BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87 - Matchmaking
Aiden really wanted to hug Anya. The woman looked sad and vulnerable in front of him. But he knew Anya would not like it so Aiden could only restrain himself.
Finally, he took Anya's hand and invited her to go to his office. This was the second time Anya entered Aiden's office. In her first time, she couldn't see the view from the large window in Aiden's office because the curtains covered it. However, this time the curtains were wide open, showing a panoramic view of the entire city.
'Too bad Aiden couldn't see this…'
"I'm going to accompany Nico to meet the client. I'll be back when I'm done." Said Aiden.
"Eh? You're going to leave me here alone?" Anya looked around, "Aren't there a lot of important documents in this place…?"
"You won't be leaking company secrets." Aiden said casually.
Anya was pleased with the trust Aiden placed in her. She looked at Aiden with a smile, "I will not disappoint you."
At that moment, Nico's voice came from the door. Nico peeked through the crack in Aiden's office door, "Uncle, can we go now?"
Aiden turned and looked at Nico's face in annoyance, "Didn't you run away together with Raisa?"
Nico just grinned and played dumb, "I didn't see Raisa at all. Auntie, have you seen Raisa?"
"I ..." Anya was stunned for a moment at the sudden question. Then, she replied calmly, "I don't see her."
Anya recalled Aiden pouring hot water on Natali when they had an argument. She didn't want it to happen again. She better lied.
Harris covered his mouth and was silent when he saw Nico and Anya trying to defend Raisa. After all, Aiden had already fired a group of employees for Anya. Harris didn't want anything else to happen again.
"You don't see her either?" Aiden snorted. Since when did these three people agree without saying anything?
"No, uncle. I do not see her. Did you see her?" Nico asked on purpose.
Anya immediately turned to Aiden, "Aiden, can you see?" She asked with a surprised expression.
"No." Aiden replied. He said it a little quietly, pretending to be sad so that his secret wouldn't be exposed.
Aiden knew that Raisa did all this, but he couldn't say. He couldn't let Anya know about his lie.
"Sir, your client has arrived!" Harris said suddenly, saving Aiden from his wife's suspicion.
Aiden held Anya's head and stroked her, "You must be tired. Go to the room and wash up. You can also rest for a while. I will be right back!"
"Hmm, alright, go. I'll be waiting for you." Anya's voice was soft, tickling Aiden's heart. The voice made Aiden not want to join the meeting. Supposedly, he let Nico go alone.
He said goodbye, but he was reluctant to leave his room.
When Harris saw this situation, he immediately looked at Nico. His eyes seemed to send a signal for Nico to help him, 'Mr. Nico, if you don't ask Mr. Aiden away immediately, you will have to deal with your client on your own.'
Nico received Harris's signal clearly. Seeing Aiden was reluctant to leave the place, he stepped forward and pulled Aiden's hand, "Uncle, come on quickly. I'll help you down." They walked towards the lift, while Anya followed them behind.
Before the elevator door closed, Anya stood in her place, waving and smiling. "I'm looking forward to our dinner."
Aiden let go of Nico's hand and intended to get down when he saw him, "You met this client yourself." He said.
"Uncle, I promise that after our client signs his work contract, I will let you come back. I'll take care of the rest!" After hearing Anya's sweet last words and seeing her aunt wave, Nico knew he was bound to get into big trouble. It was as if his uncle was in his aunt's grip. Whatever Anya wanted, Aiden would immediately do it without thinking twice.
Aiden was already captivated by Anya's beauty so he didn't care about important work like the signing of this contract.
Without waiting for Aiden's answer, Nico immediately pressed the elevator button. He didn't let go of Aiden's hand until the elevator door closed.
"Uncle, I know why you like her so much." Nico wiped the cold sweat that had started rolling down his forehead. He almost had to face the client alone.
Aiden asked seriously, "Are all the documents complete? I have to go immediately to have dinner with Anya."
"People say, even the devil will be defeated in the end..." Nico muttered. He was talking about his uncle. His cold and cruel uncle, his uncle who was fierce and stern, was already intoxicated because of a tiny woman waiting for him in his office.
Aiden just stared at Nico sharply after hearing his nephew's words.
"What I said is true! Uncle has fallen into your aunt's hands." Nico shifted away from Aiden. He pressed his body against the wall of the elevator, trying to keep the distance as far as possible from this one demon.
"You thought I wouldn't mind when you took Raisa away?" Said Aiden with a snort. Maybe he wouldn't talk about it in front of Anya, but that didn't mean he would just forget about it.
"Uncle, why don't you just forget about it? After all, aunt also doesn't mind." Said Nico with a laugh. He walked following Aiden out of the elevator.
"You really care about Raisa. Are you in love with her?" Aiden asked.
Nico almost choked on his own saliva at the question, "Uncle, don't scare me."
"After I canceled my engagement to the Tedjasukmana family, the Mahendra family said they wanted to marry off their daughter, Raisa, to our family. I am married. So, only you can be her partner. Besides, your ages are equal. I think you will fit her. I'll discuss it with your mother later…" Aiden said, considering it. He seemed to want to throw Nico into the lion's den.
"Uncle, I was wrong. Forgive me. I'll hear you next time." Nico begged Aiden for mercy.
He didn't want to marry a fierce woman like Raisa. In his life, he had never seen such a woman. He didn't want to spend all his life nagging and scolding her.
He had known Raka since he was a child, so he knew very well what Raisa was like. He would not be able to survive if he had to marry someone like her.
"You can't run away. You are the most suitable person for Mahendra's family." Said Aiden casually.
"I have a girlfriend." Nico said hurriedly.
"No. You don't have a girlfriend." Said Aiden.
"I'm going to find a girlfriend right now." Nico didn't give up. He really didn't want to be arranged with Raisa, "Uncle Ivan is also single. How about pairing Uncle Ivan with Raisa when he returns?"
"No." Said Aiden firmly.
"Why not?" Nico whined. Why should he be the victim of an arranged marriage? Why should he…
Aiden's eyes narrowed slightly, "If Ivan marries Raisa, it will be even more dangerous for us..."
"But I also don't want to marry Raisa. I like a soft and sweet woman like Auntie!" Aiden turned to Nico when he heard his answer.
Oops… It looked like Nico accidentally flipped the switch on his uncle…
