Ethan stared at the car keys that had BMW written on them, which Ardy thrust into his hands.
"One car and I'm being asked to let go of the best woman who accepts me as I am? Geez... I could even buy a car factory if I wanted to," Ethan thought with a laugh.
Seeing Ethan laughing, Ardy immediately smirked slyly. "A BMW car must be the car of your dreams, right? You work as a cleaning service for a hundred years, not necessarily you can buy a BMW car. So, let's take this car key."
Ethan immediately put on a sour face. "Not interested."
Ardy and his friends are very surprised to hear Ethan's answer.
"Heh! This is a BMW car, why was it rejected? Oh... I know. Maybe you think a used BMW is an old year, right? No. This is a new type of BMW that I will give you immediately if you break up with Lidya right now, how are you?"
"Maybe he doesn't know BMW cars," Heri said from back there. "He is just cleaning service, of course he doesn't know."
"Heh, cleaning service! BMW cars are expensive cars?! Moreover, this is the newest type of car, you know!" said Ardy.
Ethan grabbed the handle of the mop and said. "I told you that I didn't want to. Are you dumb?"
Ardy immediately growled. He approached Ethan while glaring. "You dare to mock me, huh?"
"Give him a lesson, Ardy. Beat him," Harry replied.
"Just beat him. I'll close the door later. So no one comes here." Harry rushed towards the door to close the door so that if Ethan was hit, no one would know.
"Beat him, Ardy like you beat someone when we were in high school," Alex added.
Alex, Harry, Haras and Ardy were indeed a gang in high school. The four of them always bully weak students with Ardy who is known to be the most violent so they once made some students have to live like hell because he continues to persecute them.
When Ardy graduated from high school, his studies went wrong, then his family even moved to college in A City. When Ardy had been in A City for several years, Alex, Haras and Harry, who had just graduated from college, asked Ardy to recommend them to join Ardy's father's company and Ardy immediately graduated.
Therefore, as soon as Ardy came home from A City and works in his father's company, the gang of bullies who were famous during their high school days, is formed again and their first target is Ethan.
Ardy nodded and he looked down on Ethan because he was sure that he would be able to finish Ethan. While in A City, Ardy had joined a gym that was quite famous for producing many MMA and UFC champions (matches in several different martial arts disciplines) because of that, Ardy was sure that he would be able to finish off Ethan.
Ardy approached Ethan with fists while staring at Ethan threateningly. "Take off your mop stick. We'll decide here who's who worth approaching Lidya."
Ethan shook his head. "I won't fight."
"Why, huh? You dare to compete with me for Lidya, so you have to be ready to face me," Ardy growled. "You're lucky, because you met me when we were adults. If you were still in high school, I would have immediately beaten you without giving any warning."
"I still can't fight with you," Ethan said coldly.
"Why, huh?! State your reason!" Ardy said.
"If I fight with you and you beat yourself up. I'll be fired. Isn't that right?"
Hearing Ethan's words, Ardy and his friends laughed out loud, Ardy is very cheerful, and he is sure would be able to make Ethan battered.
Meanwhile, Ardy's friends couldn't imagine that Ethan would ever be able to make Ardy battered because of that they all laughed at Ethan. Harry even arrived and laughed at Ethan's words.
Ardy, who was very conceited, struggled to stop his laughter before he finally said, "I will not fire you. No matter what the outcome of our fight is. Hold on to my words. They are the witnesses." Ardy pointed towards Haras, Alex and Harry.
"No. Cause you only promised in front of your friends and it's not strong. I want you to have to promise in the office WA group and also promised in front of the canteen, seen by many people, that's what I believe."
"Okay, I'll announce it right now."
Ardy took his cellphone and started making announcements,
"One more."
"What?" Ardy asked impatiently.
"Today I have a lot of work, So, our fight, it's better to be held tomorrow at lunchtime."
"Heh! Many reasons, just say you're afraid," Ardy said.
Harry immediately whispered to Ardy. "That's right, Ar. It's better if you fight with him tomorrow, so that many people can see. Now, people are already busy. Especially if you had time to announce the office WA group, there would be a lot of excitement. I'm curious and want to see you beat him up. Isn't that right?"
"That's right, Ardy. If he is battered in front of many people, it doesn't mean that Lidya still likes him, right," Haras added.
Ardy nodded. "You're right. Okay then tomorrow I'll just finish this cleaning service, right now, you guys spread the news of my fight with him, so that tomorrow afternoon, there will be many people who will watch me finish him off," Ardy pointed at Ethan.
"Okay. Tomorrow, Lidya will be crying, after that, she will think you're great and accept your love," Alex said.
Ardy still had time to point at Ethan again. He gave Ethan a threatening look, and after that, he and his friends immediately left Ethan.
Ethan again mopped the floor. He returned to his duties and did not seem bothered by Ardy's arrival and Ardy's threat earlier.
****
An hour later, when Ethan was still cleaning the 10th floor, suddenly Lukman grabbed Ethan from behind and said, "Someone is looking for you."
Ethan turned his body and immediately saw Lidya's presence behind Ethan who was now staring at Ethan, Ethan immediately knew that Lidya was what Lukman meant, especially when Lukman immediately left this place so that there were only Ethan and Lidya.
"Is it true what I heard?" Lidya asked while continuing to stare at Ethan.
"About what?"
"Is it true that you will fight with Ardy tomorrow to fight over me?"
"Actually there are no words about fighting over you because you are your own. If I lose, I have no right to hand you over to Ardy or anyone else. To me, this is just an ordinary fight. Ardy did challenge me to a duel earlier and I responded."
"Are you able to win against him? Can you keep his conceited mouth shut?"
"I can do it, Lidya," Ethan assured.
"I believe in you. Then, make this a battle to fight over me, as they say. Win me," Lidya concluded Lidya.
