106 Little Things That Make Her Feel Appreciated

Kalea placed her groceries on the kitchen table. After seeing the incident, Kalea did not linger there and immediately drove her car to the apartment, even though it was a feeling she could not describe.

There were still less than two hours if Arthur really came home at nine o’clock. However, for some reason, Kalea became unsure if the man would really come. She could not possibly contact Arthur again when her sugar daddy was having dinner with his ex-girlfriend.

Kalea looked at the complete cake ingredients on the table. She seemed to be undecided whether she should make a birthday cake for Arthur when it was like this.

Kalea shook her head quickly and then slapped her cheeks hard enough to make red marks on them. “Why should I feel bad after seeing that guy having fun with his ex-girlfriend. My goal is to bake a cake as a thank you for all this time, nothing more than that!” Kalea said reassuringly with her hands clenched into fists.

She had to keep doing what she had planned.

Kalea began by putting cake ingredients like flour, eggs, baking powder, coffee powder, chocolate, and others into a large enough mixing bowl. She also did the same with the other dough, after that it was put into the flour mixture. The dough is kneaded using a mixer and when all is done, it is poured onto the cake pan. Kalea did it with focus without thinking about anything else, she started to put the cookie dough into the oven. The cake will rise in about forty minutes.

While waiting for the cake to be cooked, Kalea melts the sugar to make a caramel sauce, she also makes cream which will later be spread on the cake. Finally, after forty minutes, the cake had finished baking. Kalea carefully picked it up and let it sit for a few minutes to cool a bit.

She checked the clock on the wall, which was about to say nine o’clock. And Kalea did not sense any sign of Arthur’s coming. The brunette-haired girl pushed the thought away and returned to her focus on the cake she had made. Kalea started to decorate the cake using the light brown cream she had previously made. She did not put much decoration on the cake, Kalea just sprinkled caramel syrup around the cake on top. Plus the decoration of chocolate grains of varying sizes, which she then arranges in the shape of a crescent moon.

Then the final touch is a candle placed in the middle and a small board with the words “happy birthday.”

.....

Perfect. Very beautiful and it looks delicious.

Kalea smiled proudly, seeing the results of her hard work. However, the smile did not last long, the girl’s expression returned to sadness.

“It’s been half an hour and he hasn’t come yet,” Kalea muttered quietly. Finally, she decided to put the cake in the refrigerator first because her body was so sticky and she wanted to take a shower again.

She had decided not to expect too much from Arthur actually coming to see her.

Even though Kalea had finished bathing, Arthur had not come yet. Kalea took a deep breath, she walked over to the sofa, and turned on the television to watch the film series. This does not mean that Kalea deliberately wants to wait for Arthur, but she does like the mystery genre film series. By eleven o’clock at night, Kalea’s eyes were already very heavy, moreover she was hugging a stuffed penguin that was brought into the television room from her room. Kalea was too lazy to walk to her room and let herself fall asleep on the sofa.

There was a knock of shoes into the penthouse. There was no doubt that only Kalea and Arthur knew the access code. At half past twelve, Arthur came and saw his sugar baby sleeping on the sofa with the television on. He walked over to her and put his briefcase there.

Without intending to wake Kalea, Arthur lifted the girl’s body carefully and carried her to the room. A smile appeared on Arthur’s lips as he watched Kalea’s sleeping face. In fact, he felt very guilty because he did not come according to his own words. However, who would have thought that Aurora had made a reservation for dinner together. Arthur had refused, but the woman kept begging and said she purposely wanted to celebrate Arthur’s birthday one last time.

Not to mention that Aurora, who drank too much made the woman drunk and Arthur had to take her to where Aurora lived.

Arthur gently stroked Kalea’s cheek, with a bitter smile, he said, “Sorry, you must have been waiting for me,” Suddenly he covered her mouth as Kalea squirmed and slowly opened her eyes.

“... Arthur?”

“Yes, I’m here,” Arthur said with a sweet smile that made his eyes look like crescent moons. “Hey, why did you wake up again?”

“What time is it now?”

“Half past twelve. What’s wrong?”

“Can your stomach still hold food?” Kalea asked suddenly, and Arthur furrowed his brows in disbelief.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Kalea got off the bed and grabbed Arthur’s arm to follow her into the kitchen. Arthur did not refuse, and he let the girl do what she wanted. Kalea sat Arthur’s body on the dining table chair, then she took the cake that was in the refrigerator.

“There’s still time,” Kalea said, placing the cake in front of Arthur.

Arthur’s eyes were rounded, he was flabbergasted by what was in front of him now. “You ... made it for me?” Arthur asked.

Without fully recovering consciousness, Kalea just nodded while sitting next to her sugar daddy. “The cake was done by half past ten, but you still haven’t come.”

Damn, Arthur’s guilt just got worse.

“You know my birthday?” Arthur asked again as if he wanted to know the chronology of Kalea, who had suddenly made a surprise like this for him.

“Zeline was the one who told me. I didn’t know what to do and ended up just making this. Oh, there’s another one! Wait a minute,” Kalea exclaimed, getting up from the chair and running towards the room where she kept her little gift there. Not long after, the girl came back carrying a box decorated with red ribbons.

“What else is this?” Arthur asked.

“You’d better blow out the candles first,” Kalea said.

“Stupid, you’re still delirious, aren’t you? You haven’t lit the candle,” Arthur snorted, holding back a laugh at Kalea’s funny behavior when she was not fully awake. He reached into his pocket and took out the gas lighter and lit the candle. “Would you like to sing me a birthday song?”

“Hmm, okay.” Kale took a deep breath and then exhaled. She clapped her hands lightly and sang happy birthday to her sugar daddy. “Happy birthday to you~”

Arthur blows out the candle, which creates smoke after the candle goes out. He could not help but smile because he was so happy and immediately hugged Kalea tightly. “Thank you, Lea.”

The hug remained warm and there was absolutely no change from Arthur even though she caught her sugar daddy enjoying time with his ex-girlfriend. Kalea smiled slightly as she returned the hug. “You’re welcome. “You’re welcome.”

“Sorry, I should have come on time.”

“It’s okay. You must be very busy.”

Kalea let go of the hug and kept smiling, she did not want to make Arthur feel even more guilty, even though there was a little disappointment in her heart.

“Can I open this now?” Arthur asked, holding the rectangular box with the red ribbon.

“Yes, but don’t have high expectations.”

Arthur chuckled in amusement, his hands deftly tugging at the ribbon. “Whatever you give me, I’ll be happy. So don’t worry.” And after the box was opened, Arthur was silent looking at a black tie with a skull motif.

“I-is it weird?” Kalea asked worriedly because Arthur had not said anything else, the man continued to stare at the gift from Kalea.

“No, I like it,” Arthur answered quickly as he took the tie from its box. The corners of his lips lifted upwards, creating a sweet smile that was typical of the man. “I’ll wear it to the office.”

“Y-you don’t need to force yourself, what if you’ll be ridiculed by people?”

“Who dares to mock me? I’m the boss, I will make sure their life is not calm if they laugh at a gift from my girl,” he said proudly, then pulled Kalea’s chin to kiss the girl’s forehead. “Thank you again, I really didn’t expect you to surprise me like this,” Arthur continued while stroking Kalea’s brunette hair, the sweet smile had not yet faded from his handsome face.

Kalea’s heart was racing, and with all of Arthur’s attention on her, there was no way she could be unhappy. Both of her cheeks were flushed red, as she felt all her efforts really paid off and made Arthur happy. Kalea felt appreciated, something like this was enough for her. Because after her family was destroyed, she rarely got any appreciation from anyone. Unknowingly, the tears dripping from her eyes made Arthur’s smile fade, to be replaced by a surprised expression.

“Why are you crying?!”

“Arthur, please let me know if you’re really back with your ex-girlfriend. So I can prepare my heart if you’re gone from my life.”
