Hate But Love

Eps. 10 (season 2)

With a step gontai Zara entered the coffee shop. He just drove his motorbike pretty fast. I just want to get to this store soon.

Some visitors who knew him greeted him and only answered a sweet smile and nod from him.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" ask Fitri when she sees Zara daydreaming a little.

"There is no mbak. This is the key and the letter of the motor is mbak" said Zara and handed the key to Fitri.

"Eh, why are you returning? Mr. Ramdhani facilitated you with a motorbike. So just pack the bike," said Fitri relaxed. He makes coffee for the customer.

"How do you mean mbak? I don't understand" said Zara. He scratched his head that was not itchy.

"That motor you brought home. So every day you go here on that bike. It is desirable, rather than ride the online motorcycle taxi continuously," replied Fitri casually.

Zara is confused. Even more confused with the attitude of Mr. Ramdhani. It's as if Mr. Ramdhani's attitude changed drastically.

"No need to be dumb. Let's continue working" Fitri said and patted Zara on the shoulder. Zara smiled and continued her work.

His mind is still filled with changes in Mr. Ramdhani's attitude towards him. Today he was treated differently than usual. Mr. Ramdhani also did not hesitate to raise his salary.

While in the office, Zidan was still leaning back in his chair. His hand held the coffee cup while looking at him. He had been in such a position for hours.

"What is so special about this coffee? Just regular coffee. What makes me want to drink it every day?" zidan said slowly. He still watches the cup.

"That's because you're interested in young lord Miss Zara" muttered Fanny who was standing not far from Zidan.

"Fan, did you finish the job I gave you?" asked Zidan and glanced at Fanny at a glance.

"Yes. I've already gotten some info on Miss Zara" Fanny replied politely.

"Say!"

"Miss Zara lives in one of the boarding houses near her campus. Every day she works part time at the 'About Flavors' coffee shop'. Miss Zara also attended one of the top universities in the city. Miss has no friends or friends. Miss is also from an orphanage. The origin of his family is unknown. Every day of labor slamming bones to support himself."

Fanny sighed for a moment before continuing her words.

"For the time being, the lady has no lover. There was one boy from the tavern who had long liked the lady. But the lady never paid attention to it. The lady is also quiet" said Fanny.

Zidan was silent for a long time. Her smile was engraved on her lips so sweet.

"Then, how's that got to do with his coworker? Is good?" ask Zidan.

"During this time the lady's relationship with her co-workers was fine. There is no problem at all young master," replied Fanny. Zidan nodded in understanding.

How sad Zara's life was. He has to work hard to keep eating. Unlike women in general who always spoiled asking for money on his parents.

"Why does it feel like my heart hurts if I hear that he has worked so hard all this time for his life. Why was I so upset when I heard her life story? What's wrong with me" murmured Zidan, not understanding what he was feeling right now. He wanted to protect the woman. Keep her happy and keep her smile.

"No young master" replied Fanny. Zidan nodded in understanding.

Zidan is back to enjoying his coffee. He had to think of a way to get Zara to switch to working for his company. Imagining the weight of the work Zara just lived has made her upset. Zidan tapped his index finger on the table.

"Fan, I want Zara to work here at all costs" Zidan said.

"But young master, miss~" not yet

"I don't like rebuttal" Zidan said.

"Well, I'll arrange it later," replied Fanny resignedly.

Before long, Aletta as Zidan's personal secretary came to inform him that Mr. Raymond had come to discuss the issue of cooperation with his company. If Mr. Raymond is not a very influential client, he does not want to establish this cooperation. Especially with the existence of strange conditions that Zidan must agree before signing the contract. Zidan had to agree to be his daughter's companion for her 24th birthday. Actually Zidan did not want to attend the event at all.

"Have Mr. Raymond wait in the meeting room. I'll be there in a minute" Zidan said. Aletta nodded and immediately informed Raymond.

"Young master. Would you like to agree to the terms put forward by Mr Raymond?" ask Fanny. He could clearly see the aura of anger within Zidan.

"If we don't agree to it, we'll lose Fan big. Maybe I'll take this step for the sake of this company" Zidan replied.

Zidan stood up and immediately stepped towards the meeting room. It's not really working hours anymore. It's getting night. I don't know what the wind is so that Mr. Raymond meets him outside of working hours like this.

Zidan entered the meeting room. He was only accompanied by Fanny, because Aletta had permission to go home first. Zidan sat himself down haughtily. He did not want to talk to the person in front of him.

"What's wrong?" ask Zidan flat. Mr. Raymond smiled broadly.

"What about the terms I proposed yesterday Zidan? I hope you can reconsider" said Mr. Raymond casually.

"alright. But I want us to sign the contract right now" Zidan replied. He stared intently at Mr. Raymond.

"No problem. Just so you keep your promise," said Mr. Raymond. He grinned towards Zidan.

"I Zidan will not break my promise. Mr. Raymond take it easy," Zidan replied with great emphasis. Sir Raymond smiled with satisfaction. They chatted for a moment about their cooperation. And the meeting ended with the signing of a contract.

After the meeting, Zidan's mood fell apart. He was really upset today. Along the way to the car his face was so cold and flat.

"Young master, do you want to go to the coffee shop again?" ask Fanny. Who knows if Zidan goes there his mood will improve.

"No need! Let's just go home, " said Zidan. Fanny nodded and drove her car to Zidan's apartment.

Arriving at the apartment, Zidan went straight to his room and cooled his mind in the bathroom. He stayed in the bath long enough. He doesn't even care about Fanny being in his apartment. What the man did he didn't care. Zidan just needs some calm right now.

"Zara.." muttered Zidan half-consciously. He still closed his eyes. Enjoy the smell of soap that can make him relax. I don't know why it was just that name that came to her mind. Not her mommy or anyone else.
