BXBX NOVEL Chapter 171 - Forgotten Gift
Anya followed Aiden towards the president director\'s office. During the trip, she met many people greeting Aiden. These people occasionally stole glances at Anya, watching the lover brought by their superior.
Anya could only look down embarrassed with a thin smile without saying anything.
After entering the president director\'s office, Aiden said to Harris. "I am tired. If nothing is urgent, don\'t bother me."
"Yes, sir." Harris walked out of Aiden\'s office. Before he had time to leave the floor, he saw Nico emerge from Aiden\'s private elevator.
"Harris, I heard my uncle brought auntie to the office?" Nico asked, looking curiously at Aiden\'s office door.
"Mr. Nico, Mr. Aiden is resting. Please don\'t shout too loud." Harris frowned. He had just received orders not to disturb Aiden, but the number one bully came right away!
"People said, Uncle picked up my aunt because she was in trouble again. She really is attracting problems like a magnet." Nico said, ignoring Harris\'s warning.
"Master asked not to be disturbed if there is nothing urgent." Harris conveyed Aiden\'s message with a flat face.
"I have important things to say right now." Nico passed Harris and walked toward Aiden\'s office. He ignored Harris as if the man was just a passing wind.
"Uncle, can I come in?" He said, knocking on the door.
"If I say no, will you go?" Aiden grumbled from inside the room.
"No!" Nico entered Aiden\'s office and saw Anya sitting on the sofa holding a plastic filled with ice to compress her head. "Hello, auntie!"
"Who is your aunt? Am I not a problem\'s magnet?" Anya said irritably.
"Can you hear me? Harris said it. He may look good in front of you, but behind him he calls you a trouble\'s magnet. I\'ll punish him later." Nico said, pretending.
Anya glared at Nico then called Aiden, "Aiden, your nephew said I was a trouble\'s magnet."
Aiden looked up and stared at Anya with a gentle gaze, "It is okay. I like trouble." He said with a smile.
Nico could only stroke his chest when he saw the conversation between his uncle and aunt, "Ouch, it hurts! Why does it feel like there are a thousand arrows stabbing my heart?" He said, dramatizing. His hands were still on his chest while he pretended to be passed out.
"You deserve the Oscar trophy." Anya sneered.
"That\'s right, maybe I could get that trophy many times if I became an actor." Nico said with a serious face.
"Quickly say what you want." Aiden sat beside Anya and took the plastic ice she was holding. He took out his handkerchief and wrapped the ice plastic wrap with a handkerchief so it wouldn\'t be too cold, then put it back on Anya\'s forehead.
Nico immediately let go of his naughty expression and suddenly put on a serious face, "I just got information that someone saw Keara at the airport."
Aiden was not surprised when he heard this because he had seen Keara before, "Finally, she came back. Don\'t worry. Wait for her until she calls us." Aiden said calmly.
"Why did she suddenly come back? How did she survive the accident? And why did she come back alone?" Nico asked grimly.
"I\'ll ask her when I meet her." Aiden said calmly.
"Don\'t you like Keara?" Anya asked Nico. She saw Nico\'s expression and concluded he wasn\'t too happy. Shouldn\'t he be happy that his uncle\'s fiancée was still alive? Even though they were just engaged, Keara would one day become part of their family.
"If you found out what Keara did to Uncle, you wouldn\'t like it either." Nico said, looking at Aiden. "Uncle, why didn\'t you tell Auntie? Keara is back. Sooner or later, they will meet."
Aiden looked at his wife who leaned on his arms. His hands played with Anya\'s hair, twirling it with one finger. But he didn\'t intend to tell her.
"Aiden, are you hiding something from me?" In her heart, Anya was always on guard against Keara. Now, hearing Nico\'s words, it looked like there really was a connection between Aiden and Keara.
"At first, Keara was Uncle\'s date. But on the night of their engagement, she suddenly turned to Uncle Ivan and became engaged to Uncle Ivan. Until now, Uncle and Uncle Ivan had a bad relationship because of that woman." Nico said irritably.
Anya was stunned to hear this. Then she asked, "Didn\'t you say Aiden had never been in love?"
"Yes, that\'s why Keara changed her mind. She thought Uncle couldn\'t be nice and spoil women. She felt that Uncle would never love her so she decided to choose another man. Natali also thinks that my Uncle is flawed and cruel. Auntie, only you are willing to accept Uncle as he is. Please never stop loving him." Nico was arguably the best matchmaker.
Anya just smiled awkwardly while scratching her head which was not itchy.
In truth, she didn\'t like Aiden\'s bad temper either. The man was always arrogant, cruel and difficult to persuade. Everything must go according to his wish.
But Aiden also had good qualities. He was very sincere to Anya. He always tried to put himself in Anya\'s place and always paid attention to her.
Although Raka was also kind to Anya, Raka\'s kindness was not something she wanted.
"I\'m just blind, it\'s not like I can\'t hear what you are talking about." Aiden said coldly.
"I didn\'t say anything. Nico said everything." Anya immediately blamed Nico.
"Auntie, I\'m giving you information regarding my uncle\'s love history so that you don\'t misunderstand. Why are you blaming me now?" Nico grumbled, "Keara is Uncle Ivan\'s fiancée. Sooner or later, you will meet her. Auntie just needs to understand that only you are loved by my uncle!"
"I was relieved when you said it. Actually, I\'m always worried because everyone says I look like Keara." Anya honestly said.
"How can you be similar? The woman\'s eyes were as sly as a fox. She was thin and tall like a log. Meanwhile, auntie has almond-like eyes, round and shiny. Of course Auntie is much prettier than her!" Nico was used to flirting with women.
"You really are a playboy. If you have nothing to say again, go away!" Aiden said coldly. He didn\'t like seeing other men seduce Anya, even if it\'s his own nephew.
"Uncle, I\'m helping you to please Auntie. You don\'t even thank me and throw me out." Nico looked sad, "If I interfere, I\'ll go."
Anya waved her hand, "Go."
"I\'m really going." Nico pretended to walk toward the door, glancing behind him.
"Go!" Aiden said coldly.
"Auntie, have you forgotten something? Didn\'t you say you would give me a present if I help you?" Finally Nico asked about the gift promised by Anya because Anya did not discuss it at all.
Anya turned towards Aiden, "Aiden, did I ever say that?"
"No." Aiden replied curtly.
Nico was annoyed, "You said, as long as I help you get your new product approval procedures, you will give me something I want!"
"Oh! I wanted to give you a bottle of perfume, but I forgot. And now the perfume is sold out." Anya said, grimacing.
"Then, I want another gift. I\'m going to have a barbecue party at your house this weekend!" Nico said as he studied Aiden\'s face.
"No!" Aiden refused without hesitation.
"Uncle, don\'t be mean to me." Nico pleaded.
Anya held Aiden\'s hand gently and shook it softly. She said slightly spoiled, "Aiden, I also want to eat barbecue. Can you allow Nico this time?"
Nico could only sneer. He felt sorry for himself, who until now still had no girlfriend but had to witness the intimacy of his uncle and aunt in front of his eyes. It didn\'t feel like his heart was strong enough for this!
"If you can invite Natali and Raka, I will allow you." Aiden said in the end.
