A week later, the first week of July, 1990

Jasmine was back in her bakery, helping with the daily orders and checking on her big orders too,  she had hired two new pastry chef graduates to help her in the bakery

"Miss Rodriquez?" One of her new pastry chefs, Tony, asked

"Please, just call me Jasmine or Jaz" Jasmine replied "But how can I help you?" She asked while kneeding some dough

"There's an order but there's no delivery address to the order" Tony the new pastry chef mentioned

"Let me see the order" Jasmine replied and looked at the order she was handed "Oh this is a regular costumer, it's a pick up order, Ricky will pick it up around five PM" she explained

"Just Ricky? No last name or company name?" The confused pastry chef wondered

"He's a long term costumer and works in the security industry, I also know him personally" Jasmine explained

"Oh ok" Tony replied and went back to making the orders

Around four thirty Angel and Nicole ran into the kitchen area, followed by Ricky

"Stop running away" Ricky called after them and caught them just before they ran into an over door "Why do you two keep running away from me all day?" He asked shaking his head at them

"Because you don't buy us cookies!" Both girls told him

"Why do you think I took you girls here?" Ricky replied

"To see mommy?" Angel asked

"And to buy cookies" Ricky answered

"Yay" Both girls cheered and kissed his cheek

"So now I'm nice?" Ricky asked

"Yes" Both girls smiled

"Sir you're not allowed here, this is a staff only area, it's not safe for the kids here either, with all the ovens and sharp objects to work on the dough" Tony, the new pastry chef scolded Ricky

"Who are you?" Both girls asked and frowned at him

"I'm here to pick up an order and to see if I should drop Miss Jasmine's daughter Angel off at her parents house or her sister's house or if she's done for the day to drop her off here" Ricky explained to the new pastry chef

"Yes and mommy makes cookies" Angel told the pastry chef

"And daddy loves cookies too" Nicole added

"I thought Miss Rodriguez only had one daughter, not two?" The confused pastry chef wondered

"¿Disculpe? No, yo soy el jefe, no la señora que hace pedidos (Excuse me? No I am the boss, not the lady that places orders)" Jasmine who was on the phone and entered the kitchen scolded the person on the other end of the phone before she hung up "Joder, necesito un nuevo repartidor de choclat (Fuck, I need a new chocolate deliverer)" she sighed

"Oh Mala palabra Mamá (Oh, bad word mommy)" Angel gasped

"Angel" Jasmine gasped, not expecting them yet

"Sorry I'm a little early but I've to pick up the boss too" Ricky mentioned and looked at the pastry chef "You've got a new employee too?" he asked Jasmine

"Si, two actually, business is busy these days" Jasmine told Ricky "Tony can you help Rachelle with making the fondant for the wedding cake for tomorrow's delivery?" She mentioned looking at her new pastry chef
