Chapter 514 - Cherries (1/2)

Anya was still silent in front of Aiden's office door, not knowing what to do.

Aiden's bodyguard also couldn't do anything because his hands were full. He couldn't knock on the door nor could he enter carelessly.

”Can you help me knock on the door, madame?” The bodyguard looked back at Anya in embarrassment. He felt a little uneasy about having to ask her for help.

Anya seemed to wake up from her reverie. She saw the two packages in the guard's hand and nodded. Her feet stepped toward the door and knocked softly.

”Enter!” Aiden's voice came from within.

The sound made Anya's hands tremble slightly and her heart beat faster. The sound still gave off the same effect as before. Even though she had tried to kill her feelings, it turned out that they were still not dead.

Anya took a deep breath and opened the door, trying to calm herself.

”Sir, have your lunch,” the guard greeted him and placed all the packages he was carrying on the table.

Aiden's eyes were fixed on Anya, not caring even if the bodyguard was bringing food. Anya felt very awkward when she realized Aiden's gaze.

Before entering the room, her heart was already in chaos. Now she could only lower her head to avoid Aiden's gaze.

She came to discuss terminating her contract, but until now, she hadn't dared to open her mouth. Seeing Aiden's gaze made her panicked.

Anya tried to cover up her panic and then looked at Aiden, ”Aiden, long time no see.”

”We just met at the airport a few days ago,” Aiden could see Anya's panic and he immediately said to his bodyguard, ”Leave us alone and get out of here.”

The bodyguard understood him immediately and left the room.

Anya linked her hands tightly. Her lips were pressed tightly together, not knowing what else to say.

'You stupid!' Why did she have to make such a small talk? They met just a few days ago!

'Don't panic, don't be afraid, Anya!' She spoke those words in her heart over and over again.

Anya took a deep breath and straightened her body before saying, ”I came to discuss terminating my contract with you. Two years ago, I signed a work contract with Iris…”

”It's lunch time. I don't want to talk about work,” Aiden got up and walked toward the dining table.

”Oh! We can talk after you eat,” Anya replied, nodding.

After working all day, Aiden must be hungry. His break time had to be interrupted by work problems because of her, so Anya decided to wait.

As long as Aiden was in a good mood and agreed to terminate her work contract, Anya was willing to wait any length of time.

”I have no appetite when I have to eat alone. Eat with me,” Aiden pulled a chair for Anya.

How dare Anya eat together with Aiden?

”I'm not hungry. You eat first, I'll wait for you to finish eating,” Anya said softly.

”If you accompany me to eat, I will discuss the employment contract issue with you. If not, I don't want to,” Aiden replied.

Anya felt the hope in her heart crumble. Thinking of the work contract in Aiden's hands, Anya had no other choice but to comply.

”Okay then,” Anya sat on her chair, forcing a faint smile.

Unconsciously, her hands opened the food package like when she was preparing Aiden's lunch before.

Anya's eyes lit up when she saw the food that Hana had prepared. It had been a long time since she had eaten Hana's food and she missed her very much.

Aiden stared at Anya's face as if trying to remember her expression in his mind. ”Eat the soup first,” he said.

”Hmm...” Anya took the bowl of soup as she silently looked at Aiden. Aiden looked thinner than before, but his face looked sharper.

There were faint lines between his brows, perhaps because the man frowned too often.

Anya could only eat in silence and enjoy the delicious homemade food with just a smile.
