Chapter 87 - Matchmaking (1/2)

Aiden really wanted to hug Anya. The woman looked sad and vulnerable in front of him. But he knew Anya would not like it so Aiden could only restrain himself.

Finally, he took Anya's hand and invited her to go to his office. This was the second time Anya entered Aiden's office. In her first time, she couldn't see the view from the large window in Aiden's office because the curtains covered it. However, this time the curtains were wide open, showing a panoramic view of the entire city.

'Too bad Aiden couldn't see this…'

”I'm going to accompany Nico to meet the client. I'll be back when I'm done.” Said Aiden.

”Eh? You're going to leave me here alone?” Anya looked around, ”Aren't there a lot of important documents in this place…?”

”You won't be leaking company secrets.” Aiden said casually.

Anya was pleased with the trust Aiden placed in her. She looked at Aiden with a smile, ”I will not disappoint you.”

At that moment, Nico's voice came from the door. Nico peeked through the crack in Aiden's office door, ”Uncle, can we go now?”

Aiden turned and looked at Nico's face in annoyance, ”Didn't you run away together with Raisa?”

Nico just grinned and played dumb, ”I didn't see Raisa at all. Auntie, have you seen Raisa?”

”I ...” Anya was stunned for a moment at the sudden question. Then, she replied calmly, ”I don't see her.”

Anya recalled Aiden pouring hot water on Natali when they had an argument. She didn't want it to happen again. She better lied.

Harris covered his mouth and was silent when he saw Nico and Anya trying to defend Raisa. After all, Aiden had already fired a group of employees for Anya. Harris didn't want anything else to happen again.

”You don't see her either?” Aiden snorted. Since when did these three people agree without saying anything?

”No, uncle. I do not see her. Did you see her?” Nico asked on purpose.

Anya immediately turned to Aiden, ”Aiden, can you see?” She asked with a surprised expression.

”No.” Aiden replied. He said it a little quietly, pretending to be sad so that his secret wouldn't be exposed.

Aiden knew that Raisa did all this, but he couldn't say. He couldn't let Anya know about his lie.

”Sir, your client has arrived!” Harris said suddenly, saving Aiden from his wife's suspicion.

Aiden held Anya's head and stroked her, ”You must be tired. Go to the room and wash up. You can also rest for a while. I will be right back!”

”Hmm, alright, go. I'll be waiting for you.” Anya's voice was soft, tickling Aiden's heart. The voice made Aiden not want to join the meeting. Supposedly, he let Nico go alone.

He said goodbye, but he was reluctant to leave his room.

When Harris saw this situation, he immediately looked at Nico. His eyes seemed to send a signal for Nico to help him, 'Mr. Nico, if you don't ask Mr. Aiden away immediately, you will have to deal with your client on your own.'

Nico received Harris's signal clearly. Seeing Aiden was reluctant to leave the place, he stepped forward and pulled Aiden's hand, ”Uncle, come on quickly. I'll help you down.” They walked towards the lift, while Anya followed them behind.

Before the elevator door closed, Anya stood in her place, waving and smiling. ”I'm looking forward to our dinner.”

Aiden let go of Nico's hand and intended to get down when he saw him, ”You met this client yourself.” He said.
