31 Refusing to Move

"What is Jaya Raya investment?" asked Ken.

"It's a famous stock company in this country, the same as this company," Lidya replied, looking at Ken.

"Yes, Ken. Jaya Raya investment is one of the biggest companies in the country. You will have a brilliant career there and even their boss himself is said to be your personal mentor because you already have the instinct to become a successful stockbroker, you just need to be guided by the right people to achieve success," said Gatot.

"Wait a minute, if I go into Jaya Raya investment, that means I have to part with Lydia, right?" Ken looked at Lidya sadly.

"Lydia will definitely let you because it's for your future. You will succeed there. I'm sure of it." Gatot gave Ken a thumbs up.

"If you're not given a chance here, you can prove it there, Ken. You can prove that you can be a great person and Mr. Aji will lose nothing when he sees your success there." Lidya held Ken's hand.

Ken immediately shook his head. "I'm not going, Lidya."

Ken immediately refused as he began to imagine being separated from her and that was something he didn't want.

"You will be given a very good contract with a good salary and with a wonderful bonus." After that, Gatot immediately revealed the contract, salary and bonus that Ken would receive at Jaya Raya investment.

"That's a very good salary for a beginner and it's almost the same amount as me who has been working here for many years, Ken," said Lidya. "You should accept it, Ken."

"I can't imagine my life away from you. I want to be with you, Lidya. In the same company with you. I'm not going anywhere," Ken said firmly.

"Lidya, convince him to go. The boss there has even promised that Ken will get an immediate bonus increase within a month. He'll be successful there, he'll be wasted here as a cleaning service," said Gatot frantically.

"Yes, Ken. This is for your future, Ken. You have to think about this carefully. You'll be successful there. As for us, we can still be together. Every time I go home from work, you can pick me up here, after you finish your work there. Right? We can make an appointment somewhere every time I leave the office and on Saturday and Sunday we'll always be together."

"No, Lidya. I can't. Over the past year, I've gotten used to being in this office, seeing your face when you come into the office in the morning, and seeing you during lunch, and also during office hours. So, there's no way I can leave this office unless you come with me there too."

"I can't, Ken. Even if the boss recruits me there, I can't go, because this company is my family's company. My father works here and has a stake in this company although it's not as big as Ardi's father's stake, but I can't deal with my own father's company. I can't, Ken." Lidya shook her head.

"Then, I'll keep working here even if it's just as a cleaning service," Ken said.

"Come on, Ken. Let's think about love later. But, you have to put your future first. You have great potential, you can't keep working here as a cleaning service when you can achieve success there. Come on, Lidya. Persuade her. Persuade him, Lidya." Gatot panicked at Ken's attitude.

Lidya sighed heavily. She could understand this insistent Ken, who didn't want to be away from her who didn't want to part with her, because she also felt the same way.

Lidya also didn't want to separate from Ken. However, she was also thinking about Ken's future. Even though Ken has potential that could be a beautiful future for Ken even if he has to achieve it in another office.

Therefore, after a few moments of silence, Lidya finally said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gatot. I'll discuss this with Ken. I'll let you know later."

"Alright, Lidya, but if possible, tomorrow morning, for sure? You see, tomorrow morning, Ken and I are expected at the Jaya Raya investment office. I'll drop Ken off there before I go to this office. I'll take a short break to go there."

"Okay, we'll let you know." Lidya immediately took Ken's hand and left Gatot.

They both walked hand in hand without caring about the eyes of many people.

Even though Ken was now bathed and dressed, in nice clothes brought by his assistant and no longer dressed as a cleaning service, but Ken was already famous as a cleaning service, so the eyes of many people today still looked down on Ken and regretted Lidya's choice to make out with a cleaning service.

There were many pairs of male eyes that still couldn't understand the choice made by Lidya, because the choice to date a cleaning service was very low in the eyes of many men. But there were also male employees who looked enviously at Ken who managed to conquer the heart of this beautiful girl, the flower in the office.

Meanwhile, when Lidya and Ken passed by the female employees, the female employees would stare in surprise at Lydia. They couldn't stop thinking about Lidya's thoughts that were far beyond the reasoning of women who usually preferred established men, they were quite sorry for the choices Lidya had made.

But even so there were also some female employees who looked enviously at Lidya because Lidya managed to conquer the heart of a hotshot man who had just proven his prowess after successfully overcoming the gang of 4 men at once in front of this office canteen.

When Ken and Lidya arrived at the first floor, Amalia and Tasya, the receptionists on the first floor immediately noticed the couple.

"Your cleaning service idol finally got Lidya. You're so slow, Amalia," Tasya sneered at Amalia.

Amalia could only hold back her frustration because she had liked Ken for a long time and she had signaled Ken several times but he never approached her. Now Amalia could only stare at Ken from a distance when she saw him holding hands with Lidya.

Finally Lidya got into her car which had been brought by her driver to the front door of this office.

Indeed, it was the duty of the family driver, besides picking up Romel, Lidia's father, he was also in charge of picking up Lidya's car which was always parked in the basement.

"Can you take the car?" Lidya asked Ken. Because Lidya remembered that Ken was only a cleaning service, so she thought Ken had never owned a car or never learned to drive a car, that's why she asked that question.

"Well I can."

"Then drop me off. Let's go on a date." Lidya immediately threw the car keys to Ken.
