Chapter 4

This afternoon at the PT Sanjaya Sawit office.

“I was helped by a friend yesterday, Sir,” Grace revealed.

Bobby replied, “Alright. Tell your friend that I need his help.”

Several people in the office claimed that their phones and social media accounts had been hacked. Some of them also reported losing money, even amounting to tens of millions of rupiahs. There were signs that the company itself would soon be affected.

Before anything untoward could happen, Bobby was already taking preemptive measures.

“Alright, I’ll try talking to my friend again, Director,” Grace concluded, before returning to her work.

That evening after work, Grace called Stefan, asking if he could give her an offline ride home without using the app. Arriving in front of the PT Sanjaya Sawit office, Stefan was stunned. This was his father-in-law’s company.

This was a golden opportunity. He figured that once he got home from driving tonight, he would tell his father-in-law that he could help solve the issues facing the employees. If Stefan could lend a hand, he would stand a strong chance of being hired at this office.

“Have you been waiting long?” asked Grace, who had just stepped out of the office building onto the sidewalk. Stefan had been waiting there for a while.

“Not even ten minutes,” Stefan replied, handing Grace a helmet.

“That’s still pretty long, Stefan. Alright, let’s go home!”

Grace hopped onto the back seat. Stefan revved his motorcycle’s accelerator quite hard. After crossing A. Rivai Street, they rode down Veteran Street, then turned left onto Rajawali Street. Passing M. Isa Street and arriving at the Simpang Patal Underpass, they took a right onto A. Rozak Street, and finally turned left into Celentang. Grand Garden was located in Celentang.

Throughout the ride, Grace kept sharing stories about her work experience at PT Sanjaya Sawit with Stefan. As it turned out, Grace had been working there for quite some time.

“Why don’t you bring your own vehicle?” Stefan asked.

“I don’t know how to ride a motorcycle. As for driving a car to work—ugh, traffic is awful, I hate it. So taking an online ride is just better.”

“How about I become your regular driver to take you home after work?” Stefan offered hopefully.

“That sounds nice. But do you always stay around the city center in the late afternoon? What if you’re far away when I get off work?”

“Don’t worry. When afternoon comes, I won’t be far from there. Bottom line is, I’ll make it work.”

Grace was gorgeous, bearing a striking resemblance to Maudy Ayunda. Her figure was neither slender nor overweight—fair to say, quite voluptuous. As an executive secretary used to speaking in front of many people, Grace possessed a firm, pleasant voice, akin to a bank teller or a radio broadcaster.

One of the office employees had agreed to let Stefan assist with the wiretapping and theft case. Stefan was promised a payment of three hundred thousand rupiahs. Tomorrow morning, Grace would send him the victim’s data. If Stefan succeeded, three or four more employees were willing to ask for his help as well.

“Tomorrow morning, ask for their data via chat or email. I’ll handle it from home.”

Stefan continued working until eight at night. From morning to night, he completed a total of fifteen orders, earning around two hundred thousand rupiahs. Not bad for the day.

Before heading home, Stefan bought a pizza worth around one hundred twenty thousand rupiahs for his family. Stefan wanted to make his wife, in-laws, and siblings-in-law happy with him. He desperately wanted them to drop their stigma and all kinds of bad labels against him.

Stefan parked his motorcycle in the front yard, then knocked on the door while offering a greeting. Only his wife came to open it, while the others were busy with their own affairs.

“Don’t come home too late next time,” Lionny said as she took the helmet from Stefan’s hand.

Stefan looked at her happily and said, “Coming home late means I can earn more.”

“But you’ve only just recovered. We’re worried something might happen to you, especially since you’re working on the road.”

“Don’t worry. I’m completely healthy.”

The moment Stefan stepped into the family room, his in-laws and siblings-in-law simultaneously pinched their noses.

“You stink so bad!” Robert complained.

“Goodness! The sweat is unbearable!” Luchy mocked.

“Don’t you come near me!” Chyntia huffed repeatedly.

“Stefan, go shower quickly! You smell terrible!”

Far from being offended, Stefan simply smiled while setting the pizza down on the table. “Got quite a lot of orders today, so there was some extra income. We can eat together.”

Stefan then walked toward his bedroom. Lionny wanted to go over to him, but her parents stopped her.

“Leave him be, Lionny. You don’t need to pay attention to him anymore,” her mother said curtly.

“Do you guys actually want to eat pizza bought by that amnesiac?” Bobby asked while rubbing his nose, which didn't even itch.

His wife, Robert, and Luchy answered in unison, “No!”

Lionny, however, remained silent.

Robert snatched the pizza box, crushed it in his hands, and threw it into the trash can outside the gate. Shortly after, a scavenger passed by and picked up the pizza.

After showering and smelling fresh, Stefan sat down beside his wife, watching his in-laws with a radiant face, a broad smile spreading across his lips. Then, he looked over at his brother- and sister-in-law. Stefan felt truly happy.

“The pizza sure went fast! You must have been really hungry. Tomorrow I’ll buy a jumbo one. Sorry that one was a bit small—I thought it would be enough for the five of you.”

Robert stood up, grabbed his younger sister Luchy by the hand, and said, “Let’s get out of here quick! Unless you want to catch his craziness?”

“No way! Eww, terrifying!”

The two of them bounded off the family room sofa and headed to their respective bedrooms on the second floor.

Chyntia, his mother-in-law, kept observing her son-in-law’s behavior and speech over the past few days. It seemed Stefan was showing steady progress over time. *If Stefan truly recovers, we can use him as a household servant,* she thought to herself.

Stefan looked his father-in-law in the eye. Straightening his posture, he spoke up. “It seems several employees at your company are having trouble, Father. Their phones and social media have been hacked, and their money was stolen. If left unchecked, the hacker might breach the company’s security system. If that happens, the company could be in serious danger.”

Bobby was still rubbing his nose, responding to Stefan’s words with a sneer. “Trying to play the hero? Don’t bother! I already have a master hacker who will handle my employees’ problems.”

“I’m sure I can help you, Father. There’s no need to hire that person.”

“You’re talking complete nonsense. If you keep acting like this, we’re seriously putting you in a mental hospital.”

Stefan let out a breath. He refused to give up. “The proof is that I helped a woman yesterday.”

“I already told you, it’s not necessary!”
