Vip Talks

Alia was still shocked as she returned Rinda's embrace. His entire vigilance had sagged for a moment.

"You've become a sweet woman" Rinda said as she let go of her embrace. He tidied up Alia's slightly messy haircut.

Alia opened her mouth slightly, yet fully recovered from the shock. "Tante Rinda is here."

Rinda nodded. "Yes. For almost ten years we have not seen each other. Aunt hardly recognized you."

"Liar" said Wilda, who felt neglected.

Rinda did not respond to Wilda's remarks, on the one hand, Alia did not pay attention either. Unlike Alia, Rinda has not had a significant change from her appearance since ten years ago. Alia still clearly remembered Rinda even though thin wrinkles began to form on her face that still looked beautiful.

"Hey, are you guys going to keep standing? I'm tired and want to order something right away" Wilda interrupted.

"Nobody forbid you to sit down from now on" Rinda said a little unconcernedly.

"Wickedly..have you not been told that I had to run, just now?" Wilda continued to complain. He haphazardly pulled up a chair and threw himself in there.

Rinda did not listen to the complaint. He pulled Alia gently and invited her to sit on one of the chairs as well.

"cheat! Alia you treat me gently, but with me you get very cold" Wilda protested.

Rinda did not respond.

Alia stared alternately between the two women. "Tante Rinda and Wilda's sister?"

Wilda nodded enthusiastically while Rinda shook her head.

"You really are!" yell Wilda again.

"You must have told Alia to call you 'sister'. Are you not self-conscious. You and Alia are different by twenty years." Rinda looked at Wilda fiercely.

Wilda shrugged her shoulders. "I just don't want to be called a aunt like you. After all, Alia and I were not really twenty years different. We're nineteen." We're nineteen."

"Just the same."

"No!"

Rinda and Wilda continue the debate. Alia smiled a little. He could see the closeness of the two through the slightly brutal communication. Alia had already completely dispelled any suspicions on Wilda. He became calm once he found the person he would meet was someone he really knew first.

Despite having a myriad of questions that she desperately wanted to shed, Alia still held back. He silently glanced around. At first he thought he could not see the scenery from that place because when viewed from outside, the glass of this room is not even translucent. After entering, Alia realized it. The place even presents a view of a special artificial park in the area which is quite good.

"What do you want to order, Alia?" ask Rinda suddenly.

Alia turned her head quickly and found Rinda and Wilda were looking at her.

"The view is pretty, huh?" god Wilda with a slow throb.

Alia's cheeks are heating up. He felt ashamed for not paying attention to the person who took him to the best place he had ever been.

"Once again you bother him, I'll cut your short hair out" threatened Rinda.

Wilda instantly shut her mouth and held her hair alert.

"So, what do you want to order, Al?" reset Rinda.

Alia looked at the menu list in Rinda's hand and started scratching her head. "I don't think I'm going to order, Auntie."

"Eh... Why?" Wilda asked.

Alia smiled awkwardly. "The money I used to buy one kind of food here I could have bought another item that lasted for months."

Hearing that, Rinda patted Alia on the shoulder. "You don't think about it, Al. Aunty's buying today."

"I'll pick the menu. You should try the best food here. Although not as good as the food I sold at my place, at least this is quite good as well. Huh...if this stupid Rinda lets me open a branch of WR Coffee in this city, I'll take you straight to try my best there." Wilda snatched the menu from Rinda's hand and began to choose the food.

Rinda did not comment. He slowly sighed.

Alia was just about to reject the offer when Rinda stroked Alia's black hair.

"Thank you." Alia smiled sweetly. Rarely did anyone notice the dark blue ribbon that Alia was wearing. At first glance, the blue ribbon is nothing special. So Alia really appreciated Rinda's praise which slipped her sincere smile.

This time Wilda just stared at them without coming back to roar. He lowered his head to finish the order while scratching his non-itchy head.

"Rin-Rin, don't forget the purpose for which we brought him here" Wilda said in a more relaxed tone.

Rinda agreed. Usually he will scold Wilda who likes to say her name carelessly. This time, he did not comment. Rinda took Alia's hand and held it. "I'm sorry if this is too sudden. Alia, do you want to stay with Auntie?"

Alia did not expect to get such a question. So he couldn't give a quick answer.

"Your mother and father are Aunt's best friends and seniors. At their last moment, Auntie could not be there. That's a big regret. At least by taking care of you at this time, it can help eliminate that taste," added Rinda.

Alia still seems to think. There was no reason for him to doubt Rinda. Since he could begin to remember, Rinda always came to visit their house to see his mother. Alia is also a person who is close to Rinda from the beginning until the age of eleven years. It was the year when sad and pleasant moments had the most impact on him. Rinda who began to rarely visit them is called by her mother is having important business in one place. From then on, Rinda never showed up again for years.

"Sorry, Aunt. But leaving Mom and Dad's stuff at home, it's pretty heavy. I appreciate Aunt's good offer. However, the memories in that house still want me to feel." Alia refused with a soft tone.

Rinda's face looks pias. "You can bring stuff from there. Aunties can also have people take care of the house periodically. Or-"

"Rin-Rin," cut Wilda fast. He shook his head slowly at Rinda's pushy response.

Alia honestly did not expect Rinda's reaction to be like that. He thought that Rinda would be able to accept Alia's choice. However, rather than being sad because his request was rejected, Rinda looked more anxious.

"I'm sorry..," said Rinda, so aware of what she was doing. He nodded his head slowly while looking down. "I've been a little depressed lately."

Wilda crossed her arms around her chest. "Look, you've made Alia so uncomfortable."

"Ah, no. I'm fine." Alia was a little panicked when Wilda mentioned her name. "Tante Rinda don't worry. I'm happy with that good intention. For the next time, if I change my mind, I hope Aunt is still willing to make this offer again."

Rinda looked up to hear Alia's explanation. Soon he started laughing softly.

"Jeez, Alia. You really are a photocopy of Astrid, your mother. Your words are exactly the same. In this case, there's no way Auntie could feel anything other than being calmer." Rinda smiled broadly.

Wilda who was watching became stunned. He could tell the huge impact that Alia had on Rinda. At his best friend, he rarely showed any expression other than moody, sad, or serious. However, for a while, Rinda had smiled more and could even laugh. Things that are difficult to do even though Wilda has been by his side for many years.

A smile rose on Wilda's lips. He was also pleased with the small changes that Rinda showed. It shows that his choice of choosing this path was correct. Wilda took a breath and dispelled her smile in an instant. He stared intently at Rinda and Alia.

"Next is my turn. I'm going to recruit you, Alia Redalia, to be my employee at WR Coffee. You don't have to prepare anything to get in here, because of the recommendation from me and Rinda at once. For that, I don't accept any rejection from you." Wilda finished her sentence with a pushy look.

Rinda nodded and asked Alia to agree to that.

Seeing that Rinda and Wilda both forced her, Alia had no choice but to accept. After all, there was no way he would waste the opportunity to work in a famous place like WR Coffee.

They continued to talk about it in more detail. In the midst of the conversation, their order came and it was Wilda who stood up to take it. After that, no one bothers them anymore. In accordance with the concept of the room, all for the sake of maintaining confidentiality or serious talks that are ongoing. Therefore, interaction with the outside is completely limited. Their food was ordered through a special tablet that was already on the table.

That clever concept inspired Wilda to make the same in WR Coffee later, after coming home from Central City.

"Oh, right. I want to ask this too. How did Auntie know I was at the airport in Central City?" ask Alia. He gets an explanation that Wilda picked him up because of a directive from Rinda.

"Well, Alia, you can't underestimate this aunt. Quietly, he had a fairly extensive information network in this one province. Only one can match it, and we better not name the old monster" Wilda replied quickly.

Rinda just kept quiet and scooped up her food.

Alia nodded in understanding. He felt there were no lies in those words even though he did not have a definite picture of the extent of the network in question.

"Then, did Auntie also find information that someone was spying or looked threatening when picking me up earlier? Brother Wilda and I had to run there. In addition, it seems like Aunt Rinda also did something that made this cafe so empty and did not accept buyers anymore. More than that, Auntie also rented a VIP room just to talk about the offer and about this job," Alia analysis. He seemed more relaxed after channeling all of his questions in one explanation he thought.

Rinda was gobsmacked and unable to answer, while Wilda gulped. They knew that Alia was a smart woman. But they did not expect that Alia would be this sharp.

Alia also admitted a little bit of her advantage. Staying with Daniel has made him a more sensitive and critical person to his surroundings. Especially in daily activities, he was forced to translate a situation because Daniel who was too irritable to talk would not give him a satisfactory explanation.

"I-it's... You know what, Alia? Aaa-oh! Aye! Rin-Rin is a very important person in the business world. In addition, many have grudges with him, therefore he needs very strict protection. At the airport, too, it's just so we're safe. And if I don't say we're in a hurry, you might not want to come with me." Wilda answered.

Rinda nodded in agreement. The two women who were both older than Alia were pouring cold sweat as Alia gave a look of disbelief.

But Alia did not push this any further. He kept the question deep again. Had Daniel been there when he returned home, Alia could have told him about this and had Daniel analyze it. While he pondered, Wilda quickly switched the conversation again.
