As per Lucas' worry at the start of his relationship with Liliana, he didn't have much time to spare once he joined the event preparations for the Queen's Crown Hotel. He spent most of his time there instead of CafeOrama.
Liliana hired a part-time pastry chef for the time being, as suggested by Ethan who had more friends in this field. The new pastry chef was Deborah Mo, one of the young man's longtime acquaintances.
Deborah or rather be addressed as Debbie had just finished her study at the culinary school. Because she wanted to get more experience and earn funds before opening a home bakery, she accepted the part-time job offer.
Liliana hoped Lucas could fully focus on the hotel event with this new arrangement instead of dividing what little was left of his time between the cafe and the hotel. His resting time was also compromised.
"I'm sorry, Lili. I haven't brought you out for a proper date."
