While they were laughing, Arsa's phone suddenly rang. But instead of answering, he handed his phone to the manager and forced her to answer the call. The manager was hesitant, but just as he was about to speak, he looked at the screen and saw the caller. Upon seeing it, he realized that the number belonged to his boss. The restaurant manager quickly answered the phone. The manager seemed very respectful.
"Oh, it's good that you answered my phone. I've been trying to reach you since, but I can't. I just wanted to say that the owner of this phone is the new owner of the Restaurant." The man on the phone said. The manager's face suddenly turned pale. He could not say a word of what he had just heard.
"Wait for you, sir. This kid bought this place? Butwhy? The restaurant always profits! Why did you sell it?" protest the manager.
"The reason is very simple, I have no reason not to sell the restaurant." The former boss of the restaurant owner.
"He was the head of the Surabaya branch of the jug group, and he offered a very expensive price, so I can't say no at all. Besides, you're in the hands of a good man now." Said the person across the phone again. And at that very instant, the manager of the restaurant felt confused. He was getting confused as every second passed. But reality continues to happen. But, deep down, he slowly realized many things. His heart seemed to fall into the abyss in an instant when he thought of how disrespectful he was to the Surabaya branch leader of Kendi Grub. The manager of the restaurant could not see Arsa's face. He simply held the phone with his hands trembling in panic.
" If you're still there, I'll hang up right now. I'll talk to you next time. Good luck and make sure your new boss is at home. And all this time it's been a great time working with all of you." Said the guy across the phone again. The call ended because the beep sound had roused the manager from his unconsciousness. But, the manager of the restaurant was stuck in that place for a long time. He was silent too, unable to say anything.
Arsa took her phone and asked.
"What did he tell you? Do you still think that being here is such a shame?" Arsa said.
"I apologize profusely sir." Said the manager.
"I'm out of my mind because I've been acting that way. Please sir, I hope you understand." said the manager nervously apologizing. Arsa stepped forward and continued katana with her cold voice.
"The last time I was here, I said my wallet was stolen. But you keep insisting that I'm just a poor man taking advantage of you. Do you think I'm a fool to believe in the actions and nonsense you told me?" Arsa grunted annoyedly. The manager apologized for not recognizing such an impressive person. His face was filled with regret. He did not even dare to look at Arsa with such a flat face.
"Then, you can get out of here," Arsa demanded as she pointed out the door once more.
"Please sir. Don't let me out. I know I was wrong, and I apologize for my attitude. Please don't fire me sir. I need this job." The restaurant manager begged for mercy.
"Do you think it's possible? " Arsa turned to the man beside her and smiled coldly. The man grabs the manager's arm and pulls him out of Arsa's sight.
"Didn't you hear me? Out!" Shouted Arsa furiously. His tone was rough, but he could not let the manager of the restaurant remain there. His behavior and attitude was something that Arsa could not tolerate at all. Their reputation would be bad if he let someone like him keep working in the restaurant. Finally, the manager of the restaurant walked out with regret that had washed away his arrogance.
After the manager left, Arsa looked at the woman next to him.
"What's your name?" Arsa asked.
"Boss, my name is Firda." The waiter stuttered.
"All right then. Nice to meet you Firda. From now on, I will raise you to be the manager of the restaurant" Arsa said with a confident look in her eyes.
"I... Restaurant manager?" His jaw was shocked.
"But sir, I'm not sure if I can do well." The servant said softly.
"Don't worry. I trust you and you will be able to do this job well. There is a lot to be said about a person's character. From what you did before, it already shows how much you can appreciate others." Arsa smiled and patted the shoulder of the woman in front of him.
A moment later, Arsa turned her head and observed the waiter who was around the room. They all bowed and greeted his new boss. As Arsa looked and nodded to all the servants, she smiled and told all of them to salute the man beside her as well. Adit looked dumbfounded as he greeted the servants back happily. He was flattered that it was unexpected that Arsa suddenly gave him this kind of treatment.
"Don't worry about this Dit. You and I are brothers! I owe you so much in my life, and I just want to say that half of this restaurant is yours. You are a good man and I want you by my side to run this place" Arsa said with a joyful expression. Adit could only smile broadly as Arsa said these words. He could say nothing but "thank you". Arsa knows that Adit wants to talk more. But for Arsa, she is very grateful for everything Adit has done for both of them. It was an invaluable act to be paid for with anything.
Afterwards, with the best service from most of the waiters at the restaurant, Arsa and the fat man sat down for dinner. A few minutes later, while they were having dinner, Adit received a phone call from Zef.
"Please help me! I was beaten at Planet Cafe. Please hurry!" Silence all over the room. Arsa heard a voice across the table that was as loud as thunder, triggered by panic and disorientation.
