Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 141: Assistant Manager

Bram parked his car. We both got off and went straight into the cafe. Our presence was welcomed by the manager and other employees.

The cafe was empty and there were no visitors there. All cafe employees and managers are gathered in a room. Bram included me for a meeting together.

"Okay, everyone is here. I went straight to the point because it was starting late afternoon. Immediately Mr. Manager explained what obstacles or satisfactory results in this month. Go ahead," Bram's getting serious.

"Okay, thank you, boss. For the moment the constraint does not exist. It's just that we're lacking updates in the coffee bean section. We should replace it with other coffee beans and add a new menu tailored to the tastes of young people in the present. Young girls began to look for a place where they prefer a coffee shop rather than a cafe. Coincidentally our cafe themed coffee but lacking menu and taste. As soon as the Boss reports from me," the Manager explains.

"OKAY. Do any of you know where we can get the best coffee beans?" ask Bram.

Everyone is silent and some are still thinking hard to get the answer. Maybe because the previous coffee is still considered ordinary and obtained from the results of its own area, so not so concerned about the taste problems. Because maybe a lot of people, coffee taste the same.

"Mandailing, Aceh, Kintamani, Toraja and Flores. That's where the best coffee in Indonesia is for now. This cafe can supply coffee from there, maybe from the nearest place first" I whispered to Bram.

Bram was shocked to hear my explanation. Maybe he did not think I could find out the best coffee places in Indonesia.

"Alright, later I will contact the center in Jakarta to deposit coffee to this cafe. The booking is taken care of directly from the center only and here only just take delivery. Now I want to appoint one employee for the latest task, which is to check the materials, check the cleanliness of the cafe and the order of employees. It could be said this position is as an assistant manager," said Bram while walking toward some employees.

Bram pointed at three people randomly and separated them near the entrance. Everyone in the room was astonished by Bram's sudden words and actions. Plus, Bram chose only in a random way without seeing their skills and experience while working in this cafe.

"Well, now please take the paper and cut into small pieces. Each of you, write down the name of who among the three people who are in front to be trusted to carry out the task," Bram ordered.

One of the employees immediately provided the paper and cut it according to Bram's instructions. After they get a piece of paper, then they write down who deserves to serve as assistant manager.

Not long after, all the papers were collected and the calculation of the votes began. All eyes were focused with paper opened and read by Bram one by one.

After collecting the results, finally who won this latest position is Sister Sarah. It looks Mbk Sarah was shocked mixed happy when her name was called. All those present applauded and congratulated him.

"Okay, we've got a new assistant manager. Hopefully it can carry out its duties well, under the direction and input of the Manager directly. I want everyone to work together well and solidly" said Bram.

"Sorry boss, if I may ask. When the boss is not there, who will monitor the development of this cafe?" ask the Manager.

Bram smiled and looked at me. I was shocked and began to guess where Bram's gaze was.

Nah!

"Okay, please everyone hear what I'm saying. The one who has the right to monitor this cafe is Miss Zanu. So, the Manager and Assistant Manager should listen to whatever he says. Including all the employees here without exception," Bram spoke while looking at me, as if to convey, I had to agree to it.

Oh my God, what else is this? Why did Bram decide? How could I possibly carry out two tasks at once? Cafe and Bram's factory.

"Okay, today's meeting I got here. Remember that! All control in this cafe is my authority to hand over to Non Zanu. He also has the right to fire you if there is any mistake he finds. Excuse me and hopefully this cafe will grow rapidly when I am not here anymore" Bram spoke without answering Zanu's remarks. He hastily finished the meeting without waiting for a response from anyone.

What happened to Bram?

**********

Bram pulled my hand out of the meeting room, while the others were still inside whispering.

I tried to let go of Bram's hand, but it didn't come off.

"Let go! Sick tau!" i'm yelling.

Bram let go of my hand and waited for my next response. The manager hurriedly came out when he heard my screaming voice.

"Boss, don't you have a drink before the boss gets home?" ask Manager. He looked at me who was enduring the pain in my wrist.

"No! I need to get home soon. Please sir pay attention to the performance of the employees here again, I do not want to hear any complaints,"

"Each Boss. Goodbye, good luck to the destination," the manager shook Bram's hand.

"Excuse me," Bram stepped out of the cafe into the car park on a leisurely basis. I don't want to follow Bram from behind. Seen the face of the manager who was dumbfounded, I don't know what was in his mind.

I sat in the car with my mouth pouting and would not look at Bram. Bram remained silent as long as he drove.

The day has shown at six in the afternoon, soon magrib. Bram's car went inside the gate to his house.

Yup! It's minute by minute that Bram and I are going our separate ways. But why this breakup should end with a fight. Was Bram intentional or was there some reason, why I was appointed to participate in arranging his cafe? Just like he also pointed me at the bakery.

The car stopped right in the front yard. And again, Bram has not yet spoken. He got out of the car, walked alone to the main door of his house without me.

Why is Bram acting like that? Was he angry at me for yelling at the cafe? Or does he want to say something?

Uh! Wrong him himself, why would he want to point me as this is it, but not discussion first. Naturally I was angry and rejected it. Care very much if that is it! I'm in the car until she picks me up here.

Zanu, Bram is leaving soon.
