Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 128 - The New Owner

"Using Aiden's power to defeat Imel. Is that my goal? Or your goal?" Esther asked, looking at Anya.

Anya's face looked a little wobbly. She knew she couldn't hide this from Esther because it was true what Esther said. She was the one who wanted to bring down Imel. She wanted to destroy Imel just like when Imel destroyed her mother.

But Anya didn't have enough power to do that now. She desperately needed Esther's help. Esther could endure years of resistance from Imel and it was not something easy to do.

"Miss Esther, can you reconsider? I will listen to all your decisions for the Rose Scent." Anya's voice was low and sounded a little begging.

Esther narrowed her eyes, seemingly hesitating about Anya's offer, "What is your relationship with Aiden? I need to know your relationship to make sure what Aiden can do for you."

Anya didn't say anything. Instead, she took out her cell phone and showed Esther a photo.

When Esther looked at Aiden and Anya's marriage book, her eyes showed the shock she felt at this time, "Y-… You already…"

"I still haven't graduated so I can't reveal this in public." Anya explained while looking at Esther. She was able to tell Esther about this for one thing, "My mom really trusts you. She said you used to be her trusted assistant."

"I have a very good relationship with your mother." Esther said with a smile, "You have already told me the most important thing for you, how could I not believe you? I'll help you so that you can take care of the Rose Scent by yourself."

"Thank you, Mrs. Esther." Anya could finally breathe freely.

"Harris said, Rose Scent will change its name to yours. I suggest we don't change the name before a new product is launched." Esther said.

Anya smiled when she heard the suggestion as she also had the same opinion, "I'll try to persuade Aiden not to change the name Rose Scent." Then, she took out a perfume sample from her bag and said, "I would like to ask your advice to assess this perfume sample."

"Did you make it?" Esther leaned forward, indicating that she was interested in what Anya had to say.

Rose Scent sold a perfume that was created by Esther several years ago. She couldn't rely on this perfume forever and must immediately create new products.

All this time, Esther had been trying to find and train new perfumeurs to create new flavors that were catering to today's trend. However, Imel also continued to compete with her so that Rose Scent had difficulty developing.

"Aiden promised to grant my wish if I could make a perfume he liked. This is a perfume sample I made for him. This perfume has a neutral aroma and does not have a floral aroma." Anya said while pushing the perfume sample towards Esther.

Esther immediately accepted the perfume bottle and opened it. She inhaled the perfume and closed her eyes.

"What does Aiden think?"

"Aiden is not a professional. I want to hear your assessment." Anya said with a grimace.

"You are indeed Diana's daughter. I really liked the perfume you made before. And of course I love this one. I'm sure Aiden would like it too." Esther said.

Anya's face turned red when she heard the woman praised her. Esther was an influential person in the perfumery field, so her compliment meant a lot to Anya, "Aiden likes fresh and elegant scents. I made this perfume sample according to his personality so that there is no floral scent in it."

"My new perfume recipe is out. I don't think we can use that perfume. How about we introduce your perfume as a new product at a mall event "

"But the preparation is not enough." Anya said. She was surprised to hear Esther's suggestion and really appreciated Esther's assessment of her perfume. But they didn't have time to prepare everything.

"Is that a problem? Preparing for a new perfume's manufacturer usually takes about two months. But you have Aiden. You can do it in two days." Esther said with a laugh.

"Eh? But… "Anya felt bad about asking for help from Aiden. Again.

"Aiden has already spent his money to buy a Rose Scent and he definitely hopes that you take care of it well. If the event this time is a success, he will also benefit. If you can't ask him for help, I can find my friend to help you." Esther said.

When she heard this, Anya immediately agreed to Esther's suggestion, "Thank you, ma'am. Let me receive help from you first. If this one really can't, I'll ask Aiden for help."

"Don't thank me first. Your perfume formula still needs to be adjusted. You created it according to Aiden's personality, but we have to adapt it again according to our customer's tastes."

"It's time we put out a new product." Esther gave her a serious look, "Anya, tonight the new perfume sample must be ready!"

Anya bit her lower lip restlessly, but her eyes looked determined, "Okay, I will do my best."

Around five in the afternoon, news came from the police station. The missing CCTV footage had been restored. 

Ben also confessed that he took the initiative to steal the perfume recipe from Esther's drawer and put it in Anya's bag to slander her. He denied it when the police asked if anyone had ordered him to. The jealousy he felt caused him to slander Anya.

He was jealous because Anya was just a new kid but won Esther's trust in such a short time, while he had worked for five years and was still in the same position.

After the results of the investigation came out, the official website of the police station issued a statement of the investigation's result and cleared Anya's name of the allegations.

At the same time, Esther also issued a statement on the internet that someone had bribed her employees to steal her perfume recipe. Esther claimed that she had registered a patent for the perfume. Anyone who dared to use the perfume recipe for personal gain would be prosecuted under legal lawsuit.

Anya spent her time inside the perfume room. She had absolutely no idea about the news of the theft incident. All of her attention was focused on the perfume she created.

When Esther came home around six in the evening, Anya was still busy with herself inside the perfume room.

At exactly seven in the evening, Aiden appeared at the Rose Scent. All employees there immediately felt nervous seeing the man's presence.

Mila, the new shop manager, immediately greeted him warmly and said very politely, "Welcome, sir. Miss Anya is in the perfume room on the second floor.

Aiden just nodded coldly and walked to the second floor accompanied by Harris.

The other employees immediately gathered to gossip. Some of them were very jealous to see Aiden especially come to send Anya's dinner. They felt that Anya was so lucky that Aiden bought a Rose Scent for her.

About a week ago, Anya was just a new employee who was still on probation. But now, she was the owner of Rose Scent.

Aiden walked to the glass window that showed the whole perfume room. His wife was seen working hard. All her attention was so focused on her work that she was completely unaware of his arrival.

Anya's figure sitting under the lamp seemed to glow in Aiden's eyes. His wife was radiant when she did the work she loved. A faint smile crossed Aiden's lips.

After a while, Anya stretched out her hand. Her whole body felt stiff because she was staying in the same position for quite a while. Suddenly, she saw a tall figure by the glass window.

"Aiden!" Anya immediately got up from her chair and approached him. A smile spread across her face when she saw Aiden's arrival at her workplace.

Aiden was still standing in the same place, staring at where Anya was working, pretending not to know that Anya had moved and approached him.

"You are here." Anya said, holding Aiden's hand gently.

"Harris said you are still working. I just wanted to see you." Aiden said calmly.

"You've come to see me?" Anya teased him.

"Hmm ... I can imagine you working." Aiden looked at her with a smile and changed the subject, "Are you hungry?"

Anya smelled the food and looked straight at Aiden with a bright smile, "You brought me food?" Her question was greeted with a nod from Aiden's head.

"Have you done the handover of Rose Scent with Esther?"
