BXBX NOVEL Chapter 199 - Iris
"Can we go together again?"
"Next week, I'll take you to the hot springs. We can go on Friday and come back on Sunday," Aiden said.
Anya immediately nodded with excitement.
During the trip home, Anya fell asleep in the car. Aiden sat in the front passenger seat, occasionally turning his head back to see his wife.
As she fell asleep, Anya's mouth curled slightly into a smile. Nobody knew what she was dreaming of right now.
"Sir, I saw Mrs. Imel. But she didn't see me." Abdi said.
"Imel? What is she doing here?" Aiden was immediately alert.
"I was eating together with several people. I saw someone who looked like Mr. Ivan. But I didn't hear the news of Mr. Ivan's return." Abdi said doubtfully.
Aiden immediately called Harris, "Ivan came back earlier than scheduled. Find out who he met."
"Mr. Bima's birthday party hasn't arrived yet. Something must have been wrong so Mr. Ivan came sooner. Sir, where are you? Hurry back and be careful during the trip." Harris said.
"I was on my way home, Abdi saw Imel and Ivan eating at Mid Valley Villa. Check the CCTV of the place." Aiden ordered.
"Fine, I'll check it out!" Even though today was his day off, Harris continued to carry out his duties without delay.
Ten minutes later, he sent CCTV footage to Aiden's cell phone. It was true, Ivan had returned to Indonesia.
Harris called Aiden back, "Sir, Mr. Ivan returned home quietly this time. He didn't tell the Atmajaya family his return and didn't see Miss Keara either."
"Watch his movements and find out what he is doing. I don't want to see him coming to dad's birthday party. Get him back overseas as soon as possible." Aiden said coldly.
"If cooperation with Dubai can be achieved, he will not have time to return for Mr. Bima's birthday party. Sir, Dubai's market starts to develop when you oversee an overseas branch company. Everyone will recognize you. I think you have to go there." Harris said.
"Get me a plane ticket to Dubai tomorrow." Aiden said calmly.
"Well. I will keep an eye on Mr. Ivan." Harris replied.
"Hmm... Where did Raka go last night?" Aiden felt Raka's engagement sounded strange so he asked Harris to check it out.
Before dinner, Aiden found out the whole story.
After Raka left Aiden's house, he went to the bar and drank himself until he got drunk. After getting drunk, the bar clerk used Raka's cell phone to call someone to pick him up and what a coincidence, the person calling was Natali!
Natali took the opportunity to take Raka to the hotel and also called reporters to take their photos.
Mahendra's family was forced to announce their engagement to avoid scandal.
When he heard the news, Aiden felt a little relieved. At least, now Raka was engaged.
Natali would look after Raka so he couldn't meet Anya again. Now, he could go to Dubai in peace.
"Mrs. Hana, let Anya rest. There's no need to call her for dinner." Aiden said, "Please help Anya to clean all the plants she carries."
When dinner arrived, Aiden came down alone because he saw that Anya did not wake up at all. Before leaving his room, he kissed her on the lips gently, making sure that he didn't wake her up. He let Anya rest until morning.
...
The next morning, Anya woke up at nine o'clock.
She didn't see Aiden in the room so she thought Aiden went to his office.
She walked to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. While washing her face, she suddenly remembered something.
When she slept this morning, she vaguely heard that Aiden said goodbye to her to go abroad...
Anya immediately rinsed her face and came out of the bathroom. She entered the locker room and saw that Aiden's suitcase had disappeared.
She immediately went to bed and took her cellphone on the nightstand. She called Aiden, but her phone was off.
There was a voice message left by Aiden, "Anya, I have to go away for a few days because the company is busy. I'll be back on Friday and we'll still go."
When knowing this, Anya felt a little frustrated. Why did a president director have to be this busy? Aiden just came back from overseas a few days ago and now he had to go again?
It looked like things like this would continue in the future!
She must learn to adapt. She did not marry an ordinary man. Aiden was the CEO of the Atmajaya Group so he didn't have much time to accompany her.
But why was she still feeling a little disappointed?
Every day, Aiden always met many people, including great and influential people. Anya had to work hard to move forward so that she could become a woman worthy of accompanying Aiden.
When her studies start in September later, she would go on an internship to Aiden's office so she would have more time to meet and learn from Aiden.
After thinking about her plan, Anya was no longer as depressed as before. She immediately took a shower and changed her clothes, then went down to breakfast. After that, she immediately went to the Rose Scent.
Abdi escorted Anya to the front entrance of the mall. When Anya was about to come down, Abdi said, "Madame, Master asked me to pick you up at five o'clock."
Anya immediately nodded.
When she arrived at the Rose Scent, she found that the shop's name had changed to Iris. Anya asked Aiden not to use her name directly, but to use the flower name which was her and her mother's favorite.
Anya's first product was very successful. Aiden took the opportunity to announce the change of ownership and instruct his employees to change the name and design of the Rose Scent logo to Iris in one night.
He didn't tell Anya what he was doing.
Anya stood in front of the shop in a mood that cannot be described in words.
Iris...
This shop was hers, what Aiden gave her...
A smile crossed her lips as she stepped inside.
...
The next few days, Anya devoted herself to work. She arranged for several employees to take turns in class.
Esther was responsible for overseeing the operations of the three Iris branches and also mentoring Anya in perfume making. Due to an accident she had experienced, she couldn't make her own perfume and had to rely on Anya.
Anya brought the honey that Nico got to Iris. Together with Esther, she made a new kind of aromatherapy candle. The launch was very successful and the aromatherapy candles were very much loved by the customers.
After that, Anya launched an aromatherapy eye mask with a high price because it contained herbal ingredients.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they were launched, the masks were sold out.
As long as the new product was made by Anya, everyone would flock to buy it.
In addition, all the products made by Anya were of high quality and there were not many of them, so that everyone was scrambling to get them.
Apart from that, Maria, Aiden's sister-in-law who was a famous painter in Indonesia, also joined as a VIP member of Iris. She even promoted Anya's perfume and said that she really liked her handmade products.
As a well-known painter, Maria was known as a figure with class and high taste. She rarely promoted anything on her social media accounts.
This promotion made everyone flock to become VIP members of Iris. Socialites also wanted to have a unique perfume for themselves.
"Mrs. Esther, many people have made appointments with me and want to ask for a special perfume." Anya said in distress.
She didn't have time to finish all of this!
"What if we make an online questionnaire and tell customers to fill in their personal data. With that, we can choose which customers can make an appointment with Iris." Esther suggested.
"But didn't it take a long time to go through all those questionnaires?" Anya asked worriedly.
"I can help you select customers who have the potential to raise Iris's name." Esther replied.
"Alright then. What if the reservation price is two million rupiah?" Anya asked.
"Isn't it too expensive? At that price, not many people would make appointments…" Esther said.
