BXBX NOVEL Chapter 46 - An Assistant
Their dinner was decorated with an unpleasant atmosphere. After the previous incident, of course they all had no appetite. Anya only played with the spoon without feeding the food into her mouth.
Harris also didn\'t join them that night because he wanted to immediately investigate what happened. Although Hana told him to eat first, he decided to go straight away.
After dinner, Anya and Aiden sat in the living room relaxing. Anya continued reading the book. The television in the room remained on, broadcasting the latest news. Her voice seemed to help blanket the silence in the house. Meanwhile, Aiden closed his eyes while listening to the news from the television.
Suddenly, Anya\'s phone rang
Anya was shocked to hear the call. Who just suddenly called her? Was that her father?
"Why don\'t you pick it up?" Aiden asked. He felt a little annoyed by the sound of the call. Either he was disturbed by the sound of the call or because someone called Anya.
"I\'ll take the call first." Anya answered. She was about to get up and take the call elsewhere so as not to disturb Aiden. However, before Anya could stand up, Aiden said while still closing his eyes, "Just do it here."
Hearing this, Anya sat back down and picked up the phone.
"Hello." She opened.
"Good evening, is this really Anya Tedjasukmana?" A stranger\'s voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes, true. To whom am I speaking?" Anya asked.
"We\'re from Rose Scent. We\'ve seen the resume you submitted. Do you really want to apply for a job as a perfumer assistant at our shop? Please come to our shop tomorrow morning at 10 am for a job interview." Said the man on the other end of the phone.
Anya felt very happy when she received the call. How could she not be happy when she got the chance to become a perfumer assistant where she wanted to be.
But the joy lasted only a moment. Anya immediately remembered her promise with Aiden. Tomorrow they would be on a date. Would it anger Aiden if she suddenly canceled it?
But she wanted this job so badly! What should she do?
"Hello? Anya? Can you come tomorrow?" The man asked again.
Anya glanced at Aiden who sat beside her. The man had already opened his eyes. He was holding his teacup and his gaze was not on Anya. The man was staring out the window and the look in his eyes was completely unreadable. Even so, Anya knew that Aiden was listening to her conversation.
In the end, Anya decided to answer. She couldn\'t pass up this opportunity. "Yes! I will come tomorrow. Thank you!" She must not turn down this very rare job interview opportunity.
Aiden frowned when he heard Anya answer the phone. It seemed that his wife would cancel the date with him.
Anya glanced again at Aiden and held the man\'s hand. "Aiden… Can we go pick flowers during the day? At night I will make Osmanthus cake and juice for you."
The wrinkles on Aiden\'s face deepened. He disliked seeing Anya break her promise, especially her date with him.
"The day is too hot to pick flowers." He replied sourly. Tomorrow was their first date!
Anya looked a little disappointed to hear Aiden\'s answer. Her face looked a little sad, "I really want this job. I\'ve been applying for a job as a perfumer assistant at Rose since the start of the semester break. They told me to come for a job interview at 10 tomorrow. I don\'t want to miss this." Anya said in a sad tone.
Her hand was still gently holding Aiden\'s. She would try to keep on persuading Aiden until she succeeded!
Aiden glanced at the woman beside him and said coldly, "Why don\'t you propose at Amore? Why do you prefer Rose over Amore?"
Amore was a subsidiary of the Atmajaya Group which specialized in beauty. However, when she heard the name Amore, Anya\'s face became gloomy.
She tried to smile, but her smile looked bitter, "I don\'t want to work there." Anya answered quietly.
She didn\'t want to offend Aiden, but she really didn\'t want to work there.
Aiden looked suspicious with Anya\'s vague answer as if she wanted to hide something. He didn\'t know why Anya didn\'t want to answer his question, but his intuition told him that Anya had a relationship with Amore. Or maybe Anya had applied for a job there but was rejected.
"If you want to work at Amore, I can arrange it for you." Aiden said. Finding a job for Anya in Amore was a very easy thing. After all, Aiden was in control of all Atmajaya Group companies.
Anya shook her head, "No. I do not want to work for Amore. I will be very happy if I make it through tomorrow\'s job interview." Anya said hopefully.
Aiden\'s eyes looked at Anya gently, "If that\'s your dream, then go after it. Try your best. Now that it\'s night, let\'s rest! Tomorrow you\'re going to go to a job interview early in the morning."
Anya turned her head and looked at Aiden\'s face in surprise, "You agree?" Her hand gripped Aiden\'s hand tighter and tighter.
"Hmm…" Aiden just nodded.
"Then, how about the date tomorrow?" Anya timidly asked.
"I\'ll go to the office for a bit in the morning. In the afternoon we can go to pick flowers." Aiden calmly replied.
Being too excited, Anya immediately jumped and hugged Aiden spontaneously. Her hands were wrapped around Aiden\'s neck and a big smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you!" She said in a voice that was a little loud because she was too excited.
Aiden was surprised for a moment, but he immediately returned the hug tightly. He buried his face on Anya\'s shoulder, inhaling her fragrance. If Anya was happy, he would also feel happy.
After feeling Aiden\'s hand tightly hugging her body, Anya realized what she had done. She stepped back and pulled herself away from Aiden, making Aiden lose the warmth he had just felt. However, Aiden was not annoyed. In fact, a faint smile appeared on his face when he saw Anya\'s face.
The woman looked so shy that her face was slightly flushed. It seemed that the woman began to notice his existence slowly, as a man not as a friend. He really liked that shy face.
Maybe their status as lovers also helped Anya realize that they had a relationship that was more than just friends.
Anya immediately rose to her feet awkwardly, trying to cover up the shame she felt at this time.
"I ... I\'m going to take a shower and sleep." She said. After that, she immediately ran to the second floor, holding her blushing face.
Aiden could only laugh at his wife\'s behavior.
That night, Anya slept soundly even though many things happened today. The good news she had received from Rose Scent made her able to forget about the incident with Deny and Natali that had occurred in this house.
She felt calm and safe, especially knowing that Aiden would protect her. She slept very soundly that night.
At one in the morning, Aiden\'s cell phone vibrated. Aiden woke up and immediately took his cellphone from the nightstand. He didn\'t want Anya to wake up hearing the vibrations of his cellphone. Then, he walked to the balcony and received the call from the balcony of his room...
