"Sorry Ace, I can't help you."
Ace kneads. Randi is the only person who is expected to help him make a loan. But the man's answer was different from the offer of help a few days ago.
"Sir, just this one month. I'll pay you right away if Mr. Hans gives you the money."
Ace said expectantly. And Randi's head answered her request. Ace lowered his head, biting his lips thinking of a way out of the problem he was facing. I don't know who he has to ask for help. Agreeing to marry the temple in fact does not make Ace get the three hundred million money. Ace now feels that the temple marriage is not a cooperation that benefits him and Mr. Hans but the marriage is a trap.
"Once again, sorry Ace," said Randi. His voice sounded lethargic probably because he felt bad. It wasn't Randi who didn't want to help Ace. But Hans's threat one week ago made Randi have to refuse to help Ace.
"It's okay sir."
Ace replied in a doldrums as well. If Randi had refused. It is impossible to force him. Helping it is a willingness of the heart and must be sincere.
Randi passed from the kitchen after a woman entered the room. For sure it wasn't Aunt Santi but Mr. Hans' new servant woman.
"Auntie, is there anything to eat?. I am hungry."
Ace looked at the woman then touched her face. Does she herself look so old that the woman calls herself aunty. The question rotated in his head and another question appeared in his head. Who is this young woman who looks so fashionable.
Ace found the answer to his question after recalling the expulsion carried out by Mr. Hans last night. It turned out to be true, her pura husband had already found the bed maid. And the threat had absolutely no effect on the man.
"Aunt Santi is not feeling well, there are many food ingredients in the refrigerator. Ma'am can cultivate it," Ace replied politely.
"Then, for whom?. Isn't that breakfast for me and Hans?"
"No mbak. That's for Mr. Hans alone."
"Here, let me put it on the dinner table."
Ace shook his head quickly. Although she was the wife of the temple to Mr. Hans but also the status of a servant in the house. Ace does not want to be considered blind pay. After all, Ace wants to melt Mr. Hans' heart to change his mind to give the three hundred thousand this week. Randi's rejection made Ace think to persuade her pura husband.
"Don't mbak. It's my job."
"Dare to argue with me?" said the blonde haired woman sharply. His face that had been soft was now like that of an angry person. In fact, Ace simply refused without making the woman a loss.
Ace did not answer. He does not need to serve that woman. Just one night of being a servant to Mr. Hans had already made the woman feel like the Madam in this house.
"Hey, why don't you answer?" ask the woman who doesn't seem to like being ignored.
"You don't know who I am?" ask again.
"I know, ma'am, mbak, Mr. Hans's bed servant, right" Ace replied. Ace thought that the woman would be ashamed of her status. The woman looks proud. And that's disgusting to Ace. How could there be a woman in this world who is proud to have such a lowly job.
"Well, that's you know. Here's food. Make breakfast for me too. I'm waiting for you not to take long."
"Sir, we're the same waitress in this house. So work with the work that has been charged you. You're Mr. Hans' bed servant whereas I'm a servant for Mr. Hans' other needs. Definitely not in bed. And making breakfast for you is not my job."
Ace left the woman in the kitchen and brought breakfast for Mr. Hans. Ace would not let the bed maid woman tell him at will. Ace arranged the breakfast on the table along with the sound of Mr. Hans' steps approaching the dining room.
"Good morning, sir."
The man did not answer. Mr. Hans immediately sat down and pulled out a plate containing fried rice. Ace did make two types of breakfast this morning for Mr. Hans. Fried rice and toast and a glass of milk. Not to forget, Ace also immediately made coffee at the table. Whatever Mr. Hans' food choices will be. Then what was left was for Ace's own breakfast.
Hans seemed uninspired this morning. And Ace thought that Mr. Hans was tired of playing with women last night. That was reinforced by Mr. Hans' breakfast choice this morning.
"Is there anything else you need?" ask Ace. A glass of white water requested by Mr. Hans had just been reserved for the man.
"Have you met that woman?" hans asked after gulping down the warm white water.
"Which woman, sir?"
"Ooo the new servant sir. It was in the kitchen."
"Don't divulge his presence in this house to my parents."
"No promise sir. If you break the promise. Then I can do the same.
"Aces."
"Sorry Mister. Don't make me sin again. Marrying a temple is a big sin and letting my temple husband sin is an even bigger sin."
His intention to melt Mr. Hans' heart was forgotten due to Mr. Hans' request to hide the woman's status. Ace, of course, was upset about Hans's behavior. Ace was getting annoyed at the behavior of the new servant who had just appeared in the living room. The woman spoiledly told Mr. Hans that Ace was not willing to make breakfast for him.
"I was tired of serving you last night. Masa, this morning have to make your own breakfast," said the woman again. The waiter wasn't even awkward sitting next to Mr. Hans.
Ace was sick of hearing that woman's shameless words at all.
"From today on, you have to make breakfast for both of us."
"OKAY. No problem," Ace replied casually. Making breakfast was not difficult for him.
"But on condition," said Ace again. Mr. Hans seemed to be frowning. And the woman looked widened her eyes hearing Ace say that.
"What conditions?"
"Let me work outside. I'll make sure I don't eat blind pay."
Mr. Hans thought for a moment.
"Leave us both Ussi" Mr. Hans said to the woman. The woman looked heavy and Mr. Hans' sharp gaze made the woman finally move from her seat with her breakfast.
"What do you mean working outside. Wouldn't that make my parents suspicious of this temple wedding?" asked Mr. Hans quietly as if he would be afraid of being heard by Ussi.
"I can give you the right answer later. But if it doesn't. I'll make sure your bad habits are exposed to Ratih's mama."
"How dare you threaten me?"
Ace shook his head. He certainly did not dare to threaten his master. Only, Ace got a job offer from his friend. The salary is not too big but the opportunity in the future to achieve his desire can be through the job.
"But why did I hear your words like a threat. Or don't you feel like a real wife and feel jealous of Ussi."
"Jealous?. Of course not jealous sir. But fellow beings are endowed with brains and minds. Of course, I am sad and ashamed to see this behavior of yours. Supposedly, the age that is getting mature along with the thinking that is getting older. Honey, I don't see that in you sir. The point is let me work, sir."
"If I don't allow it. How's it?"
"I'll keep working. You're not a real husband who has to give me permission. If I asked permission. Consider it that, news sentence."
Mr. Hans clenched his hand. Ace is not like the previous waitress who just sorted. Letting Ace work out there will invite the suspicions of both his parents. And Hans didn't want that to happen. Allowing or not cooperating made Mr. Hans feel pinched.
Ace had his determination to work. It was better than giving lies to both of Hans' parents if they asked about Ussi's status in this house. Let Hans himself give the answer to his parents. My
"What salary do I give less?. I'll add another two million. After all you work, income is only about that. So, stay home to be a sweet wife to your pura husband."
"No, I'm still working. I don't believe in a Master who likes to break promises."
Yeah, Ace didn't trust Mr. Hans anymore since last night because of the three hundred million money deal.
Nine o'clock in the morning. Ace proved his point. Now,. Ace is already in the restaurant owned by his mother who has now changed ownership with the name of Mr. Andra.
"Thank you, Ami. It turned out that Ami was giving genuine attention to her. Ace was successfully accepted at it because of Ami.
