Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 136 - Partner

"If you don't marry Raisa, would you want to break your friendship with Raka? When I wasn't home, you took Raka to your house instead. I haven't punished you for that one yet." Aiden said as he looked at Nico coldly. He had given a message to Nico to take care of Anya and keep Raka away from her. How could his nephew even bring a wolf into the cage!

"Uncle, I swear I only brought Raka to my house to accompany me. I never allowed him to meet with Auntie!" Nico tried to explain while raising his hand.

"Mr. Nico, when Mr. Raka was staying at your house, he was standing in front of Mr. and Mrs.'s house very early in the morning for quite a long time." Harris immediately warned him. If Nico continued to deny it, the situation would get worse.

"What?" Nico was stunned.

Aiden just looked at Nico coldly. His eyes looked like those of a stupid child. Unfortunately, this stupid child was a member of his family.

"Go now." Aiden walked toward his office, while Harris called Esther.

Esther heard that Aiden had finished the meeting and immediately followed Harris to go to his office.

"This way, Mrs. Esther. Would you like tea or coffee?" Harris asked politely.

"Just tea. Thank you." Esther replied.

After Harris left, Aiden got up from his chair and headed to the sofa.

Esther watched Aiden closely. Everyone said that Aiden was blind, but from the way he walked, this man looked completely normal.

"My eyes are not completely blind. I'm just afraid of the light." Aiden said.

"Oh!" Esther nodded, "Looks like Anya doesn't know that you can see."

"Hmm… You must know something about Imel. I'm planning something for her. So I keep this a secret from everyone, including Anya." Aiden frankly told her.

Esther's expression stiffened at once, "But why don't you hide it from me?"

"I will always be honest with my colleagues." Aiden said.

"I was in a car accident three years ago and my memory is damaged. I can't remember many scents. I couldn't even launch a new product in the last three years."

"I've heard about the accident. Imel made someone do it." Aiden said, looking straight at Esther.

Esther only smiled bitterly, "Imel has the support of the Atmajaya family. I can't fight her."

"That's why I call you a partner. I want you to guide Anya and develop Rose Scent as quickly as possible, dominating the entire market. I want to buy Amore." Aiden said.

"Anya is very talented. I don't have anything else to teach her, but I'll try my best to help her." Esther said as she looked at Aiden, "So, are you going to employ me for one year?"

"No, I invite you to cooperate and join Rose Scent. You are not an employee, but my work partner. You work for yourself." Aiden told Esther his offer.

Of course Esther would not refuse the offer. She got the opportunity to have Rose Scent again. It didn't matter even if she didn't get to share the full ownership of the shop.

The woman immediately nodded and agreed to Aiden's offer.

"Harris will bring a lawyer and explain the details to you." When Aiden just said it, Harris was already stepping into the room.

When Esther saw Harris and the lawyer coming, she laughed and said, "How did you know that I agreed to be your partner?"

"Because I know you understand other people and won't waste your effort. You also won't be willing to leave the Rose Scent that you built with your own labor." Aiden said with a smile, "I have to go."

"Okay. Thank you for meeting me." Esther stood up as Aiden was about to leave, but she couldn't stop herself from asking, "Does Anya know the relationship between Imel and the Atmajaya Family?"

Aiden stopped walking. His face looked a little gloomy and his voice sounded low, "Anya doesn't know. I don't want to burden her mind."

"I'll keep it a secret!" Esther said.

When she learned about Anya and Aiden's relationship, Esther was also very surprised. If Anya knew about the relationship between Imel and the Atmajaya Family, Anya would definitely not want to marry Aiden and become part of his family.

Everyone knew that Imel kicked Diana out of Amore in the meanest of ways, slandering her for stealing the perfume formula. And what happened to Diana, which caused Diana to lose her smell, was all related to Imel.

Her divorce, her accident, her downfall, they were all the work of Imel. And because of Imel too, Diana had to lose the protection of the Tedjasukmana Family.

Even though some people knew that Diana was slandered, they didn't dare to defend her because the person behind Imel was the head of the Atmajaya family, Bima Atmajaya.

As a parfumeur, Esther's career had been ruined by her accident. Which parfumeur couldn't remember scents?

Everything that happened to Diana, Esther, or Anya was all the work of Imel.

If Aiden hadn't arrived in time, Anya would have been accused of stealing the perfume recipe. No company would want to employ Anya in the future.

Esther believed there was a more complicated problem behind this.

But now, it was Aiden who held full power over the Atmajaya Group. He didn't want to leave Imel alone, so the woman wouldn't be able to live in peace.

Esther was willing to cooperate with Aiden and guide Anya to become her successor. She hoped that this talented girl would not be buried under the mountain of problems just like that.

….

Aiden left his company with Abdi to pick up Anya. He did not get out of the car. He stayed inside and closed his eyes while taking a break, waiting for Abdi to pick up Anya.

Anya had just finished interviewing the new assistant parfumeur candidate with Mila. When she came downstairs, she saw Abdi was waiting for her.

"Is Aiden here?" Asked Anya while looking around.

"Master is waiting for you in the car, Madame." Abdi answered respectfully.

When Anya heard that Aiden was waiting for her in the car, she immediately told Abdi to immediately return to the car while she changed clothes.

She didn't dare to linger because she knew Aiden was the type who disliked waiting the most. She immediately changed her clothes and took her bag out.

Before Anya left, Mila approached her and asked, "Anya, what do you think about the candidate for assistant parfumeur earlier?"

"His knowledge is not good enough. He did not understand the basic ingredients. Instead of accepting outsiders who don't understand anything, I suggest that we train employees who are already working at Rose Scent." Anya said as she walked out.

Mila continued to follow her and said, "I have an idea. What if all the employees take turns to guard the area in the shop? So everyone will know how to guide customers in perfume manufacturing."

"Yes! That is what I mean. Mrs. Esther and I will create a new product. Meanwhile, employees can help customers with existing recipes." Anya said as she continued walking toward the mall door.

"When Mrs. Esther returns, I will tell her this and start training as soon as possible. I will train everyone before your school starts." Mila said.

When Aiden saw Anya's arrival, he immediately opened the door. However, just as he was about to speak, he heard Anya say to Mila, "All employees in the three branches will take turns to undergo training. All those who pass the training with good results will receive a salary increase of thirty percent and sign a three-year employment contract. Tell them, by following Aiden Atmajaya, they will never go hungry."

"Mrs. Atmajaya, if Aiden Atmajaya was starving, how could he pay the employees?" Aiden's big hands wrapped around Anya's waist. His cold lips were very close to Anya's ears, making her body shudder...
