In a metropolis that never sleeps, there is a luxurious restaurant that is the center of attention. The restaurant is not only famous for its delicious food, but also for its handsome and wealthy owner, Arsenio. At the age of 35, Arsenio has become one of the successful entrepreneurs in the culinary field. However, even though his life looks perfect from the outside, there is one thing that still makes him feel lonely-he is a widower who lives alone after being left by his ex-wife several years ago.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the always crowded restaurant, a young waitress named Kiara is busy serving customers. Kiara, a beautiful but simple 25-year-old woman, has been working at the restaurant for the past two years. With determination and hard work, she tries to support herself after leaving her hometown. Kiara did not know that one day her life would change drastically when fate brought her together with the restaurant owner, Arsenio.
One bright afternoon, as the sun was starting to set, Kiara was tidying up the tables in the corner of the restaurant when she felt someone watching her. She turned her head and saw Arsenio sitting in the corner of the restaurant, watching her every move with a look that was hard to interpret. Kiara's heart beat a little faster than usual. She knew exactly who the man was-the owner of the restaurant where she worked, a man who was often the talk of the employees because of his good looks and extraordinary wealth.
Arsenio couldn't take his eyes off Kiara. There was something about the young woman that attracted him, something he hadn't felt in a long time. Maybe it was because of Kiara's simplicity that was so contrasting with the glamorous life he was used to. Or maybe it was because of the sincere smile that always radiated from Kiara's face even though her days were full of hard work.
Arsenio called the restaurant manager and whispered, "Can you call that waiter here? I want to talk to him."
Not long after, Kiara came carefully approaching Arsenio's table. "Good afternoon, sir. Can I help you?" Kiara asked politely, although nervousness was clearly visible in her eyes.
Arsenio stared at Kiara for a moment before answering, "It's not about the order, Kiara. I just want to talk. Can you sit down for a moment?"
Kiara was surprised to hear the request. No customer had ever asked for something like this before, let alone from a restaurant owner. However, she did not dare refuse.
"Okay, Mr. Arsenio," Kiara answered softly as she sat down on the chair across from him.
Arsenio smiled faintly. "Don't call me Sir, just Arsenio."
Kiara nodded, trying to calm the pounding in her chest. "Is there something you want to talk about, Sir... I mean, Arsenio?"
Arsenio looked at Kiara with a deep gaze, making her feel a little awkward. "Have you been working here for a long time?"
"Yes, almost two years," Kiara answered in a soft voice. "I am very grateful to be able to work here."
"I am also happy to have an employee like you. But to be honest, I am curious. Why did you choose to work as a waitress here? From the way you work, it seems like you can be more than just a waitress."
Kiara was silent for a moment, not knowing what to answer. She looked down, staring at her hands crossed in her lap. "Actually, this is the best job I could get right now. I need money for living expenses, and I don't have enough other skills yet."
