Chapter 119 - Toys (1/2)

Anya was shocked when she realized that Aiden was approaching her and reached out to her. She said nothing and immediately took the man's helping hand.

”Aiden, this mall is having an event. I worked until late last night to prepare the perfume base ingredients. I hope Rose Scent doesn't close at the time of the event.” Anya said sadly.

”Anya! Look what you did to us. You're just giving us trouble!” Ben shouted, glaring at her, ”You're fired! Quickly leave Rose Scent!”

Anya felt so angry when she heard Ben raving, ”I am Mrs. Esther's assistant manufacturer and you are only the manager of the store. What right do you have to fire me?”

”You have stolen Mrs. Esther's perfume recipe, do you think your mistake was not big?” Ben sneered.

His words made all the employees around him nod in agreement. They had seen how Anya caused trouble from her first day of work. It seemed like Anya was always surrounded by problems. As long as they worked, there had never been a case of theft like this once. Who else if not Anya did it? Only Anya worth their suspicion as the culprit in this shop.

Some of the employees were also upset because they heard that their shop would be closed when the mall held an event. If that happened, their bonus would decrease. This made them even more annoyed with Anya, even though the woman did not do anything.

”I didn't steal the recipe. I will stay for the duration of the investigation. I will participate in the interrogation.” Anya said. She wasn't afraid of the police at all because she was innocent.

Aiden shook his head impatiently. His voice sounded lazy, but everyone in the place could feel that the man was starting to lose his temper. He had been on a long journey and wanted to hurry home to meet his wife. But once he met the woman he missed, they couldn't even be alone.

”There are only two reasons why the recipe could be lost. One, the owner may be careless as to lose it or someone had planned all this.” He said, looking at Ben. His gaze looked lazy when he looked at him, but somehow Ben felt as if the man's gaze could kill him.

Anya was surprised and turned to look at Aiden, ”What do you mean ...”

”Let's go home.” Aiden replied briefly. He really wanted to rest and be alone with his wife, and not facing a commotion like this.

”But I haven't been interrogated.” Anya muttered.

”You didn't do anything wrong. The police will investigate it completely.” After that, Aiden gave Harris instructions without turning to look at him, ”Harris, Anya doesn't want Rose Scent to be temporarily closed. Negotiate to buy all Rose Scent shares as soon as possible.”

”Huh?” Anya was flabbergasted when she heard this. Her mouth was wide open and she couldn't speak fluently because she was so shocked, ”Y-… You… What did you buy the Rose Scent for?”

”For your toys.” Aiden said casually as if buying a Rose Scent was like buying a toy in a small shop. Then, he looked at Anya and said softly, ”Can we go home now?”

”Are you going to close Rose Scent?” Anya asked.

”No.” Aiden replied shortly.

Anya bit her lip and confirmed one more time, ”Will the show continue?”

”Hmm…” Aiden nodded his head.

Anya breathed a sigh of relief and took Aiden's hand, ”Are you tired? Let's go home. You must rest.”

”Mr. Aiden was afraid something happened to you so he went to see you as soon as the plane landed.” Said Harris who was at Aiden's side. He said it in a low voice so only Anya and Aiden could hear it.

Anya looked at Harris with gratitude for telling her. Then she looked at Aiden and laughed happily like a child.

”Are we going home now? Hurry up and help me.” Aiden said.

”I thought...” Anya's eyes looked sad after hearing Aiden's words. She thought Aiden's eyes had recovered, but apparently, the treatment was failing. She didn't know that Aiden was just pretending.

”What's wrong?” Aiden could see Anya looking sadly at him, but he didn't say anything.
