Riveria is driving the car at high speed, chasing the timing of meetings with investors from Singapore at the Rangga restaurant. Cafe Nostalgia is not just a place for young people to hang out for coffee or light snacks but the concept is like Fine dining which provides heavy meals such as pasta and steak. Wine choices are also different.
Today was supposed to be the first day of training at Delightful Insurance where Riveria applied as a freelance Financial advisor, so his work is part-time not tied to office hours there except Monday time for a full meeting with all management ranks.
Suddenly Rangga increased the hours of meeting with investors because they canceled coming in the afternoon because after a meeting in Jakarta the Investor made a business trip back in Hong Kong.
Rangga asked for his help to become his partner as F&B Consultant at his new restaurant just six months running. He could not divide his time between his main job at the hotel and taking care of his new business. Although Restaurant Fine dining at the hotel where Riveria and Rangga are on duty is closing due to management policies related to the decline in income caused by this covid19 pandemic, the, the position of Rangga as Sous chef is still needed by the hotel for the overall restaurant operational management.
Riveria who was in temporary residence by the hotel management welcomed Rangga's offer after a while ago Rangga made a personal approach to him. Special Romantic dinner as a starting point move on from the past. Earlier in the night, it was clear that Riveria asked Rangga to slowly start a close friendship because he was not ready for more than just friends for now.
Rangga's professional attitude and wise nature that makes Riveria accept Rangga's offer. He does not want to be awkward in his involvement in their projects later.
As F&B Consultant Riveria will discuss a lot with investors from Singapore, compiling budgets, restaurant concepts and so on to hiring employees. Cafe Nostalgia has been on the rise for six months and investors want significant changes in management, menu, and concept and human resources. Luckily the Nostalgia cafe was not too affected by the pandemic impact of covid19 . What is grateful for is being able to retain employees and provide jobs to others.

"Hi ! been Dateng long?" Riveria set her breath in a snarl, her eyes glanced at the clock in her hand at 10 p.m., her eyes surrounded the corner of Restaurant, why hasn't she thought? But he was grateful it wasn't too late. Yes with speeding driving skills and understanding of knowing the way of the rat road in Jakarta so as not to get stuck in traffic, he can arrive here on time..Riveria grinned and pulled out a chair then threw out her body immediately.
" You're speeding again?.."..Rangga asked with a probing face, "the danger of Riv.." he said worriedly. The tone of speech looks less like the action of racing Riveria.
" Don't calm down I'm an expert ..ehehe.." riveria tried to defend herself.
Rangga just shook his head and smiled flatly.
Triiit Triiit hape rings "Yes, Mr. Choi...Allright we already here.she brings her CV and reference as well as your request beforehand...ummh ..yes..see you soon" Rangga closed the conversation.
" They've landed and are on their way here...."
"I'm ready for it" Riveria replied confidently.
******
"Thank you for coming . We are glad this meeting running so well.." said Riveria smiled broadly and opened the restaurant door . Mr. Choi and his team retaliated with tight-handed positions and looked satisfied.
" Arrange our second meeting next week. I would like to know the rest of the programs and progress. Nice to work with you Riveria! " Mr Choi got into the car.
Rangga bowed slightly and smiled broadly at Mr. Choi.
"The Well Done Riv!'..... Rangga patted his arm slowly.
" Thank you Rangga.." he glanced at his watch.
Waduh has been 3 hours more ..the second training session is also almost over..free also return to the insurance office..must info as soon as possible to Bu Rahma nih .....

Duggg..... Riveria slammed into someone's chest when she opened the restaurant door. He was about to enter and the man happened to want to go out. Like being struck by thunder booming lightning that person is....Huh!
He immediately rose in blood and was confused.
" Uh....Jeez! ... why...arrgh" Riveria grimaced in pain as her face clashed rather violently with Wookie's chest.
" Why are you here!!!....why are you here!!!! " collapse it hard.
"Eh sorry....I really don't know...kok mbak is here anyway??!......" Wookie was no less surprised . Reflexively his hand touched Riveria's cheek, "A pain? ....."
" Don't hold it!!! "answered Riveria, annoyed and annoyed. He brushed off Wookie's hand. You Bawdy !
Three collided and today the second time hit the same man in front of him. What a bad sign, God....
"Why are you here...situ ngikutin me huh!!!"
" Wikutin....? uh...I'm a customer here ...."
" Ohh massaaak?!! it's not just a coincidence that you can visit here, right??? There are so many restaurants here why should you be here!!! " just reason Riveria's inflamed.
Wookie looked towards the other guests who were watching the two of them. Stare in wonder and whisper among them . He felt very embarrassed and corrected his attitude. " Mr don't be hard..I don't want others to think with me...ehhh why I follow mbak..... mbak don't know what profession?.....I don't have time for a job that's useless like mbak mbak ya.." he said slowly and sharply. His eyes looked at Riveria's eyes bitterly.
"OK!...but I really can't believe your words ! ...Look out step aside...I want to pass!! you're blocking my way !" Riveria pushes rough body strapping Wookie.
Wookie caught Riveria's hand and pulled her a little closer to him. " Sst... mbak ..I'm sorry ... don't go while angry so.." she held back patience.
" Ehh off!!! you are a pervert! don't play with me!!! I celebrate you!! "pulling her hand out of Wookie's.
Jesus ! This lady says I'm a pervert!!! Really am......Wookie kept his patience. He just thought that this was his chance to say "I want to speak well with mbak"
" What?! thanking?? Oh really crazy you! don't play me ! again I warned you! Please come out I don't want to deal with you anymore!! " Riveria snorted exasperatedly and looked Wookie in the eyes with her anger. He hurried away from Wookie and grumbled inwardly.
Siaall's...Siallll...already training is off ....why should I see that person again?? Sontoloyo pervert?! Why also in the cafe Nostalgia?? ....Just be careful.I will report to Ms. Rahma .....
