Avery felt relieved. "How's business lately?"
"Ever since we launched the new cakes after New Year's, our sales have been going up! We have a lot of repeat customers, so we are making profits," Shelly said. "Aunty Avery, thank you. If it weren't for you, our business wouldn't run so smoothly."
"Don't thank me. I can't rest until I see you living a great life yourself," Avery said. "By the way, Shelly, I wanted to ask how many cakes you can make each day. My daughter's company would like to order cakes for its employees once a week, but I don't know if you can supply that many cakes."
Shelly was thrilled. "We sell approximately a thousand cakes each day, and since that's way past our usual daily sales, we intend to hire a few more employees."
"Haha! That's great! Layla's company will need about five hundred cakes, and you can have those delivered to her every Friday. Will that be okay?" Avery was worried that Shelly might not accept it and said, "The cakes distributed to employees are a fixed benefit for company employees. The bakery we worked with previously has terminated the contract, and since your cafe is improving the quality of its cakes, Layla is considering signing a contract with you instead. On the other hand, she's worried that you might run yourself too thin and didn't dare mention it to you."
"Thank you to you both. I'm so glad that you are trusting me with this. I think Layla should sign a contract with GD Patisserie, though. They have more selections available," Shelly said sincerely.
Avery admired how earnest Shelly was and how she was pleasant to talk to.
"We only want cakes from your cafe. If you find it hard to supply the required amount, you will have to work harder. I'm sure that your cafe will rise to the rank of GD Patisserie in the future."
Avery was determined to help Shelly, so Shelly could only agree.
"Oh, my husband's company will need cakes as well. Five hundred cakes to be delivered each Wednesday," Avery continued. "Do you know that Hayden is establishing a company branch here? His company will need cakes as well, but since it's still starting off, they will only need two hundred each week to be delivered on Mondays."
Shelly had only come to visit Avery and did not expect to end up with three large contracts.
