‘Why do I feel bad like this? It's as if someone wants to take my money!’ batin Ken while rubbing the back of his neck slowly.

...| (❁❁) |...

“Actually what that jerk Kim did to my business! How can a fool be accepted in my business empire!” exclaiming Ken frustrated, lost already the graceful dignity that he brought earlier.

‘Ah, I forgot she is only 18 years old if calculated from the achievements that successfully acquired the trade within the next 7 years and 4 years enjoyed her golden period.After that I do not know it anymore, I did not know it, since I am dead, my Inner’ sees her screaming in frustration.

Although Ken is 1 year older than me but my age can be calculated from my first life who died at the age of 28 years and calculated by my arrival here which can be calculated only 1 day. I'm 10 years older than him, right?

“Hoi! You mean that fool I hah?!” exclaim the manager's head while pointing a finger at Ken and then at himself.

“It seems like the word stupid really fits you, the head manager,” said Eva while giving a smile a smirking grin.

“What did you say?! I'm the head manager of this cafe! How dare you!” shouted the manager's head with a red face in anger.

‘OK, fix! The head manager of my cafe is a fool, my inner’ stares flatly at him.

‘Tu-wait, if this head manager is a fool then I who managed to be blackmailed by him means more stupid than him right?’ my mind then looked at the horror of the manager's head then looked at my own slowly shaking hands.

Eva who saw Zen was glued palely staring at the floor below him immediately approached and asked if he was okay.

“Zen, are you okay?” asked Eva worriedly.

“I ... it's okay,” replied Zen who was still pale.

‘My physicality is fine but I was mentally shaken knowing that I was more stupid than the head manager of the cafe,’ inner Zen while smiling sadly.

‘Taste I want to cry alone,’ continued his inner self.

While Eva who saw the pale look on Zen's face felt deep sympathy and slowly patted his shoulder softly without saying a word.

‘It is unfortunate that the fate of Zen should get the unkind behavior of the head of the bastard manager,’ the inner Eva and pat Zen's shoulder longer as if giving strength.

Fine, let's ignore the misunderstandings of the two of them and move on towards the original boss with the abal-abal boss who is still arguing.

“Well, Kim's brain must have been burned for letting a stupid bastard like you in!” said Ken who is still loyal to curse people with the name Kim.

“Actually who are you?! How dare you call me a fool! You know I'm the head manager of a branch cafe that's in the Aenass Company!” he cried with pride.

Ken who heard the name of his company called staring at the wonder and confused to the person who became the head of his manager.

‘She's really stupid or she's a mentally retarded person? Obviously he knows my company name and I just introduced myself what brain can not think if the company name mentioned is the same as my surname???’ batin Ken clenched his hand holding back from killing this person before him.

“I don't know what food Kim has just eaten lately to the point that he's included a mentally retarded person inside my company. I know he was never interested in doing business like this but..” Ken's speech was interrupted because he first let out a tired sigh and held his throbbing dizzy head.

Let's pray for Ken's mental health to survive this ordeal.

Eva, who was looking at her stupid behavior, couldn't stand it anymore, stepped closer and pointed her index finger at the manager's head and said, saying,

“You're stupid or what the hell? Obviously the name of the man was Ken Aenass, AENASS! You hear that? The name is the same as the name of the company you just mentioned! AENASS COMPANY! That means this person is your superior! Or even he could just be your boss!” said Eva with excitement.

Zen who had already regained his senses from the lament of his fate secretly brandished his thumb towards Eva who was cursing at the manager's head vigorously.

‘Nice, sister Eva! Keep following him until that stupid head manager feels so bad!’ inner Zen exclaimed in spirit before freezing and holding onto his chest.

‘Sial, for some reason if I call the head manager that with a stupid word, like there is an invisible object that pierces my chest,’ inner Zen smiled incisively.

Ken who heard Eva's curse looked at him with sparkling eyes, he immediately stepped his foot closer to Eva making the curse that was still thrown in Eva's mouth stopped.

“You, what's your name?” ask Ken with enthusiasm.

“Ah, forgive me, my name is Eva Osbenre, the waiter at this cafe. Sorry for forgetting the presence of the boss and not greeting him properly,” Eva said while bowing respectfully.

Ken who heard it widened his smile and shook his hands lightly.

“No, it's okay, I forgive you. By the way what was your last graduate?” tanyakanya.

Eva pensively pensively before answering him in a slightly understated voice.

“It ... My last graduate was junior high school,” Eva said with a scared head down.

How not, Aenass company is more concerned with the level of education for its employee criteria. And now he's being questioned by his superiors about his last graduate school.

How is he not afraid? Moreover, he had just cursed at the person in front of his own superior?!

‘My education is bad, my bad nature has just been seen directly by my superiors, am I going to be fired? Is this my last day at work? Eva's inner ‘ is cut off when she feels a hand gently patting her shoulder, then turns her gaze towards the owner of the hand, Ken.

You can see that Ken's expression right now is a mixture of pleasure and pride. Ken continued to pat Eva's shoulders with a smile on his face and the effect of flowers scattered around him.

“Good, good, I love your cleverness!” he then stopped patting the shoulder of Eva who was looking at him confused but ignored.

‘Good, at least the first high school graduate person is better than the S2 graduate person,’ inner Ken without removing the smile.

‘It makes me remember back if we can't judge people by the cover alone! The proof is that people with S2 graduate titles are more stupid than people who graduate from junior high school.’ Inner continue.

‘And I came here to check why the income of this branch cafe is lower than others, apparently because there are fools who raise fools into my business empire!’ his mind then curses back to the person named Kim.

With his head still throbbing dizzy, Ken stepped his feet toward the seat of the manager's head that was still petrified in his place while staring palely at Ken.

Ken crossed his legs and supported his head with both hands resting on his lap and a smile rose from his lips.

“Alright, it seems like my introduction is less clear, then I will explain it once again. I hope you put your ears on well so that I don't have to repeat my words,” said Ken with his business aura indicating that he was serious.

With a graceful gesture he fixed the location of his gold-framed glasses. The smile on his face did not fade in the slightest it only grew brighter.

“My name is Ken Aenass, leader of Aenass Company group and that is all you need to know,” he said which makes the atmosphere stagnant.

“And for you, head manager. Congratulations you get a gift in the form of dismissal directly from your boss. Ye know? It's very difficult for a person like me to come directly to the scene just to check if there's a problem. As you can see I have too many company branches to take care of and do not have much time to take care of cafe branches like this,” he said while grunting quietly.

‘Sial if not for Kim maybe I would never have come to this place,’ Inner Ken is upset.

“Ma-forgive me Boss! I don't know if you are my boss. Please don't fire me!” exclaimed the head manager loudly but still ignored by Ken.

‘Sial, why can he scream that loud? If Kim was here already it was certain he would be instantly killed,’ Ken's inner self looked at the manager's head in annoyance.

Immediately he took out the phone from behind his pants pocket and pressed several digits in his cellphone.

“You immediately scrape the head manager and drag the former head manager out without giving him a penny severance! He's already hurt my business so much.”

“Good young master, please wait a minute.”

Not long after the door was knocked three times and a middle-aged man sounded around the age of 50 years (?)

“Young master, it's me.”

“Ah, Jinn. Login!” exclaim Ken.

Then the door opened featuring a middle-aged man with gray hair who was already covered in several strands of white hair. His sharp black eyes made Zen guess he was a murderer.

The man was wearing a butler suit complete even with a pocket watch in his pants pocket.

‘Ken called the middle-aged man Jin? If I don't mistakenly remember him being Jin Volgt, the butler who took care of Ken from the baby until now and served as his personal butler,’ Inner Zen looked at the middle-aged man before him faintly.

‘If I don't mistakenly remember any narration mentioning about him in the book, ’ inner Zen while trying to remember the narrative.

[Jin Volgt is the name given by the former head of the Aenass family (Ayah Ken). Originally he was only a 14-year-old slave who was sold in the slave trade and bought by the head of the Aenass family because he saw the potential that was in it.

After that he is appointed as the personal butler of the Aenass family while training him to be a reliable assassin/assassin and has a vow of loyalty to keep the entire Aenass family with his life. He is also the one who took care of Ken and his twin brother from infancy until now.

After the previous head of the Aenass family died (Killed by the enemy) he continued to devote himself faithfully to Ken Aenass who served as the head of the family at the age of 13 years.]

Zen's eyes widened in shock but it was only a few seconds before returning with his trademark poker face.

It's a pity that Zen's daydreams had to be cut off when he heard Ken's voice giving instructions to Jin.

“Jin, pull the person or if necessary drag him out. Oh don't forget to give him a little lesson because it has made my money go to waste,” said Ken while pointing a finger at the head of the manager.

“Young master,” said Jin looked down respectfully then subconsciously looked at Zen who was behind Eva to try to hide his presence.

‘The young man had the smell of blood,’ Inner Jin stared intently at Zen.

Zen who realized that someone was looking at him immediately turned his head towards the person who saw him. The two black-colored netra looked at each other for a while before Jin caused a friendly smile on his face that made Zen look away.

‘Interesting young man,’ Inner Jin then brings (dragging) the head manager who is still begging for mercy out.

‘Sial, scary old man, why can Ken survive facing him?’ inner Zen while shuddering in horror.

“Hahh, good thing Jin came with me. If it will not be complicated once the business,” said Ken leaned his back on the chair and sighed.

Then Ken's eyes glanced faintly at Eva and the boy behind her.

“Do you guys still have any business here?” asked Ken with one eyebrow raised.

Eva who heard him gasped for a while while staring doubtfully at Zen. Zen who realized his gaze was only holding slowly Eva's hand while staring with a gaze that said not to worry. Eva who saw him heaved a sigh of relief.

“It ... I want to ask for my salary for this month,” said Zen standing 3 steps ahead of Eva.

“Gaji? It's not the end of the month, is it?” ken asked confusedly.

‘Good Zen is the time you pretend to be an ordinary child, remember ordinary and innocent!’ inner Zen exclaimed in encouragement.

“Sa-I just got fired by the head manager, so I came here to take my monthly salary,” Zen said, showing me the envelope in his hand containing money.

“Then?” ask Ken who still doesn't understand.

Not exactly Ken wondered why Jin, his personal butler, stared at this young man for a few seconds.

‘Although cryptic, I still see it. But why is Jin looking at her? Is there anything interesting about him?’ inner Ken wondered.

Congratulations Zen, your intention to be an ordinary child who innocently failed, let us pause for a moment for Zen's failure.

Instead of answering Zen turned faintly towards Eva who was behind him. As if understanding, Eva walked over and patted Zen's shoulder gently.

“I will wait outside, you take care of your business,” Eva said then walked out leaving two people in the room.

“The money given by the former head manager there is only 700 thousand, should the salary of the waiter here is 1 million 400 hundred thousand. I am here to ask for the lack of money,” said Zen while shaking the soft envelope containing money in his hand.

“Ah, like that. I only need to give 700 thousand more right?” ask Ken.

“Iya, sir,” said Zen nervously.

‘Good Zen, continue your acting this,’ Inner Zen with the cry of spirit.

Ken who noticed the young man in front of him nervously immediately took out 7 pieces of 100 thousand and gave it directly to Zen.

“This, take it,” said Ken while thrusting his money which Zen immediately received nervously at the same time happy.

“Te-thank you sir,” exclaim Zen while bending 90 degrees.

“No need to thank me, after all it is your right from the beginning. Oh, do other employees also often experience this?” ask Ken while evaluating the results of the work done by the person he just fired.

“That is, most employees who can not defend themselves who often experience this, if you ask the number I can not tell you for sure,” said Zen who made Ken nodded slowly.

‘Sial, next time I won't let Kim touch my business work again!’ inner Ken grimaced at the money that was about to go.

“Is this the first time it happened to you?”

“No sir, sa-I have experienced it more than once,” Zen said with his head bowed.

‘Does he want to break through the money that the former head manager often deducts?’ inner Zen wondered.

Ken who heard it could only sigh resignedly to let his money go.

“How much?” ken asked, looking at Zen.

“A-what?” zen asked confusedly.

“How much money has that fool taken to you?” ask Ken again.

‘Sial, how do I know?! I've forgotten it since the earth experienced the apocalypse! And again my memory of my first life had long since faded away because I was confined to that black room. So how do I know what the total amount is?!’ inner Zen shouted in frustration.

Zen who had been looking down immediately raised his face and looked at Ken with an innocent smile on his face.

“It is not required sir. After all, it's been a long time, I've forgotten it. If you want to return the money better return the money to other employees. It was no good for me anyway I was fired,” said Zen with an innocent smile still attached to his face.

‘Please, please please believe this silly reason!” Inner Zen while praying that his silly words be trusted.

While Ken who listened to Zen's reasoning could only stare at Zen elaborately.

‘Is this young man too stupid or too good?’ inner Ken wondered.

“Hahhh, well because you don't want it I'm not pushy, but I want to ask you one thing,” said Ken who immediately agreed to Zen's reasoning.

‘Di-he believes?! Thankfully,’ Inner Zen secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Because the young man didn't want it, yasudah. At least my money will not decrease,’ Inner Ken while sighing in relief because the money does not need to decrease.

“A-what is it?”

“Do you want to work back here?” ask Ken directly to the point.

“Huhhh?”

‘Tu-wait, have I been invited by him again to return to work???’ zen is full of question marks.

“Yeah, I offered you back to work as a waitress at this cafe,” said Ken as if he understood the meaning of the expression Zen gave.

‘Lho, you know, but I do want to be fired,’ inner Zen with an expression as if to cry.

‘For what do I work if 6 more days will happen?’ inner continued.

Ken who saw Zen wanted to cry thought that he was very moved by being offered a job back.

‘Is that happy that she wants to cry like that?’ inner Ken was confused.

“It does not need sir, after all I should have been fired because it was my fault, but thank you for offering me back to work but my answer remains the same, I will not return,” said Zen as he shook his head slowly and wiped the corner of his watery eyes.

‘Huhhh, really a very good as well as stupid young man,’ Inner Ken sighed blatantly.

“Alright if it is your decision,” said Ken who made Zen smile brightly.

“Thank you sir, I pray that your business runs better, especially this food business, I can personally say if the food business will be very profitable for you!” Exclaimed Zen with an excited tone.

‘Of course, it will be very profitable. Food is a very profitable business to do during the apocalypse,’ Inner Zen involuntarily smiled even brighter.

“So, thank you for your suggestion. By the way what's your name?” say and ask Ken after a moment of silence with a faint smile on his face.

“Thank you again sir, and my name is Zen, Zen Westerlock.”
