What are you waiting for?" Maggie asked on the other end of the line.
"I want to go home when I've made conquered a woman's heart‚ mom‚" Ethan answered.
"Just give her an apartment with the supercar. I'm sure you can get her."
"I don't want to be like that‚ mom. I want her to accept me as I am."
"As the errand boy in the office?" Maggie asked.
"Yes, mom."
"But it's going to take a long time‚ Ethan! Uh … Diamond Group might fall into your uncle's hands."
"Hopefully not‚ mom. Mommy just prays for me so I can get my soul mate before the end of this year. Okay?"
"Well‚ I hope. But remember it can't be past the end of this year."
"Don't worry‚ mom‚ but mommy also has to remember‚ mommy can't tell my coveted girl about my real status‚ if mommy does that‚ I'll disappear again and I'm sure‚ Mommy won't be able to find me‚" Ethan threatened with a serious tone.
Maggie was silent on the other side‚ it seemed that Maggie was planning to do what Ethan was afraid of‚ but‚ after hearing Ethan's threaten earlier‚ Maggie finally sighed and said‚ "Okay. Mommy won't contact the girl you are after‚ but remember‚ if necessary‚ you can still help that girl secretly with all our company branches there without needing to tell her‚ OK?"
"Okay‚ mom. But it doesn't look necessary either‚ but never mind. I will accept that suggestion mommy. I'll go, first mom."
"Yeah‚ take care of yourself there."
"Yes mom‚" Ethan said as he hung up the phone with Maggie Chow.
After that‚ Ethan looked at Tony and said‚ "I'll do it."
"What do you mean?" Tony asked as he drank. a glass of avocado ice in front of him.
"Today‚ I will ask Lidya to date me. Something I should have done a long time ago."
"Good. Do that. Do I need a Lamborghini for the date?"
"No. I'll pick her up with my old motorbike‚ a used motorbike that I bought from my income as a cleaning service and I'm proud of that motorbike. Lidya should be proud when I ride her on that motorbike too‚" Ethan said.
"Okay‚ it's up to you then. But remember‚ whenever you want‚ I will provide luxury cars from various well-known brands for you to use‚" Tony concluded.
"Okay. I'll go first." Ethan immediately walked away from Tony and headed back to the company.
After that Ethan returned to his old routine‚ mopping the floor and being ordered by other office employees. Sometimes he was asked to photocopy files‚ he was told to buy snacks and others‚ until the moment that Ethan was waiting for arrived‚ which was office time.
IHGS had been closed since earlier and after completing the data‚ usually, the stockbrokers or stock brokers including Lidya‚ will soon return from the office and this was the moment that Ethan had been waiting for.
Ethan had finished his work and chose to wait for Lidya near the main elevator on the first floor of the office.
There was a feeling of nervousness and also a feeling of insecurity in Ethan's heart right now‚ but Ethan made up his mind to approach Lidya‚ told to Lidya and asked her to date him.
"What are you doing here?" someone said from beside Ethan.
"Lukman‚" Ethan said as soon as he saw who greet him.
"What are you doing here?" Lukman asked again while leaning against the wall beside Ethan.
"I want to follow your words this morning‚ Luk."
"Which one? When I said Aunt Della was beautiful and I had a dream about Aunt Della‚ is it?"
"No. That's what you were talking about yesterday‚ I mean what you said this morning‚" Ethan replied‚ keeping an eye on the elevator door so he wouldn't miss it when Lidya got out of the elevator.
"You mean‚ you want to express your feelings to Lidya?"
"Yeah. But‚ I mean‚ I haven't expressed my feelings yet. I just wanted to ask her out first‚" Ethan said with a smile.
"Good. I support you. If you need money‚ to tell me that we should pray together‚ because it means we both need money‚ ha ha ha."
Ethan could only shake his head at Lukman's words‚ which were mostly not serious. Suddenly‚ Ethan's head shaking stopped when he saw Lidya coming out of the elevator.
At this time‚ Ethan's eyes couldn't blink when he saw Lidya's beauty‚ Lidya's beauty was like an angel from heaven so Ethan forgot to breathe because Ethan was so fascinated by Lidya.
Ethan was so stunned. Even‚ Ethan didn't realize when Lidya and her friends had already past Ethan's way.
"Wow! Realized! She wants to go!" Lukman whispered trembling in Ethan's ear.
Hearing the Lukman whisper ‚ Ethan immediately realized and immediately walked quickly to Lidya‚ who as usual was walking with two of her friends and staff‚ namely Clara and Yuni.
"Lid … Lidya‚" Ethan greeted from behind.
Lidya turned her body and immediately smiled when she saw Ethan. "What's the matter‚ Ethan?"
"Look …. um … can I talk to you?" Ethan asked to hope that Clara and Yuni would understand and quickly moved away from there. But‚ the two women‚ didn't seem to understand‚ they didn't understand Ethan's words at all and still stood where they were.
Ethan looked at Clara and Yuni alternately but‚ they were still relaxed in their respective places.
"What are you saying?" Lidya asked curiously. Her beautiful eyes stare at Ethan closely.
"If I may‚ tonight‚ I'd like to take you out to dinner‚" Ethan said hopefully as he stared at Lydia's beautiful eyes.
Clara and Yuni immediately chuckled after hearing Ethan's words. They both felt that Lidya‚ their friend and boss‚ would be refused Ethan's request.
"I'm sorry‚ Ethan. But‚ I can't‚" Lidya said finally smiling at Ethan.
"Ha ha ha. Rejected‚" Yuni said immediately laughing out loud with a very loud voice while holding her stomach after hearing Lidya's words earlier.
"Poor of you man? Ha ha ha‚" Clara said in a mocking laugh at Ethan.
Ethan immediately tried to see both of them laughing. Clara and Yuni's laughter‚ which was deliberately louder‚ attracted a friend of theirs‚ named Billy‚ to join the crowd. Billy immediately started laughing when he heard what happened between Clara and Yuni.
"Oh poor!!!" Billy said towards Ethan‚ with mocking laughs Clara and Yuni towards Ethan.
Seeing that‚ Ethan just smiled faintly and he nodded toward Lidya. He hid his disappointment and immediately turned around to leave Lidya.
"Wait‚ I mean‚ tonight I have to go with my mom. But‚ I can go with you tomorrow night‚" Lidya said from behind.
