The cake chaos

Nancy, you have to be fast; I can't risk going there late. I yelled from the kitchen.

Am almost done packing them, by the time you are done with the kitchen and bathing, I will be done, Nancy said

That's what you said when I was cleaning, I hope I won't have to sit down and wait for you today again, I said.

No, I will be done before you even go into the bathroom, Nancy replied.

It's that the television sound that I am hearing, Nancy. I hope you are concentrating on what you are doing, not focusing on the TV; I asked, bringing out the last buns in the oven.

No, Aunty, I am focused Nancy replied.

Today was my two close friends' birthday, and I have another client to deliver butter icing cake to and my friends; one of them ifunanya wants a small chop with love-shaped cake, while the other Sonia wants a cupcake with peppered gizzard and meat, no buns or spring rolls.

I try to meet up with their orders; thank God I have some assistance from my siblings and cousins who came around. So, while I was trying to prepare the peppered meat and gizzard, one of my cousins was helping me fry the samosa and spring roll.

While I Instructed Nancy to package the cake in a box that I had already labeled, Nancy can easily be distracted, especially when the television is on and they happen to be showing her favorite show. That's why I keep yelling that she should concentrate.

I was running out of time, and I needed to deliver the cakes and the small chops to the owners, but how was I going to navigate to all their houses? I decided to call my friend to come to pick up her packages because she didn't pay me for delivery and the other clients had promised to pick up her package by themselves. My last clients Sonia
couldn't met up, so I had to deliver it myself.

As I finished bathing, my phone rang; I picked up to check who was calling me; it turned out to be my friend, who said she was coming for carry it by herself.

Hello, girlfriend, Whatsup your order is ready, you can come and pick it up I said

That's the problem, I can't come, can you bring it for me, ifunanya requested

Ha, bae, I am not sure; I need to go deliver Sonia small chops and cake. I don't think I will meet up I replied to her

But I can't meet up, and I need the cake this evening, the party was shifted to 8pm; please help me out, funny pleaded.

I sighed, alright, I will book an Uber to bring it to your location but you will pay him I said.

Are you sending the cake and the peppered gizzard alone with the Uber driver ifunanya asked

Yes, was I supposed to send it with a convoy, I said joking

She laughed; of course, you are sending it to a princess, but on a serious note, can you send Nancy or a favor to carry it with Uber and come? I will pay for it funny said.

Ok, Nancy will send it to you. We finished the call and were about to dress up when my other client, Mrs Faith, called that she wouldn't be picking up her order; how could today get any better?

Sorry ma, I can't meet up to deliver the cake to you, can I send it through a dispatcher rider, I said

That's fine, I will be waiting, she said

I called Nancy and asked her if she had finished packing all the items in the box, and she said yes. I asked Nancy to book an Uber, place Mrs Faith's order inside, book another one, and take it down to Ifunanya. While I pack, Sonia orders straight to her house.

Little did I know that Nancy had done a great mix up of orders. The mistake wasn't discovered until when I got to Sonia's house; I was helping her to set the table, only to open it and discover that Nancy had packed Ifunanya's order in Sonia's carton. Immediately, I called Ifunanya to check her order; it turned out that her order was Mrs. Faith's order.

Immediately, it dawned on me that Mrs faith was carrying Sonia's order. I brought out my phone to call her, but she called instead to complain. I apologized and asked her to send it to the location where I was. I will sent order to her, that is how I was able to correct the mistake that Nancy had caused because of television. I seized every gadget at home so she could learn to concentrate.
