"Oh, yeah, I forgot, but let me serve your food so that we are even. You'll buy me ingredients and I'll serve you your food!"
