"And sell him our cakes?" Shelly asked.
"Of course, not! If it's a single man, you can entice him with your charm and see if you stand a chance of landing a date!" the staff member said. "Don't you want to marry someone rich? Tomorrow is the perfect chance for that."
Shelly flushed. "You've probably read too many romance novels. It's just a concert, and you manage to make so much out of it."
"Ms. Taylor, you don't go out much. I know plenty of girls who ran into handsome guys on the street and went up to them to ask for their numbers. Some got a date and some even have kids by now," the staff member said.
Shelly listened with interest and said, "Alright. Keep your imagination at bay. I only have one goal right now, and that is to focus on the cafe so that we can make enough profit to afford a bigger place. Of course, you all need a raise as well."
The staff member's eyes lit up. "Are we getting a raise, Ms. Taylor?"
She nodded. "Yes, you are getting one this month."
"You are awesome, Ms. Taylor! The cafe's business has only recently started to go up, and you are already thinking about a raise... You are the best boss I've ever seen."
"Business is smooth mainly because you are all working hard. Keep up the good work."
"Thank you, boss!"
On Saturday, Shelly stayed home to take care of Audrey, and after lunch, she tidied up the kitchen and returned to her room to get changed, preparing to head out to the concert.
"Mom, I can bring you dinner. What do you feel like eating?" Shelly did not want her mother to cook.
