Xena
113. Eliminate pests in restaurants

Xena had been awake since dawn, she had only slept four hours, but that was enough for her. He immediately rushed to take a shower and prepared to go to the restaurant.

XR Restaurant is open at seven in the morning, but employees will come at 6 am to clean and also arrange the restaurant. To look clean and attractive

Xena has been at his restaurant since 6 o'clock at 10, he remains in his car. He watches every employee who comes. Then he saw a 23-year-old young girl working as a waitress, her name was Eti.

Eti is an employee who was bribed by the Amartha Hotel to sabotage his restaurant.

Xena watches over Eti, in a subtle way without arousing suspicion of the target and other employees. Xena finds Eti, who is at the employee counter, secretly bagging a small brown glass bottle and plastic containing dead cockroaches in her pants pocket.

....

At 7 am, customers come to enjoy a delicious breakfast at XR Restaurant. Eti looks like an employee in general, he records customer orders and submits the notes to the kitchen.

Shortly after, he returned to the kitchen to pick up the customer's order. But he did not walk towards the customer, but he turned a little in the corner of the hallway between the kitchen and the food storage warehouse.

He looks to look to the right and to the left to confirm something, after he feels safe enough. He took the plastic containing the dead cockroach and mixed it in the food.he also mixed the powder from a small bottle into the drink on the tray.

Just as he was about to bring his food, he was shocked when he turned to find Xena and also Citra standing there along with a security.

Eti's body seemed to be trembling but she was trying to be calm. Because he thought Citra was only controlling the state of the resto as usual.

"Boss, ma'am manager" he said nervously.

"What are you doing here?" tanya Citra looked at Eti's nervous facial features.

"Ah, I had my foot bitten by an ant, so come here to put some food and take the ants that bother me to work" he said

"Ah so?" image as if to believe.

"Yes Bu manager" said Eti smiling and sighing in relief as she thought the person in front of her believed in the reason.

But suddenly he was surprised when Citra told security to arrest him.

"Catch him sir!" image to security.

"Mom, what's going on? What's my fault? Why did you ask security to arrest me?" eti asked shouting and rebelling.

It made the employees not far from there hear the scream, they approached and saw what happened. They see Eti in security capture and then guess what really happened.

"What are you wrong?" image with anger.

With the condition of Eti being caught and both hands are held in security. The image ransacked Eti's pants pocket which made Eti sweat cold. He realized that his action had been discovered.

"Then can you explain what you mean by this, huh???" shouted Citra. showed a package containing cockroaches and also a small bottle.

"It. that's.I caught a cockroach for me to throw and the bottle was my medicine ma'am" said Eti still trying to dodge.

"Oh really? Then why are there cockroaches in the food for customers?" tanya Citra pointed at the food beside Eti.

"S-sa-i don't know ma'am" Eti said trembling.

Eti immediately sat on his knees and apologized, because he did not want to take the medicine that turned out to be poison. Even though the poison is low in dosage, it is still called a dangerous poison.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, manager. I admit I was wrong" Eti said in tears.

"Oh so you confess now? Then you tell me who told you to sabotage the food at the restaurant?" ask Citra angrily.

Eti just kept silent not daring to answer. Everyone who heard was shocked, they did not expect that Eti would dare to do evil in her own workplace.

If the restaurant is closed, they will also lose their jobs. They looked at Eti with a strong sense of hate.

"Here you go, take him to the police station!" said Xena

"No-no, please don't take me to the police, don't jail me!" eti said pleading.

"You don't have a choice, it's a result of the actions you take" Xena said.

"Miss please forgive me, I was just told by the owner of Hotel Amartha, to sabotage the restaurant. I needed money to check on my sick mother, so I was forced to take money from her" Eti said in tears.

"Don't think I'm stupid, so I don't dig up information about you. I know you don't have parents, you live with your only family - your grandfather now!" xena said like a lightning bolt that struck Eti's ear because his lie was exposed.

"You can't report me, you have no proof and there's also an Amartha hotel party protecting me, you can't put me in jail!" eti said not accept.

"Oh like that? Unfortunately we have evidence and also the person who has protected you cannot even protect himself. Read this!!" Xena threw the daily paper this morning.

It says that the businessman and owner of Amartha Hotel were arrested by police for fraud, money laundering and dirty tricks and his hotel is now bankrupt and acquired by a mysterious businessman.

"That-can't be!" eti said she did not believe what she saw.

"Nothing is impossible in this world. Take him to the nearest police station. Let him receive punishment according to what he has done" said Xena

"No! Don't arrest me, I'm sorry miss, missaaa" shouted Eti.

He was escorted to the police station through the back door of the restaurant because he did not want to interfere with customer comfort. Food that has been sabotaged has also been discarded and also replaced by new ones.

Xena breathed a sigh of relief when the illness at her restaurant was eradicated. At least Eti will serve at least 2 years in prison.

"Miss, forgive my negligence" Citra said feeling guilty because of her incompetent work and negligence.

If the boss doesn't move fast, maybe their restaurant will be closed even in the prosecution. He and Xena could end up in jail for being negligent and customers could sue him.

"It's not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself. You just need to work more thoroughly. If there's something in the restaurant call me right away, I won't let anyone else destroy what I have" Xena said.

"Well miss, I will work even better" Citra said, promising not to disappoint her boss again in the future. If not, he doesn't know what to say to his father and the Octavio family.

After the problems at the restaurant were over, Xena had breakfast in her private room because she had not had time to eat breakfast. After that he went to the airport to pick up his girlfriend.
