Standing long enough in front of the door, made someone who saw the man's behavior feel faint.

Kenan walks into his courtyard, after a while watching Alex from the gate of the house, the man is seen by Kenan continuing to stand in front of the entrance of the house.

"What do you need?" Ask Kenan.

Alex seemed surprised to hear someone making a sound while he was doing something.

"Want to see Rachel?" Ask Kenan again.

"Is he home?" Alex asked back.

"It doesn't seem like he's been working in Ana's restaurant for months." Kenan.

"worked? What about Nana?"

Kenan sighed, he was very lazy to interfere in the affairs of these people.

"Of course, Ana's guarding him. Rachel works as an employee and sister Ana who as the boss there has free time as well as a lighter job, therefore sister Ana who takes care of the child." Kenan.

"That kid you said? Hey, he's got a name." Said Alex .

"Yes, I mean Nana. Besides, why do you care now after ignoring it. Your regret seems to be too late huh." Syndir Kenan then passed into the house.

"It's better to be late than not." Alex muttered, repeating Rachel's sentence at that time.

•••

Rachel wiped her sweat off, diners today are more than yesterday, probably because today is the weekend.

It feels sad to get a shift schedule on the weekend, but it's all due to his own demand. He always asks Ana to be fair and not distinguish him from other employees, even though Rachel is his sister.

"Are you tired? Let me take your place for a while, you rest." Said Dita, a senior employee there.

"Ah no, just a little sweating does not mean tired." Rachel said.

Dita smiled, though,

"Well, if you're feeling tired, take a break, don't push yourself." His advice then passed back to his work.

Rachel simply replied with a smile. Then pick up the dirty dishes on that table again.

But it seems like fatigue is indeed covering him, for a moment he lost focus and it made him accidentally hit a woman who was a visitor of the restaurant.

Suddenly the sound of broken dishes echoed throughout the restaurant. Everyone now turned to Rachel who had fallen on the floor.

"Damn!" The woman who accidentally hit Rachel was annoyed, she brushed off the remnants of food that was thrown into her clothes.

"Sorry miss, I didn't accidentally." Rachel said, she stood up, took a tissue from one of the tables and helped the woman clean her dirty clothes.

"Take off your dirty hands! Look at my clothes look even dirtier because of your blood!" His impact while pointing at Rachel's hand that looks to bleed because it was hit by broken plates.

"Rachel." Dita comes to help Rachel apologize to the woman.

"Sorry miss, we'll compensate for everything." Dita.

The woman screeched, looking down on Rachel and Dita who were wearing employee uniforms.

"You think my clothes can be bought with your salary?! Not even one of these restaurants will be enough to buy my clothes!" He said with a face that looked so haughty.

Rachel looked down even further, she had never experienced this kind of thing before, it made her body tremble in fear, feel ashamed and humiliated.

"Call your boss!" Said a man who seemed to be the woman's lover.

"No, I promise I'll change these dirty clothes." Said Rachel, she did not want Ana to fuss anymore because of her. While Ana is still in her room and doesn't know about the matter, Rachel must solve it.

"How is a poor man like you going to change my clothes? You want to give me monthly installments?! You think I'm a loan shark?! If you could pay for it straight away, I wouldn't be fighting this thing." Said the woman with a look of disgust at Rachel.

Hearing her, Rachel lowered her head even more.

"Honey, we're the center of attention. Just have him kneel to you to apologize. After that, I'll buy you new clothes that are more expensive than this." Said the man beside the woman who was angry at Rachel.

"The longer you act, the worse yeah, Rena." The voice of a man who called the woman's name, made all the attention now directed to her.

"Sister Alex." Rena said, in an instant she was like a clam hiding in its shell.

Alex walks up to Rachel, the man grabs Rachel's still bleeding hand.

Alex takes a handkerchief out of his pants pocket and wraps it around Rachel's wound.

"You okay?" Alex asked with his worried face.

Rachel nodded with a smile that expressed gratitude.

"Rachel, Alex, and what's going on?" At that time, Ana also appeared with Nana in her carrier.

"Dia—" Rena looked at Ana in disbelief, she remembered when she was decided by Alex because of Ana.

At that time Ana claimed to be the fiance of Alex. Even because of Ana's actions, Rena had to move university because she was embarrassed by the news that she was the pet of rich men, even though it was true.

"This is your restaurant?" Ask Rena to Alex.

Alex shook his head, he then picked up his wallet and gave Rena his secretary's business card.

"Call that number to ask for damages." Said Alex.

"Why do you care about this employee of your fiancee?" Ask Rena who still thinks that Ana is the fiance of Alex.

Everyone who knew Ana and Alex was astonished by the woman's words.

"Darling, let's get out of here." Said the man who was with Rena, the man looked scared to see Alex and Ana.

"Wait a minute baby, I don't want a lowly employee like him to feel proud to be helped by his boss' fiancee." Rena says.

"Team head Ferdian, it looks like you've been wrong looking for a lover huh." Alex said to the man next to Rena.

"You know him?" Rena asked her boyfriend, Ferdian.

"She's the director of my company, she's the sister of CEO Raymond, and the woman holding the child isn't Alex's fiancee but the CEO's wife. If they both complain, I could get fired." Ferdian whispers to Rena.

"What?!" Pekik Rena can't believe it.

Alex seemed to be holding back his smile, hearing the talk of lovers who had been boasting, now completely hiding behind their shells.

"Why are you guys making a fuss in my restaurant?" Asked Ana who had just arrived after hard work down the stairs because she had to hold Nana with her stomach that had grown.

"I'm sorry, but your employees hit me first." Ferdian said politely.

"But Rachel has apologized to them, but it's just complicated, even this woman said if your restaurant will not be able to buy the clothes she was wearing." Said Dita, the girl was giving oil and also a match to Ana, hoping that Rena could get a reply due to her arrogance earlier.

Some of Ana's employees who were there also held back their laughter hearing Dita who complained to their boss.

"Don't you know that the owner of this restaurant is the wife of the CEO of TNP Group! Not only the clothes you wear can be bought, but also the entire contents of the store and even the clothing store can also be bought by Miss Ana." Connect Dita with a tone that is deliberately higher than before so that everyone in the restaurant hears it and laughs at Rena's stupidity.

"We, don't be like that." Ana's whisper to Dita.

"Sorry boss, I'm just too upset with him." Said Dita who now looked at Rena with her cynical gaze.

"I'm sorry for the mistakes of my employees. I hope this matter can be resolved in a good way." Ana politely said to Rena and Ferdian.

"Ah no problem, Miss Gavin. It doesn't need to be in trouble anymore." Said Ferdian with a slightly bowed body respectfully to Ana.

Ana smiles awkwardly hearing herself being called by the surname Ray. He felt amused himself to hear it.

"Then go, and you're Rena, if you want money to change your clothes call that number." Said Alex.

"Let's Rena." Invite Ferdian to pull Rena who is still staring at Rachel upset.

"Wait, why do you care about this employee?! And also lied to me about getting engaged to your own sister-in-law." Ask Rena.

"Why do I care about him? Because she's the mother of my son. And why I lied to you, it's none of your business." Alex answered with a straight face.

Rena is gaping, increasingly irritated by Alex's irritating answer to her. The woman hissed annoyed and then went out of the restaurant.
