Since she had Nicolas Melton to accompany her, Elaine James had enjoyed her life more. She had become as outgoing and cheerful as before.
On her birthday, Switzerland experienced the heaviest snowfall of this winter.
After class, Elaine plunged into the restaurant.
Because of the heavy snow, the number of customers in the entire restaurant was several times less than before. There were only a few scattered customers.
Nicolas smiled at her said, “With such a heavy snow, I thought Ms. James would not come.”
Elaine took off the hat on her head and patted the snow on her body, “How could I stand you up? Didn’t we both agree on the time? Have you prepared what I plead you to do?”
Nicolas nodded, “Ms. James, just go to the back kitchen.”
Elaine said happily, “Thank you!”
She trotted into the kitchen and found well-prepared molds and ingredients for cake.
Elaine took off her coat, rolled up the sleeves of her sweater, washed her hands, put on her gloves, took a deep breath, and stood in front of the workbench.
For the past two months, she has been learning cooking skills from Nicolas. And now her cooking skill was above average.
She had also learned to bake cakes before, but the cake was basically baked by Nicolas. She was just a sidekick then.
This was the first time she has tried to bake independently.
Elaine spent the whole afternoon there, engrossed in her baking.
At night, the restaurant was completely empty of customers.
Nicolas walked to Elaine and stand by her side. she had failed a few times and was trying different method.
He said, “Ms. James, let me help you.”
Elaine shook her head. “I want to do it myself.”
After a few more tries, Elaine finally baked the cake to what she wanted.
It also tasted very good.
Elaine said incredulously, “I made it!”
Nicolas smiled and said, “Congratulations, Ms. James.”
Elaine picked up the cake and went to the front hall with him.
She put the cake on the table and looked around, “There’s no one here?”
Nicolas said, “The snow is too heavy. It’s kind of lucky. No one will disturb Ms. James’ birthday.”
Elaine looked at him, “Thank you, you’re my best friend here!”
“Ms. James, you’re welcome.” Nicolas put up the candle and lit it with a lighter, “Ms. James, make a wish.”
Elaine nodded, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes.
First, she wished that both grandfather and father can be healthy and live a long life.
Second, she wished that all the friends around her can be safe and happy.
Third, she wished...
Just when Elaine was making a wish, the wind chime at the door rang. The sound was crispy clear.
Elaine opened her eyes and turned around, “Is there any guests?”
Nicolas looked over and saw no one, “I’ll go check it out.”
Elaine nodded, and her eyes fell on the cake with flickering candles in front of her.
This was the first time she has finished independently, and it’s her special birthday cake.
So her wish will definitely come true.
Soon, Nicolas came back with a beautifully packaged jewelry box in his hand, “There’s no one there. But I found this at the door. Is it a birthday present from your friend, Ms. James?”
Elaine was stunned, friend?
