"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
16 Enjoying Lydia's Anxiety
"Hah! The stakes aren't exciting. It's not that I'm afraid to fight you, you know, but the stakes don't suit me. Because I can still fire you anytime I want," Ardy sneered."Just say you're scared!" Lidya, who firmly believed Ken could defeat Ardy in the upcoming fight, tried to challenge Ardy."I'm not scared, Lidya. But what I get doesn't suit me—I can still fire him, so the outcome of the fight isn't very challenging for me," Ardy snorted."I'll leave Lidya if I lose. But if I win, I can't be fired from the office," Ken chimed in.Ardy still seemed to be thinking for a moment; he hadn't made a decision yet. "If I win, Lidya must happily accept our engagement.""As for that, Lidya must decide. She has her own life. I can't control her. She has free will. No one should be allowed to force her, including her parents.""You're right." Lidya nodded, affirming Ken's words."Hey! Don't you dare try to influence others!" Ardy glared at Ken."I can only guarantee that if I lose to you in ou
15 Engagement
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
14 Assessments for prospective in-laws
The person who approached Ken was Ardy. He smiled slyly and said, "My offer to you is still open. If you break up with Lidya in front of me, then I will give you my BMW, and tomorrow, I will withdraw from our fight."Ken scoffed. "Are you afraid I'll beat you up?""Hahaha. On the contrary, I'm giving you a chance to live, because my last opponents all ended up in the hospital because of these fists of mine." Ardy showed his clenched fist with a threatening glare toward Ken."We'll see tomorrow. Who ends up in the hospital.""So, once again, you're not accepting my offer, is that it?""That's right.""Okay. Don't regret it later." Ardy scoffed and left Ken.At that moment, on the other side, Lidya was beginning to receive questions from her friends about Ken. "Is it true that your boyfriend is just a cleaning service?""Where did you all find out?" Lidya asked. At that moment, Tirza, Lidya's cousin who was also her high school friend, was also standing beside Lidya."Ardy told us. Is i

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
12 Perfect Couples
Ken immediately smiled upon hearing Lidya's words. "Alright. I'll follow your wish. I will make this a fight to compete for you, and I'm confident that I will win my fight against him." Ken was optimistic that he could defeat Ardy."Are you one hundred percent sure that you can defeat Ardy?" Lidya asked once more."I am very sure, Lidya.""Okay. In that case, win me tomorrow, just as you have already won my heart."Ken nodded in response to Lidya's words."It's almost time to leave the office. I want you to quickly shower in the office bathroom and wear these clothes." Lidya handed over a package she had taken from her bag. "I hope the size fits you. I was only guessing. Hopefully, it fits."Ken opened the package and found branded clothes inside. "Why should I wear these clothes?""I want you to accompany me. Tonight, there's an event at my house, and this is the first time I'm bringing a boyfriend to my house after so long. So, your presence is very important to me.""But what if I
