CHAPTER 20

it's later in the day now and we have just been focusing on the kitchen, me and Noah both just getting it all done so I can focus on the inside and outside of the bakery tomorrow and everything. Noah has been a really big help and I'm so grateful because I couldn't have done it without him. He mentioned that he was going to show me where he worked which I was so excited about, I was wondering where it could be because he has never mentioned it before he has just said he likes cooking, that's it.

"thanks for helping me today" I say thanking him while tidying everything up before we leave.

"no problem, you did most of it anyways" he says helping me tidy

"for real though, I couldn't have done it without you so thank you" I say looking up at him. he just smiles.

we finish the tidying and then go go leave the bakery, turned all the lights off and everything.

I lock the door and then face Noah who was stood behind me.

"okay so, is this the time where i see your work" I say with a smile on my face

"If you insist, I think you'll like it" he says smiling back.

we both walk down the street past my bakery with the beach in front of us. We carry on waking for a few minutes and then in the distance I see the restaurant that we went to a few nights ago, light up and everything. still pretty as ever.

"look it's the restaurant we went to the other night" I say pointing it out to him.

"oh yeah" he says looking in front of us smirking. why was he smirking?

we walk more down the street until he just stops and looks at me. Then I realise he stopped at the restaurant we went to the other day.

"why did you stop here" I say looking  behind to look at the restaurant then back at him.

"well.. i work here" he says to me smiling.

"no way, you work here? that's so cool" I say in pure shock

"hmm, well.. I don't just work here. so basically you know I said 2 years ago I moved here and got a job down here well it was this then 6 months down the line the manager moved on to another job so then I got the manager job and worked my self up so now I own this place" he says looking up at the restaurant and then back at me, my mouth was wide open gaping, I was so shocked.

"wow. why didn't you tell me when you took me here the other day?" I say cracking a smile.

"a surprise I guess" he says smiling back.

"that's why you paid because you didn't actually have to pay because you one this place" I say just realising.

"aha, basically yeah, I wouldn't have let you paid even if I didn't own this place" he says
smiling at me, I smile back.

he starts to walk in and I follow him and just to see all the staff cleaning and packing up to end the day.

he says hello to all his staff which seemed really nice as well and took me to a table, like the one we sat at the other night. It was really nice, really tropical restaurant, not dark or anything just really colourful.

"do you want anything to eat or drink?" he says asking me

"just a lemonade please" I say and he smiles and goes off to get my drink.

he comes back with 2 lemonades with one of those fancy umbrellas in the drink and a slice of orange on the side of the glass.

"I still can't believe you own this place and cook stuff for people and everything, pretty amazing if you ask me" I say facing him smiling.

"I'm a person of many talents" he says copying of what I said earlier, smiling.
