“Wow. That’s awesome. Congrats.” He grinned.
“I need you to go start picking out all the light fixtures, paint colors, sinks for the kitchen, etc. I wrote a list.” He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to me. “Want some advice?”
“Yes, of course.” I stared at him.
“Ask Ava for some help. You know she’s an interior decorator, and she’ll be able to help you with some of this stuff, plus get it at a discount.”
“That’s a wonderful idea, Stefan. Thanks. I’ll ask her.” I smiled.
After I left the bakery, I walked next door to Mojo Madness. I saw Julia and Ava sitting at a table when I stepped inside.
“Hello, ladies.” I smiled as I walked over to where they sat.
“Hi.” Ava stood from her chair and hugged me. “Sit down and join us.”
I hugged Julia first before sitting down.
“Were you just next door?” Julia asked.
“I was. It’s coming along.”
“I’ll go grab you a coffee.” Julia smiled.
“I’m happy you’re here, Ava. I was going to call you.”
“Oh yeah?” A smile crossed her lips.
“Stefan gave me this list of everything I need to start picking out and buying. He said to ask your advice.” I pulled out the paper from my purse and handed it to her. “I would love to hire you as my interior decorator for the bakery.”
“Are you serious?” She grinned. “I’d love to.”
“Here’s your coffee, friend.” Julia sat across from us. “So, any word on any loans?” she asked.
“Carter Management Group is investing, and I know you told him about the loan.”
“That asshole. He wasn’t supposed to tell you. Don’t be mad.”
“I’m not. I’m grateful. Thank you.”
“We girls always have each other’s backs and stick together. Besides, it’s what he and Shaun do anyway.”
“I asked Ava if she would be my interior decorator for the bakery, and she agreed,” I said.
“Oh, that’s great news.” Julia lightly clapped her hands. “I’m so excited you’re moving in next door.”
“Thanks for the coffee, Julia. I have to run and pick up some bread and cherry butter from Four Kinds. I told Carter I would since he’s cooking dinner for me at his place tonight.”
Ava looked at her watch. “I’ll go with you, and then we can go back to my house and discuss your vision for the bakery, such as colors, theme, and décor.”
“That sounds fun. We can do it at Carter’s. He gave me his door code.”
“Oh?” Her brow arched.
“I bet he’s going to regret that.” I laughed.
I hugged Julia goodbye, and Ava and I headed to Four Kinds. After talking to Sebastian for a bit, I got the bread and butter, and we went to Carter’s house.
“I’ll be over in a few. I just have to grab my notepad.” Ava smiled.
