[[The Last Chapter IX]]

"I never knew it would be so tiring baking a cake."

Jaime was whipping the butter and sugar together. He would had gone for an easier and faster way of using an electronic mixer, but he stubbornly insisted on manually doing everything.

Sometimes he questioned himself on his intellectual level. It was not as if any normal person could be able to tell apart cakes made using electronic mixers or by hand. How dumb Jaime felt about himself sometimes.

But at least he was really sincere, if any scant consolation mattered.

Will looked at the clock. It was fifteen minutes before twelve midnight.

"Jaime, don't you want to be the first to send her your birthday message?"

Jaime checked the time. Oh shucks, I nearly forgot!

"Thanks for the reminder! I'm so caught up with everything here that I almost forgot."

For once, it didn't take a long time for Jaime to type his message. He had prepared it almost two days ago. A Singaporean advertising himself at his best. Or what some people think, worst.

Time was starting to run out. Jaime had arranged to meet Celine at 8am and he had slightly more than seven hours left. All he could do now was to let the dough sit for about an hour before he could start baking.

3am and the cake was finally ready. It didn't look exactly like what confectionaries could do, but Jaime had tried his best. Four hours to go, and he spent the time wrapping the present. He was too afraid of falling asleep.

At 7am, he finally left Will's house.
