NovelEnglishShelly immediately locked her phone and smiled at Courtney. "I don't have Mr. Tate's number, so you should use your phone! You
just bought it right? The camera is better than mine."
"You can take my number down now, then!" Hayden said before unlocking his own phone to give her his number.
Shelly could not believe what she was hearing and stared at the screen.
"Shelly, hurry up! I'll take his number if you don't!" Courtney urged.
Shelly hummed and hurried over to her desk. "I'm a little thirsty. Lettake a sip of water first."
She fumbled for a glass as she unlocked her phone to navigate to the contact list. Thankfully, she only had the photo of the twins
on her locked screen and not anywhere else.
She took a sip of water and returned to take Hayden's number down.
"Mr. Tate, can | have your number as well? Don't worry. | won't bother you. | just want your number in my contact list so | will be
more inspired to work hard when | look at your number!" said Courtney.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMoved by her sincerity, he nodded in agreement.
After Courtney successfully added Hayden's number, she continued to persuade him into accepting the cakes. "Mr. Tate, it's okay if
you don't eat them. You can give them to your assistant or secretary. The cakes in our shop are not bad; not as terrible as you
might think, at least," Courtney said enthusiastically.
"My mom forcedto eat them once," Hayden said.
Hayden did not really want to use the word ‘forced,’ but it was the truth, as Avery wanted him to acknowledge that the cakes in
Shelly's cafe were not as bad as he might think.
"Huh? Hahaha! Is your mom that forceful?" Courtney had the impression that Avery was gentle, intellectual, and dignified, so she
had not expected Avery to force her son to eat cakes
After packing a bag of cakes for Hayden, Courtney respectfully saw him off. "Mr. Tate, pleasee and visit whenever you have
time! We will always wee you!"
As Hayden walked to his car, he turned back to take a look while Shelly stood shyly behind Courtney.
"Shelly, he's looking at you! He's looking at you!" Courtney chirped excitedly to Shelly when Hayden turned around.
"I think he's looking at you. You're so enthusiastic and beautiful. If | were a man, | would like you too," Shelly said.
Courtney's eyes lit up. "Really?! Shelly, don't lie to me!"
"I'm not lying to you. If he likes you, I'll be the first to support you. With you as Aiden's stepmother, | would be so relieved."
If someone had to be a stepmother to Aiden, Shelly would definitely choose her best friend for the role.
"Well... you might be overthinking. Although | admire Hayden, | only want to sleep with him. | never thought about marrying him.
The Fosters isn't a family | can marry into. | wouldn't even dare to dream of that!" Courtney burst into laughter.
Courtney cfrom a much better family background than Shelly, and if even she felt inferior even in front of Hayden, Shelly
would not dare entertain the thought of entering into a relationship with Hayden.
Hayden drove back to thepany and gave the cakes to the receptionist.
The receptionist was ecstatic when she received the cakes from him and said gleefully, "Thank you, Mr. Tate! Thank you! | will work
hard!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as Hayden entered the elevator, the receptionist immediately took out her phone, snapped a photo of the cakes, and
posted it on her social media with a caption. [Cakes from Mr. Tate! This is the best day ever!]
Before long, the news spread throughout the entirepany, and the female employees soon found out that Hayden had bought
the cakes from Courtney's Cafe.
