Chapter 253

• The bustling kitchen was full of activity and Casie looked around, satisfied. This was her new stronghold, the new location of Kelly's Delicatessen, which was being inaugurated today for the press and suppliers. It was perfect; a spacious area, with modern machinery and the necessary spaces and implements to be able to produce on a larger scale than before. Her dream of turning her bakery into a prosperous business had become a reality, with hard work and determination. She was proud that her pastry creations, a part of a family legacy, were the obligatory sweets for a part of Los Angeles society.
• She had attracted a wide and varied clientele that she sought to supply with different products, as healthy and accessible as possible. Kaleb's skill had taken the project to a larger scale, creating successive campaigns to promote it. He knew that this business was his baby and supported it wholeheartedly. Just as he did with her. The help of Marie, her sister, who had finally settled in the city, had become invaluable, allowing her to delegate the task of administration and finances, which she detested.
• Marie was evaluating what to do with her teaching career. She liked working with children, but had always felt it was a job chosen by her overprotective and traditional parents. Hiring staff made expansion easier, as Casie fully trusted her subordinates. Laura, the second in command, was fully immersed in the business, and had a commanding gift that made even the most lax employees work accordingly.
