Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 51
Advertisement
Anya followed Esther into her office. The office looked like an office in general. A desk and work chair was at the end of the room along with sophisticated computer sets. Meanwhile, on the side wall, there was a bookshelf containing various books about perfume.
However, Esther did not step towards her desk as Anya thought. Instead, she walked over to one of the large bookshelves and pushed it away. Suddenly the wall behind the shelf opened, showing a laboratory behind it.
'It was a hidden laboratory ...'
Anya was flabbergasted as she stepped into the secret laboratory. It was like the scene she'd seen in movies.
"There are some of the spices commonly used in my laboratory on the table. How many spices do you know? Can you smell it and tell the difference?" Esther stood aside, folded her arms across her chest. She looked closely at Anya.
Anya walked over to the table, scanning the whole laboratory with sparkling eyes. She fell in love at first sight! This was truly her dream workplace!
Usually she would make perfume in a normal place, not a hidden place that was huge and full of various spices and herbs like this.
"Can I touch it?" Anya asked Esther.
"Please. These are the spices I chose for the job interview." Esther replied, stretching out her hand, inviting Anya to touch the ingredients.
Anya touched the spices on the table and watched them closely, "Cardamom, iris, balsam…" She named them as she glanced at Esther. She didn't know whether she should continue or not.
"Hmm ... How about that one?" Esther pointed at the spice.
Anya took the spices Esther pointed to and smelled its aroma. She closed her eyes, trying to remember the familiar scent in her mind.
Her eyes lit up as they opened again, "Benzoin?"
"Yes! Continue!" Esther nodded in satisfaction.
"Lemon extract, rose essential oil, violet flowers, lavender, tuberose, musk..."
When Anya mentioned the spices one by one, suddenly Esther's cell phone rang. Esther took her cell phone out of her lab robe and saw Imel's name on the screen.
She did not immediately answer the call. She turned to look at Anya first and asked, "Can you make perfume?"

"Yes." Anya replied, nodding her head.
"Make a unique perfume of your own creation with the existing spices. Your work clothes are over there. I'll pick up the phone for a moment." Esther said, pointing to a shelf in the corner of the room. After that, she immediately turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
The laboratory doors then closed, leaving Anya the only person there. However, she didn't mind at all. She was currently in the perfume world. Her heart had never been this peaceful.
She closed her eyes and smelled the scent in the air while thinking about what kind of perfume she should make. She had to think about the theme first.
When she closed her eyes, Aiden's face suddenly appeared in her mind. Today was her first date with Aiden. Maybe she should make a perfume about love.
She immediately put on the work clothes that Esther showed her, avoiding any dirt or other substances contaminating her perfume and changing the scent of her perfume.
…
Meanwhile, Esther sat down at her desk. She received a call from Imel while looking at the computer in front of her which was connected to CCTV in the laboratory room. She secretly observed all of Anya's movements in her laboratory.
"Esther, don't let the wolves enter your cage. Anya Tedjasukmana is no ordinary person. She is the daughter of Diana Hutama." Imel said from across the phone.
Esther listened to Imel's warning as she tapped her fingers on the table and thought.
"In my eyes, Anya is just a college girl who needs money and a job. I don't care who her mother is." Esther replied casually.
"I'm good enough to remind you not to fall like me. I had a big loss because of Diana. Don't be sorry if you get stuck like me." Imel said irritably before hanging up the phone unilaterally.
After the call ended, Esther did not immediately return to the laboratory. She watched Anya from her computer secretly. She did not want to disturb the girl's concentration when creating her own perfume.
Anya's face was full of smiles when she mixed various ingredients for her perfume. She really enjoyed the process.

Until finally, Anya lifted her head and a sense of satisfaction showed on her face. Esther rose from her chair and entered the laboratory.
Anya immediately handed Esther a small bottle of perfume filled with enthusiasm, "Mrs. Esther, this is a perfume that I created myself. I call it… First love." Anya's face looked shy when she said it.
The smell of green tea mixed with jasmine created a fragrant yet light aroma. The mix of mimosa and acacia flowers was sweet but not too overwhelming. Like a spoiled little girl who fell in love for the first time.
Not only that, Esther was surprised as the scent of flowers slowly disappeared and was replaced with a soft and faint lemon scent. All the scents were smelled alternately, felt light, none of which stood out from each other. Truly like an inexperienced girl, tasting the taste of love for the first time.
Esther felt her heart flutter from Anya's perfume, but she tried to hide it and said calmly, "You are accepted. Tomorrow you can start work."
Anya felt so happy. She got hired! She did not expect things to go this smoothly.
"Thank you, ma'am! I will work hard." Anya thanked her as she bowed her body. Her joy could not be expressed in words.
Esther just stared at her with a smile, "Regarding hours of work and salary, ask Ben. He is the store manager in charge of all the employees in this shop. He will explain everything to you."
"Well! Thanks again, Mrs. Esther. I will say goodbye first!" Anya said as she hurried towards the door.
Being too excited, she forgot that she was still wearing the shop's work clothes. "Ehem ... Please return her work clothes." Said Esther, clearing her throat.
Anya's face immediately flushed with embarrassment. She immediately took off the clothes and hung them on the original shelf.
Esther's gaze lingered on Anya until she could no longer be seen from her study.
…
Outside Esther's office, Anya met Ben again. They descended together towards the lower floor.
"Tomorrow, Mrs. Esther won't come to the shop. You can work on the first floor and adapt to the shop environment first. You also have to quickly learn about Rose's products." Ben explained.
"Fine," Anya replied, nodding, "What about my working hours?"
"Work hours are from 8 am to 5 pm every day and you can rest at 12 o'clock. Your salary will be calculated by the hour. Are there any other questions?" Asked Ben.
"Nothing." Answered Anya. She had absolutely no objection to the arrangement. She was very much ready to go to work.
Ben nodded at Anya's answer, satisfied that this new employee didn't complain much, "These are products made by Rose. There are perfumes, essential oils, and aromatherapy candles. We also receive special orders from customers who want to make their own perfume." Ben gave Anya a brief explanation about Rose.
When Anya was walking around the shop with Ben and learning about the various products and ins and outs of Rose, someone suddenly mentioned her name.
"Anya!" It was a woman's voice that sounded shrill, coming from the direction of the shop door.
Anya lifted her head and looked towards the shop door. A young girl stood in front of the shop wearing fancy clothes, high heels and a branded bag.
Seeing that girl, Anya felt like hiding! She had to get out of that place immediately!
Raisa was standing in front of the door of the Rose Scent!
The employees at the shop immediately greeted her with warmth and a big smile, "Welcome to Rose Scent."
"Sir, it looks like a customer has come. You must be busy right now. I will say goodbye first. Tomorrow I'll be working soon!" Anya said hastily. She immediately turned around and walked towards the side door with brisk steps.
Raisa immediately ran and blocked Anya's path when she saw that the woman was about to leave from the side door.
"Anya ..." Raisa said her name with a sweet smile.
However, the cute smile on the girl's face made Anya feel a bad feeling...

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
