When Jenny called Noah into the office to discuss an urgent matter, Mary took the opportunity to walk through his store by herself. She looked at every item in his bakery. Her eyes widened at her discovery. She offered similar products at her bakery, except his portions were smaller and cheaper than a serving at Sweet Delights. She hadn’t noticed that when she toured his store on opening day. Now she got it when Emily had told her that Noah called her heavy-handed when she cut portions.

She glanced at the office door, still closed. She headed for the kitchen to give it a better examination than what Noah’s whirlwind tour offered. A woman was there baking.

“Hallo, I’m Mary. I might be working here for a while.”

She nodded. “I’m Jean Dwyer. Noah told me you’d be working here. It’s nice to meet you. Sorry to hear about your bakery.” Jean was lovely and very petite. Maybe thirty.

“Danki, it’s nice to meet you, too.”

When Jean left the room to take a tray of cupcakes to the front, Mary snatched a mini cupcake and popped it in her mouth. She shook her head in disbelief. “Mmm.” It was maybe one of the best cupcakes she’d ever eaten.

Shame prickled her skin with goose bumps at sneaking the treat. She’d given Noah and his sisters a free treat. Therefore, she could reciprocate. She wasn’t quite sure Bishop Yoder would see it that way. But if she was going to work here, no doubt she and Noah would be trying each other’s products. Except for their contest entries of course.

She bit into a chocolate cookie and stopped chewing to savor the taste. It was delicious.

Now more than ever, she knew she needed that prize money.
