Ken was taken aback. After a moment, he said, "Of course. There are many things in this world that I can't have simply because I want them."
"Elaborate on it.” Chester passed a cigarette to him.
Ken accepted the cigarette and said, "You know that my parents divorced when I was five years old. I had a happy life before I was five, but it only took an instant for everything to fall apart. No matter how much I begged my dad not to divorce my mom and abandon me, he still left even after I knelt and pleaded with him not to leave. It was because he had another woman outside, and that woman was pregnant too." Ken smiled. "I asked for a complete family and for the people I loved not to leave me. However, those were just my wishes.
Everyone is an independent individual. They're not obliged to satisfy me."
"That’s right. She’s not obliged to satisfy me either," Chester muttered.
Some people wished for family love, while some hoped for romantic love.
However, emotions were the hardest to control.
Ken opened his mouth, but he was hesitant to speak.
"Continue what you want to say," Chester said.
Ken cleared his throat. “I'll say it, then. Don’t get angry, President Jewell.” "I won't." Chester shook his head.
Ken stammered, "Actually, this isn't just my opinion, but also your secretary's, assistant’s, and employees’ thoughts. Anyone would want to have a brain, an appearance, and a prominent identity like yours. However, we don't have them, so we can only be diligent, work a nine-to-five job, and pay our housing loans.
Nevertheless, we still have our wishes, so we pray fervently.
"Sometimes, we’ve clearly worked hard but still feel helpless. It’s like some people are born with a headstart while others can't get that far even after their lives end."
Did Ken want to be a bodyguard who had to risk his life when met with danger?
No.
However, he had no choice.
To survive and earn money, there were no
other ways.
