*Alarm Rings
"Ugghh"
*Alarm Rings
"OMG, I'm late"
"Andrew is going to kill me"
I hurry to my closet, to pick out a dress and some heels and throw it on my bed. I run to the bathroom and grab my pick and Cantu to do my hair. After my hair is done I throw my outfit on.

Well allow me to introduce myself, my name is Liyah I am 23 years old and I live in New York City, I've been here for about three years. I'm from a small town called Warren, I'm Arkansas. I came to New York to make my dreams come true. See I always loved baking and cooking as a child, so when I finally had the opportunity to open up a shop here, I did. My baby "Liyah's Treats". I am very proud of it. I like to that I am a very independent person, which is why I probably only have two people helping me with my bakery, this girl named Liz and my best friend Andrew who is my personal assistant.

*Phone Rings
Speaking of the devil "Hellooo Andrew"
"Liyah, I thought you said you would be here at 10:30, it's almost 11:30"
"I'll be their, just hold them off"
"You have 20 minutes to get here!"
"OKAY!!"
"Hair done, clothes on and shoes on........"
"What the hell.....I forgot to beat my face. I refuse to go out without makeup"
"I got 15 minutes left, I can do this"

"And done"
As I run out my door and go down stairs I wave to my sweet old elderly neighbors and their dog. I hop in my little Toyota Corolla and I'm on my way to my bakery. As I pull up to my pride and joy, my bakery "LIYAH'S TREAT'S"

"Oh lord theirs Andrew" as I face plant myself.
"GIRL ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!"
"I—"
"I don't care, just get your butt in that office"
I smile and run to my office.
Ohh Andrew, he's been their for me, through thick and thin. I met him on my second week of staying in Manhattan. We met at a coffee shop down the street from my house. He accidentally bumped into me and  his coffee got on my shirt. He told me he was sorry and would buy me a new one. I told him it was okay and we exchanged numbers. Ever since that day we been really good friends.

"Mrs. And Mrs. Jackson, I'm so sorry I'm late. It's good to see you guys again" I say as I shake both of their hands and smile.
"Good to see you to Liyah" Mrs. Jackson says.

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are the best architects and and contractors in New York City. So I had to talk to them.

"I wanted to talk to you guys today because, I wanted to open up a new bakery in Albany. I would really like to expand my business everywhere."

"I love Albany, I think that would be an amazing place to put a bakery" Mr. Jackson says.

"So do you guys think you could help me with trying to do that" I smiled

"Yes we would love to-" Mrs. Jackson says but was cut off.
"But we are going to be busy all summer with other projects, so by time summer is over we can help you"

"Okay then, well I guess I will be seeing you guys in a few months"

"Alrighty then" Mrs. Jackson said.
I exchanged handshakes with them as Andrew walked them out.

"YES"! I screamed has I walked into my kitchen preparing ingredients to make a cake.
