Chapter 515 - Condition (1/2)
Anya cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. Why did Aiden keep seducing her like this?
Did Aiden know that she was not Maria's real daughter?
Or did Aiden lose control of himself and forget that she was his niece?
”Has Harris told you that I wanted to come over to discuss contract matters?” Anya changed the topic of their conversation.
”Harris already told me. If you don't want to go back to work at Iris, I will respect your decision. I won't make things difficult for you,” Aiden said calmly.
Anya was silent to hear that answer.
Right now, her mind was blurring and she couldn't focus on the matter.
Being in Aiden's office made her mind drift. Her memory returned to when she first met Aiden.
She was sitting in the same place as today, sitting next to Aiden and hoping someone would help her that day.
It was also here that Aiden offered to help, stretching out his hand for Anya.
In this place, Aiden proposed to her and wanted to marry her.
'Marry me and I'll help you,' was what Aiden had told her at that time. Anya was very surprised and also touched. She had always struggled alone before and finally, someone reached out and wanted to reduce the burden on her shoulders.
But now, that helping hand was gone. Her backrest was gone.
Anya was just a nobody. She and Aiden had no relationship whatsoever.
”I've spent a lot of my mother's money studying abroad for two years and I can't pay the penalty fee. Today I have come to ask you for a free termination of the contract. Can you consider our relationship first?” Anya asked carefully.
She said it while looking at Aiden's face, hoping the man would melt a little. However, that hope immediately shattered when she heard the man's reply.
”I am a businessman and a businessman does not want to suffer losses. Iris has trained you, so you have to work for Iris. I have no reason to just let you go,” Aiden said coldly.
Anya could only snort.
As it turned out, Aiden still didn't change. He was still the same as before. Cold hearted to anyone.
In the past, Aiden was also like this, being cold and cruel towards anyone, apart from Anya because she was his wife. Aiden loved her so much and spoiled her.
But now Anya was no longer Aiden's wife. She was nobody so Aiden treated her cruelly.
It seemed that she dreamed too much of being able to discuss this matter with a cold-hearted businessman like Aiden.
”In the past, when we were husband and wife, you said you respected my decision. Now you said you'll agree to terminate my contract but ask for 10 billion in cash as a compensation. You know I won't be able to get that kind of money. Even if you sell me, you will never get that 10 billion,” Anya said sarcastically.
”In my eyes, you are very valuable,” Aiden immediately opposed what she said. Money couldn't compare to how much Anya's worth to him.
Aiden's answer was unexpected. Anya felt her heart beat fast and her resolve seemed about to collapse.
What was Aiden actually doing? Why did Aiden keep teasing ehr?
Anya just took a deep breath and tried to calm her heart.
”Tell me, how will you get that 10 billion?” Anya still felt that she was not that valuable.
She was nothing. She didn't have a powerful name behind her.
Previously, she was able to build her reputation in this city because of Aiden's help. Without Aiden, who would she be?
”You still have one year left on your contract. You are the winner of a perfume competition and graduated from the Perfume Academy in France in just two years. With all your skills, you can get a big profit and Atmajaya Group estimates that you can make 10 billion in Iris in one year,” Aiden said calmly. ”I don't want to make things difficult for you, but this is the truth. Your contract says that you have to pay three times the fee which is 30 billion. But in regards to our past relationship, I wouldn't do it.”
Even though Aiden had given her relief,10 billion was still not a small amount, right? Where could she get that kind of money?
