A little nervous, Axelm approached the seat of his father and mother. "Papa, mama, there's something Axel wants to talk to you two."
Axel's father frowned at the sound of his son looking serious. "Of course, Axel. What do you want to say? It seems like it's important.
Axel nodded. "Axel would like to ask permission for you to use one of our shophouses. Axel wanted to manage it as a restaurant or cafe."
Her mother was a little surprised by her son's request. This was an incredible thing, which he heard from his only child. Her mother, Shena, was also astonished because Axel said softly and politely. Not the same as usual.
"Oh, so. That sounds interesting. However, we feel the need to get a more detailed explanation and reason from you, Axel. Why do you want to do this?" tanyanya wants to know.
"I'm sorry, mama, if Axel doesn't provide an adequate explanation. Axel is very passionate about this idea and has done a lot of research. Axel believes that opening a restaurant or cafe will be a profitable business opportunity for us."
Now her father is surprised. This kid is not used to thinking about many things, especially about business. Axel used to only be able to squander money without caring about anything.
"But, what makes you sure that this is the right move for you, Axel? What's your business plan?" ask his father, trying to draw evidence.
"Axel has put together a comprehensive business plan. Axel has conducted a market study and looked at the potential customers in this area. Axel will also partner with an experienced chef to create an attractive and quality menu. In addition, Axel will conduct an effective marketing strategy to attract customers and ensure the sustainability of this business."
Mom and Dad looked at each other. The two of them never expected that his son could speak this seriously about business.
"That sounds better. However, are there any other factors we should consider in this decision?" shena asked curiously.
"Axel understands your worries, papa and mama. In addition to financial benefits, Axel also sees this as an opportunity to build a family business that we can pass on to future generations. In addition, I am committed to maintaining and maintaining this building well in order to remain a valuable asset to our family."
His father increasingly looked at the explanation given by his son. "You're okay, aren't you, Xel?"
"What the hell, Pa?" axel asked annoyed.
Shena groped several times seeing how the two men who were part of her life were arguing with each other. This made him happy because he had not gotten this warm atmosphere for a long time.
"Thank you for the explanation, Axel. We appreciate your sincerity in coming up with this idea. We will consider your request and discuss it further later."
"Yes, we'll talk about it seriously, Axel. We want to make sure that this is a good decision for all of us."
Finally, Axel's mom and dad considered Axel's request just now. They have many used shophouse buildings or those that are not. Because in addition to being an official, they are also a businessman who certainly has a lot of business because of the ease of the position owned by his father Axel.
Hearing an urgent question for the reason of his request earlier, finally forced Axel to tell the reason that he wanted to use the shophouse to help a girl who was in distress. From the story of Axel, his mother and father actually had another thought that Axel must love the girl. Because this child is not used to paying attention to the opposite sex or anyone else, so they draw such conclusions.
After being forced by a sense of honesty, Axel finally tells papa and mama that the real reason he wants to use the shophouse is to help a girl in distress. However, the reaction from mama and papa was not as he expected.
"So, the real reason behind your request is because of that girl? What do you mean, Axel?" ask Shena.
"Yes, mama. The girl was in financial trouble and I wanted to give her a chance to help in managing the restaurant or cafe. I believe he has the talent and potential to succeed in this industry."
Axel tried to provide an explanation by giving an overview of Alena. She can't tell her mom and dad the truth about who Alena really is.
With a doubtful expression, his papa asked a question. "Axel, are you sure this isn't because you love her? We've never seen you so considerate of the opposite sex or anyone in particular before."
Axel squinted his eyes at the question. "Papa, I understand your concern. But this is not about love. I just want to help him in his difficult situation. My goal is to give people decent opportunities and gain business profits from this endeavor."
It turns out that Axel still does not want to express his feelings or his relationship with Alena. What has happened between the two of them due to the p3-stimulating drug given by Darren.
"But Axel, bringing personal issues into the family business is not always a wise decision. What happens if your relationship with the girl ends or there are problems in cooperation?" Shena asked a question.
He is very experienced in business of all kinds. So, he is more experienced and knows the situation on the field.
"Axel understood that concern, mama. However, I believe that with serious commitment and clear agreement, we can manage this business with professionalism. I want to prove that this is the right decision to help others and also grow our family business."
His father just nodded. "We have to think carefully about the long-term implications of this decision, Axel. We care about your happiness and the continuity of the family business."
Axel was disappointed by the attitude of his mom and dad, who couldn't believe him 100%. He has given a detailed explanation.
"Axel understands, papa. I don't mean to make this decision without consideration. I'm ready to discuss and resolve any issues that may arise. I hope you can support me in carrying out the plan this time."
Tension, worry of course makes the situation uncomfortable. There was a new heat between Axel, his mother, and his father. Axel must prove that his intention is to help and develop the family business, not solely because of his personal relationship with the girl. It is important for them to communicate openly and find solutions together to overcome the uncertainties and concerns that arise.
"What is your motivation, Axel?" ask Shena again.
