Chapter 171 - Forgotten Gift (1/2)
Anya followed Aiden towards the president director's office. During the trip, she met many people greeting Aiden. These people occasionally stole glances at Anya, watching the lover brought by their superior.
Anya could only look down embarrassed with a thin smile without saying anything.
After entering the president director's office, Aiden said to Harris. ”I am tired. If nothing is urgent, don't bother me.”
”Yes, sir.” Harris walked out of Aiden's office. Before he had time to leave the floor, he saw Nico emerge from Aiden's private elevator.
”Harris, I heard my uncle brought auntie to the office?” Nico asked, looking curiously at Aiden's office door.
”Mr. Nico, Mr. Aiden is resting. Please don't shout too loud.” Harris frowned. He had just received orders not to disturb Aiden, but the number one bully came right away!
”People said, Uncle picked up my aunt because she was in trouble again. She really is attracting problems like a magnet.” Nico said, ignoring Harris's warning.
”Master asked not to be disturbed if there is nothing urgent.” Harris conveyed Aiden's message with a flat face.
”I have important things to say right now.” Nico passed Harris and walked toward Aiden's office. He ignored Harris as if the man was just a passing wind.
”Uncle, can I come in?” He said, knocking on the door.
”If I say no, will you go?” Aiden grumbled from inside the room.
”No!” Nico entered Aiden's office and saw Anya sitting on the sofa holding a plastic filled with ice to compress her head. ”Hello, auntie!”
”Who is your aunt? Am I not a problem's magnet?” Anya said irritably.
”Can you hear me? Harris said it. He may look good in front of you, but behind him he calls you a trouble's magnet. I'll punish him later.” Nico said, pretending.
Anya glared at Nico then called Aiden, ”Aiden, your nephew said I was a trouble's magnet.”
Aiden looked up and stared at Anya with a gentle gaze, ”It is okay. I like trouble.” He said with a smile.
Nico could only stroke his chest when he saw the conversation between his uncle and aunt, ”Ouch, it hurts! Why does it feel like there are a thousand arrows stabbing my heart?” He said, dramatizing. His hands were still on his chest while he pretended to be passed out.
”You deserve the Oscar trophy.” Anya sneered.
”That's right, maybe I could get that trophy many times if I became an actor.” Nico said with a serious face.
”Quickly say what you want.” Aiden sat beside Anya and took the plastic ice she was holding. He took out his handkerchief and wrapped the ice plastic wrap with a handkerchief so it wouldn't be too cold, then put it back on Anya's forehead.
Nico immediately let go of his naughty expression and suddenly put on a serious face, ”I just got information that someone saw Keara at the airport.”
Aiden was not surprised when he heard this because he had seen Keara before, ”Finally, she came back. Don't worry. Wait for her until she calls us.” Aiden said calmly.
”Why did she suddenly come back? How did she survive the accident? And why did she come back alone?” Nico asked grimly.
”I'll ask her when I meet her.” Aiden said calmly.
”Don't you like Keara?” Anya asked Nico. She saw Nico's expression and concluded he wasn't too happy. Shouldn't he be happy that his uncle's fiancée was still alive? Even though they were just engaged, Keara would one day become part of their family.
”If you found out what Keara did to Uncle, you wouldn't like it either.” Nico said, looking at Aiden. ”Uncle, why didn't you tell Auntie? Keara is back. Sooner or later, they will meet.”
Aiden looked at his wife who leaned on his arms. His hands played with Anya's hair, twirling it with one finger. But he didn't intend to tell her.
”Aiden, are you hiding something from me?” In her heart, Anya was always on guard against Keara. Now, hearing Nico's words, it looked like there really was a connection between Aiden and Keara.
