Chapter 615 - No Coincidence (1/2)

”Who don't you want to meet?” asked Anya, hearing Aiden on the phone.

”I don't want to meet anyone but you,” Aiden immediately hung up the call.

Harris looked at his cellphone which had been disconnected and he felt sad because Aiden hated him now.

Aiden didn't want to see him. That would mean he wouldn't be able to join breakfast at Aiden's house either.

In the end, Nadine and Harris decide to join Diana for dinner over the next few days. Since Diana was living alone, she welcomed the two guests with pleasure.

She was also happy because Harris and Nadine were there to help her take care of the garden and help with her work.

Meanwhile, Anya was focused on preparing for the perfume competition she would participate in. She worked in her perfume room everyday. And when she felt tired, she would spend time with Aiden.

The day before the competition, Anya went to Iris to meet Esther and bring a sample of her homemade perfume.

Before closing the shop, Mila took the initiative to clean the office on the second floor when she realized that the forgotten perfume room had not been locked.

She looked around and made sure that no one was there. After that, she immediately went inside and found Anya's perfume sample along with the recipe.

…

The next day, Anya returned to Iris and went straight up to her office. She took a sample of the perfume and the recipe, then rushed to the place where the competition was being held.

This perfume competition was a golden opportunity so that Anya could strengthen her reputation in the perfume world.

After two years of studying and trying hard in a foreign land, would she be able to win this competition, competing against great parfumeurs from all over the world?

Diana and Esther arrived at the place early, while Aiden accompanied Anya. Even Tara purposely postponed her schedule today and canceled all her appointments to give her support for Anya.

Anya already knew the stages in this competition because she had participated in it before.

She had a very sensitive sense of smell so that in the first half, she was able to go fast and enter the second half, ahead of the others.

In the previous competition, Anya received a low score in the second half, which was the round that determined the value and quality of the spices.

At that time, although she recognized spices, her abilities were quite limited because she was not equipped with a formal education.

But the two years she spent studying made her change, unlike her old self.

Even though she still couldn't compete with Keara, she was still much better.

In the second half, Keara caught up with her and in the end, Anya entered the third round together with her.

Last time, Galih and Indah came together to support their only daughter. But this time, not a single person from the Pratama Family came to support Keara.

Anya looked down at the stage. She saw Diana and Esther looking at her. Aiden was also looking up at the stage with a 'My wife is here to win the match' look. Nico and Tara were seen sitting beside him waving a flag.

In contrast to the two people who were excited, Nadine and Harris watched this match very calmly.

Just like before, the third act was the perfume making round on the spot. This time, the theme of the perfume was love.

Anya smiled towards Aiden. 'Perfume about love'. Of course she would immediately look at her love, her husband…

Keara listened to the announcement about the theme of perfume that they had to build an idea right away.

”Uncle, the perfume is about love. Hurry up and give a sign for aunt!” Nico shouted excitedly.

”What sign?” Aiden also noticed that Anya was looking at him.

”Follow me!” Nico raised his hand and made a heart sign with his thumb and forefinger, as was usually done by Korean idols.

Aiden followed Nico and asked, ”Isn't this a sign of money? If Anya wins this competition, will she get a lot of money?”

”Hah?” Nico immediately gaped. ”What has love to do with money?”

”Thumb and forefinger like this, isn't this a sign to count money?” Aiden asked with a serious expression.

”Counting money?” Nico immediately bursted out laughing. ”That's right, uncle. If you give money signs like this, auntie will be very happy!”
