With the tickets in hand, Gabrielle went out to look for Macy. She was still rattled by Jax's behavior today.
'How could someone so gentle become so overbearing in such a short time?' Gabrielle was really confused.
Humans were a complicated species, and she knew that.
"Gabrielle, I bought you a drink." Macy handed a beverage to Gabrielle the moment she saw her.
"Thank you." Gabrielle accepted it and took a sip.
"What were you two talking about, Gabrielle? Did something happen?" Macy asked with concern.
Gabrielle was her friend and she really cared about her.
"Nothing. Let's have lunch first." Truthfully, Gabrielle would rather not talk about Jax right now.
She needed some time to think about it alone.
"Sure. Let's go have lunch first, then go to the bakery. My mom knows that you'll drop by in the afternoon, and she's very happy about it. You know, I sometimes think that she likes you even more than me!" Macy said with amusement.
Upon hearing her say that, Gabrielle's mood became lighter.
"Oh, don't say that, Macy!" She couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.
"So, what do you want to eat, Gabrielle? If you still haven't made up your mind, I can remind you something." Macy had something in mind.
"Sure, what is it?" Gabrielle wasn't that interested in choosing a place to eat, so she agreed without hesitation.
"There's this restaurant that has really good beef noodles. I'll take you there. Come on!" Macy stated with glee.
"Sure, let's go!"
The restaurant wasn't that far from the bakery. It would only take around ten minutes to walk there.
Once they had finished eating lunch, they went straight to the bakery.
Upon seeing them, Sandra was delighted. "Gabrielle, it's so nice to see you!"
"Ah, Mrs. Taylor, thank you so much for agreeing to teach me." Gabrielle looked at her with a bright smile.
"You are most certainly welcome, my dear. You're the most talented student I've ever taught. You learned how to bake cakes so quickly and so well! But unfortunately, I've been invited to a foreign exchange meeting, and I have to be there tomorrow and come back after New Year's Day. If it weren't for you planning to make a cake for your family on Christmas, I could have much more time to teach you." Sandra was really fond of Gabrielle.
"Thank you, Mrs. Taylor. I'll do my best today!" Gabrielle understood what she meant.
Sandra had asked her to come here, because she was worried that nobody would be able to teach her how to bake cakes once she had left for that meeting.
"Go put on an apron first. Once I come back from that meeting, you can come by here and I'll teach you whenever you like." Sandra was so fond of Gabrielle that she was willing to teach her everything that she knew about baking.
"Mom, your daughter is right in front of you! It hurts when you're praising someone else, you know!" Macy looked at her mother with an aggrieved expression.
