Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 751 - Habit Or Love

"Yes, Martin is so kind that many people feel comfortable with him. When I was abroad, he always accompanied me. Otherwise, I might've felt pressured," Raisa said while walking.

"I will thank him for accompanying you," the expression on Ivan's face was a little stiff and he looked like he was holding back.

Raisa felt so happy! She was one hundred percent sure that Ivan was jealous.

"I told Martin that when I got married, I would introduce him to my prettiest friend. But he said not to put salt on his wound instead. Do you understand what that means?" Raisa pretends to be innocent and continues to test Ivan's reaction.

Ivan stroked her head gently and helped her to fasten the seat belt as soon as she got into the car. "Martin works in the entertainment industry and knows a lot of artists. He has no shortage of beautiful women."

"In that case, good. I think he still likes me and wants to chase me," Raisa said with a laugh.

When he heard this, Ivan's eyes darkened, but he said nothing.

…

When they arrived at the restaurant, Martin had already arrived.

"Brother Ivan, Raisa, you have come. Long time no see!" Martin was about to hug Raisa and approach her, but Ivan immediately stopped him.

Ivan said with a cold face, "We don't greet people with a hug here in Indonesia."

Martin looked at them and said, "Ah, my bad. I'm too excited. Come on, sit down..."

Raisa sat beside Ivan obediently, unlike her old self— naughty when she was little.

"Brother Ivan, you and Keara had been engaged for many years. Why did you suddenly part with her?" When Martin sat down, he immediately threw up a difficult question.

When Raisa saw that Ivan didn't want to answer, she immediately said, "That's because he didn't like Keara. If he didn't end his engagement with her, how come he got engaged to me then?"

"Raisa, you've never had a boyfriend before, so you don't understand. I think Brother Ivan was engaged to Keara because her face was similar to Anya. After that, he realized that the fake would not be able to replace the real one. So in the end, he ended the engagement."

"What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with Anya!" Raisa said, looking annoyed.

Martin then looked at ivan. "Raisa, when we were little, Anya always played a role as Brother Ivan's partner. Don't you remember?"

"Martin, we don't meet to talk about the past. Why are you even talking about that?" Raisa looked at him, getting increasingly annoyed.

Martin seems to disagree with her. "Raisa, I'm sincere to you, but Brother Ivan is not. He likes Anya, but since he couldn't be with her, he used Keara as a substitute. After that, he threw her away because he didn't want her anymore. I'm not sure if he really loves you and wants to marry you!"

"Brother Ivan loves me and I love him too!" Raisa held Ivan's hand tightly.

After a long silence, Ivan finally asked, "Do you like Raisa?"

"I've always loved her since I was little! When I found out that Raisa was forced to go abroad, I went there to accompany her. I couldn't accept someone who doesn't love her. Why are you holding her back like this?" Martin asked bitterly.

Ivan smiled. "How can you judge that I don't love her?"

"Do you dare to deny that the person you like is Anya?" Martin asked.

"I admit that I used to really like Anya. But I'm happy because she has found her own happiness. Meanwhile, I have never loved Keara. After all, she's no longer here, so there was no point in talking about her. Since I got engaged to Raisa, she has always been by my side. I watched her grow from childhood. I love her like... Really love her and I can't live without her. You can call it a habit. You can also call it love. You can call it anything, it's up to you…" Ivan gripped Raisa's hand tightly.

The waitresses started serving their meals one by one, but Martin had lost his appetite.

"Raisa, are you stupid? Brother Ivan is only using you. This is not love. Can't you understand it?" Martin said angrily.

Raisa pursed her lips as she listened. "Brother Ivan said he couldn't live without me. That alone is enough for me. Even though he doesn't really show it, it doesn't mean he's not in love with me."

"Recently, representatives from my company met with Atmajaya Group. If Brother Ivan doesn't mind, we will work together and Raisa will be in charge of this project. You two will be separated for a while. I want to see if this habit is really love. Do you dare to?" Martin looked at Ivan defiantly.

Raisa looked at Ivan with a smile. "It doesn't matter to me."

"I disagree. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust Martin. I don't want that after the partnership ends, he won't respect you anymore," Ivan said, ignoring Martin even though he was still in front of him.

"Is it true? Are you afraid of your job, or afraid that I will change my mind?" Raisa asked.

Ivan took a deep breath. "I don't want to take the risk. You are mine. There is nothing to test our feelings for and we don't need to prove it to others. Raisa, I think…"

"I've never held a project this big before. I want to try it, Brother. Give me a chance!" Raisa held Ivan's hand, looking spoiled.

Although Ivan felt reluctant, in the end he could only agree to it.

…

The next day, Raisa called Anya and scolded her.

"What's wrong? Did the plan not work? Brother Ivan has given you permission to hold the project with Martin. You've been his assistant for over a year. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Anya asked in confusion.

"But you don't know, do you? After coming home last night, He…" Raisa didn't dare to continue, she was too embarrassed to say it.

Anya immediately burst into laughter. "There's no need to say it. I already know. I didn't think that someone as patient as him could turn into a wolf! But isn't that a sign of love? That's what you want, right?" She teased.

Raisa snorted angrily. "Today, I feel so tired. My back hurts and my legs are weak. Besides, my eyes look black like pandas. He didn't look the least bit angry at dinner, but…"

"Isn't that a good thing? You can make Brother Ivan possessive and go crazy whenever he's near you. But you have to be careful. If you get too close to Martin, what happened last night could get out of hand next time," Anya said.

Raisa felt nervous when she heard it. "Really?"

"Brother Ivan is a difficult person to express his feelings. You can fish him out, but don't overdo it. If you do, you might have children before your wedding," Anya said with a laugh.

"Why are you even laughing! I don't care anymore!" Raisa hung up the phone angrily.

In the evening, when Aiden comes home from work, Anya happily tells him everything.

However, she didn't expect Aiden to 'throw' her on the bed and caress her face. "Mrs. Atmajaya, it seems you have been busy lately. Don't you also need to learn from Raisa?"

"I don't want to!" Anya tries to run away, but Aiden holds her by the waist!
