Chapter 458 - Step Over My Corpse (1/2)
”I really can't do it. I'll pretend I don't know your plan and don't want to get involved,” Mila wanted to protect herself and didn't want to accept the money Keara offered to her.
”You already know this. How can you not get involved now?” The smile on Keara's face instantly died as soon as she heard Mila refuse to be involved in her plan.
”Mr. Aiden really cares about Anya. If she miscarried, everyone in Iris would be investigated,” Mila said.
”I won't miss this kind of opportunity,” Keara didn't care about the fate of other people, let alone the employees at Iris. ”If you get fired, you can work at my shop.”
”Miss...”
”I've decided. If you refuse, you won't be able to survive in Iris and I'll also make sure you won't be able to earn a living elsewhere,” Keara started the car. ”I'm going home, get out here.”
Mila had no other choice but to take the bag out of the car.
If she helped Keara, Aiden would never forgive her.
But if she didn't help Keara, she wouldn't be able to carry on living.
Mila went straight to the ATM to deposit the money and then bought food for Iris' employees.
Since Keara's appearance in the city, Mila also felt pressured because Keara kept trying to take advantage of her.
Now she had fallen. Luckily, she still got money.
But Mila realized that if Aiden found out about what she had done, she would not be able to survive in Iris or Keara's Perfume.
Anya came to Iris early in the morning until late at night. Aiden wasn't home after all, so why did she come home? Maria's extremely warm attitude to her also made her feel a little worried. For some reason, she felt that something was up.
Something was different, everyone's attitude towards her changed.
Aiden hid everything from her and didn't want to say anything. Even Nico didn't know about it.
Anya could only be patient, waiting for Aiden's final decision.
If Aiden still chose to divorce her, she would respect his decision.
It didn't matter if Aiden did it for his own good or whatever, Anya wouldn't care anymore because Aiden chose to let her go.
During her cold war with Aiden, Anya thought a lot. She thought she knew Aiden from the inside out. But as soon as hardships came to test her, Anya realized that she didn't really know Aiden that much.
During the day, she was very busy taking care of Iris and at night, Anya couldn't sleep well. She also had no appetite for food, so instead of gaining some weight during her pregnancy, she actually became thinner.
The days kept changing until nearing the end of the year. The mall owned by Atmajaya Group held a big event so Anya had to help her own shop. Anya didn't want to smell too much perfume for fear that it would affect her pregnancy. Finally, she decided to distribute flyers outside.
She stood in front of Iris' door while carrying a pile of flyers and handing them out to everyone who passed by.
She didn't know if it was because she stood for too long, or because there were so many people there, Anya felt a little dizzy and nauseous.
Previously, her pregnancy was not that difficult. She rarely felt dizzy or nauseous. But today, the reaction was terrific. She really wanted to throw up.
She immediately gave the flyer she was holding to one of Iris's employees who accompanied her. ”I'm not feeling well. I'll rest for a bit,”
”Are you alright? Your face looks pale,” the woman asked in panic.
Anya just shook her head weakly. ”I am alright. Just need a little rest. Sorry to bother you,”
Today, the mall was crowded with visitors and the flow of customers coming to Iris had also increased. However, in times of need like this, Anya couldn't help Iris because of her pregnancy.
She wanted to help make perfume, but she didn't want to harm the baby she was carrying.
She wanted to help distribute flyers, but her body couldn't hold on.
Thinking of the baby in her womb, Anya didn't dare to take the risk. After handing her flyer to her colleague, she immediately turned around and looked for a place to rest.
However, after a few steps, someone suddenly nudged her. Anya's body felt shaken until she fell to the ground.
