My Perfect Stranger's
Overtime at the Cafe

Ardigo was in his room. The man looked solemnly reading the file that Andre had just submitted. The file contains personal data and Rivan's curriculum vitae. When he finished talking to Rivan at that time, he immediately contacted Andre and asked the man to investigate the background of a Rivando Gillbert. And as always, Andre is reliable

"It looks like Mr. Rivan is quite a successful person, sir. He has many cafe branches spread all over the country" said Andre who still stands in front of Ardigo's desk

"Did he cooperate with someone in developing his cafe?"

"No sir. He developed it himself. Initially the cafe belonged to her adoptive parents and only had a few branches. Then after Mr. Rivan jumped directly to take care of it, he managed to develop the cafes until what they are now."

"She's pretty good too" Ardigo commented softly

"He had a very close relationship with Ms. Friska because they used to be from the same orphanage" Andre said as if giving a spoiler about the closeness between Friska and Rivan

Ardigo continued his activities to read all the files.

"Alright, you can go out" he told Andre

"Alright sir, I'm sorry" Andre said and twisted his body

"Will Friska like it, Ndre?" asked Ardigo suddenly who made Andre's step stop. The man turned his body back to face Ardigo

"I mean sir?"

"He was a person Friska had known for a long time, and he was also an established man. Is Friska gonna like it?" ardigo clarified the previous question

Andre began to understand the meaning of the superior

"You mean because Mr. Rivan is a well-established man, then Miss Friska will immediately like him?" ask Andre

"Are most women not like that?"

"I'm sure you know Friska better than me sir. Does she belong to such a group of women?" ask Andre back

Ardigo then fell silent, as he had no reason to say 'yes'

"Tell me if Miss Friska is indeed included in the class of women who are treasure hunters. But if it is like that, then the current husband is not you sir, but Mr. Rivan. Because Ms. Friska has known Mr. Rivan not for a year and two years, but 17 years. And Mr. Rivan became successful also not only now, sir, has been from 8 years ago since he began to plunge take care of the cafe. So if Miss Friska does like Mr. Rivan because of his property, I think it has been a long time since he asked to be married by Mr. Rivan." explained Andre who made Ardigo fixated

He also did not think that Friska belonged to the treasure-crazed female faction, yet he only felt a little fear and doubt at this moment. Rivan is handsome, kind, and well-established, and his added value is that he's someone Friska has known for a long time. It was impossible for a figure like Rivan to be ignored by a woman. Ardigo feels a little threatened by the presence of someone named Rivan. Somehow he felt afraid that one day Friska would start liking Rivan

"I don't mean to say that Friska is such a girl" Ardigo said softly

"You're just being insecure at the moment sir" Andre replied smiling knots

"What do you mean?"

Andre simply smiled in response to Ardigo's question

"I'm sorry sir, please try to find the answer" said Andre and immediately out of Ardigo's room

"Aishhh shit! he made me think" Ardigo said when he saw Andre's departure

Meanwhile, after closing the door of Ardigo's room, Andre only smiled witfully while shaking his head in surprise. He never saw Ardigo that selemot. The man who is usually firm, authoritative, and intelligent now looks stupid and confused. But he deliberately let Ardigo think and find the answer himself.

*****

"Fris, have you seen Rivan's announcement on whatsapp?"

"Not yet, what is she?"

"Said Rivan tonight there is a friend who will hold a birthday party for his wife in the cafe. His friend suddenly told him to Rivan's brother"

"So tonight are all the employees going in?" ask Friska

"Yes. Should we just go in?" ask Tasya

"Can. When the clock comes home later we go directly to the cafe" suggested Friska

"All right"

Not feeling the clock came home, Friska and Tasya escorted by Naura to the cafe owned by Rivan. Friska called Mr. Danang not to have to pick her up

Arriving at the cafe they were immediately greeted by cafe employees who were busy preparing for the event later tonight. There are busy preparing the menu, there are also busy doing the decoration. Friska and Tasya immediately kept their bags and would join in to help with other work.

Friska looks worried about contacting Ardigo or not.

Should I call him? will he care about me? But I think I'm gonna be home late tonight

Friska was still at war with her inner self while continuing to look at the cell phone. Finally he decided to call Ardigo. But the man did not pick up his phone

Maybe he was busy at the office. Think Friska

As she was about to type the message, Tasya suddenly came and told Friska to hurry up

"Come on Fris, the decor is not finished yet. We have not much time" Tasya said

Friska immediately put her phone back in the bag, not so send a message to Ardigo

Oh, my job is more important. I'm not taking Vano anyway, he's not gonna be mad. Friska finally broke up and joined her other friends

The show has already started. The guests of Rivan's friend's invitation have arrived. Friska, Tasya, and the rest of the cafe employees seemed busy serving guests during the running of the event. It did not feel the event was over and all the invited guests began to leave the cafe until the remaining couple who were friends of Rivan.

"I'm sorry Van, I suddenly told you because this was out of my plan" said Rivan's friend

"It's okay, you always have" Rivan replied with a laugh. The man also laughed. They had been close friends since meeting on the college bench, so Rivan already knew very well how his best friend was

"Well then, my wife and I go home first. Accepted a lot" after saying goodbye, the couple went home

Rivan approached his employees who were resting

"Thank you everyone, you've been working really hard tonight" Rivan said

"Sama-sama boss. We are also happy if there is an event like this" said Rendi

They continued to talk for a while. The time had already shown at 10pm, and they decided to go home soon. They'll clean up the cafe tomorrow morning because it's late at night, of course with Rivan's orders.
