71 Ken the Cleaner
In the hotel lobby, a commotion broke out, because the most beautiful girl in their class year was heading toward the event venue holding hands with a man.This made many people start to look intently at Ken. The men were envious of Ken for winning Lidya's heart, while the women became curious about the appearance of the man who had succeeded in becoming the boyfriend of the girl famously known as the most beautiful in their class year.And finally, what Ken had feared earlier began to happen. There were several people who apparently knew Heri and Alex and had gotten news from Heri and Alex, who were still in the hospital but had managed to spread the news via WhatsApp that Ken was just a cleaning service at the office where Lidya worked.Several people immediately spread this to others, so that whispers began, and the name Ken, as the cleaning service, started to surface among Lidya's friends at this high school reunion.Ken's name, accompanied by his jo
72 Darius's Hidden Plan
It was at that moment that Darius approached. "Hello, Lidya. Long time no see," Darius greeted, putting on a friendly face. When he was in the parking lot earlier, Darius had tried to appear arrogant, but once inside the room, he tried to appear friendly."Hello, Darius. How are you?" Lidya said, making small talk. After that, she looked back at Ken with full of love. Lidya deliberately showed Darius her feelings for Ken. Because of that, Lidya gazed at Ken lovingly."I'm fine and successful, of course. That's just how I am," Darius said, full of confidence and sounding arrogant. Darius was somewhat disappointed to see that Lidya, whom he was talking to, was still looking at Ken."Good for you. Oh, right. This is Ken, my beloved boyfriend." Lidya pointed at Ken.Ken nodded toward Darius. "Nice to meet you, Darius.""Is he really your boyfriend? Is he really a cleaning service like people are talking about?" Darius asked.Ken and Lidya looked
73 Bribed
Ken and Lidya began walking to the front, following Darius's steps. Along the way, there was whispering that seemed like murmurs but was deliberately voiced loudly so that Ken and Lidya could hear.The whispering kept questioning Lidya's choice of Ken, who was just a cleaning service. Some even accused Lidya of being under a spell for liking Ken."This is my choice. This is my life's path! I chose Ken even though he's just a cleaning service, without coercion, and I'm sure without any spell, because I chose him with my heart. So, I hope this can stop your assumptions," Lidya asserted while looking around.Lidya didn't know exactly who was whispering and accusing her of being under a spell. Because of that, she looked around and stared sharply at several people, because she knew the gossipers were among them.Ken looked at Lidya with deep emotion. Ken was so proud of Lidya's words. Because in Lidya's words, there was a very sincere feeling of love from Lid
74 Refuse
Ken, who had suspected all along that Darius indeed had a cunning plan for him, now began to laugh inwardly after hearing the bribe Darius threw at him. Ken began to feel irritated with Darius.Because of that, Ken immediately shook his head. "I won't accept that offer.""Why? Do you want more? I know what kind of person you are. A cleaning service like you definitely won't be able to resist the temptation of a lot of money, right? Okay, I'll raise my offer. I can give you ten billion, as long as you leave Lidya right now. How about it?"Right now, unbeknownst to Darius, Ken had already aimed his phone's camera at Darius and connected it to the phones of Felix, his IT expert subordinate, and also Tony, so that these two subordinates of his could hear the conversation between Darius and Ken."How about it? I think ten billion is enough for you. Right? I can even add one of my cars worth one and a half billion, the car I parked in front of this hotel's entr
75 Competing in a Charity Auction
Hearing Ken's words, everyone was shocked. Not only the people around Ken were shocked, but also all the reunion participants.Especially at that moment, a camera was immediately pointed at Ken, and Ken's face was immediately displayed on the large projector on stage, so that everyone immediately knew that Ken, who was a cleaning service, dared to participate in the auction, even at a price many times higher than the previous bid.Elizabeth, who knew Ken was just a cleaning service, whispered to Ken, "What are you doing? You don't need to participate in that auction, Ken.""I have to, because I promised to accompany Lidya at this event. Because of that, I will accompany Lidya until the end of the event. So, I don't want to be expelled from this place," Ken asserted.Elizabeth looked at Lidya, but Lidya just shrugged nonchalantly. Lidya let Ken participate in the auction. In her heart, she intended to pay the auction cost. This was to shut down Darius's ar
76 Winning the Auction
"Fifteen billion ten million," Ken said calmly, in a loud voice.Darius up front became furious hearing Ken still competing with him. He then got out of his chair and signaled to the cameraman covering this event to keep following him as he headed to the middle to approach where Ken was sitting, still carrying a wireless microphone in his hand.Darius smiled cynically at Ken. "Remember, cleaning service! If you don't pay for the auction you win later, you'll go to prison. This may not be in the reunion rules, but it's in the auction rules, because if you participate in an auction and you don't pay, that means you've committed fraud!""You don't need to remind me about that, Darius. Even though I'm just a cleaning service, I know the rules for participating in an auction. You don't need to teach me. When I win, then automatically, I have to pay for what I've won," Ken said calmly."Good." After that, Darius looked toward the stage. He raised the microphone
77 Auction Event Proceeding
"In whose name? It's impossible that a cleaning service, who usually only gets a minimum wage, could transfer that much money," Darius cut in, using the microphone so his voice could be heard by all the participants of this high school reunion."What's that gentleman's name?" Eintracht, the representative of the charitable foundation, asked, pointing toward Ken."His name is Ken. His job is a cleaning service, the kind who mops floors and cleans toilets. Did the one who transferred the money do it in the name of Ken?""No, actually. It was in the name of Tony. But the person who transferred it just called me and said the money transferred was for the benefit of this Ken, to buy the table for this fundraising event."Eintracht's words shocked many people, because with this, it meant that the arrogant Darius was on the losing side in the competition to get the auction table, and this would embarrass Darius because he could be defeated by a cleaning service.
78 Darius Wins. But...
"Eighty billion," Ken said, to match the seventy-five billion Darius had agreed to earlier.Ken even said it in a loud voice in front of the microphone while raising his hand.Hearing that, Lidya, Elizabeth, and Laura could only cover their faces with their hands. They truly could no longer control what was happening right now.They looked at Ken, feeling sorry that Ken would have to become a slave in someone's house just to compete in a charity event for a table.Darius and all the attendees were very shocked to hear Ken's words. They hadn't expected Ken to put forward such a fantastic number, which meant exceeding Darius's number by five billion.Darius laughed and said, "Now I know what's happening. It seems this cleaning service has a rare organ needed by that wealthy person named Tony. I don't know which organ it is, but it seems after tonight, Ken the cleaning service will have to die because his organ will be taken by the person paying for t
79 Darius Goes Bankrupt
"What? Bankrupt? But that's impossible, Dad. Our company is big. It can't go bankrupt in an instant," Darius said, shocked.Darius was so shocked by his father's words that he forgot to turn off the loudspeaker on his phone, so his conversation with his father was still being heard by everyone in this room."Yes, Darius. Our company has indeed been in trouble for several months, but this problem has grown bigger with your extremely luxurious lifestyle and also with your mistake of replacing management with new people, who instead of bringing change, actually brought an extravagant lifestyle far more excessive than the previous management.""But the management I chose are great managers from our competitor companies, Dad. Even though we have to pay their salaries and facilities high, we will reap good results in the future, Dad.""The problem is, we don't have more time, Darius!""But, Dad. We're about to get a loan from Diamond Group, right? The Wo
80 Enjoying Lidya's Sincere Love
"Enough, Lidya. Let the money Tony already paid be," Ken whispered in Lidya's ear."But I'm afraid, Ken. I'm afraid you'll have to sacrifice your organs just for this auction. You could die, Ken." Lidya looked at Ken with a deep feeling of guilt.Lidya touched Ken's hand and looked at Ken with great emotion.Ken was just about to say something when he suddenly remembered something. He remembered a gaze like this. But the difference was, the gaze in his memory was Clarissa's gaze at him in the past.At that time, Clarissa had been caught transferring a lot of Ken's money into Clarissa's personal account. Clarissa looked at Ken and told him about her biggest dream of making her parents proud by earning a lot of money on her own, and because she couldn't do it, Clarissa was forced to take Ken's money.At that time, Ken was influenced by Clarissa's gaze, which seemed sincere, so Ken no longer made an issue of his lost money. But two days later, Ken got
