The person who approached Ethan was Ardy. He smiled slyly and said, "My offer to you is still open. If you broke up with Lidya in front of me, then, I will give my BMW to you. And tomorrow, I will withdraw from our fight."
Ethan snorted. "Are you afraid I'll beat you up?"
"Ha ha ha, I'm actually giving you a chance to live because my last opponents, all ended up in hospital because of my fist." Ardy showed his fist with a gaze threatening Ethan.
"We'll see tomorrow, Who enters the hospital."
"So, again, you didn't accept my offer, did you?"
"I am."
"Okay, Don't regret it later," Ardy snorted and left Ethan.
Right now, over there, Lidya started getting questions from her friends about Ethan. "Is it true that your boyfriend is a cleaning service?"
"How do you know?" Lydia asked. Currently, Tirza, Lidya's cousin who was also Lidya's high school friend, was also beside Lidya.
"Ardy told me, is that true?"
"It is. That's true," Lidya answered .
Lidya's friends, including Tirza, were very surprised with Lidya's answer. The eyes of all of them glared at Lydia.
"I don't think Ardy's words are true. I think Ardy said that out of jealousy," Maya said, one of Lidya's friends.
"No. That's true, really," Lidya said calmly.
"How can you like him?" Maya asked again representing friends questions.
"When I introduced him to you, you said that he and I are a perfect match, right? Well. That's the answer."
"We mean. You and Ethan are indeed compatible in terms of being beautiful, both tall, both white, both pleasing to the eye. However, when it comes to status and work... very different, Lid. "
Maya's words made a lot Maya's friends immediately nodded and heavily influenced Lidya not to continued her relationship with Ethan.
"Sorry. I can't. I accept Ethan as he is no matter what. I don't care even if he's just a cleaning service because I don't see his work. I see his heart. After all, Ethan isn't always in his current job. It could be tomorrow he's been working as a stockbroker like me. Isn't he?" Lidya said this because she was planning a way for it for Ethan.
What was on Lidya's mind, was apparently noticed by Mei Chen, Maya's friend. "What are you planning, it could fail miserably, Lid."
"What do you mean, Mei Chen?" Lydia asked.
"I mean, your attempts to raise him to be a stockbroker like you, so that he can be on the same level as you, you both can meet failure."
Hearing Mei Chen's words, every Lidya's friends, seem to be paying attention and waited for Mei Chen's next words.
"Why do you know about this business of mine, Mei Chen?"
"I can see it from the look on your face when you keep asking Maya and the others to leave Ethan and from that, I can conclude that you're up to something. That's all. I'm an observer."
"Are these Mei Chen's words true?" Tirza asked curiously,
"Yes, Mei Chen's observations are indeed correct."
"But, I believe that you will fail," Mei Chen said again.
"Failed what do you mean?"
"Come on, Lidya, the world of stock trading is not an easy world. The competition is tough and big losses can happen in the blink of an eye. If you give a cleaning service a chance to suddenly enter the stock market, he won't be able to succeed. He will embarrass you, Lidya."
"No. I reject your words. Nothing is not possible, maybe Ethan made it. I am sure of it," Lydia said. But, actually in her hheart, when Lidya was getting affected by Mei Chan's words who really doubts Ethan who just a cleaning service.
Lidya began to not believe that Ethan will succeed in the stock world. But Lidya still loved Ethan and was determined to give her whole heart to Ethan, however, Lidya was still not sure that Ethan will succeed in the stock world.
"Don't just stare. You can see that your boyfriend is starting to be surrounded by aunts. Your mother is still there," Tirza said, pointing to Ethan who was talking to several older women.
Lidya rushed to Ethan. From a distance Lidya had started to hear the conversation up ahead and Lidya began to feel sorry for the words that were said to Ethan.
"So, it's true that you're just a cleaning service at Lidya's office?" Esy asked, Lidya's mother.
"Yes, auntie, that's true." Ethan bowed his head respectfully.
"Then you shouldn't date my daughter. I DON'T AGREE! You should be self-aware, who are you and who is Lidya, understand?" Esy glared at Ethan.
There was a buzz behind Esy who the majority agree with Esy's opinion that Lidya should be paired with equal to Lidya and her family.
"What's this, mom?" Lydia asked.
"Ardy said, this is your boyfriend." Esy pointed towards Ethan. "Just a cleaning service. Is that right?"
"That's right, mom." Lidya answered firmly and no the slightest doubt in her tone.
"Lidya, you should be able to choose a good one, Don't embarrass your mom."
"Mom... remember what Mama taught me since I was little. Mama told me not to pick my friends, right? Have you forgotten what Mama taught me?"
"Mama doesn't forget, But it's for association with friend. You can be friends with anyone. But, when it comes to boyfriends, it's different. Mama would be embarrassed if you married a cleaning service."
"What's the difference? If we're friends, we shouldn't be able to differentiate between rich and poor status, so when looking for a boyfriend, we have to be the same," Lidya insisted.
"Never mind, we'll continue later. Well, the event will be started," Esy immediately left Lidya because on that stage, the highlight of Mirriam's birthday already started.
Romel, Lydia's father already looking for Esy, so Esy immediately approached Romel to go up on stage together to accompany Mirriam, Lidya indifferently approached Ethan, hooked her arm around Ethan's arm and looking up stage there with Ethan.
"I'm sorry, Lidya," Ethan whispered.
"Why should you sorry?"
"Because I embarrassed you and even scolded your mom for my work."
"I'm not ashamed. Ever since I accepted you as my boyfriend, I've been prepared for situations like this and when it comes to getting scolded, it's normal. My mom scolded me a lot for many things when I was against her. But, in the end she wouldn't bring it up again. and had to accept what I had decided."
Hearing Lidya's words. Ethan was increasingly amazed by Lidya.
"I really have found my soul mate," Ethan thought.
But, suddenly there was a big change in space. This guest had taken many people by surprise.
