Olivia quickly looked toward the door.
"What's wrong?"
Logan usually abided by the rules and wouldn't bother her when she was resting.
"I ..Ms.Fordham, are you asleep? I'm sorry to bother you."
Olivia wasn't asleep yet, so she figured she might as well see what Logan wanted.
She got up and made herself presentable before she opened the door.
Her voice trailed off abruptly.
Logan was holding a cake with some candles on it.
The candlelight illuminated his face and flickered in his eyes.
"It might be a little late, Ms.Fordham, but birthdays are important.You shouldn't ignore them."
It was exactly 11:59 pm at the moment.
Logan probably made the cake himself.
There were still traces of flour and cream on his face.
"Thanks."
Olivia was moved.
"It's almost 12:00 am.You should make a wish and blow the candle out, Ms.Fordham."
She didn't make a fuss and quickly closed her eyes to make her wish.She wanted to be reunited with her children as soon as possible.She blew the candles out after she made her wish.
The time was 12:00 am.
The room fell into darkness after the candles were blown out.
For some reason, she felt like Logan's voice was more solemn in the dark.
"One moment.I'll go turn on the lights.Be careful not to fall over."
The lights were switched on.
Olivia noticed that there was a plate of pasta on the table.
"Ms.Fordham, it was a tradition back in our hometown to eat some pasta on our birthdays,"
Logan explained.
Olivia didn’t expect him to do so much for her while she was resting.
"You ...don't really have to do all these for me."
"I still need to express my gratitude to you for giving me a job.Or else I won't be able to fund my mother's retirement.A cake and some pasta aren't that much trouble.
"The only issue is that this is my first time baking a cake.I had to follow a tutorial to make it.It might not be good.The cake might be a little burnt.You can just eat the pasta."
Olivia didn't have the heart to turn down his kindness.
