Chapter 78 - Request (1/2)

”Anya, have you ever loved me? Even if it's just a little?” Raka's question made Anya stop moving. Raka's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the weakest part of her heart, making Anya's heart throb.

'How should I answer your question, Raka?' She thought to herself.

'From my childhood to my teens, you were the only man I loved. Why do you still doubt my love? How could you think that I never loved you? I accompany you to go on a date even though I am tired of work or study. I even fell asleep in the cinema just to go with you to watch your favorite movie. Do you think I accepted money from your mother voluntarily and was happy when I broke up with you?'

'If I didn't love you, why would I want to be with you three years ago?'

'If I didn't love you, why couldn't I love anyone after three years have passed?'

'If I didn't love you, why did I dream of you in the middle of my nights?'

'But today, you are asking me if I ever loved you? Can you really not see my love for you?'

But it was too late. The world had turned completely different. She must forget the past and live her current life, life together with Aiden.

Anya gave him a strained smile, ”Not!” She replied.

”ANYA!” Raka roared loudly. His normally warm eyes immediately looked cold and sharp. He got up from his seat. His face looked so angry that the veins on his temples were bulging.

However, Anya would not back down. She must continue acting, ”I never loved you, then or now. Go and don't come back.” Anya brought the first aid kit and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, the employees who had finished serving customers at the shop were eavesdropping on their conversation. When Anya walked out of the room suddenly, they split up and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Anya just shook her head when she saw the behavior of her new colleagues. It seemed she would also have a hard time at work. But she must not give up. She had been dreaming of this job for a long time.

Raka would not know that Anya was trying to hide her vulnerability and sadness. He felt that his arrival today was just embarrassing himself. He decided to leave the place immediately, not wanting to linger in that place any longer.

Anya returned to her workplace in the special perfume area, seeing Raka leaving the shop in a hurry. Her heart ached seeing the man feel disappointed.

'Raka, our past is just a memory, a memory that we can't repeat. Now everything is different. I belong to someone else. Was it you who came back late or was I the one who turned away too fast? Or maybe the world is playing tricks on us?' Anya mused as she tidied up her workplace.

Anya was still feeling gloomy when Aiden suddenly called her. She looked at the screen of her cell phone displaying Aiden's name with guilt. As soon as Raka left the shop, Aiden suddenly called her. There was no way this was a coincidence, right?

Anya raised her head and looked around her, looking for a figure following her. Aiden's men must be near the place, but Anya didn't know who was following and watching her. She did not see the bridge of his nose.

Raka wasn't aware of Anya's current situation. She was really in a difficult situation. However, Raka came to see her and made things even more troublesome.

Aiden would definitely scold her because she met Raka. Even though Anya had just promised this morning. The day had not changed, yet she'd broken her promise.

Anya took a deep breath and dared herself up to pick up the call, ”Hello…”

”I just finished the meeting. How was your first day at work?” Aiden asked in a light tone as if he didn't know what had just happened.

Aiden received information that Anya and Raka were in the employee room, alone for thirty minutes. Harris suggested that Aiden call Anya and ask her situation. The assistant did not care at all whether he'd get fired or not, the most important thing was that the master felt calm.

As soon as Harris left his office, Aiden immediately took Harris's advice and called Anya.

Anya went to the bathroom to pick up a call from Aiden. She lowered her voice and said, ”Aiden, do you want to check on me?”

”No, I'm just worried about my wife.” Aiden said casually.

Anya just chuckled at Aiden's lie. She knew very well that Aiden must have heard about Raka's arrival at work. Aiden called her to check, but wouldn't admit it.
