Ken stared at the car key with the BMW logo that Ardy was holding out to him. "One car, and I'm asked to let go of the best woman who accepts me for who I am? Good grief... I could buy an entire car factory if I wanted to," Ken thought to himself with a laugh.Seeing Ken laugh, Ardy immediately grinned slyly. "A BMW must be your dream car, right? Even if you work as a cleaning service for a hundred years, you still might not be able to buy a BMW. Right? So come on, take this car key."Ken immediately put on a sour face. "Not interested."Ardy and his friends were very shocked to hear Ken's answer. "Hey! This is a BMW, you know. How can you refuse? Oh... I know. Maybe you think it's a used BMW, an old model, right? No. This is the latest BMW model that I will immediately give you if you break up with Lidya right now. How about it?""Maybe he doesn't know what a BMW is," Heri chimed in from behind. "After all, he's just a cleaning service. All he knows are public minivans, probably, hah

At that moment, Lidya had already invited Ken to meet several of her relatives. Lidya became very happy when Ken was praised by several of her relatives, who said that Ken, tall, athletic, and handsome, was very compatible with Lidya and was the right partner for her."Yes, Lidya. The two of you are very well-matched. One is beautiful and slender. The other is tall and handsome. You two are the best couple at this party," said Tirza, Lidya's cousin who was indeed close to Lidya.Lidya looked at Ken, who was being praised by Tirza and the others. Lidya had to admit that her initial attraction to Ken was because of his handsomeness, his tall and athletic body, and his charming smile. Because of that, receiving support from Tirza and her other cousins made Lidya grow even fonder of Ken.But Ken's kindness, which Lidya had come to understand more deeply as she got closer to him in these recent days, made Lidya admire Ken even more. Lidya grew to love Ken even more.After that, Lidya broug

The big change began when Romel, Lidya's father, reached out toward Aji and Ningrum, Ardy's father and mother. After Aji and Ningrum were beside Romel, Romel began his words. "So, in the series of events for my beloved mother's birthday, I will insert a happy announcement from my family that we wish to share with all the guests here."Romel paused his words for a moment, and after that, he said, "My wife and I, along with Mr. Aji and his wife, have long agreed to strengthen our friendship, which has been closely intertwined for decades, through the union of our children.""What?" Lidya gasped. Lidya remembered that for a long time, Romel and Esy had mentioned several times that Lidya had been betrothed since childhood to the child of Romel and Esy's best friend. But that was all Romel and Esy had conveyed to Lidya. Lidya didn't know the full details, and Lidya didn't want to know.Lidya had indeed refused when her parents told her about it. Lidya thought the arranged marriage was just

"I have to show this to Ken," Lidya thought as she immediately took Clara's phone to look for Ken."Miss Lidya. That's my phone," Clara said, chasing after Lidya."Yeah. I'm borrowing it for a moment." Lidya kept running to find Ken. Clara and Yuni followed Lidya's quick steps as she headed toward the elevator.Lidya took out her own phone to call Ken while waiting for the elevator door to open. A few moments later, Ken's voice was heard on the other end. "Where are you? What floor are you on?""I'm working on the 2nd floor. Near the meeting room.""Okay. I'll head there. Wait for me there." At that moment, the elevator door opened, so Lidya immediately stepped inside, followed by Clara and Yuni.Once inside the elevator, Lidya immediately pressed the button for the 2nd floor, the doors closed, and the elevator began descending to the office's 2nd floor.Inside the elevator, Clara and Yuni could only stay silent as they watched Lidya's anxiety. The two of them chose not to say anythin

Haras, who just last night had been shoved into a ditch by Ken—a ditch that smelled absolutely awful—held a deep grudge against Ken. Because of that, he immediately stepped forward past Ardy, saying, "Let me beat him."Seeing Haras's move, Ardy stepped back. "Okay. You go first."Haras growled with his eyes glaring at Ken. "Last night you cheated me. You pushed me into a gutter. Now, face me like a man!"Haras was extremely bitter because last night he had ended up in a ditch with no one to help him. He had to walk to his car and was forced to let his car fill with filth, so even now his car still smelled like the gutter.Because of that, Haras was deeply vengeful toward Ken. Haras wanted to be the first to beat Ken. He clenched his fists with rage boiling over while glaring at Ken."Wait." Ken raised his hand."What more do you want, huh?!""I challenged four people last night. Why is only one stepping forward? I'm afraid the agreement will be void if I only face one person."Hearing
