"Tony? What are you doing in Jakarta? Why don't you work in Hong Kong? Why are you here?" Ken asked in surprise.

"Madam Wong asked me to look for you, Young Master Ken. I've been looking for you for eleven months. I've searched for you in sixty countries on five continents, I've even searched for you with the help of the IT team on several cruise ships, fortunately, finally, I found you here, young master," said Tony with a smile.

"Alright. Just tell my mom that you didn't find me. Now, go back to Hong Kong and work there again."

"It can't be that easy, Young Master. My duty requires me to find you, Young Master, and bring you back to Hong Kong. Diamond Group awaits the return of its President Director, Young Master."

"President Director? Where is my father? He should be leading Diamond Group."

"Your father is sick, Young Master. Your father is no longer able to lead Diamond Group. he's been hospitalized more than he's been performing his duties, lately, his condition has been getting worse," Tony said.

Ken was silent for a moment. Over the past year, Ken had indeed left Hong Kong, left his family and left his home.

During this year, Ken never wanted to contact his family and left all his heartache there.

"That's it, then, there's my mom who can control the company," Ken said lightly.

"That's how it started, young master. Young Master's mother was the one who controlled the company when young master's father was hospitalized, but, later on, second uncle started influencing young master's grandfather, that the Diamond Group should be led by a man surnamed Wong as per hereditary rules. Finally, Young Master's grandfather began to give ultimatums, stating that the position of President Director must change by the end of this year, if Young Master's father still did not recover, then the position of President Director would go to Second Uncle, unless..."

"Unless what?" asked Ken.

"Unless Young Master returns to be appointed President Director in place of Young Master's father."

"Uh... I'm not going back to Diamond Group."

"Why is that, Young Master?" asked Tony.

"Don't call me Young Master. I'm a cleaning service here."

"But, Young Master?

"Leave me alone if you still call me that."

"Fine....then, I'll call you, Ken."

"Yes. That's better," Kevin said.

"Here, then, Ken. Your mom wants to talk," Tony said as he handed Ken his cell phone. But Ken quickly brushed it off.

"No, no, no. I'm not going to talk to my mom. Moreover, I already know what she's going to talk about. Anyway, tell her I'm not going back to the Diamond Group."

"Please... Ken. Face me, after almost a year of looking for you, please accept this call, please, Ken. I'm begging you as your childhood friend. Please..." Tony said as he pleaded with Ken.

For a moment, Ken thought back to his childhood friendship with Tony, because back then, Tony was the son of his father's personal driver, Tony's mother, who was also the butler at Ken's house.

Tony and his family all lived in the big house of the Wong Family, Ken's family. Because Ken and Tony were the same age, they were good friends from childhood, Tony even went to the same school as Ken, and eventually, they both stayed together in college.

When Ken started working at the Diamond Group, Tony was also one of the staff at the Diamond Group subsidiary that Ken headed, until Ken suddenly disappeared from Hong Kong after breaking up with his old girlfriend.

"Okay. I'll ask my supervisor for permission first, you wait at the restaurant in front, I'll see you there soon," said Ken who without waiting for Tony's response, went straight inside to meet his supervisor.

Ken was delighted when he found Burhan, his supervisor and the head of the cleaning service in this office doing his usual thing every morning, teasing Tasya and Amalia, the two beautiful receptionists at the main door of this building.

"Mr... Mr. Burhan," Ken greeted from behind.

Burhan was a bit annoyed that his habit of teasing the receptionists was being disturbed by his men so, with a scary face, Burhan asked, "What's wrong? Are you being harassed by market thugs again? Do you need my help again? Ken, Ken. How many times have I told you that you should start learning self-defense so that you won't be bullied by thugs? Why do you need me to intervene again?"

Ken was a bit confused, because, the other day, it was Burhan himself who was bullied by the market thugs, which made Ken appear to help Burhan, making five market thugs fall into Ken's hands.

Even Burhan had peed his pants because he was so scared when bullied by the thugs at that time

But, at this time, Burhan immediately winked at him, a sign that, Burhan was also he wanted, Ken to be included in the play, a play that would certainly raise Burhan's own name, because of that, Kevin also understood and said, "Yes sir. Those market thugs are trying to harass me again, noh. They're in front, sir. So, I'm asking you to chase them away again, just like when you beat up those five market thugs the other day. That's it, sir."

Hearing Ken's words, Burhan immediately puffed up his chest, Burhan knew that his two target girls at the reception desk must have heard Ken's words earlier, and considered Burhan a hero, so Burhan laughed, "Don't worry. Where are they? I'll beat them up!" Burhan said as he walked forward, immediately followed by Ken.

Tasya said to Amalia, "wih, it turns out Mr. Burhan is great too, five thugs were made into a defeat, great. Great."

"Even though the model is like that, the stomach is distended, there are no pieces to be a hero. In fact, I believe that Ken is the real hero. Just look at his body, muscular, flat stomach, handsome again, honey... he's just an Office Boy," Amalia said while looking at Ken from behind.

"Yes, yes. I think Ken is the coolest cleaning service in Jakarta. I think he's better suited for another job, like being a waiter for an auntie, hihhi," said Tasya teasing Amalia.

"No, don't. I'm not willing to let Ken be used by aunties. It's better for him to be a cleaning service like now than to be like that," protested Amalia, who had liked Ken for a long time.

"So, when are you going to take Ken for a walk? It's been a long time, you've been suppressing your feelings for him."

"I don't know. Since the first time I saw him, I really like Ken. But, I'm waiting for his move."

"Too long. Come on, move," Tasya said encouragingly.

"Okay." Amalia replied.

Meanwhile, Ken had managed to ask Burhan for permission, Ken went straight to the restaurant where Tony was waiting for him.
