Chapter 9:Womens Jealousy (1/2)
Only Anya and Aiden were in the elevator. It was because they were using Aiden's private elevator. The elevator cannot be used by just anyone. Only a few people had access to the elevator such as Harris, Aiden's office assistant, and Abdi.
The atmosphere in the elevator was very awkward. Or rather, only Anya felt that way. Every now and then she would steal glances at Aiden, hoping he would break the silence between them.
Unfortunately, Aiden didn't say anything. He looked straight ahead while waiting for the elevator to arrive on his floor. Behind his sunglasses, he could see Anya who was constantly moving because she was restless. His lips curved slightly, forming a faint smile when he saw the movements of the woman beside him.
Today, Anya's black hair, which usually worn loose, was tied into a single ponytail, making her look younger. Sometimes, her hands combed the loose strands of her hair, a sign that she was nervous. Her modest dress could not hide her graceful and delicate features. Her feet still looked long and slender even though they were only wrapped in sneakers. She didn't need to wear high heels to look charming like other women. Her face was innocent without excessive makeup, but it made her aura radiate even more.
The elevator chimed, knocking Aiden out of his reverie. He immediately walked out of the elevator, greeted by his assistant. The assistant looked very beautiful with her brown hair flowing. She wore a white blouse and a neat black skirt. Red high heels adorned her feet, making her look even sexier. However, in Aiden's eyes, his assistant was nothing. Only Anya filled Aiden's mind at the moment.
Anya was flabbergasted when she saw Aiden's assistant. 'Does being an assistant require a pretty appearance like this? This woman should be a model, not an assistant!'
Seeing the beauty of Aiden's assistant, Anya slightly lowered her head, feeling worried about her current appearance.
The woman frowned when she saw Anya's arrival. She stared at Anya from toe to head, feeling strange with the presence of a woman looking like this in her boss's office. Plus, this woman came specially picked up by Aiden. Although her dislike for Anya was clear, she remained polite and professional.
”Yes Sir.” She answered politely, but disappointment could be heard in her voice. Then, she looked away, staring at Anya with a sharp gaze. Anya flinched a little when she saw that gaze, then she jogged to chase after Aiden. Elise's gaze scared her. That gaze was like that of a woman who got jealous when her lover was with another woman.
Anya was stunned when she saw Aiden's office. The room was so spacious. The black desk stood proudly, while various documents were scattered on it. On the other side of the room was a large sofa that could even be used as a bed. Even when Anya was still living with her rich father, she never owned a sofa this big. Near the sofa, there was a door that was wide open, leading to the bedroom. Anya was surprised when she saw the room. What was a bedroom in the office for?
Unfortunately, the extraordinarily luxurious room did not get direct sunlight because the large window was covered with a curtain. Anya could imagine how beautiful the room would be if sunlight shone on it. She could also imagine how beautiful the view displayed from the large window, the view of the bustling city streets under the bluish sky.
Aiden sat on the sofa, watching as Anya watched the contents of the room with a look of amazement and her gaping mouth forming an ”o”. He smiled at the woman's behavior. This woman was very attractive to watch, he would never get tired of seeing her.
He cleared his throat softly, jolted Anya from her amazement and walked to the sofa in front of Aiden. After Anya sat down, Aiden didn't say anything. The current situation made Anya feel awkward again. She combed her hair behind her ear, not knowing what to do.
”I ... I heard, you were looking for me?” asked Anya, breaking the silence between them.
”Hmm ...” Aiden only answered briefly, not intending to reveal that his intention was to find Anya.
Seeing Aiden not responding to him, Anya felt confused, 'Why is this man so mysterious? What is the real purpose of looking for me? Why doesn't he say anything now after meeting me?'
”Why are you looking for me?” Anya dared herself to ask Aiden, even though she actually felt intimidated by the presence of this man in front of her.
