The Buyer Is King

Sunny's words sounded cold, especially when he mentioned a name that sounded familiar to everyone who heard it—Keanu. But they strongly assumed that the person Sunny called was not the same as they thought.

Sunny ended the call and turned to everyone and said briefly with a devilish smile, "Get ready, you guys,"

"Hello, sir. Please don't make us laugh with your arrogance. That's ridiculous, ha ha ha!" the outlet manager laughed, followed by the outlet employees and also several mall visitors who had been watching their commotion.

Five minutes later the manager's cell phone vibrated and the name on it made him stunned—CEO of Garendra Group. A cellphone number that he had never called or called before, considering that this person had a high position in the Garendra Group.

With shaking hands, the Manager picked up the call, "H-hello, Mr. CEO. What can I do for you? What time will you visit here?" he said haltingly.

[Where have you been, huh? I've been calling you since, you know?!]

The one who called him was Keanu, CEO of the famous Garendra Group.

[Why are you looking for trouble with people near you? Give my brother what he wants and close your boutique after that. I canceled the outlet visit at Garendra Mall, and in half an hour I will hold a meeting to discuss the performance of Avo Beauty And Fashion employees at the head office!]

The manager was flabbergasted after listening to what Keanu said on the other end of the call, his shaking hands even made his cell phone fall, "Impossible,"

"Quickly, give me what this sir wants," his words became more and more halting. His face grew paler looking at Sunny's devilish smile helplessly. But the saleswoman who insulted Sunny objected and protested.

"But, Boss. He just…"

"Do as I say right now and you guys, close the shop right now!" The manager didn't wait to interrupt his sentence and shouted at his employees until several store employees were confused about carrying out his orders.

A few moments later a paper bag containing the clothes Sunny wanted was handed over to the manager. His hands were still shaking to bring the paper bag to Sunny.

"Forgive me, Boss. I do not know you at all, please acknowledge our negligence in serving you."

Like a buffalo with its nose poked, the arrogant manager bowed before Sunny as he handed Sunny what he ordered.

"Why did you force me and end up regretting it?" Sunny commented while grabbing the Paper Bag in annoyance, "I don't have as much patience as my brother, so don't expect forgiveness from me!" he continued before leaving there.

Sunny, who had left with his appearance and arrogance, surprised everyone, including the Avo Beauty and Fashion employees who immediately approached and asked their manager.

"Who is he, boss? Why do you look afraid of him? He hasn't even paid for the dress yet. Those clothes, aren't they very expensive?" a protest came from one of the employees.

"Do I still dare to ask for money after insulting the Garendra Group CEO's brother?" Everyone widened their eyes and were shocked, "Close the booth and prepare to be fired. We all made a big mistake because we insulted the Director of Garendra Group." he continued, speaking weakly.

It turns out that it wasn't just Avo Beauty And Fashion that was temporarily closed, but all the outlets in the Garendra Group mall were also affected by Keanu's call. All managers responsible for outlets in the mall were summoned to attend a meeting at the head office.

"Boss, what happened? You're not seriously saying that the shabby-looking person just now is the director of Garendra Group, right?" Avo Beauty And Fashion's assistant manager also asked his boss about the excitement there.

"I'm also not sure that the man was the Director of the Garendra Group. But as we heard earlier, the man called someone named Keanu. Do you think I would just believe him if he called the CEO? Of course not!" The manager answered.

"Then why are you scared and your face is pale?" Being asked like that made the manager turn to his assistant.

"Just imagine when the CEO called you and said that I was looking for trouble with his brother. What will you do when you hear that directly from the CEO of Garendra Group? So I guess I'm not overthinking that guy is our Director, right?"

His assistant was flabbergasted. Without answering, he immediately started the engine of his car and went to the head office. However, his heart and reason were not yet fully balanced in accepting this frightening information.

"But as far as I know the CEO's older brother is a police chief. His name is Shine Garendra, right? However, there was one other man, Mr. Sean Garendra's son lived in America. Even if he is one of them, it is impossible to come to our mall with a trashy appearance. You probably recognized the wrong person, Boss!" The assistant tried to think positively.

"Ah, I don't know. I just want to immediately meet the CEO to clarify everything," the Manager sighed heavily. His thoughts were so complicated and he was anxiously waiting for the remaining time on the way to the head office.

On the other hand, after traveling for almost an hour, Sunny was finally able to sit relaxed in his luxurious and spacious workroom. That was the office of the CEO of Garendra Group—Keanu Garendra. So, what is the relationship between Sunny and the top officials of Indonesia's largest company?

There was a knock on the glass door of the room and a woman who was the CEO's secretary greeted, "Boss, the tea is ready,"

"Hmm, put it here and go. Arrange the meeting I told you about earlier!" Keanu gave orders and his secretary immediately complied.

However, when the secretary put down the cup of tea that her boss ordered, the secretary's eyes couldn't help but turn to her boss's guest. Sunny's appearance, which was far from neat and polite, made her frown, before finally leaving the room.

"Are you so busy living like a poor person that you don't remember coming home?" Keanu asked. The handsome man of mixed Indo-Italian blood still couldn't believe that his cousin had come home after six months of not wanting to come back.

"I need a little help from you," Sunny replied casually while sipping his tea, "Give me three hundred million rupiahs right now. I don't hold that much cash," he continued.

"What is the money for? After living with Grandma Martha for so long, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to build a house for her?" Keanu was heard sneering. He knows about Sunny's life undercover.

"Not to build Grandma Martha's house, I want to stuff the mouths of people who insult Grandma Martha and Qira."

One of Keanu's eyebrows drew upwards, "With who? Is there a fool who wouldn't spare his life by bothering you?" he asked curiously.

"Risdo Herlambang, supervisor of the project I am working on. He and his aunt insulted Grandma Martha and Qira because they both worked at his aunt's house, but I knew the insult was because of me. You know that your brother is very handsome, right?" While raising and lowering his eyebrows, Sunny smiled at Keanu.

"You crazy bastard. What do good looks have to do with humiliation? I think the cement mixture has frozen in your brain, Sunny." Keanu smiled irritably. Sunny's arrogance hasn't even changed.

"That's because Mr. Baron's daughter likes me, but the ugly Risdo doesn't like that. He's jealous because Clarista always pays attention to me and defends me," Sunny answered casually, "Actually, I don't think about small problems like this. But because he insulted grandma and Qira, I couldn't stay silent." he continued telling Risdo's insult to him.

Keanu listened to the story that Sunny explained with a faint smile, "Isn't three hundred million rupiahs too little to avenge your heartache? You can even buy the pride of Mr Baron's family if you get bored with them."

Instead of calming Sunny, Keanu supported and exacerbated Sunny's madness.

"Are you sure you just want to stuff that ugly man's mouth? Don't you want to avenge the insult he gave your helpful grandma? Come on, you're the great Black Sunny Garendra. Is this the only show you show me after not coming home for half a year?"

Sunny's lips curled upwards into a devilish smile, "Good idea! But since when have you been naughty, huh? I didn't teach you, yeah. I don't want little uncle or Aunt Cheery to complain to me." he answered happily.

"Ah, one more thing. This is about the meeting you have set for later. Please hide who I am. Just tell them not to look at other people only by their outer appearance. Everyone has self-esteem that should not be stepped on because of their appearance. Buying and selling only requires money and goods, not paying attention to appearance."
