Chapter 117 - Accusation (2/2)
Ben felt he was treated unfairly. His eyes flushed red as he looked at Esther, ”Ma'am, I've worked for you for five years, but you would rather trust this new kid than me. You have lost your perfume recipe and I was trying to find it. What did I do wrong?”
”Rose Scent is mine and that recipe is mine too. I want to give it to Anya. It is my right!” Esther said.
Ben did not expect Esther to defend Anya. He did not know that Esther could see all his lies so clearly.
Anya also felt so disappointed with Ben. Since the beginning she worked at Rose Scent, Ben always treated her well and taught her many things about Rose Scent. She felt calm because she had an honest boss like Ben, but she didn't expect Ben to stab her in the back.
”Miss Esther, why are you trying to defend Anya? She clearly stole your recipe! I'll call the police.” Ben was furious.
”Don't call the police!” Esther said.
However, Ben didn't listen to Esther's order at all. He left the office and shouted from the upstairs stairs to the employees below, ”Hurry up and call the police. I found the missing recipe in Anya's bag.”
”Try saying that one more time!” As soon as Ben yelled, the answer came from a deep, cold man's voice.
From inside the office room, Anya could also hear that voice. It was Aiden's voice.
Why did Aiden suddenly come back? Shouldn't he be back the day after tomorrow?
”W-… Mr. Aiden…” Ben was stunned and his tongue tied, speechless.
Anya immediately rushed out of Esther's office and saw Aiden's tall body standing under the chandelier on the first floor of the shop. His eyes were cold and his body emitted a terrifying aura as he stared at Ben.
When she saw Aiden, Anya's eyes felt hot and sore. Many things happened while Aiden was away and Anya had to bear it alone.
Raisa insulted her in public, Irena and her father came to pressure her. Raka also kept looking for her, making Anya feel depressed.
And now, everyone was suddenly accusing her of being a thief.
”Aiden...” Aiden's name softly escaped from Anya's lips.
Seeing the figure he missed day and night, Aiden's heart melted. His petite wife looked at him with reddened eyes under everyone's accusation.
When Anya said that she would work in Esther's perfume room, Aiden should have reminded her to be careful with the recipe formula. That place was Esther's private area, so if anything happened, everyone would feel suspicious of Anya.
Unfortunately, he was too emotional when discussing Raka's problem yesterday. He even scolded Anya and told her not to continue to test his patience.
But the next day, Aiden regretted his words. He shouldn't have been that harsh to Anya. In the end, he decided to charter a private jet and go home.
Who knew, once he got off the plane, he heard that Esther's perfume recipe disappeared and Anya became the suspect.
Luckily, Aiden came home today. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how much burden Anya had been feeling lately.
Aiden's face seemed to soften when he looked at Anya. He slightly opened his hands, gesturing for Anya to approach him immediately.
Without thinking, Anya immediately ran downstairs and buried herself in his arms ...
