After sending the address to Kenji, Arlan went back to the living room. Fredrinn was still sitting there while drinking his tea.
"Fredrinn, I'm really sorry. I have an important appointment today so I can't stay here with you. I'll treat you to a meal next time." Arlan could only apologize to Fredrinn. After all, he didn't expect the representative of Mazda Motor to arrive so soon.
Fredrinn wasn't the least bit angry. He smiled kindly as he shook his head. "You don't have to worry about me, Mr. Roa. Your matters are more important. Do you want me to postpone the interview for these people?"
Arlan was relieved to hear his words. He then shook his head and replied. "There's no need to postpone the interview. Bring them here to the villa tomorrow. I'll find some time for this matter."
Fredrinn nodded his head. "Alright. I'll take care of this, Mr. Roa. You can rest assured."
"I know I can count on you! Haha! I'll take my leave first. Sofia, please entertain Fredrinn while I'm away." Arlan grinned upon hearing his words.
"Sure. I also have a lot of things to talk about with Mr. Vance anyway." Sofia smiled gently at him.
Arlan went to his walk-in closet and changed into a professional attire. He bid farewell to Fredrinn and Sofia before he left the villa.
After he left, Sofia turned her gaze to Fredrinn and asked. "Mr. Vance, can you tell me why Arlan is looking for people?"
Fredrinn stared at her in surprise. "You don't know?" He thought that Sofia knew what was going on since she was quite close to Arlan.
Sofia shook her head in embarrassment.
Fredrinn hesitated whether he should tell her or not, but after deliberating it deeply, he muttered. "Since you are close to Mr. Roa, I don't mind telling you this. He is planning to hire some workers to manage his villa. The Lake View Villa is huge and he couldn't manage the whole place by himself. Mr. Roa just purchased the villa recently so he didn't have the time to hire some people to work for him. He will interview these people tomorrow."
Sofia nodded her head in understanding. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she thought about something. "In that case, I will join the interview tomorrow." She muttered.
Fredrinn almost choked on his tea when he heard this.
Cough! Cough!
"You want to work for Mr. Roa? This..."

Meanwhile, Arlan was unaware that Sofia was planning to apply as his worker. At this moment, he was already outside the Royal Territory. He turned on the GPS and pinned the location of The Cafe Mediterranean, a famous restaurant in Taguig City. He chose this restaurant in his meeting with Kenji since it has a peaceful atmosphere.
Soon, he arrived at the restaurant at 11:15 A.M. He parked his car at the parking lot of the restaurant and texted Kenji that he had already arrived.
Arlan chose a spot on the second floor near the glass window. He could see the main road from here and also the people going in and out of the restaurant. Arlan ordered over twelve dishes since he wasn't sure what kind of food Kenji preferred. After placing his order, the only thing left for him to do was wait for Kenji to arrive.
Not long later, he felt the phone in his pocket vibrating. He grabbed it and saw that Kenji was calling him. "Hello, Mr. Hayashi!"
"Hi, Mr. Roa! I'm still on the way to the restaurant. I will be there within ten minutes." Kenji sounded rather nervous over the phone and Arlan sensed it right away.
"Alright. I've already ordered our food, Mr. Hayashi. Everything should be ready before your arrival. By the way, I'm on the second floor." Arlan was slightly amused that a person of high standing like Kenji would actually be nervous when speaking with him. He then realized that it was understandable since he was already the largest shareholder of Mazda Motor.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but recall his pitiful self when he was still working as a construction worker for Bakal Brothers Co. Until now, he still thought that everything was a dream. Who would have thought that a nobody like him would become a rich big boss?
Arlan sighed emotionally.
Soon, the food he ordered arrived. The delicious smell of the dishes made him smile expectantly.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in his forties entered the restaurant with an urgent look on his face. Two muscular bodyguards dressed in black tuxedos walked one step behind him.
The middle-aged man was Hayashi Kenji, the General Manager of Mazda Motor. He looked a bit nervous as he wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. He was looking at the personal information of Arlan while searching for him on the second floor. After a while, he noticed a young man sitting near the glass window, looking rather melancholic as he stared at the people outside. Seeing him, Kenji's eyes lit up. "Mr. Roa!" He called out.
Hm?
Hearing someone call his name, Arlan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with messy hair. He was dressed in brown business attire and was holding a leather briefcase in his right hand.
Arlan knew that Japanese people are very particular about their manners and etiquette. He stood up and smiled as he asked. "Are you, Mr. Hayashi Kenji?"
"Yes, it's me! It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Roa!" Kenji shook hands with Arlan as he bowed his head deeply.
Arlan didn't put on airs as he slightly lowered his head. "Likewise. Please take your seat."
"Yes! Yes!" Kenji knew that Arlan was young, but he was shocked when he saw him in person. He wondered how such a young man managed to become the majority shareholder of Mazda Motor.
"Let's eat first. We can discuss the transfer procedure later." Arlan wasn't in a hurry to complete the transfer process.
