I'M (Not) A Spy

6. Help Quetly

Adrian greeted at the door. "Master, what exactly is going on? Why change from the original goal?" Damian, who had just arrived home, rolled up his white shirt, which this time was already a little brownish from the dust and heat of the sun.

"Actually, it's not different. Perhaps the people I met will be able to show you the way. I also see another world out there, outside of the world I live in." Damian looked straight ahead. The man recalled Grandma Pohan's innocent smile that exposed his toothless teeth, as well as the mysterious smile from Jihan. Damian frowned. Why should also remember that woman?

"Oh, so that woman is just a means?" asked Adrian. Damian did not deny, nor did he say yes.

"I didn't see the man you mentioned. What exactly happened? Is it certain that it was the man who caused the money from our company to come out without cause?" Damian tried to clarify again.

"Obviously, according to the results of the investigation...." A waiter came to give drinks and snacks to Damian and Adrian. The two nodded compactly. Silently, the maid let the two enjoy with her body movements. "As I reported. However, I suspect that the man is just a tool. There are two possibilities...." Adrian was silent for a moment, so Damian interrupted.

"Wait, tools? You mean... there is someone behind it?" Adrian nodded, confirming Damian's analysis.

"You could say if the man is just a victim of slander alone, or a victim of lure." Damian began to understand what Adrian said.

"If that's the case, then the real culprit is still free to roam our company?" Damian leaned in. The man allowed Adrian to drink the camomile tea that had been provided with his body movements. Likewise, with Damian raising the glass, sipping the drink.

"Well, that's what I'm afraid of, sir. Therefore, we must find that person as soon as possible." Damian closed his eyes. He flashed in his mind, one after another of the people he suspected. It doesn't make sense, however, because the person he suspects is mostly family.

Damian agreed with Adrian, he nodded. "We will find out as soon as possible. It seems, we have to suspect many people. Must not believe anyone." Adrian nodded. A waiter in a distinctive dress and apron in front, came over.

"Sir, the servant has prepared dinner for you please." Adrian invited Damian into the dining room, before the waiter said that the food was ready.

"Sir, go ahead... dinner is ready." A waiter who had just arrived in front of Damian and Adrian, told them that the food was ready.

"Well, Adrian. You accompany me to eat." Adrian was shocked to hear that. Only at a glance, however. He was behind Damian, accompanying him to the dining room, but Adrian only consisted, as usual beside Damian.

"Sit down!" ordered Damian.

"It's appropriate for me to stand here." Adrian in doubt, still standing by Damian. The man got up, pushing Adrian to sit down in the front seat of Damian's place.

The table was too big, because it was designed for families to gather. Therefore, between Demian and Adrian, there is a wide gap. "I don't want to eat like this. You're like avoiding me." Damian raised his hand, describing their very wide distance.

"I'm sorry." Adrian moved to get closer to Damian, but the man still felt that they were a long distance away.

"Come here again," Damian snapped. Adrian obeyed his boss's wishes. He was closer beside Damian.

"From tomorrow on, put a small table that is only for two to four people. This table is too big. Starting tomorrow morning, you accompany me to eat, if you are at home." Damian wanted something that Adrian didn't think was appropriate for him to do. "Ah, once a month, we will also have a meal with the servants."

"But, sir...." Damian sharpened his eyes, so that Adrian looked down.

"This is an order, Adrian." The man in the black formal suit, did not dare to look at Damian.

"Great, I can see you agree to it." Damian began to cut the meat.

"You know what lessons I learned today?" asked Damian. Adrian was a little surprised, this is out of the ordinary. Normally, Damian would be quiet when eating and talking when he was done. Normally, he followed the etiquette at the dinner table, not talking let alone unnecessary affairs. The etiquette of eating at the dinner table was taught from Damian's ancestors, that for noble families. Let alone make a sound, the clinking of spoons alone is not allowed.

"I met a girl," Adrian said.

"Girl?" Adrian repeated the words from Damian. Adrian still didn't understand, he didn't believe what Damian said. During this time, Damian was very anti to the creature whose name was a woman.

"To be more precise, she is a strange and unique woman." Demian chuckled with his own remarks.

"Unique woman?" Adrian repeated the words from Daniel.

"We ate together at the moor stall, you know the moor stall?" Damian thought that Adrian didn't know the moor stall.

"I know, sir, because papa often takes me to eat at the moor stall." Adrian felt uncomfortable because he had to eat at the same table with the boss. It was a violation of ethics.

Adrian wasn't sure if it was the moor stall in question, the dirty and shabby roadside stall where the common people obtained cheap food.

"Why is your face so?" asked Adrian.

"I... A little less sure that sir...." Adrian did not continue his sentence.

"I am sure, that the stall is what is meant by warung tegal or abbreviated as warteg. From the bearer stall, I also ate at the fruit-selling grandma's house." Adrian swallowed the meat hard. He grabbed the glass of water and downed it to dissolve the meat that was still stuck in the throat. Fortunately, it didn't choke.

"You know what that grandma said? Eating will be delicious if we share. I was fascinated by what said. He still shares, even though he doesn't even know what to eat tomorrow morning? However, he gave me and Jihan food." Adrian gaped.

"Master eats with old grandmas?" In fact, it was not a question but a shocked reaction from the man who had been Damian's assistant since ten years ago.

"You from just now repeating my words, aren't you bored?" Damian became a little annoyed with Adrian.

"It's not that way, sir. It was out of the ordinary sir. So I am...." Damian smiled. A rarely engraved smile, from the loss of his parents about a few years ago. Practically, the man became a heartless cold man.

"You're right, Adrian. This is the opposite of my habit. I just realized, it turns out that the world is so vast and fun. All this time, my world has only been a sprig of hand." Damian put down the fork and the dining knife, clasping his hands together the edge of the left pinky and the edge of the right pinky. "Not just fixated on the luxury I felt...." Damian again raised his knife and fork. He shook his head, pointing in the direction to describe the atmosphere of luxury in his home.

"At present, the food in front of us now, is worth hundreds of thousands if it is in a restaurant. From the best ingredients, but my tongue doesn't feel the pleasure of people eating. Another time this afternoon." Damian imagined, this afternoon he ate with gusto, even though he had eaten before, also ate only with a side dish of fried tempeh and chili sauce.

"Many times, over and over again even I just leave my food alone. While they were...." Imagine the wrinkled faces of Jihan and his younger siblings, as well as the wrinkled faces of Grandma Pohan. "They're starving." Adrian took a subtle breath at the sound of Damian full of empathy for someone.

The man still remembers, that Damian had his own nicknames of the employees. Damian's nickname given by the employees is the handsome ghost of the seven-door refrigerator. Because, the man is very anti who is with empathy and pity. In fact, repeatedly without hesitation fired its employees only because of mistakes that were actually unnecessary until it was fired.

"Ah, yes. I want you to help a girl." Damian finished his meal, even the garnish as well, pieces of tomato, celery and lettuce. Adrian gaped at the sight of Damian cleaning up the food on his plate without any residue.

"A girl?" Again Adrian repeated Damian's words with questions.

"Adrian stop keep repeating my words!" Damian was even more annoyed. However, the man was more lenient in warning Adrian than usual.

"I'm sorry what I can help please help this girl I will give you the address." Damian put down the fork and knife.

"You help as naturally as possible. He has a high self-esteem." Damian swept his mouth with a rag previously placed on his lap. "It's possible, if you help him directly, he won't want to." The servants took the dishes that were in front of Damian, because the man had already finished eating.

"Another one, it seems that he is wrapped around a loan shark. Find out the loan shark named Jupri and you know for yourself next?" Damian rose from his seat.

"Well, sir. I'll do it soon." Adrian also got up. He continued the task. However, he was warned by Damian.

"Spend your food first, this is an order, from now on it is your first task, is to finish the meal and accompany me to eat." Adrian was shocked and confused, Damian laughed seeing that his assistant suddenly became a dazed person.
