AUSTIN'S POV
I spent a lot of time on Hope these past few days. We are always in her place or with her friends. She always brings me along with her. Instead of going to Julia's place to help with the orders, she will always say that Julia and Cara can do it without my help.
She is so clingy, but I let her be. Hope distracted me from thinking of cara and that damn kiss. It bothers me so much that is why I became like this. I asked Hope if she could be my girlfriend when I was so drunk in the bar, and of course, she agreed right away. After becoming a couple, she always wanted to be with me almost 24/7. But to be honest, I don't feel the love in the relationship.
The night I asked her to be my girlfriend, we went to the park with her friends. She was so drunk that night and wanted to kiss me. We were disrupted when a loud motorcycle passed and stopped in front of a girl. It was Cara. I know cara very well, and I know she's looking at us, especially hope and

I immediately called Julia about this, and she told me to set a meeting with them. I was so excited about this. It means people really like our product.Last night, a few people messaged us on our website if they could resell our cookies, and now this. I couldn't get any happier. We are receiving a lot of blessing today.I was at the counter chatting with customers when Austin entered the store. I was shocked to see him here again."Austin, where have you been? I haven't seen you for a couple weeks," Roman said."I got busy, it's nice to see you again," he smiled at roman.I shook my head as I saw him looked at me."Cara," he said, standing in front of me with his hands on his pocket. "Hi," I bite my lower lips as I awkwardly greeted him."Are you busy? Can we talk?" he asked. I l
CARA chapter one
Success doesn't come easy. Success requires hard work. That was the last sentence of the book I was reading. I was so hooked on the book that I forgot someone was waiting for me."Cara, hurry up! Your dad is waiting for you," my mom shouted. I hurriedly picked up my book and went downstairs. I grabbed a sandwich and an orange juice and went inside the car."Where's Carlon?" my father asked me as soon as I entered the car."He's coming, "I told him, and I saw carlon running down the stairs."Why are we in a hurry, dad? My class is at 9 am. It's not even 8 in the morning, "Carlon asked my dad while my dad started to run the car."I need to talk to a client. They're planning to withdraw their huge orders from us. I can't let that happen. Our employees started working on their orders we will lose a lot of money if that happens since it's customized," Dad told us furiously
CARA chapter two
CHAPTER TWOI arrived at the store and found the owner entertaining a few customers. I quickly helped him. Once the customers left, he taught me what to do. I'm a fast learner, so he didn't have a hard time teaching me.While I was waiting for a customer. I sat beside Roman and had a little chat with him. I told him how kind he is, as my friend says. He was a bit shy after that. He told me he's in his 40s. We talked about his family. I can see his sacrifice for his three children, as he had to come here to the city to find a good job to support their education in their province. I was moved by his story, so I also shared mine."What's your dream?" he asked me.I looked at him and smiled, "My dream is to become a successful businesswoman. I want to be able to give back to my family. I want to make them proud.""I know your parents are very proud of you today."
CARA chapter three
CHAPTER THREEThe next morning. I met up with Julia in front of our school. We decided to buy some breakfast before our class started. The smell of the newly baked bread at the bakery attracted us, so we went to buy some."This bread tastes good," I said while munching on the bread."Hmm, it's okay, but I think my mom's homebaked bread is tastier," Julia said.I tasted some of Julia's mom's bread and pastry. Julia always gives me whenever she brings some of them to school. I bet she'll go big when she tries to sell it, but she has another job, and baking was just her hobby. Julia must be so lucky to have a good baker mom at home. I know she's trying to learn how to bake cakes now, and I'm excited to try it."Do you want to make delicious bread with me?" she winked at me, and I frowned at her. "Then, if it tastes good, let's try to sell it," she added."What if it doe

The second semester is coming to an end, and I can't wait any longer, but I guess I'll spend most of my time in the convenience store since I'll start working all day once the break begins."I'm so stressed, roman," I whined. "If only I could run away," I said."It's easy to run away, but remember that facing your problems and working on them will make you stronger,""You're right, but it's a headache," I told him.I'm restocking some chips on the shelves while sharing my problems with Roman. I have been thinking about the money we need for my father's therapy. I was thinking about where I could get the money we needed, not until Roman gave me an idea."How's your business going?" he asked me."We haven't taken any orders yet," I sighed."Why don't you try selling your brownies here in the store? Talk to the owner, ask him if you can do that," he suggested."

"Do I know him?" I asked Julia "Why aren't you saying a thing to us?" Austin asked her also. "I'm sorry. I'm planning to tell you soon, but you caught me today," Julia said. "Let's have some lunch, and I'll tell you about him," No wonder she wants me to date. We went to a Chinese restaurant inside the mall. Austin ordered for us at the counter. "Tell me now, who's the guy?" I asked her, "Let's wait for Austin," she laughed. When Austin arrived with our food, he asked Julia who the guy was. "Austin, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you sooner, but I want you to promise not to be mad at me. Okay?" Julia asked him. "Geez, now I'm sure I know the person. Fine, I won't get mad. Tell me now who the guy is," I was listening to them, waiting for Julia to say the name. I
