Chapter 129 - Messenger (1/2)

”Have you done the handover of Rose Scent with Esther?” Aiden asked.

Anya closed her lips tightly. Doubt appeared on her face when she heard Aiden's question. Anya had decided something without Aiden's permission and didn't know how the man would react to it.

”Isn't it going well?” Aiden asked when he didn't hear Anya's answer.

”I recruited her to work as a general manager at Rose Scent.” Anya said as she carefully watched Aiden's face.

Aiden's brows lifted slightly as he casually asked, ”And she agreed?”

Anya nodded her head. She grabbed Aiden's arm and led him towards the sofa area.

Aiden sat on the sofa leaning back lazily and asked back, ”What did you offer her?”

”Alright, seems there is nothing I can hide from you.” Anya grimaced when she heard Aiden's question, ”I promised her that I would not interfere in Rose Scent's decision making and follow all the arrangements. I want to ask you a favor. Can we keep using the name Rose Scent?”

”You didn't discuss it with me first and decide it yourself.” Aiden's voice sounded cold.

Anya seemed to be able to hear her heartbeat in her ear. She looked carefully at Aiden's face and saw that the man was not smiling like before.

”I did it for you too. I don't want you to suffer losses and lose your money.” Anya held Aiden's hand and sat beside him.

”For me? Try to explain.” Aiden snorted.

”You bought a Rose Scent for me, but I have no experience running a business. I also don't have the experience to be the head parfumeur. I still have school and don't have time to take care of everything. Rose Scent was like Mrs. Esther's own child and she definitely didn't want to see Rose Scent collapsed. I persuaded her to stay.” Anya tried to explain to Aiden.

Aiden's cold eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Anya with an accusing look, ”You're not telling the truth.”

”Aiden, Amore has ruined my mother's career. Imel also took all of the parfumeur that was scouted by Mrs. Esther and tried to destroy Rose Scent. Mrs. Esther and I have the same enemy, and we reached an agreement at this time.” Anya said.

Aiden pulled Anya's body closer to him. His cold lips brushed Anya's warm cheeks, right near her ear and whispered, ”You didn't say my name at all? You didn't say that you could use my power to defeat Imel?”

Anya looked at Aiden in surprise. How could that man know everything she was thinking.

Anya immediately pretended to be stupid and chuckled, ”How dare I use your name! You think too far.”

”Is it true? You have no experience, but I know you are smart and brave.” Aiden could see all Anya's plans.

Anya's eyes were fixated on the food on the table. She didn't dare look at Aiden. ”I do not dare. I'm scared, especially when I'm hungry.” She said with a laugh. At that moment, Anya's stomach sounded.

”Eat it. I brought it for you.” Aiden said. However, his voice still sounded sour.

Anya smiled at him trying to be spoiled. Her hand was wrapped around Aiden's arm, ”Thank you for bringing me food.”

”Just thanks?” Aiden's face approached her, asking for a reward for the kindness he gave to her. His eyes seemed to say 'you know what you have to do to thank me'.

Anya laughed when she saw Aiden's behavior. She hugged Aiden's neck and kissed his cheek, ”My husband is the best!”

”I can do better, especially in bed!” Aiden's hand wrapped around Anya's waist. He changed his position, placing Anya leaning back on the sofa just below him, while his body covered her, ”Do you want to try it?”

Anya immediately felt nervous when she saw their current position. Her lips trembled slightly, ”I'm hungry. Can we eat now?”

”I'm hungry too.” Aiden's brown eyes looked darker than usual. After hesitating for a moment, the man lowered his head and kissed Anya on the lips.

Her lips felt very soft and the fragrance of flowers could be smelled from her body. Actually, Aiden just wanted to tease her, but who would have thought that his tiny wife made him unable to hold back. His gentle kiss grew fiercer and uncontrolled.

Anya's brain felt empty. Her eyes were wide and her body was stiff. She couldn't react at all. Anya could see the intense passion in Aiden's eyes.

Her heart sped up, twice as fast. Panic rose in her heart as she tried to push away Aiden's body.
