Alex sits in the dressing room. Her work hours ended ten minutes ago, but she's still at the restaurant because she's going home with Madeline's mom who happens to have needs in the Black Grill located in Alex's town. Madeline's mom offered Alex a ride. Actually Alex wanted to refuse just now but he didn't have a good enough reason to use.
"Wait a long time, let's go now, "take Madeline. Alex immediately followed his boss to the bus stop for the staff. It did not take long they were in a car that drove to the city of XX which is where Alex lived.
Madeline's mom had to pull over her car on the way because she received a phone call.
"Sorry Chris I can't accompany you today, I have business" Madeline told her interlocutor on the phone.
"I can't leave this business to Radit, as an assistant manager he's been pretty busy with restaurant operations. Don't sulk at me this is the first time I break my promise, you eat yourself first today, next time I make amends, already yes I rush this don't bother me driving. "Madeline's mom cut off her phone and drove back.
Alex is actually curious whether Chris who called his boss is the same man who is currently on his mind?. If it's true, from the way Bu Madeline talks it seems like they're really close. I really want Alex to make sure his curiosity, but how?, it must be strange if he asks his boss if Chris who talked to him on the phone was the owner of Black Grill. What right does he have to ask that question.
"Sorry, our journey has been hampered, that was our big boss Chris. I had promised to accompany her to a meal but suddenly I had to go to the Black Grill branch of XX city, and I had not had time to tell her that she had already reached our restaurant." It turned out that fate sided with Alex, without bothering to question that from just now in his mind was answered already.
" She often eats at our place, Mom. "
" Hahaha, maybe if you don't see me, the food in front of him doesn't taste good, " joked Madeline.
Somehow Alex's heart felt a little hot to hear the words of his boss, although maybe the meaning is joking.
For whatever his heart ached, didn't the man say that there were many women approaching him. It was impossible for him not to take that golden opportunity. Especially if you get one like Madeline. It's beautiful, sexy, smart again.
"Hehe could be Ma'am, " said Alex forcing himself to laugh. "Oh yes Ma'am, I went down in the same place as my mother, because there is something I want to buy in the mall."
"Well then, but really there is something you want to buy, not because you are not good at the anter home with me, " said Madeline relaxed.
"No ma'am, really." Alex said.
As soon as he arrived at the Mentari Mall Alex immediately left after thanking his superiors.
When his mind is weird that can help him feel better is ice-cream dark chocolate. Soon he went to the ice cream booth that he visited most often first whenever he felt stressed facing the ridicule of his school friends.
"You're okay, right?" asked a young man who was none other than Chollato's staff, as he placed the ice cream portion of super jumbo onto Alex's table.
"Yes I'm fine, why does it look so weird on my face?" alex asked back, maybe from earlier he did not realize that he did not look good.
"Not that, you look beautiful, it's just that you're gonna order these big portions every time you have a problem, that's my guess."
Who is this man, how could he know my habits. And he said I was beautiful.
Alex, who felt like he had just seen the young man, asked, "I'm sorry do we know each other? "
" How to explain yes. " The man scratched his head.
It turns out that he is the son of the owner of the ice-cream outlet, and he used to help his parents every time he went home from school. It was from there that he knew Alex and secretly watched Alex. At that time Alex often came still with school uniforms with eyes as puffy as weeping and would order ice cream super jumbo portion that is usually ordered for one family. From there he concluded that today Alex is in trouble so he ordered super jumbo portions.
" It's my first time back in 3 years, and it's great to see you again. I wasn't sure you were that ice-cream girl. You really change a lot, "said the man kindly as if they were old friends who had just met again.
" I didn't dare say hello because I was afraid that you would cry again and be disturbed. But now I won't miss the chance I have. "
" I'm sorry I didn't realize that you used to carry my orders." Alex doesn't know what else to talk about. Because he had no memories of the man now sitting in front of him. Indeed, he always came here after being satisfied crying in the school toilet. Always order a super jumbo portion so she can sit here for a long time to remove the crying marks from her family.
"Not to apologize. I'm the one who should be sorry, I thought you'd be angry or scared after knowing I always secretly watched you, "he said. "Because now you know, how about we meet. My name is Ryan, "he added, extending a hand.
"Alexandria, call me Alex."
They talked and joked for a long time. Telling each other's activities. Ryan got a scholarship abroad and for three years he studied there. If not for the threat of his father who would remove his name from the family card, he actually had no intention to go home to spend the middle of the semester, because he was lazy to take two days of travel, he actually had no intention to go home to spend the rest of the semester, not to mention having to transit at the airport for seven hours.
So cool to talk Alex to forget the reason what makes him order ice-cream jumbo portions. Now the ice-cream was spent alone with Ryan. It's not usually that he's fast to get close to a new person, let alone the opposite sex, but Ryan is different. He had a pleasant aura, was kindly stupid and also funny. A lot of him have funny stories about his life abroad that successfully make Alex strutted. If it was open because of a phone call from Kak Andre who asked the whereabouts of his beloved sister who had no news until dinner time must be Alex is still chatting.
"Thanks for the deal. Later if there is time we chat again yes, "gut Alex after exchanging no hp. Ryan refused when Alex was about to pay for his order, but he also ate brownies. Talking is best while snacking.
Arriving at home he immediately took a bath in a hurry because his family was waiting for him at the dinner table.
"Tomorrow if you play where you say, say Mother and Father, " Andre's nag.
"Yes, I'm sorry that I forgot the time."
"For Chris's sake, right, let's say you came out with him?" guess Andre's origin.
Her brother's remark again reminded Alex of his unwarranted annoyance at Chris.
"Have no fuss, this is when the father's meal was hungry, "said the father knowing his daughter's facial expression suddenly changed when Andre mentioned Chris's name.
" Mommy, I ate a little, which means my lunch tomorrow will be a lot, ", Alex said, keeping the remaining dinner side dishes in the refrigerator. It has become their habit if the leftover dinner side dish must be tomorrow in their lunch box. So I'm not too busy cooking.
" For the average dong, who told me to eat a little, " protest Andre disagreed.
"If my stomach is not full I've spent it all, let's eat fried eggs tomorrow."
"Who said I could buy Pak Slamet's ribs. You're the one who ate the fried egg while smelling the steak." Andre taunted his sister.
"None I can buy steak at my workplace, get a 50% staff discount%."
"Why don't you say it, you want to dong once in a while eat a famous steak."
"Yes, I'll take you guys with me, but at the Black Grill in the sun mall. If the money in Paradiso is more expensive the VAT tax is greater. But calm down the quality is the same." Alex explains. Indeed, he had plans to bring his family to taste the no wahid steak. It was just that he and the other new staff passed the trial period which meant that they ended up profiting as Black Grill staff, which was a 50% discount on every Black Grill branch anywhere.
"Asiiiikkk, when dong my dear sister, gapatani brother nih pingin expensive steak, "rayu Andre.
"I just treat Father and Mother, you know, you pay yourself, "joked Alex then ran into the room before his brother could catch up.
The room lights are out and Alex prepares to pull the blanket when there is a message coming in from his ha-pe.
Chris; is he asleep?
Alex had no intention of answering because he was still upset, but it had thrown his mind into chaos. After waiting for about 10 minutes he replied to a message from Chris.
Alex; this is going to sleep.
Chris; it's work tomorrow morning, see you
tomorrow. Have good night.
Alex accidentally did not immediately reply to Chris' first message earlier, he hoped Chris had put down his phone and did not see a reply from him, he said, but it looks like Chris is busy with his phone so he can reply to Alex's messages quickly.
Must be busy seducing women. Or was busy chatting with Madeline Ma'am yes, earlier maybe she was disappointed not to be able to meet. Guess Alex is upset.
Back there was a tone of incoming message. With annoyance Alex got up from his sleeping position. It was from Ryan. There was a small smile on the corner of her lips.
Ryan; sorry to interrupt your sleep, tomorrow
you have no free time?. I have
china restaurant coupons. Know for yourself
their portions are many, impossible
I spent it myself.
Alex quickly replied to his message.
Alex; may but I'm done at six in the afternoon.
Your stomach can
expecting me?.
Ryan; I can, I can freak out first
with ice-cream hehe. Seven o'clock ready?
Alex ; Meet at the ice-cream store.
Ryan; I'll see you tomorrow. Have good night.
Alex felt better after getting a message from Ryan. Now his mind is full of menus of Chinese cuisine that he can't wait to taste tomorrow.
