Chapter 74 - Getting Fired? (1/2)
Aiden and Harris went to accompany Anya to work. After escorting Anya, they would go straight to the office accompanied by Abdi.
In the car, Aiden stared at Anya's beautiful face. His wife looked so beautiful without the need to wear heavy makeup. After polishing her face a little, she looked very charming. Anya only used a little powder, eyebrow pencil and lipstick, but her natural beauty could shine through.
Today, Anya wore a pink shirt and trouser. The color made her appear more feminine. She let her hair down beautifully, framing her face nicely.
Seeing Anya's beauty, Aiden felt even more worried. How could no man want a woman as beautiful as Anya? Plus, Raka suddenly returned to Indonesia early. Aiden was sure that Raka would take the opportunity when he was not around Anya.
Aiden closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat, while Anya sat beside him looking out the window excitedly. She was very excited about her first day of work.
”Anya...” Suddenly, Aiden called her name.
Anya immediately turned to Aiden, ”Hmm? What is wrong?” She asked, confused.
”How do you think Harris is doing his job?” Aiden asked. That question sounded completely random. Why did Aiden need Anya's assessment of Harris's performance?
Hearing this question, Harris also panicked. He turned back and asked anxiously, ”Sir, did I do something wrong?”
Anya was confused too. Why was Aiden suddenly asking this? Aiden's emotions were unreadable. Harris was the best assistant he had. Harris could do everything very well. Why did Aiden suddenly ask this as if Harris had made a big mistake?
Harris glanced at Anya with a pitiful gaze, asking Anya's help to say good things about him. Apparently, Aiden was really angry that it scared Harris.
Anya swallowed hard, steeled her courage and said, ”I think Harris is a very great assistant. There is no better assistant than Harris. If you feel dissatisfied with his job, as long as you give him one more chance, he will definitely finish it very well.”
Harris nodded hard and looked at Anya gratefully.
”I once asked Harris to order a cage the size of Raka's body. I canceled it, but it turned out it had been finished. Harris is not doing his job properly. How about I fire him and replace him with a new assistant?” Aiden said. He looked like he was considering firing Harris.
Anya looked panicked. Did she hear him correctly? Was the cage for Raka ready? Should she blame Harris?
But Harris was very clever in carrying out his duties and very efficient in helping Aiden. Was Aiden really going to fire Harris just for this reason?
”I don't think it's Harris's fault. Doesn't that mean you were late in telling him to cancel the order?” Anya asked carefully.
”So it's my fault?” Aiden snorted coldly.
”Eh? No, no. This is all my fault. I caused all this to happen!” Anya said while shaking her head.
”Then what about the cage? You said it will be delivered tomorrow?” Aiden asked Harris on purpose.
Harris secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead. He thought he had made a big mistake so his boss suddenly wanted to fire him. But it turned out that his boss was in the mood to trap his wife, so that Anya would be caught in his plan. If this was what his boss wanted, he would play the role.
”Will it be delivered tomorrow? I will accept it. Please don't fire Harris.” Anya didn't want Aiden to lose an assistant as great as Harris.
And the confinement all started from her mistakes. If Harris was fired for this problem, she would feel very guilty! What should Anya say to Hana if Harris were fired because of Anya's fault?
Aiden kept saying with a flat face, showing absolutely no hidden intentions, ”Since Anya begged for you, I'll give you a second chance.” Aiden said firmly.
Harris felt innocent. But if Aiden said he was guilty, then he was guilty.
”Thank you, Madam. Thank you, sir, for giving me a chance.” Harris replied.
”Find a place to put the cage properly and look after Anya while I'm away.” Aiden ordered him.
Guarding Anya had three meanings.
First of all, Harris had to make sure that Deny and Natali didn't bother Anya, because Aiden knew that Deny still hadn't given up and wanted to take advantage of Anya.
Second, Harris must ensure that Raka wouldn't see Anya again. Aiden didn't want any man to approach Anya, especially Raka.
