"Hey, what's wrong?" Asks Jen.
"You haven't looked outside yet!" I practically yell in frustration.
"Geez girl calm down. Now tell me what's wrong." Jen says calmly.
I then explain to her the whole scenario with Luke. I also told her about my plan of winning back our customers.
"I still can't believe that we barely have any customers." Says Jen, clearly in a bad mood.
"So now you see why I'm coming up with a plan." I reply.
Our plan was to make a big discount sale on everything we had so that our prices were better then Luke's. By the time Jen and I finished working out the details of our plan it was already closing time.
"I'm so tired from all this scheming." Says Jen tired.
"Yeah same here."
Jen and I then close up our bakery for the night and go upstairs to our apartment. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that our bakery also came with an apartment upstairs from it. Our apartment was a two bedroom, two bath, it was a decent size. The apartment worked out great for Jen and me because we could easily open up shop even if we were somehow running late, which wasn't possible.
That Night
I had the hardest time trying to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about all the customers I lost. No matter what I did I still couldn't get to sleep. After failing at trying to sleep, I decided to head downstairs to the bakery to start baking some pies, cakes and cookies for the following business day. This may seem weird but yes when I can't sleep, I result into baking things.
*******
I tried making the least amount of noise as possible since Jen was a light sleeper. BANG! I dropped a baking pan. Gosh I better start being more quiet. I thought to myself. Then as I turned around I saw a dark figure right in front of me.
"I got you now." Say the voice.
I quickly reach for the lights and turn on the light and saw that the dark figure was Jen. I also noticed something in Jen's hand, it was a spatula!
"Jen what are you doing down here? And really a spatula, what would you do with that if I was actually a robber? Would you just whoop his ass to death with it?" I ask.
"Well that was the first thing I grabbed and I should ask you the same thing, what are you doing?"She replies.
I explained to her about me not being able to sleep. Jen then also said she couldn't sleep either so much. We then decided just stay up and bake the night away.
