Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 377 - No Need To Get Dirty Hands

"Everyone in the secretary's office will hate me even more," Anya said with a laugh, but actually she was also feeling a little anxious.

Harris looked into the president director's office and then said, "If they humiliate you again and you don't feel comfortable telling him, just tell me. I will take care of them,"

"That's good," replied Anya happily. Aiden had been very busy lately. She didn't want to bother him with trivial matters like this.

"Mr. Nico succeeded in persuading Mr. Raka to cooperate. The master may invite you to go to Mr. Raka's engagement party. Are you willing though?" Harris asked.

"Fine with me. Although I don't want anything to do with the Tedjasukmana Family, Raka has always helped me. At least as a friend, I have to attend his engagement party," Anya replied casually.

Her relationship with Raka had long ended. At first, she was worried that Aiden would be jealous.

But considering that Raka had repeatedly helped her in the past as well as his status as Nico's best friend, Anya felt like she should come. Moreover, the Atmajaya Group and the Mahendra Family would work together soon.

After all, she would come to the party with Aiden.

Aiden wouldn't care about her past with Raka because the only man she loved was her husband.

After two days of hard work, Aiden finally finished all his work right before the day off.

He planned to take Anya to a hot spring and maybe stay a night or two. Nico had also planned his vacation. All he needed to do was wait for Raka's engagement party and then went on a vacation.

At night, Anya was lying on the bed with Aiden.

"Aiden, you are very busy these days. Why not let Nico help you?"

"I've promised to give him a day off as long as he can invite Raka to work together. When he comes to work again, he will take care of a new project and will be very busy. Let him have fun for a while," said Aiden.

Since Deny's land eventually became the property of the Mahendra Family, the Atmajaya Group only got 30 percent of the project and instead of Nico, Raka would take the lead.

This project would bring benefits as Raka and Nico had been good friends for years. Though Raka would be the leader, Nico would still have a great opportunity in this collaboration.

Anya nodded when she heard Aiden's explanation. After all, Aiden loved his nephew so that sometimes he also spoiled him without realizing it. "Who will go with us to the hot springs? Is Tara coming?" Anya asked.

"Nico wants to invite Lisa. So it looks like Tara won't come," Aiden said.

"Okay then," Anya felt a little disappointed.

She had never met Lisa before, but her opinion about Lisa was not good. After all, Lisa had a family relationship with Indah and Keara. Lisa's Indah's niece so that made Keara her cousin.

Anya had a certain prejudice towards Lisa because of Indah and Keara, even though she had never met her.

Luckily, the engagement between Nico and Lisa was a sham. Anya didn't want them to really get married.

She obviously preferred Tara!

…

In the blink of an eye, Raka and Natali's engagement day arrived. The engagement party was massively held in the ballroom of a luxury hotel.

Nico and Lisa were already dressed up to attend the party. Even though they weren't officially engaged yet, news of their closeness had spread throughout the city.

Aiden and Anya decided to come late. They would only come for a mere formality.

In fact, their goal was to arrive late so that they wouldn't have anything to do with Deny.

However, Anya did not think that even though she was late, Deny had ordered some people to immediately intercept her.

"Miss, Mr. Deny asked you to wait for him here," said Deny's assistant.

Anya's face immediately changed. She didn't come for Natali as she had no sister or whatsoever.

"Today, I came to Raka's engagement party as a guest. I have nothing to do with the Tedjasukmana Family," said Anya coldly.

At the same time, someone immediately informed Deny about Anya's arrival so Deny quickly approached the two of them.

"Anya, I know you will definitely come," Deny rushed over to Anya and intended to withdraw his hand. However, before Deny could do it, Anya immediately hid behind Aiden.

Aiden immediately stretched out his hand and stopped Deny before Deny could touch his wife. "Please watch your move,"

"Anya, you are willing to come as a family. I can hold a magnificent engagement party like this for Natali. Of course I can also give you a big wedding party," Deny deliberately said, trying to lure Anya.

He had made himself clear. As long as Anya was willing to cooperate with him, he would give her a proper wedding party so that she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of the Atmajaya Family.

Anya could only laugh at herself when she heard Deny's words. "I don't care about parties. I'm used to fighting on my own to hold my pride. I will never help those who intentionally hurt me and my mother,"

"Anya, Natali is your sister. If you really don't want to, it's better not to come. But you are here now. You must sit at the family table!" Deny's voice turned cold. He realized that Anya and Aiden had come as invited guests of the Mahendra Family, not as a part of the Tedjasukmana Family.

"It's true what Anya said. She struggled on her own against people who trample all over her. Over the years, you keep trying to destroy her. Raka saved Anya from the house of the Tedjasukmana family and of course we came to show our gratitude to him," Aiden walked past Deny holding Anya's hand and entered the grand hall.

Natali had heard that Anya and Aiden came. But when she saw Anya sitting at the Mahendra Family guest table, Natali gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"Nat, look at your sister. She prefers to sit at the Mahendra Family's guest table," Yura deliberately stirred up the atmosphere.

She and Natali were close friends, and they were used to humiliating Anya for their pleasure.

Recently, Yura was expelled from campus because of Anya's actions, so it's no wonder that she  despised Anya a lot.

"I heard you argued with her on campus and she asked the dean to kick you out of campus. My sister is cruel. Now she wants to embarrass my father on purpose," Natali said, taking a deep breath.

"You have to teach her a lesson. If she is left like this, won't she become even more arrogant?" Yura said.

"How though? She has Aiden. What can I do?" Natali said helplessly. Actually, she was just pretending. She did it to lure Yura to do her dirty tricks. If Raisa couldn't be tricked, Natali still had various other ways, one of which was Yura.

Then, Natali suddenly said, "Do you remember our friend, Laura?"

"Laura? The girl who's engaged to that rich foreigner?" Yura asked. She was a little confused why Natali suddenly talked about their old friend.

"Yes, I feel so sorry for her. The man's ex-fianceé was jealous that she accidentally gave Laura some medicine and sent her to spend the night at a hotel with several men she didn't know. Laura's fiancé was outraged and thought that girl was dirty after the incident, so he canceled his engagement and kicked her out of their house. He couldn't fight his sadness so he committed suicide in the end," Natali took a deep breath. "He was still so young, around our age. Poor guy,"

Yura nodded at this gossip. Then, her eyes suddenly sparkled as if she had an idea. She came closer to Natali and whispered something.

"No! Anya's smell is very sensitive, more sensitive than a dog. Last time, Raisa tried to put medicine on Aiden's drink and Anya found out," Natali immediately opposed Yura's idea. "Yura, you will be going overseas after this. Better not to get into trouble,"

"I can't! I'm so annoyed with Anya. I was going to graduate this year, but suddenly I was kicked out of campus. Besides, I'm going out of the country soon. What should I be afraid of? I will teach Anya a lesson," Yura said with a proud smile.

"Don't you see how Raisa is? The Mahendra family had to sell their land to get Raisa out of jail. Within a few years, she was not allowed to return home and even to attend her brother's engagement party. I only have you now. I don't want anything to happen to you," Natali held Yura's hand tightly and made a pleading face, as if she genuinely loved her best friend.

  "You can't do anything stupid."

However, Natali was cheering inwardly. She didn't need to get her hands dirty directly because there were still many fools who would do anything for her!

"Nat, don't worry. I will inform my family and ask them to speed up my departure overseas. I'm leaving tonight. I'll do it quietly," Yura said.

"Yura, what are you going to do?" Natali's face looked panicked.
