The Richest Man Looking for Love

9 I Decide Who is Worthy

The next day, just as Ken stepped out of his modest boarding house, he was immediately intercepted by Tony. "What do you want?"

"I have prepared a luxury apartment located near your office, Young Master. In fact, Young Master could even walk to the office because it's very close to your office, Young Master. Young Master will be in the same apartment complex as the senior brokers in your office, Young Master. Isn't my search result impressive?" Tony said proudly.

Ken immediately furrowed his brow. "Do you realize what you're doing, huh?"

"What do you mean, Young Master?"

"If I live there, there will be many people who work at my office who will find it strange."

"Strange how, Young Master?"

"Well, of course it would be strange. How could a cleaning service like me live in a luxury apartment? Right? When I leave the apartment or wait for the elevator, I'll definitely run into people from my office. My disguise will be exposed, you know?!"

"Oh, right. But Madam Maggie asked me to find a proper place for you to live, Young Master. Madam can't bear to see Young Master continue living in a rundown house like this, Young Master." Tony pointed toward Ken's boarding house.

"Just tell my mother that I want to keep living in this house." Ken moved to leave Tony and headed toward his beat-up motorcycle parked in the yard of his boarding house.

"In that case, a second alternative, Young Master. I've found another place to live, and if Young Master agrees, I'll rent it right away. What do you think, Young Master?"

"I already told you, I don't want to move out of this boarding house. Period," Ken asserted.

"But this house is located right behind Lidya's house, Young Master. Young Master could even secretly watch her from a distance without her seeing you. Young Master can be close to her, and at the same time, Young Master can fulfill Madam's wish for Young Master to be comfortable in a new place. What do you think, Young Master?"

Ken fell silent. He began to consider Tony's suggestion.

"Besides, that house will also be my place to stay along with Andreas and the others."

"Andreas? What about Andreas?" Ken was reminded of Andreas, who had been Ken's bodyguard in the past when Ken was still in Hong Kong.

"Because Young Master isn't willing to come home yet, Madam sent Andreas and his team to guard Young Master here. Madam doesn't trust it with only me guarding you, Young Master."

"Well, of course. Besides, if it's just you, usually I'm the one protecting you, not you protecting me," Ken retorted, ending with a laugh.

Tony could only scratch his head, though it wasn't itchy. "But at least my energy and brain are needed to help out, Young Master."

"Alright, fine. Since the house is behind Lidya's house, I'm willing to live there."

"That's the spirit, Young Master. Later, when Young Master goes in and out of that housing complex, just use a car with dark window film so Lidya won't see you. That beat-up motorcycle can be thrown into the river, Young Master," Tony said while glancing at Ken's old motorcycle.

"Don't be ridiculous. No matter what, this motorcycle has historical value for me, you know? Because I bought this motorcycle with my own salary, outside of Diamond Group."

"In that case, just sell it by weight, Young Master. So its history can be turned into cash."

"Hush."

During lunch break. Suddenly, Ken received a W******p message from Lidya asking him to meet on the 5th floor. Ken hurriedly went to the 5th floor.

Ken only realized that the 5th floor was also the floor where the office cafeteria was located when he saw many office workers passing by in that area.

And sure enough, as Ken had guessed, when he asked via W******p message about Lidya's location, Lidya said she was in the cafeteria, at the seat closest to the second door.

Ken immediately headed to the spot Lidya had indicated. From outside, Ken had already seen Lidya sitting in the place she mentioned, and now she was waving at Ken.

"Have you been waiting long?" Ken asked as he sat down in front of Lidya.

"Not long. But I was really hoping you'd come quickly so he can see that I already have you and back off immediately," Lidya said, as if hiding something.

"What do you mean? Oh, right. Let me order food first."

"I've already ordered chicken rice, mineral water, and chicken satay for you. I hope you'll like it. It'll be brought here shortly."

"Okay. So what did you mean earlier? Who did you want to see me?"

"Ardy."

"Who is Ardy?" Ken asked curiously.

"He's the son of Mr. Aji, the main commissioner at this company."

"And?"

"Ardy has had a crush on me for a long time, but I don't want him because he's a playboy, and I'm not interested in that kind of playboy."

"Has he been approaching you?"

"He just got back from America because his studies there didn't go well. Then he immediately became one of the directors at this company. He was officially appointed as finance director this morning."

"And then?"

"This morning, he approached me again, asking me to be his girlfriend, promising a higher position and top-tier stock investors for me as long as I'm willing to be with him."

"What was your answer?"

"Of course I said no. Then I told him that I already have you. Ugh... there he comes." Lidya's eyes looked past Ken toward the back, so Ken immediately turned his body to look behind him.

A young man with an arrogant demeanor, his gaze fixed on Lidya, was now approaching the table where Ken and Lidya were sitting. He was accompanied by three other men around his age.

The arrogant young man stopped beside the table where Ken and Lidya were seated and stared at Lidya, asking, "Is this the boyfriend you mentioned earlier?" The young man pointed at Ken without looking at him.

The arrogant young man's question made many people who were eating in the cafeteria, including the servers and the cafeteria lady, now look at Lidya with intense curiosity. They were all waiting for Lidya's answer, and this became an opportunity for the flies to sample the food of the cafeteria guests.

"Yes, Ardy. That's exactly right. This is Ken, my boyfriend. He and I just started dating last night," Lidya asserted.

Ardy, the arrogant young man, immediately furrowed his brow. One of Ardy's friends immediately whispered something into Ardy's ear.

After that, Ardy burst out laughing. "A cleaning service? Hahaha. You're dating a cleaning service? Hahahaha. As if there's no one else." Ardy was so shocked to learn the fact that Ken, Lidya's boyfriend, was just a cleaning service in this office.

"Indeed, he is a cleaning service. So what? What's the problem, huh?" Lidya challenged.

"He is completely unworthy of you, Lidya."

"Only I can determine who is worthy of me. Because this is my life. I'm the one living it. Not you," Lidya asserted while glaring at Ardy.
