@shcnshi || ♥ for Shanjie
"--I thank you for your patience, s-sir." Finally, after a moment's pause, Sullivan was rounding the counter to greet his client. Wet hands dried on his apron, careful not to run them through any leftover flour before he offered one to shake. "I am the only one here this morning, I am afraid. So I've been rushing to get the most popular things in the oven. I'm sorry I intruded on our meeting time. I-I should have come in earlier to prepare." He felt so unprofessional, a nervous rub to the back of his neck before he pulled a chair out for the other to take a seat, sitting across once he made sure they were settled.
They were a potential client. A big one at that. Sullivan had nearly fainted when they called. Just the number of items they wanted to be catered had him floored. His humble little bakery getting such an order was a big deal. He wanted to make the best impression, most importantly do the best job, so he had asked for a personal meeting to collect all the details that he needed.
They were very handsome. They could be a model or an actor.--actually, they looked familiar. But the thought of someone that famous wandering through the door had him doubtful. They'd have a representative no? Especially if it were as big as who he looked like. Shanjie. So he rid himself of the thought. It did nothing for his naturally frayed nerves though, worried about being too impolite on top of being late to their consult.
"So, i-is there a certain design you're looking for? Or specific flavors? You're ordering so many that I want to make sure I have a plan that can be consistently done between each cupcake."
