Chapter 515 - Condition (2/2)

Wasn't this the same as forcing Anya to return to work at Iris?

Suddenly, Anya had an idea.

Since earlier, Aiden had been teasing her on purpose. This time, it was her turn to retaliate.

She wanted to test Aiden and find out whether Aiden actually knew that she was not his niece or not…

Anya leaned over and sat beside Aiden. Her hands grabbed the hem of Aiden's shirt spoiled, as she used to do in the past. ”Aiden, my perfume formula isn't as valuable as you think. I just graduated and was just starting a career. Can you…”

Aiden felt his throat tighten. Anya was too close to him so he could smell her faint scent…

Before Anya could finish speaking, Aiden immediately interrupted her, ”No!”

Anya pursed her lips and hugged Aiden's hand, then shook it repeatedly. ”How could you be this cruel to your ex-wife? I'm so poor and I can't work for two years if I pay the penalty fee,”

Aiden pulled his hand from Anya's embrace, ”Anya, are you trying to tease me?”

”How else should I do it? If you accept it, can you terminate my employment contract free of charge?” Anya deliberately brought her face to Aiden, trying to attack him.

In truth, Anya dared to do this knowing Aiden wouldn't do anything to her. After all, Aiden thought of her as his niece.

There's no way Aiden could do something to his own niece.

”You think I won't dare?” Aiden's eyes darkened as he stared deeply at her.

Aiden's reaction made Anya swallow her saliva frantically.

His gaze was strange. What did Aiden want from her?

Before Anya could react, Aiden immediately took over Anya's body and pressed her on the sofa. He trapped her under his looming body while keeping his face close to her.

When Aiden was about to kiss her, Anya immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

”I will return to work at Iris, but with one condition,”  Anya had been thinking of the consequences if she left Iris since yesterday. She could not work in the perfume industry for two years. Therefore, she'd try to strike another deal.

”Tell me,” Aiden sat up straight and let go of Anya.

Anya tried to calm herself down as she sat back down. She tried to test Aiden, but it turned out that she fell into her own trap.

Anya coughed softly to hide her embarrassment and immediately stepped away from Aiden. ”In the contract that I signed, there is a requirement that I can't work in the same industry for two years after leaving Iris. I am a parfumeur and I couldn't leave my job for two years. Can we delete this clause?”

”You don't need to resign. After this agreement ends, you can sign a new contract with Iris for two years and you can delete that clause in the contract. When the new contract ends, you can find a new job,” Aiden said.

Anya nodded and then realized something was wrong.

Wait a minute…

Aiden said to sign a new contract for two years after the original work contract ended. The current contract still had a one year term.

Coupled with those two years, Anya could only be free after three years.

”Aiden, are you trying to trick me again? Doesn't that mean I have to work for you for three years?” Anya immediately reacted and shouted at Aiden.

With an 'I did it all for you' look, Aiden said, ”You're afraid you won't be able to work in the perfume industry for two years. That's why I'm looking for a way out for you so that you don't disappear from this industry and lose your good reputation,”

”Thank you,” Anya said sarcastically and gritted her teeth.

”Am I wrong?” Aiden couldn't help laughing when he saw Anya's reaction.

”I know I can't pay the penalty so I'm willing to go back to work at Iris. I just want to ask you a favor. When the contract ends, please don't limit my freedom in this industry,” Anya took every word very seriously.
