Chapter 182

Arabella had barely been in the office for a while when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

“Ms. Bennett.” It was Molly who walked in, a bag in her hand and a cheery smile on her face. “This is the cheesecake my mom made this morning. She insisted I deliver it to you. You’ve been a huge help to us; we can’t thank you enough.” Molly handed the bag to her, still smiling.

“Tell your mom I said thanks.” Arabella opened the bag to find a box with a cake and a cup.

Arabella was a little puzzled. What’s in the cup?

“It’s fresh juice!” Molly beamed, “My mom got up early to make it.”

Arabella took a bite of the cake and asked, “Tastes great.”
