"What the hell!!!" exclaimed Ricardo Herman 'what's wrong with these people' he thought as he went through the documents in his hand one last time.

"We're sorry sir I didn't know th--" Mr. Curtis tried speaking but he cuts him off.

"You didn't know what huh? You gave Mr. Salvary the wrong document, you very know how important Mr. Salvary is and how bad I need this contract to be signed" holding the contract and showing Mr. Curtis, "And all you could do is give him the wrong document, not just a document my daughter's freaking birth certificate!" he exclaimed and Mr. Curtis flinched a bit with how loud Ricardo's voice was.

He knew Ricardo to be the man who talks in a cool and collect voice no matter the situation but for him to raise his voice in this manner meant that he was so pissed at what he did.

"What will Mr. Salvary think of us? That we're playing around?" Ricardo asked and slammed the papers on the table then gave Mr. Curtis a very hard glare.

"Sir we'll try our best to se--" he cuts him off again.

"Do whatever you need to do to swap the document before he reads it" Ricardo said and Mr. Curtis nods "Now get out and do it quickly" he dismissed him and sat back on his chair while rubbing his forehead.

Mr. Curtis took the document and went out of his office after apologizing once more.

Ricardo could feel a headache forming which made him groan 'a coffee and those delicious muffins are what I need right now' he thought to himself 'hmm' he hummed when her remembered the taste of the chocolate muffin he had the previous night and it was making his mouth water already.

Getting up from his chair and taking his phone with him, he walked out of his office checking the time on his watch to see that it was already 4:03 pm.

Just an hour and some minutes more to close for work but he just decided to head out to fill his present cravings.

"Call and reschedule the meeting I will be having by 4:30 pm today for next week, pick any date that would be convenient and let me know to confirm, okay?" he said to Miss Ann his secretary while walking to the elevator, but he didn't miss the flattering of her eyelash 'huh what a flirt' he muttered.

He entered his private elevator and pressed the button that leads to the lobby not like he doesn't like his private garage but he prefers the parking lot which is way better and easier to leave the building. He walked to his Mercedes convertible and settled in, put the key in, turned on the ignition and maneuvered his car out of the parking lot, and headed to his favorite cake and pastries shop 'Paradise Cakes & Chops'.

'It's truly paradise' he thought to himself as he was already there in five minutes and parked, then got out of his car.

...

"Bethany?" Rosalie, Bethany's twin sister called out for her sister "Bethany! Bethany! Bet-- oh there you are Bethany, how are you?" Rosalie said as she saw her twin in the kitchen.
