“Now?” Andrew jogged after him.
“Right now.” Lucas pressed the elevator button, glancing back in the direction of Sloane's room; determination
flashed in his eyes. “Before she’s discharged, I'll master it.”
Andrew wiped at the sweat on his forehead. The powerful businessman, reduced to this just to win over the
woman he loved... truly beyond reason.

And so, from sunset to deep into the night, the president of Hawthorne Group practiced tirelessly in the pastry
shop. Every the failed, he simply wiped the sweat from his brow and tried again. By three in the morning,

“Once more.” Lucas’ voice was hoarse, but his eyes remained sharp. His fingertips trembled from overuse, yet
he gripped the piping bag steadily.
When the first rays of dawn streamed through the glass window, Lucas finally completed a cake-not perfect, but
brimming with sincerity.
He studied it, then at last allowed a faint smile. “Pack it up. Thank you.”

Her gaze dropped to his flour-dusted suit jacket, then to the long, lean hands still bearing traces of cream.
