Princess Renjana

Eighteen

"i heard you hired a new guy at Renjana Resto." Jefry said in the middle of the dinner atmosphere, making all eyes look questionably at Renjana.

"Yes. I'll send Gerald to take care of the newly opened branch, so inevitably I have to fill Gerald's position with new people" Renjana replied, hiding the real facts.

"Oh yeah, you know where you're from, brother?" ask Renjana to Jefry.

"You forgot, who's your brother?" reply Jefry, make Renjana nod understandingly.

"You're sure you made him Gerald's replacement right away? Is that harmless? Come, Princess. He's a new guy, and you give him confidence so easily?"

Renjana breathes heavily. To be honest, answering her brother's question was a little heavy. The one who asked was Jeffrey. In addition to often spoiled on his eldest brother, Renjana was also afraid of the man's anger.

"Come, Jef! Let your sister make a decision, she must know that she can tell which is good and which is bad. Moreover, this is the matter of the restaurant, we do not need to interfere too much. Give him freedom." Advice from Bagas finally saved Renjana from the death question of his brother.

"Ah, Papi's right Brother Jef. Besides, our Princess is all grown up, isn't she?" Jendra also defended, because he felt that Jefry seemed to corner Renjana. He was certainly as worried as Jefry was, but he had other ways of investigating who the man was. Renjana who made a decision without saying it to them first obviously already feels awkward. He was sure that there was something his youngest brother was hiding. But if you ask blatantly like Jefry did, surely Renjana will not confess.

"You guys, eat! It's not good to talk about business matters while eating!" Elena's words were finally able to melt the atmosphere. And Renjana increasingly felt saved.

Before this, every decision must be he always negotiates with his family. But this time, he did nothing similar, and ended up making his family suspicious.

After dinner, Renjana went straight to her room. He avoided gathering in the living room, afraid they would talk back about someone he would ask to replace Gerald at his restaurant.

Renjana's phone shook, a message from Revi's doctor was plastered on her screen.

Doctor Revi

Operation went well. Bu Arumi's body response is also good for new kidneys. All are safe under control

Renjana exhales in relief. Good thing, his efforts to help Ms. Arumi was not in vain. If there is free time, Renjana will try to go secretly to see Ms. Arumi directly to congratulate her.

Renjana was lying on her back, her eyes staring up at the ceiling. Bu Arumi's smile suddenly flashed back in her mind. Why does he feel so familiar?

Gerald said he'll see his girlfriend tomorrow. Hopefully, Gerald managed to ask the councilman to give him one trusted spy.

...***...

A week has passed, today Renjana got word from Gerald that a man came to meet him at the Restaurant and claimed to be the man whom Renjana trusted to replace him. Because of that, this is where Renjana is now, standing in front of the door of Gerald's closed room.

Tapping a few times, the girl opened it and went straight inside. He could see, a man sat opposite Gerald, and turned his back to the door. The man turned around when he heard the sound of footsteps, and immediately stood up and lowered his head many times towards Renjana as a greeting of respect.

"For Mr. Gumilar. Oh, yep! There's no need to go that way, Mr. Gumilar. Don't you see, Gerald's sitting in his place?"

Gerald chuckled softly at Renjana's words, while Gumilar smiled clumsyly. He felt that there was nothing excessive about what he had just done. Renjana deserves such respect from him, so which part is wrong?

"You know Renjana, I was thinking, where did you get a robot? For the size of a human, he was too stiff. In fact, he did the same thing to me." Gerald said while laughing, and received a surprise reception from Renjana.

"Are you saluting Gerald like that?" ask Renjana. Gumilar nodded stiffly, making Renjana shake her head slowly. "Listen, Mr. Gumilar. You don't have to be so formal. I don't like a stiff work atmosphere, because it will create awkwardness. So, try to relax. Youunderstand?"

Gumilar nodded slowly, though did not promise to be relaxed. He's used to it like this. Standing before two people whose social strata were higher than him made Gumilar awkward. Moreover, they were his superiors.

Renjana took a seat next to Gumilar's chair earlier. While Gumilar, remain faithfully standing. It feels very awkward, if you have to sit side by side with Renjana.

"Sir Gumilar, sit down! There are still many things that we will discuss, and your feet will definitely tingle if they remain standing until the discussion is over." Renjana exhaled violently, noticing Gumilar who was never sitting in his chair.

"Ah..well, Mom!" Clumsily, Gumilar sat back in his place. While Gerald who saw this, shook his head slowly. Jeez, surely Renjana will quickly feel bored working with this stiff man later.

"Have you signed a contract?" asked Renjana, and answered Gumilar with a headband.

"I was deliberately waiting for you first, so that he signed his contract with you to witness" Gerald said. Renjana nodded in understanding.

"This is his contract!" Gerald handed a map to Gumilar, and was greeted by the man. Reading the rows of sentences inside, Gumilar then took out a pen and without hesitation affixed his signature there.

"Are you sure you've read all his contracts? You can ask for consideration if there's anything that doesn't go your way there!" Renjana.

Gumilar shook his head and gave a thin smile to Renjana. "Nobody harmed me there. I'm sure, Ibu Renjana is unlikely to take advantage of an ordinary man like me. Right, right?" Gumilar's question was immediately embraced by Gerald. He agreed with the man. In fact, Gerald thought Gumilar was the most benefited.

"Good then!"

"Gerald, you please teach me your work here. And Mr. Gumilar, you don't have to be in this restaurant every time because you have other activities. So I understand that. At least, a day you can spend three hours controlling this restaurant."

"Good, Mom!"

"Ready, boss!"

Gumilar and Gerald replied simultaneously.

"Gerald, after this you'll soon be coming to my room. There's something I'm gonna talk to you about. Before that, give him some files to study," Renjana said before saying goodbye to get out of the room.
