Cafes Engelskraft has started to crowded visitors even though lunch hour has not arrived. Some visitors are seen waiting for his name to be called through a waiting list that has been recorded neatly by the waitress. It seems that it needs reservations in advance to get a place in the cafe.
“Ferdi, table for two, yes!” Sahut Mario, one of the waiters who was recording the name of the visitor in front.
“Ok! Coincidentally it was prepared. Please follow me.” Reply Ferdi while directing visitors.
Not imagined when the lunch hour arrives, surely they will be more busy serving Engelskraft visitors who come without stopping. The tables in the cafe are full. Boisterous voices were heard from all over, some were calling waitresses to order a menu, some were young professionals talking about potential cooperation with their business partners. Meanwhile, visitors who have not received a seat wait outside neatly.
“Good morning! For how many people?” Ask Mario politely to visitors who have just arrived.
“Two people.” Lina answered representing Kevin standing behind her.
“The 5th Queue yes, Mom! On whose behalf?” Mario.
Lina was speechless with her flair seeing the crowd of the cafe. Though not rush hour, but they have got a queue number only.
“At the name of Kevin Abram.” Lina replied while testing the attitude of the waitress after hearing Abram's name.
“Ok, Kevin Abram. Eh? Abram..?” Mario was stunned, it seemed he realized who was coming.
Lina simply glared at Mario with her haughty face. A satisfied smile was painted on his lips. It seems he'll get the table without having to queue. Kevin who was behind him stared at Mario sharply, as if to say that this place was his.
“Ma. I'll call you later if you have one empty.” Said Mario with a sigh.
“Oh, it's okay if there's no table available yet. But we want to log in to just look around.” Kevin replied with his CEO charisma.
Without a fight, Mario lets them both in. He gave Ferdi a code not far from him that this guest was the owner of the mall where Engelskraft operated. Ferdi immediately came to Kevin and Lina while accompanying them looking around.
“It looks like your business is quite successful, yes. What is the most popular menu here?” Ask Kevin in curiosity.
“Our best seller products are avocado coffee and cheese cake.” Answer Ferdi.
Lina and Kevin looked at each other. It seems that these two products are already widely owned by other cafes. What causes it to be different so that visitors are crowded in the cafe? At least, that was what Lina and Kevin thought.
“The menu is standard, anyway. Is it because of this gothic decoration so crowded visitors?” Ask Kevin.
Ferdi thought hard to answer the question. Do not let him answer wrongly so as to destroy the reputation of the cafe where he works.
“Can I meet the owner?” Kevin asked seeing the waitress was confused to answer him.
“Oh, Mr. Milo did not come today. Coincidentally tomorrow he has a schedule here, maybe you can meet him tomorrow.” Answer Ferdi.
Kevin looks disappointed to find Milo who can not be met. As a businessman, he was eager to exchange ideas about the Engelskraft business from his owner directly. How marketing planning, and product management that is carried out can bring in a crowd.
“Vin, we'll come again tomorrow. You have a meeting in 15 minutes.” Lina reminded.
“Alright, tell your boss that I will be back tomorrow at the same time.” Kevin said to Ferdi.

“Lately the cafe is very crowded, yes.” Siti said surprised.
“Ah, yes too. When I first came here, it didn't seem like much. What's up, huh?” Ailey asked curiously.
“I haven't been there at all. Want to peek for a minute?” Take Siti with passion.
“But we are still on duty, you know.” Ailey answered hesitantly.
“It's okay. There are other SPGs. There is no harm in our permission to go to the toilet.” Siti replied while blinking her eyes.
Ailey and Siti immediately took a thousand steps to save time. Eagerly, Ailey hopes to meet Milo again. It looks like he has started working at Abram City Mall.
At that time the mall was very crowded because it was lunch hour. Visitors from various circles, especially young executives are seen there, either just for lunch or meeting with clients. Most of the visitors were seen thronging Engelskraft. The queue also snared up to a few blocks next to it.
“Wah, crazy too, yes this cafe. How can we peek inside if the queue is like this?” Siti Gumam.
“Give me.” Ailey's word precedes Siti's move.
With an innocent face and no guilt, Ailey walked steadily through the cafe queue until it was right in front of the Engelskraft entrance. He peeked inside and found the entire table there was already filled to the brim. There are no empty benches. But it didn't seem like that was what he was looking for, but rather Milo's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Ailey did not find him.
“Ehem. You want to queue?” Mario surprised.
“Oh, no! I just want to take a look around. Hehehehe.” Answer Ailey cengengesan.
“If you do not intend to queue, please pull over. Do not block the existing lines! Look, behind you already many who can't wait to enter.” Reply Mario with a voice that sounds annoyed.
“Oh, sorry. I'm in the way, yeah. Please proceed.” Ailey said as she moved away from there and turned towards Siti.
“Wah, you're inomelin, huh? Hahaha.” Siti laughs amusedly, “So, what's in there until so many like this?”
“Same as a cafe in general, everything looks ordinary. Only people who come to eat and chat.” Answer Ailey.
“I checked on his instagram, no promos anything is running. What makes it crowded, huh?” Ask Siti curious.
The two of them could only look at the long queue full of question marks. It could taste good food so many visitors. But unfortunately they can not prove it because the price of food in Engelskraft is quite draining pockets. As a result, Ailey and Siti decide to return to the store with a lingering curiosity. Understandably, the FOMO generation is not satisfied if it has not tried something that is hype as soon as possible.
Lina was seen monitoring the two of them from afar. As he left his waist, he waited for the two employees in front of the store. Siti who noticed it immediately gave a signal to Ailey and rushed back.
“A satisfied his streets?” Asked Lina sarcastically.
“Sorry, Mom. We were from the toilet briefly.” Answer Siti in panic.
“Do not try to lie to me, yes! You guys know ‘kan now still working hours?” Lina Gertak. Ailey and Siti can only bow down. “Ailey, as a new child, this behavior of yours is unacceptable. If you want to pass this 3-month trial period, you should comply with the company rules.”
Ailey raised her chin and looked at Lina right in both eyes. He was eager to snap at her but he realized that he was just an employee who still needed a salary. Ailey then lowered her head again, “Sorry. I won't repeat it again.”
Lina, who felt she had conquered Ailey, turned her back haughtily and left them both. Actually, Ailey just lowered her ego a little bit to keep the job at Abram. There was not a single intention in him to be conquered by an arrogant woman like Lina.
