Sweet Little Lies
[ID: The title of the story, Sweet Little Lies, written in a pink to yellow gradient over a picture of various glass jars filled with assorted, colorful candies. All other images in this post are decorative dividers showing a row of round, white, flat candies with a pink heart in the middle. End ID]
“I don’t want to keep you from working. Which is what I assume you were doing before I came in, not that it’s any of my business what you’re doing back there.” He nodded in the direction of the backroom, aware that he was talking too much. Again. “If you’re worried about leaving me alone up front, I can stand in the doorway and keep in your line of sight.”
“My line of sight, huh.” A moment of silence settled between them in which the woman inclined her head. “I wouldn’t mind some company,” she then said. “Name’s Aurelia, by the way.”
“Laurent,” Laurent said before he remembered that he should not have given her his real name. Whatever. He was only here to buy some candy, right? “Pleased to meet you.”
📖 Synopsis
Aurelia’s days are filled with work. A charming stranger with a voice like soft caramel is a welcome distraction, even though she has more to worry about than the question of whether his lips are as sweet as his words. Someone is trying to put her out of business, and their methods keep escalating.
Laurent is scouting a target for his best friend’s heist when he dives into a candy store to avoid being spotted by the guards. What starts as an attempt to kill some time ends with his heart lost to the store owner’s warm smile. He wants to see her again but returning to the scene of the crime is playing with fire.
Fortunately, Laurent is a fire mage.

📖 Cast
Aurelia
“I don’t believe a single word you say, Mister Beaufort.”
As a candy-smith, Aurelia is a master of her craft, and her store a paradise filled everything from fruit drops to rainbow lollipops. She doesn't need much to be happy: good friends, a nice cup of tea, and a stranger who promises to get rid of the man trying to destroy her life.
Laurent
“Am I too late to witness the miracle of rainbow candy making?”
Accountant by day and fence by night, Laurent is used to lying, and his charm has saved him more often than his magic has. He doesn’t like candy, but he will try every single flavor in this store if it means he gets to spend more time with the owner who stole his heart.

I haven't posted much about this yet, but the few tags that exist are:

#Laurent is a guy to count on
#Aurelia is a sweetheart
Currently aiming for a mid-May release, which would give me two months for editing and formatting. Fingers crossed.

There's this book bazaar happening in my town, and they sell English books almost half the price! It's called Big Bad Wolf, held annually, and I believe several SEA countries also have the same bazaar? Anyways, I bought six books, three of them are hardcovers novels 🥹
I bought these mainly because of their pretty covers, ngl, but I looked up their summaries and rating on Goodreads and their premises look promising. Hopefully the actual writing is reaching my expectation. I don't know when will I start them, though. I still have Bunny and Red, White, & Royal Blue on read currently---and I plan to read Babel after those. So. Yeah.

All I see is someone who needs her job in MIT4 as desperately as she needs a fringe-trim and a big dose of Vitamin C .

KATE MANNING
the girl with tourette’s! iirc they worked with a tourette’s charity for this episode including asking them to recommend actresses with tourette’s. wouldn’t expect anything less from casualty
lol zoe and max taking a break together on the roof and robyn spots zoe but max hides before she can see and zoe has to pretend she was taking a selfie skskdkkf
connie’s still very upset about the report and yelling about standards
she brings up beds in corridors and charlie says “we don’t do that here, we never have” no but you will😬
connie telling charlie about how her dad died and that it was the anniversary of his death :(
“i couldn’t save him, but i can improve things here” that’s similar to what dylan said this year
dylan stroking the patients dog🥺🥺
“so you like dogs then?” “yes, i prefer them to people if i’m honest” same dylan
they should’ve had ethan treat katy manning’s character

+ bonus Lingling honest reaction:
My judgement is right after all. If her brother is like this, then Baijie must be even kinder and more compassionate than you.
