Elena nodded and smiled. "Yes, many things have happened to me during this year. But I'm grateful to have Dean in my life." Elena kissed Dean's cheeks who were in her arms.

Shelina saw Elena's smile and affectionate gaze at Dean. Yes, everyone must have their own problems and struggles in life. Elena's story does sound strange when heard by other people. But wasn't Shelina's life in the past also weirder. Previously she was engaged and wanted to marry a man who was the father of her ex lover. And in the end, Shelina married her ex and gave birth to a handsome son named Denis. Life really is unpredictable.

​​

"Then what about Diego?" Asked shelina again. She had met and talked to the man several times.

Shelina clearly knew that this man was a kind man who really loved and loved Elena.

"At first, Diego was very disappointed and finally he was able to accept me back. And we plan to continue our marriage. But, maybe God does not approve of your relationship. Or we are not matched. Because it turns out that Diego has impregnated another woman who is my best friend."

"What?!"

"Diego got drunk and impregnated my best friend mira. And Diego must be responsible for the fetus that Mira was carrying. Maybe we both are not matched."

"You must be disappointed and angry with those two who betrayed you secretly, right?"

"Just a little surprised and disappointed. But I'm not at all angry with Diego or Mira. I realize that I can no longer give my whole heart to Diego's brother. And I understand why Mira can be attracted and fall in love with Diego's leg. So , I tolerate and bless their relationship both. "

"You are indeed a strong woman I admire." Said Shelina.

"No, you are the strongest woman I know. And I learned a lot from you." Said Elena. If you remember how the struggle of Shelina, who is a female commercial sex worker, has become a cafe owner and the wife of the heir of a large company. Amazed Elena. Amazed by the struggle and how hard Shelina lived her life. And Elena also can't give up and fight in her life for her own happiness.

"You've always been humble, Elena."

"So, when can you go back to work?" Ask Shelina.

"If you want, tomorrow I can go to work."

"All right, tomorrow you will be able to work. And because you have children and other priorities. I allow you to come at seven in the morning. And you work until twelve in the afternoon." Said Shelina.

"Yes, thank you Shelina." Elena smiled broadly. She is happy to finally be working here again. She did ask for a part-time job, so she could continue to care for Dean with great care. She works here to get rid of boredom, take up her hobby of cooking again, and chats with people she has considered family again. And also has her own income. Brian can support Elena financially. But she would rather have her hard-earned money and work hard herself. Besides, she and Brian weren't yet official. So, she was still reluctant and didn't want to use the man's money too much.

A man in a chef's uniform with a white apron slid his waist out of the kitchen door and walked towards the table where Shelina and Elena were sitting.

"Boss, the tarts we ordered are finished. Should they be packed now or later?" Asked the man who was now standing in front of Shelina.

"Just pack it right now. So later we just need to deliver it to the customer's place." Shelina replied.

"Fine boss." The man replied and turned to look at Elena who had been staring at him. Elena looked at the man intently. The man was tall with brown skin and a headband wrapped around his head, keeping his hair out of the way.

The man had thick eyebrows and a sharp nose. In one glance Elena could tell that this man was quite handsome. And from the clothes he wears, Elena knows that he is the current male chef of the wonderful cafe. The man Shelina told her earlier.

The man was still standing there silently, making Shelina follow his line of sight towards Elena. And Shelina smile while saying

"Oh yes, Kevin introduced she is Elena. Previous wonderful cafe chef." Said shelina introduce Elena to the man.

The man named Kevin immediately stepped in front of Elena who was still sitting opposite Shelina.

"I've heard a lot about you from the boss and the others. It's an honor to meet the first chef of this wonderful cafe. My name is Kevin Santiago." Said Kevin while stretching out his right hand towards Elena.

Seeing that Elena smiled and returned the helping hand. "My name is Elena wesley. I don't know what they said to you. But I'm glad I met you."

"Yes, you will be co-workers in the kitchen. So you better get along." Shelina's words made Kevin turn to her.

"What do you mean boss?" Asked Kevin confused.

"You always complain that you have too many cakes to make and ask me to hire another chef to help you. So Elena will be working here again from tomorrow. She will help you make cookies and other cake orders." Said shelina to kevin.

Hearing Shelina's words, Kevin's eyes sparkled with joy.

"Really boss? You're not giving me false hopes, are you?"

"You ask yourself!" Shelina shrugged while pointing at Elena. So that Kevin asked the woman directly.

"So, are you going to work here again?" Ask Kevin to Elena.

"Yes, but only part time work."Answer Elena.

"It's okay, even though it's only part time it really helps me. " Reply kevin.

"Finally someone helps me in the kitchen. You know, wonderful cafe is getting more loyal customers and lots of visitors who come here. So, I would be a little inconvenient if only I made the cake in the kitchen." Kevin breathed a sigh of relief. He is really happy to hear Elena working here. It felt like a stone was half lifted off his shoulder.

"Yes, I will help. And ask for guidance."

"Of course, I hope we become a united team." Reply to Kevin.

Elena nodded with a broad smile on her beautiful face. Making Kevin a little fascinated and fascinated by the beautiful woman.

"Then, why are you still standing here. Hurry back to work." Shelina rebuked Kevin firmly. Makes the man just smile stupidly and turn to go to the kitchen.

"He seems like a nice guy who is friendly and full of enthusiasm." Elena said after Kevin's shadow disappeared behind the kitchen door.

"Yes, and I'm sure you'll get along with him quickly." Shelina replied. After that they went back to chatting until they didn't feel it was noon and time for lunch.

Elena is still in the wonderful cafe, but now she is in Shelina's office. Accompany and supervise Dean playing with Denis. Meanwhile, Shelina sits behind her desk and checks the details of the cafe's expenses and income.

The sound of Elena's cellphone made the woman stop investigating Dean's feet and took her cellphone out of the bag. A message from brian.

[Where are you? Are you still at the wonderful cafe? ]

Elena immediately typed her reply.

[Yes, Dean and I are still at the wonderful cafe. What is wrong?]

Elena was just about to hang up her cell phone, the incoming message ringtone held her hand and she reopened Brian's reply.

[I will be there.]

Brian's reply was shocking. Elena didn't think that man would come here.

[You will come here? For what?] Elena replied quickly and eagerly awaited Brian's reply.

[I want to stop there at the same time invite you to have lunch together. You haven't had lunch, have you?]

Elena was silent and could only reply,

[Yes.]

[Then wait for me. I'll be there soon.]

Elena didn't reply to Brian's last message, and kept her cell phone in the pocket of her jeans. Elena is indeed more comfortable and relaxed wearing jeans than a dress or overalls.

Elena thinks about what will happen when Brian comes here. Should she introduce Brian to Shelina and the others.

Dean's crying sound distracted Elena's mind. The handsome baby kept rubbing his eyes. Looks like he's sleepy and wants to sleep. That's why she started to fuss and cry. Elena swiftly carried Dean. And start cuddling the baby to sleep.

Elena had just put Dean in Denis's baby box when his cell phone suddenly rang.
