Let's recall....

Throughout the night was awful, Lydia was fully thinking on the gifts and mainly, the invitation. She decided to tell Mr Fred the following morning, but that would be after seeing what's inside the invitation card.

"Why did I have that dream?" she tossed on her bed trying to remember what has been going on during her days. "or was it because I saw the CEO?"

Sitting up, Lydia soon realized it had to do with what happened some weeks ago. "maybe it was that which triggered the dream!"....

2 WEEKS AGO...

"Today, we bake for a king" Mr Fred stood on the table, holding up a frypan as Jace pointed a touch light on him.

"Sir, we just have to bake for a businessman who's filthy rich" Janice said opening curtains, so light can enter into the shop and also to end the awkward activity going on.

"Janice, I'm your boss so when I say bake for the king, you should follow up, Now shut the curtains!" Janice did as she was told.

"Okay where was I.... Yes!, Today we bake for a king!" he continued standing in a mighty posture and this time, Lydia played a powerful musical tune to make what he was doing look powerful.

"That's it!, I can't stand here and watch this" Janice took her leave to the kitchen.

"me too" Lydia excused herself and ran towards the kitchen also....

"whoa look at the time, muffins are baking gonna go check it out!" jace also didn't want to endure the pain of seeing Mr Fred in an awkward position, so with a swift he ran towards the kitchen also.

"That's so rude guys, come out now!" Mr Fred screamed but nobody came out. "that's it, I'm taking this out of your pay...." he almost completed the words when the sound of an ice cream truck interrupted him.

"Oh! ice cream".

Hours passed by before the cake was finally baked, it was actually a simple yet expertly baked Cake, any procedure missed would cause forever destruction. Decorated with only white frosting and some berries, the six layer cake stood tall and mighty.

"That's our cake, the cake we baked for seven hours plus!" Janice wiped the invisible sweat from her face with her sleeves.

"Yup definitely worth it!" Lydia smiled at the beautiful cake standing tall and strong. The door was suddenly opened wide, as Mr Fred came rushing in.

"girls I found the ice cream man who gives me free vanilla flavor Everytime" he was actually rushing towards them, not noticing the cake at the very front.

"Mr Fred!.... The cake!!!" Lydia and Janice ran in slow motion to stop him from destroying the cake, but it was way too late. He tripped and fell right on the cake as his ice cream flew and landed on the floor..... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" both girls screamed, it was a scream of frustration, anger and saddness.

"NOOOOO!" mr Fred screamed also, not because of the cake but also because of his ice cream which was now ruined, "I can't eat this again".

"Sir!"

Mr Fred turned back only to see the cake destroyed, flattened and totally ruined....

"help me!" the cake imaginarily said before passing out.

"You ruined the cake!" Lydia eyes were already turning watery.

"Seven hours! Seven hours!! Seven hours!!!, Wasted just like that!!!" Janice eyes twitched angrily as she stared sharply at Mr Fred.

"Oh my!, I'm so sorry girls.... we can bake another right?" he questioned looking for answers, but none came only angry screams.

"Sir, look at the time" Janice pointed at her phone's time to Mr Fred.

"Yes.... it's 4:23pm?" he was totally confused about what was going on, why she was pointing out the time to him.

"Sir! it's 4:23pm and the party is starting by 4:37pm, to bake this cake again, full and fresh would be around 11pm!!!" she was really freaking out and it was the only thing to do.

"it's barely fifteen minutes from now" Mr Fred rushed to pack up the cake from the floor and started putting it back in place, the girls also helped and at the end, the cake was placed back to it's layer.

But it was looking as if a disease attacked it. From the beautiful wondrous cake, to the ugliest looking cake history has recorded. Just then, Jace came in and was struck instantly dead ironically by the cake's ugliness.....

"Holy Comoly! is that what you two baked!!!"

"NOOOO!!!, Well Yes, But not in this way, Mr Fred destroyed it entirely!" Janice was always the first to speak up.

"At least we are done" Mr Fred smiled nervously as everyone shot him angry glares, including Jace who wasn't there in the first place.

"But we need to get this cake to the party like this" he pushed the cake outside and placed it in the boot of his car, he totally forgot to lock the boot due to rush.

"okay, everyone let's get going" urging them one by one to enter the car, he drove away with speed to the party.

Two minutes driving wasn't something to worry about, Mr Fred was actually driving with speed to get there. As the car drove, a little bump occurred making everyone to be unsure but they pushed it aside.

"guys, why does that white stuff on the road looks like our cake?" Jace innocently asked after looking back.

"well, I didn't remember closing the car's boot..." Mr Fred immediately stepped on the brakes as soon as he said that.

"THAT IS OUR CAKE!!!".

Finally, they got to the party with the most nervous face ever. They were going pale slowly and also quickly.

"Today's the worst!" Mr Fred declared shaking inwardly. The cake was behind them, on a mighty rollable table, but it was covered with a cloth so as to hide the beautiful cake everyone was ready and eager to taste. Whereas, beautiful is a strong word because for this cake, the word beautiful is entirely opposite.

"guys" Jace called with a trembling voice

"shhh, keep quiet Jace!" Janice said still nervous

"Guys!" his voice sounded seriously trembling now, so Mr Fred, Janice and Lydia turned back and were filled with shock.

"where's our table?, where's our cake?" the beginning of freaking out started but it became worst when Mr Fred heard his name being called in a sentence

"We at last are going to open Mr Fred's cake!".

Everyone was already preparing to see the magnificent beauty, while Mr Fred and his employees were getting ready to be kicked out, humiliated and embarrassed for life.

The cloth was removed and the entire gathering were filled with awe.

"that's it, let's get out of here" Jace said moving outside but actually everyone was gasping in surprise....

Mr Fred was shocked to see what his cake has become.

It was magnificent, beauty! and wonderful. It was a seven layers white beautiful cake, with golden strips around and it sparkled entirely.

"now I know why it's the best Bakery in the city" the host of the party burst into unending tears. The rest were also amazed, the compliments were also unending.

"the taste is marvelous!" a woman screamed as she took a bite.

With the happy guests and the money loaded on Mr Fred, Lydia looked up and saw a man who was drinking a wine up in the darkness, he was the CEO everyone feared. He was invited to the party but didn't spare anyone a glance, except for Lydia.

Even in the darkness, his stunning appearance was visible and to her surprise, he slightly smiled then turned away.

Lydia knew immediately it must be his doing. But conclusions can't be drawn now, he's a feared cold CEO no one should ever cross roads with.

However, the party ended with different people surely happy. Mr Fred and his employees were also happy, even if they don't know who did the save, they were totally grateful.

Meanwhile, Lydia was totally confused.

PRESENT....

Lydia couldn't understand, neither really think the incident was that which brought the dream. With much thoughts, she fell asleep.

The invitation card laying down untouched on the table closeby.
