"Laura, Miss Angelica wants to talk to you!"
"Jennifer's? Sure have".
"Good morning miss, Angelica", greet Laura respectfully as a beautiful blonde woman enters the room.
Renata stared unblinkingly at the young, beautiful and extremely glamorous woman as she passed by her. The fragrant expensive perfume immediately filled the room is quite spacious.
Laura was standing beside her grand chair that she had sat down on just a moment ago. And let his boss sit in that chair.
With a raised face, Angelica sat down, leaning her back while looking at the bookkeeping that was being done by Laura, her cafe manager.
While Renata was still standing sculpting with his head bowed in front of the work desk. While Laura and a woman named Jennifer who is none other than Angelica's assistant stand next to the desk.
As a moment of silence enveloped the room, no one dared to open their voices. Only the sheets of paper that were being read and back and forth by Angelica were heard.
"I'm checking the financial statements this month miss and giving all employees performance points. Actually this afternoon I also want to see you report everything" Laura said respectfully.
Angelica nodded her head and closed the book she saw. He also checked the Mac book in front of him.
The next minute he turned his attention to the corner of the room. And ended up on the figure of Renata standing in front of him.
"Who is he?"
Laura and Jenifer turned their heads together staring fixedly at Renata who looked pale with fingers interlocked.
Laura slightly glared her eyes, as if gesturing for Renata to come out of the room right now.
"Nobody miss, just waiters who have only been accepted for a few weeks to work at your cafe" replied Laura.
"Hm, I'm sorry... Excuse me", Renata's voice was barely heard. The girl slightly bowed her body saluting and was about to turn her body around.
"Wait...!"
Angelica's voice rang out clearly in the ears, stopping Renata who was about to leave the room. Instantly Renata stopped his intention and returned to his original position.
Angelica leaned her back fixedly and fully probed at Renata who looked increasingly deathly pale with her head bowed.
"Who's your name?"
Renata heard clearly the question, it seemed like the question was addressed to him. Renata ventured to look at her boss, a fashionable woman who showed her class very much in front of her subordinates.
"S-aya Renata miss".
With a sharp gaze Angelica watched Renata from top to bottom. "How old are you?"
"I am 25 years old, miss", replied Renata politely.
Angelica smiled her smile as she knocked on the glass table before her.
Like getting a breath of fresh air, Renata caught a glimpse of that smile even though it felt like a smile of victory after defeating the enemy alone. But for Renata it seems like this is when he can convey his purpose.
"Let's think Renata, how do you make your request? You only have a short time Rena. Get brave! This opportunity won't come twice, your mama's gonna have surgery soon"
Those motivational words swirled around in Renata's head. Keep going and keep going. Renata's body grew trembling, the girl braved herself staring at the all-powerful woman before her. Who was also looking at him sharply.
"Hm... M-Sorry miss, is s-aya b-isa talking to you? S-aya really needs your help, Miss Angelica".
I don't know where the courage Renata has. Suddenly those words came from his lips.
Angelica squinted both her eyes. As a tadpole, actually he was talking alone with the waiters who stood from earlier in front of him. But Renata's words just made Angelica shocked. "Request for help...?"
"What do you want to talk to me about? Say it right now!", said Angelica.
Renata glanced at Laura at a glance, seeing Laura nod her head slightly which means she agreed with what Renata would say to Angelica.
"I don't have long to wait for you, tell me!"
"Look Miss Angelica, I need money for my mama's heart surgery. The cost is very large nominal. I want to borrow the company money if miss agrees and I will guarantee my home certificate to miss. For the rest I will work hard with overtime until office hours close and please cut my salary, miss", said Renata pleaded.
Angelica seemed to be thinking while holding her chin with her hand.
"Well, what about your living expenses if your paycheck runs out to repay your debt?" asked Angelica.
"I'll think after that, miss, because right now only mama's recovery is the most important. It's just my mom that I have now" Renata said slowly. While the tears have grown in the corners of the blue eyes.
For a moment everything was silent, all that sounded was just a breath of Angelica.
A few minutes later...
"You're coming with me now...!"
