It was One Night Only

I was running up and down trying to get the details ready for the wedding of the daughter of a senator. I wonder if all these people think that they can get things done with just a phone call just because they have the money for that. My crew and I were trying to make sure that all those wedding preparations were in place.

“Can I get a list of some of the new meals that the chefs learned on their trips overseas?” I ask the head of chefs sitting at the table. And he took down some notes again.”This meeting will be picked up from where we left it tomorrow” I say dispersing the meeting and everyone just left the board room except for Melissa, my secretary.

“Can you schedule a meeting with Senator Cooper and his wife?” I ask Melissa and she nods, taking down notes.

“I will send him an email right now,” she said, taking out her Macbook.

“Please tell them that we need to get the meeting this evening,” I tell her and she nods at me.

“I will speed up the process” she said, taking her leave out of the board room.

I will write down the things we are likely to need for this weekend. That is when my phone rings and I see that it is a call from my mom.

“Hello Mom,” I say, placing the phone next to my ear and still trying to scribble down all I can remember.

“Hello honey” my mom’s voice came through the phone. “You aren’t home, are you out drinking again?” my mom asked, trying to mock me.

“No Mom, I have another deal and this has been closed, so I had to rush out to finalize the details today,” I tell her and she hums an okay over the phone. “Okay darling take care, I will see you when I come to the office,” she said

“Okay Mom I gotta go,” I said, and then hung up and put the phone on the table. I looked down at the notepad and then saw the mistake I had made in my scribblings.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Cakes for tasting:

Japanese cheesecake

sponge cake

vanilla cake

orange cake

strawberries and chocolate cakes

drinking again?

I quickly canceled the drinking again and left the room.

“I got across to the senator and he said his wife and daughter are coming around to see you,” Melissa said when I got to her table that was stationed right outside mine.

“Okay then buzz me when they arrive” I inform her and she nods before getting back to organizing the needed things.

My buzzer rang and I picked it up and listened to it. “Ma’am I’m going to send them in now,” she said, referring to the senator’s wife and daughter.

“Okay Melissa come in with them,” I said before dropping the buzzer. Soon my door opened and two people who looked slightly the same age stood there.

“Come on in,” I said, giving them a warm smile and they came in. I wonder who the mom is and who the daughter is.

“So nice to have you here,” I say, ushering them to one of the seats in my big office. They both looked like proud girls who only used their daddy’s money to shop every day.

Since I was so confused about who the mom was I turned to Melissa. “Get the chef to bring in these cakes,” I say, giving Melissa the paper I had been writing on.

She nodded and then she left the office.

“So who is the bride?” I asked uncomfortably. this was the first time I got to do this on my own, usually, Mom and Dad are always here.

“That will be me,” the blonde said and I eyed her and gave her a lip-tight smile.

“And you must be her mom,” I said to the dark-haired girl.

“I’m not her mom, I’m just her dad’s wife,” she said as if I had offended her.

“I’m Maya,” the blonde said, looking at me.

“And I’m Clara” the supposed mom said, picking up her phone and tapping away. “Please let us get this over with. I’d rather be anywhere than here”she finished scrolling through her phone.

“And I told Dad that I’d rather go with my real mom,” Maya countered. Clara was about to talk but I stopped her. I don’t have time to lazy around. I have lots of details to go over.

“We will just go over to cake tasting,” I said when I saw Chef Robert bring in the cart filled with different flavored cakes.

For the next ten minutes, we were tasting cakes and explaining the flavor and everything to them and finally Maya spoke up and I was so happy that she did because we were already running out of time.

“We will have this one,” Maya said pointing to the strawberries and chocolate-flavored cake. “I love this one” she said and I sighed gratefully that she finally made her choice.

“This one is too conventional” Clara stated

“It’s my wedding,” Maya snapped at her. “You had yours when you sucked my dad to marry you” she continued.”So Rachael we will have this please”

“So why am I here?” Clara muttered while picking up her phone again.

“I don’t know,” Maya said harshly “We could try a few options?” she suggested.

“Just stop it,” Clara said, ignoring her.

“Moving on,” I said awkwardly.

“Yes Rachael,” Maya said when Robert gave her our electronic album for wedding cakes.

Finally, she chose one cake for her wedding and another for the bridal shower. She and her young mom were finally gone from my office and I could finally get to work.

And Maya had left me with a “Send the bill to Daddy”

I spent the entire day in the office looking through all the ingredients we needed to buy. Her bridal shower is in two days this Friday and her wedding is in three days I hope we can handle it well.
