The grand opening of Tasty treats part two

Stef's: POV
Tasty treats bakery was filled with people
Lena's Staff was walking around offering guests simples of the desserts. Lena prepared, l was standing beside Lena
Where the photographer was taking pictures of us and our family, tonight was a huge success. The caters did an amazing job with the food, some of the local businesses in the area came out to check out the new bakery in town
Lena was asked questions from the anchor woman from News 3 asked Lena basic questions how she got started in the bakery business. Lena shared her story about her she went to culinary institute of London, where she studied under some of the best chefs around. And how she went into business for herself, Lena went on to say she found a beat up old restaurant in San Francisco. Had it remodeled and turned it into a bakery, and called sweet tooth
She hired a team. Lena told the woman she's trained over ten people, under Lena's leadership. Some of them own their own bakeries, and have lead top businesses in different parts of the city. Lena needed some fresh air
She was getting a little overwhelmed, Lena's like Frankie
Doesn't do well with crowds. Lena gave one a hell of a speech, l came out carrying a bottle of water
Babe are you doing ok, Stef asks as she handed Lena some water. Sometimes it could be bit much for me
With all those people, l still stuffed from anxiety even at my age. Lena says to me as she takes a sip of her drink
Baby it's nothing to be ashamed of. I use to have panic attacks when I was on the force, Stef admitted. Lena never known about this. Even after the years they been together
Stef was still mysterious to Lena, but she was slowly coming around in terms of opening up. Shall we head back inside, Stef said as she took Lena's hand and they went back in. The camera crew finally left, Dana Stuart
Came over to congratulate their daughter and daughter in law on a job well done. They were hugs and kisses
Dana was proud of Lena's accomplishments, Francesca and Ariana were sitting down at the table eating. Stef watched them like a hawk in the corner of her eye
Lena excused herself and walked over to thanked everyone for coming to her grand opening, by shaking each person's hand. Chris was just was working the room
Carrying a serving tray, Emory went to refill drinks
Nobody had to tell her what to do. The other crew was just standing around not quite sure what to do, Lena already gave them each an assignment as to what their task was going to be. As soon as saw me look over at them
They went to find something to do, nobody has time for lazy employees. They were not gonna mess up my baby's night, l decided to slipped away for a second
I didn't wanna raised my voice in front of these people
You four follow me in the back please Stef said
They headed towards the back. When we got to the back
Why did I you guys standing around and not doing your job. I don't paid to just stand, Lena gave you a task to do
Correct, it's bad enough you didn't show up for an important meeting next week. She sent you all text messages, you understood the rules when you were hired
She doesn't ask for much from you guys. This is a special night for her, if was up to me you all would be out the door. When she gives an order you do it Stef States
We're sorry Ms. Stef we didn't have anything else to do
Jordan replies, well Chris and Emory were doing their job
All l'm hearing is nothing but excuses. I find it very disrespectful. All you guys sat in that interview room
Asking for a chance to work here, l'm telling you right now. Get together or you're fine yourselves out that door
Now go back out there and get to work Stef Stated,
We all went back out to the front. I walked over to see about my girls, who were having desserts. Hi my loves
Are you enjoying yourself Stef asks, yes momma
Ariana says as she eating a slice of strawberry shortcake
Frankie was having banana pudding Lena made all these sweet treats, Lena doesn't allow Ariana and Frankie to have much sugar. Lena rarely eats herself, l'm always testing anything she makes from scratch. I wanna be able to get into my dress for the wedding in a couple months
Lena's been watching her figure lately, there's nothing wrong with her weight. She has the body of a model
Lena worked out during both pregnancies, she goes on morning runs. It's something we use to together when we lived in San Francisco, since we got all that exercise equipment. We work out at home, Lena goes jogging from time to time,
