Chapter 303 - Confess
"If she works in this company, will she be able to finish all the work?" Harris frowned.
Nico's eyebrows rose at Harris complaining. Then, he gave him an unpredictable look. "If you can get support from my aunt, you won't be hampered by her work. In fact, my uncle's work efficiency will increase. In order to spend more time with my aunt, you will work twice as hard,"
??"Ah! That's true!" Harris just realized it.
He didn't go into Aiden's office. He waited until lunchtime to ask them what they wanted to eat, and at the same time sent a document that Aiden had to sign.
"I will work at the Atmajaya Group company soon. How about we have lunch at a restaurant for employees? I want to familiarize myself with the office environment first," Anya said.
"I'm with you," Aiden said.
"Sir, if you come to eat there, the employees will be surprised," Harris said.
Anya imagined what was going to happen if they were really going there. Everyone would look at them and their lunch would be uncomfortable.
"Then let me go with Harris downstairs and bring the food back to the office," Anya said.
"But ..."
"Aiden, read the document Harris gave you first. I'll probably come back before you finish it. Wait for me, I will bring delicious food for you!" Anya said sweetly.
"Alright then. Hurry back!" Aiden was reluctant. He really wanted to come down with Anya.
With a direction from Harris, Anya entered the elevator and prepared to go to the employee restaurant downstairs.
"Madame, Mr. Aiden intended to go home early and invited you to go to the hot springs. He also didn't want to take care of work on Saturdays and Sundays. If this matter reaches the ears of the company officials, I will be blamed. And his reputation will not be good," Harris informed Anya of the situation.
"Hot springs?" Anya was stunned for a moment. "Aiden didn't tell me anything,"
"Master once promised to take you to a hot spring before, but it was delayed for one reason or another. So, he intends to take you on vacation before you start college," Harris said.
"Is that why all of Aiden's work piles up? In that case, send me all of Aiden's work. I'll make sure Aiden finishes everything before we go," Anya said with a smile.
"Thank you Madam!" Harris breathed a sigh of relief. Nico said it right. As long as Anya wanted to help him, everything would be fine.
"You've worked hard," Anya felt a little sorry for Harris. Being Aiden's assistant was definitely not easy.
Bima disliked Anya from the start because of her small family background. If Aiden left work to take Anya on vacation, Bima would surely hate her even more.
"Madame, Mr Galih may come to the office later in the afternoon," Harris warned Anya.
"I will not interfere in business matters. I won't say anything," Anya immediately understood what Harris wanted to warn her.
Harris immediately nodded.
Yesterday, Aiden had been working all night until dawn. This afternoon, he wanted to take a nap with Anya, so he concentrated on reading the documents sent by Harris.
However, his cell phone suddenly rang. The call was from Galih Pratama.
"Aiden, can I have lunch with you this afternoon?" Galih's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm going to have lunch with Anya," Aiden replied casually.
"I'm glad your relationship is going well." Galih breathed a sigh of relief, then he continued, "I want to see you,"
"What can I do for you?" Aiden asked straight to the point.
"The news that you are back with Keara has been causing trouble for you. If the news makes you angry, I can ask someone to clarify everything," Galih said.
"No need. I've finished everything," Aiden said coldly.
"Keara said that you want my garden land near the lake area. Is that true?" Galih said after thinking carefully. "The place is far from the Atmajaya Group development project's location. The place is near the hogs' farm with an awful smell. Besides, my spices also have a strong smell. But the owner of the pig farm refused to sell his land. My garden there couldn't produce good spices. If you really want it, I can give it to you at a low price,"
"What are the conditions for obtaining that land at a low price?" Aiden asked.
"Sell the shares of my company in your hands and tonight I will raise the share price so that conditions return to normal," Galih did not cover up what he wanted.
Aiden's long fingers tapped the surface of his desk casually and said, "I don't have your company stock in my hands.
"Aiden, Keara loves you too much. She even wants to cancel her engagement to be with you. I will advise her. If she does something like this again, you can tell me. I'll keep her from acting up," Galih said, humbling himself even though he was facing someone younger than him like Aiden.
"Your daughter is my brother's fiancée. She knew very well that Anya and I were married, but she still insisted and wanted to destroy our marriage. You must already know who sent the photo to the internet. There is something else I want from her. But I'll keep it until we talk again next time. See you later," Aiden didn't give Galih a chance to talk and immediately hung up on him.
…
Galih looked at his daughter. "Last night's picture was your doing, right? Aiden wants something else from you. Where is Nadine now?"
No need for Aiden to say it directly, Galih already knew what he wanted.
"Father, believe me. The pictures on the internet weren't my doing. And the problem with Nadine, when the accident happened to us, she ran away and left me. How am I supposed to know where she is!" Keara felt like she was being accused.
"Keara, I'm really grateful that you came back safely. But if you don't tell the truth to dad, I'm afraid that no one will be able to help you," Galih took a deep breath. "If Aiden wants my land, I'll sell it to him. If Aiden wants to know where Nadine is, I can only hand you over to him,"
"No, father! I am your only daughter. How could you have the heart to hand me over to Aiden?" Keara looked at her father in disbelief.
"Where do you go when your mother and I feel sad? What's the reason you didn't come back all this time without telling anyone about your situation? After three years passed, you just came back now. What do you really want?" Galih asked.
"I… I heard Aiden canceled his engagement to Natali. But when I returned, I found that he was married to Anya," Keara said angrily.
"You know that they are married! Give up already!" Galih said.
Tears welled up in Keara's eyes as she said, "The news circulating on the internet... It's true that I did it."
Galih could only take a deep breath. He really couldn't think of what else he could do about his daughter. "Aiden will not make our company's shares drop drastically like this just because of a minor problem. What else are you doing?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Keara said, "He must have been investigating when I was abroad for three years and suspected that I was hiding the truth about Nadine,"
Galih felt really dizzy from hearing that. It felt as if he almost fainted at his daughter's words. "As long as I live, I have always taught you how to do good. How could my own daughter turn out like this? Be honest with me, does Nadine's disappearance have anything to do with you?"
