Another New Day, Another new Shock.

"Okay, everyone gather up for this amazing news," Mr Fred called towards his co-workers who sluggishly came together, "thanks alot for being a lazy legs all of you, but putting that aside, today is going to be excellent!".

"let me guess, we are going to bake for a king?" Janice said with the most tiring look.

"No, but maybe. We are going to bake the cake for...." he was waiting for someone to speak up

"The greatest founder of a company?" Lydia asked.

"No!"

"A business man?" Janice tried her luck but it all went to a...

"No!!"

"The president?," Jace spoke up making Mr Fred slowly turn to his direction.

"WHAT!!!"

"Sir, I'm out of all thoughts, my brain is literally empty".

"Well, at least you would have said something else, why would the president ask us to bake a cake?, for his birthday?, or his anniversary?" Mr Fred asked feeling lost

"I don't know sir, I don't know" Jace took a deep breath before sitting down on the chair closeby.

"Anyways, today we are baking for a known man, the greatest moneymaker in town, another famous CEO..... Mr...."

"Smigos?"

"Jace, what is wrong with you! who is smigos now?, Did you sleep well in the night, what is happening to your brain!" Mr Fred asked Jace who continued looking at him like a sculpture.

"Sir, I guessed..... The name just popped into my head, and I just spilled it all out"

"Jace, you need to relax and calm down" Lydia placed her hands on his shoulders with a smile

"Yeah, not only Jace.... we all need to have a day off, maybe a vacation!" Janice protested.

Mr Fred took a good long time (5 seconds) thinking about the decision, of course he could agree for the vacation, but there was an order that needed to be done before the day ends.

"Fine, we all will have a vacation. That would be after baking the cake, okay?"

They were in high glee after hearing that. Vacations was always something every employee, not only employees, almost everyone always want to have, time for relaxing and doing otherwise except from working.

At the drop of a hat, Jace speeded to the supermarket, while Janice and Lydia headed straight towards the kitchen. They were all high-spirited, leaving Mr Fred shocked.....

"Just a word, 'vacation' made them like this, interesting phenomenon..... I will just be using it everytime I need them to do works...," Mr Fred rubbed his hands together with the thoughts flying into his head, "I'll be the king of bakeries".

"You know fully well we aren't stupid, Mr Fred!" Janice screamed the words from the kitchen already knowing her boss would think of using the word vacation as a weapon against them. Mr Fred just walked away with a frowned face....

"Don't worry, I'll find another way to make sure I will rule the world of bakery!" another thought came into his head.

"You will never find another way!" Janice again said making him grunt and walk straight into his office.

"Damn my co-workers with their quick thinking!".

After shutting the door, Jace came in with a bag filled with ingredients for the cake.

"Welcome back" Lydia greeted as soon as he entered.

"Thanks" Jace dropped the bag bringing out all the ingredients one after the other.

"You forgot the main auxillary ingredient!" Janice fired at Jace, making him flinch backwards in shock.

"I bought all..... flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, milk, vanilla extract, colorings, dried fruits... Oh I forgot egg" Jace changed pale when he soon noticed...

"we need to get that egg or else, I don't think this particular cake will be complete without it," Lydia said thinking of not returning back to the supermarket, "there's a farmer closeby who sells eggs which are cheap, but the hens are aggressive".

"don't worry, I'll get the eggs from this farmer and also battle the hens" Jace went out like a hero making the girls look at each other knowing he would come back in scratches.

45 minutes later...

"I'm back!," Jace voice made Lydia and Janice come out of the kitchen, but they were disappointed and also annoyed when they saw him holding unto just an egg, "I'm sorry, the hens are way too protective of their unhatched chicks" he fell on the floor, breaking the egg mistakenly.

"dude, your efforts are wasted... you just broke the egg" Lydia pushed his leg, but he remained on the floor with a tired body.

"anyways, I'll get the eggs!" Janice stormed out of the bakery, heading towards the farm with a clutched fist.

"don't go Janice, you may not live to tell the tale" Jace warned trying to stop her.

"Shut up you boy who chickens, CHICKENS!, beat up mercilessly" Janice left without another word.

Exactly after 60 seconds.....

"I'm back," this time it was Janice and she passed Jace who was still on the floor proudly, carrying a full basket of thirty six eggs, "I kicked those hens out and took their eggs, no stress, no problem, no scratches, no pain, no struggling, no effort!".

Jace and Lydia looked at her with sparkling eyes, she was like a hero, a real hero. Mr Fred came out only to see the situation, without another word, he went back into his office.

"let's get this cake baked!" Lydia said taking the final ingredient to the kitchen.

After many mixing later, a new cake was born. Looking good and fresh. And this time, they placed it in a safer position to prevent any further destructive circumstances, like running Mr Fred or clumsy Jace.

"Let's get this cake to it's owner and collect the cash!"Mr Fred said carefully bringing it out with the help of the others.

Suddenly, his phone rang....

'Ring.'

'Ring..'

'Ring....'

"Yes, hello?"

"I want to send a car to pick you all up, including the cake" it was a male's voice

"OH?" a black expensive car showed up immediately.

"I'm pretty sure you've gotten the car. I'll be expecting the delivery soon, Mr Fred" with that, the male ended the call.

"Everyone, this particular car will take us to... I just don't know, but to the place where we'll drop off this cake" Mr Fred announced, making all nod in understanding (fake understanding).

Minutes later, they were on the road. The car was way much spacious, wide and also beautiful at the inside than outside. The driver didn't spill a word on the way, even with Jace continuously asking for his name.

"What's your name?"

*silence*

"What's your name?"

*silence*

"What's your name?"

*silence*

After seven hundred what's your name later....

The car entered the widest, most beautiful surroundings ever. It was evening by then, and the entire place was filled with cars, highly expensive cars, top men and ladies who were dressed wonderfully with gracious steps and raised heads, paparazzi were also present but that was at another angle. The mansion screamed money, filthy rich money and it was a paradise on earth. Outside of the magnificent building danced in gold, the inside would be another gorgeous story.

Everyone was dressed in expensive glittering gowns and suits, everyone except for Mr Fred and his employees.

As soon as they stepped out with the cake, some men came to offer some helping hand, while some handed over a newly wrapped expensive cloth to Mr Fred, Janice, Jace and the most beautiful one to Lydia.

"The CEO suggest to wear this before any of you would step your leg into his mansion" the man who handed the clothes said rushing away.

"Please escuse me, may we know the name of this particular CEO" Lydia asked him politely before he hastily disappeared....

"Mr Ivan."
