After twenty minutes, the appetizer finally arrived, it was just like a chocolate cushion, it was very small and served to increase appetite only. The waitress this time was very friendly, she was a young woman, maybe Aslan's age or a little older."Here's our complimentary lemon water, you can drink it while waiting for the main course to arrive, I'll serve you," the waitress said with a sweet smile, as if she'd been waiting for that moment for a long time."Thank you, have you been a waiter here for long?" Aslan asked."Not really, sir, I've only been here a few months, I'm an apprentice waitress, I'm happy to be working here, even if it's just doing menial work, tonight I've been given the opportunity to serve you, so I'll do a good job so you won't be disappointed."Aslan chuckled at the servant's enthusiasm, he had already guessed that the servant was not a permanent servant. But her smile made Aslan's irritation lessen. She was much better than the previous receptionist and mana
"Gideon, what have you done to young master Kendrik?" the old man shouted."Father, he's just an imposter! Look at his appearance, he doesn't resemble the picture of young master Kendrik on the internet! He's also bring all those vouchers, so -" the manager's words were cut short as the old man had already punched him, knocking him backwards."When did I ever teach you to judge people by their looks? He is indeed the young master Kendrik we've been waiting for! I let you handle this because I wanted to trust you, but now I'm convinced I can't trust you anymore.""But father!""Leave us, now!"The manager was forced to leave with a bad look on his face.Then the old man approached Aslan, "Son, please forgive my son, will you? Please reconsider your decision to invest."Aslan smiled, "My mind is made up, I'll wait for your restaurant to be repaired. I'm just a young man full of emotions, your son is not suitable to work here, and some of the waiters keep disappointing me, the only good
Kevin cleared his throat for a moment, then leaned his back on the sofa, Kevin sat under the sofa, so he didn't look Aslan in the face at all."Listen, my family owns a real estate business, there's an apartment building that was just built. Would you like to buy a unit? There are units ranging from five million dollars to fifteen million dollars, if you're interested-""It's really rare for you to offer an apartment like that, I'm not interested."Kevin turned around and looked at Aslan with a pleading face, "please?"Aslan furrowed his brow in confusion, "what's wrong?"Kevin sighed resignedly, "My cousin and I have a bet, whoever can sell the apartment at the highest price will be the winner, after all it's better for you to have an asset like a building, because the price can increase rapidly in the next few years, especially since this is Batavia, the price of land and buildings is getting more and more expensive! You can also rent out the apartment, so you'll have an income from
At first Aslan was confused, how could he distribute umbrellas to people, while no one dared to go out because it was raining heavily.Then he saw a student who was afraid to leave his dormitory.Aslan approached him and offered him an umbrella, he felt very grateful, because he didn't have an umbrella and didn't know that it would rain heavily in the morning. Aslan also distributed the umbrella to his friends who had similar problems.Now that three umbrellas had been distributed, it wasn't easy.Aslan didn't know what to do anymore, so he just walked around, enjoying the rain that hadn't come for a long time. The last few months have been very hot because it rarely rains, even last month it didn't rain at all.There are only two seasons in tropical countries, if it's not dry, it's rainy. But in recent years the weather has become more erratic.Aslan stopped when he realized he had walked too far. He had reached the place where the less fortunate people were taking shelter in the ove
Aslan loves studying, but that doesn't mean he can't get stressed when he study too much. He and Debby try to re-learn what the teacher has explained. If the explanation is lacking, Aslan and Debby are used to looking for other explanations from the internet.There are many websites or apps that help students now, such as learning apps managed by professional teachers.Learning new things is very fun, knowing new knowledge that has not been known before also feels very challenging, or at least for Aslan it is like that.However, Aslan couldn't focus on learning amidst the commotion of the children in the classroom. Some were running here and there, some were noisily chatting, some were busy showing off branded goods. What stressed Aslan out even more was that they didn't seem to care about the lessons at all, with the graduation exams coming up soon.Even Devon and David were busy replacing the new student council, they were ready to remove their positions.Even the kids in the dormit
Kevin's cousin was already in college, about 19 years old and his name was Stevan. That was all Aslan knew about him, because he had been a senior in high school, before he graduated.Stevan was a lot different from Kevin, he talked a lot, he never took school seriously, he messed around more than he studied. Sort of like Kyle but much worse, because Stevan had once made his girlfriend die. Aslan doesn't really remember because it was a long time ago, but Stevan's girlfriend killed herself because Stevan wouldn't take responsibility after she got pregnant.Of course Stevan was innocent and got out of jail, because he had a lot of money.That's how sad the law is there, those with money rule.Although Aslan had nothing to do with Stevan or his suicidal girlfriend, seeing Stevan up close made Aslan feel resentful. How could someone like Stevan still live in peace."Look who's here, why did you bring your little friend here? He's that orphanage kid, isn't he?" Stevan said, in a dismissiv
Aslan was lucky because at the age of 18 he could buy anything in his own name, without needing approval from a parent or guardian. So, he could easily buy an apartment. He also made a deal with a young married couple to rent a house for one year first.Of course, renting an apartment is much cheaper than buying outright, so with that in mind, the couple chose to rent first before buying.By helping the couple, Aslan got his money back in full.Now the money in the bank account balance is full again even though Aslan has already spent it to buy the apartment.It was like being given a free apartment by the system. Aslan felt very lucky at the time, so he ordered a lot of pizzas to share with his friends in the dormitory."You've spent a lot of money, are you sure you want to pay for all this? Let me pay for it," Kevin said as they were about to pay for their pizza order.Aslan declined the offer, "No problem, let me do it, don't worry about my money."Even though Aslan had said that,
"Aslan! Why are you here, what if Alonso sees you?" a woman who was the caretaker mother at the orphanage came over to Aslan, who was still surrounded by children.Aslan turned and smiled at Diana, the woman who had asked Aslan earlier, "take it easy, Alonso is away taking care of something, by the way, why are the children crying? Didn't you get any food?" Aslan asked worriedly.Diana smiled, then turned to the middle-aged woman who had just arrived with a large container of fried rice to share with everyone."No Aslan, we still have food, the children are crying because we are very sad," Diana said, she also looked very sad at that moment. It was like there was something she couldn't get out of her mouth.Then Aslan turned to the woman in charge of the kitchen, a middle-aged woman who was carrying a large container of fried rice. Now Kevin was helping her place the large container on the table.The middle-aged woman smiled at Aslan, a smile that seemed to harbor sadness."What's goi
