"Anya, have you ever loved me? Even if it's just a little?" Raka's question made Anya stop moving. Raka's words were like a sharp knife, piercing the weakest part of her heart, making Anya's heart throb.

'How should I answer your question, Raka?' She thought to herself.

​​

'From my childhood to my teens, you were the only man I loved. Why do you still doubt my love? How could you think that I never loved you? I accompany you to go on a date even though I am tired of work or study. I even fell asleep in the cinema just to go with you to watch your favorite movie. Do you think I accepted money from your mother voluntarily and was happy when I broke up with you?'

'If I didn't love you, why would I want to be with you three years ago?'

'If I didn't love you, why couldn't I love anyone after three years have passed?'

'If I didn't love you, why did I dream of you in the middle of my nights?'

'But today, you are asking me if I ever loved you? Can you really not see my love for you?'

But it was too late. The world had turned completely different. She must forget the past and live her current life, life together with Aiden.

Anya gave him a strained smile, "Not!" She replied.

"ANYA!" Raka roared loudly. His normally warm eyes immediately looked cold and sharp. He got up from his seat. His face looked so angry that the veins on his temples were bulging.

However, Anya would not back down. She must continue acting, "I never loved you, then or now. Go and don't come back." Anya brought the first aid kit and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, the employees who had finished serving customers at the shop were eavesdropping on their conversation. When Anya walked out of the room suddenly, they split up and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Anya just shook her head when she saw the behavior of her new colleagues. It seemed she would also have a hard time at work. But she must not give up. She had been dreaming of this job for a long time.

Raka would not know that Anya was trying to hide her vulnerability and sadness. He felt that his arrival today was just embarrassing himself. He decided to leave the place immediately, not wanting to linger in that place any longer.

Anya returned to her workplace in the special perfume area, seeing Raka leaving the shop in a hurry. Her heart ached seeing the man feel disappointed.

'Raka, our past is just a memory, a memory that we can't repeat. Now everything is different. I belong to someone else. Was it you who came back late or was I the one who turned away too fast? Or maybe the world is playing tricks on us?' Anya mused as she tidied up her workplace.

Anya was still feeling gloomy when Aiden suddenly called her. She looked at the screen of her cell phone displaying Aiden's name with guilt. As soon as Raka left the shop, Aiden suddenly called her. There was no way this was a coincidence, right?

Anya raised her head and looked around her, looking for a figure following her. Aiden's men must be near the place, but Anya didn't know who was following and watching her. She did not see the bridge of his nose.

Raka wasn't aware of Anya's current situation. She was really in a difficult situation. However, Raka came to see her and made things even more troublesome.

Aiden would definitely scold her because she met Raka. Even though Anya had just promised this morning. The day had not changed, yet she'd broken her promise.

Anya took a deep breath and dared herself up to pick up the call, "Hello…"

"I just finished the meeting. How was your first day at work?" Aiden asked in a light tone as if he didn't know what had just happened.

Aiden received information that Anya and Raka were in the employee room, alone for thirty minutes. Harris suggested that Aiden call Anya and ask her situation. The assistant did not care at all whether he'd get fired or not, the most important thing was that the master felt calm.

As soon as Harris left his office, Aiden immediately took Harris's advice and called Anya.

Anya went to the bathroom to pick up a call from Aiden. She lowered her voice and said, "Aiden, do you want to check on me?"

"No, I'm just worried about my wife." Aiden said casually.

Anya just chuckled at Aiden's lie. She knew very well that Aiden must have heard about Raka's arrival at work. Aiden called her to check, but wouldn't admit it.

Anya didn't expect Aiden to be childish like this too!

"My first day was good enough. Mrs. Esther asked me to be in charge of the specialty perfume and fragrance area. The job suited me perfectly. I like it very much!" Anya answered with a smile.

"I also want your perfume to suit my personality. If in one week you can make a perfume that satisfies me, I will grant your wish." Aiden said from across the street.

Aiden's inner voice really hypnotized her, making Anya forget what had just happened.

If she could make a perfume that Aiden wanted, that man would grant her wish!

Anya only wanted Aiden not to fight with Raka. She wanted to live in peace. She wanted Aiden to get rid of the cage in their house. She felt scared every time she saw the cage.

"Are you going to agree to all my requests? Without exception?" Asked Anya, she sounded hopeful. Even though Aiden didn't see Anya in person, he could imagine Anya's sparkling eyes and a smile on her face when she got this opportunity.

Aiden's face looked grim when he heard Anya's words. He knew that Anya would want to ask him not to have anything to do with Raka.

"Hmm ... Of course!" Aiden said.

No matter what perfume Anya made, Aiden would definitely like it. How so? Because it was Anya's handmade.

He only deliberately gave feedback to Anya, wanting to know what Anya really wanted after Raka returned to Indonesia. And Anya naively got into Aiden's bait.

Would she ask him to divorce her and return to Raka's arms?

Would Anya choose to stay by Raka's side even though Raka would never be able to marry her?

Aiden gave Anya one week to think about it carefully. When he returned from overseas, everything would end according to Anya's decision.

"I'm looking forward to it." Aiden said calmly, hiding his raging feelings.

After that, Anya decided to tell Aiden what really happened, "Aiden ..." She began talking quietly. She was a little hesitant to tell what happened because she was afraid Aiden would get angry. But if she didn't tell it, things would get even more complicated.

"What is wrong?" Aiden asked. His heart beat faster when he heard Anya calling out to him.

"Thank you for calling me. Actually, I'm in a really bad mood. Raka came to see me." Said Anya carefully.

"Hmm ..." Aiden replied coldly.

"Are you mad?" Asked Anya.

"Not!" replied Aiden in his low voice. Anya could only close her eyes. From his cold voice, it was clear that Aiden was furious. But he didn't want to admit it.

"Aiden ..." Anya deliberately spoke carefully, "Raka was injured at my workplace. My manager ordered me to treat the wound in the clerk's room. I left the door in the room open. I'm careful not to be alone in the room with Raka."

Finally, the frown on Aiden's forehead disappeared, "Hmm ... Good" He said. At least Anya was not alone with Raka. It made Aiden feel a little calm.

Anya could hear Aiden's answer, one that made her sigh with relief. The crisis was over, Aiden was not angry anymore.

"Aiden, I have to go back to work. I'll tell you when I get home." Anya said.

"Hmm ... Alright!" Aiden immediately hung up on the phone, but his mood had improved.

From outside his office, Harris tried to hold back his smile. His cold master was totally intoxicated with love to act this childish.
