Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 83
Advertisement
"Thank you, sir. But I already have a woman I like." Harris immediately refused when Nico offered his help to find him a lover.
Nico did not expect to hear the answer come out of Harris's mouth. He was stunned for a moment, then turned and looked at Harris. Meanwhile, Harris kept looking straight ahead while balancing his body. He did not want his master's food to be scattered.
"What? You already have a girl that you like? Who is that?" Nico asked curiously. He stepped closer to Harris. His eyes were sparkling, feeling very happy about having a new piece of gossip.
Harris closed his mouth tightly and remained facing forward. He pretended not to hear Nico's question and didn't want to answer it at all. Every now and then he glanced up, saw their current floor, and wished he would soon arrive at Aiden's office floor.
"Who is that? Is it Raisa Mahendra?" Asked Nico again. He did not give up even though Harris ignored him. He also did not feel embarrassed at all because he had known Harris since he was a child. Indeed, Harris's status was just an employee, but Harris was like family to him.
Hearing the name Raisa, Harris frowned. How could Nico suddenly mention Raisa Mahendra's name randomly? "Mr Nico, don't joke around. Miss Raisa likes Mr. Aiden!" Said Harris. His face remained expressionless like before.
Harris made the mistake of responding to Nico so Nico kept pushing him. He would not give up until he got an answer, "If it's not Raisa, then who? Do I know her?" Nico's gossiping habit was completely out of control!
Harris hesitated for a moment before finally answering, "Yes, you will find out when she returned."
Harris's answer made Nico think hard. He remembered all the people around Harris, especially the women who were quite close to him, "I know all the people around you..." Nico racked his brains, looking for the person Harris was referring to, but he couldn't find it.

"Ughh ... Whoaa?" He asked impatiently. It felt like he really didn't like it when curiosity gnawed at his mind.
Harris didn't answer and continued to glance upwards, hoping their elevator would arrive soon. The elevator chimed, signaling that they had arrived at Aiden's office. Once the door opened, he didn't wait for Nico to come out the way he always did. He immediately walked out of the elevator carrying Aiden's lunch tray.
Even after they got into the floor of Aiden's office, Nico still did not give up. He continued to follow him until he arrived at Aiden's office.
As soon as he opened the door to Aiden's office, Nico didn't even say hello and made small talk. He did not get an answer from Harris so he decided to ask his uncle. He was sure his uncle would know!
"Uncle, Harris likes someone. Do you know who that woman is?" Nico asked with determined eyes. He had to find out who Harris liked! He was determined to get an answer!
Aiden just glanced at Nico, "If you have the time pestering Harris, why don't you go after your client to sign the contract right away?" Said Aiden calmly. He could see Harris was feeling a little uneasy.
"It's still lunch time, Uncle. My client is still resting. I can't call him." Nico continued to press Harris, "Harris, tell me. Who is the woman you like?"
Harris cleared his throat awkwardly as Nico continued to force him, "Mr. Nico, this is my personal matter. I can't comment much. When she comes back, I'll take her to you and Mr. Aiden." Harris replied very politely. Although Nico insisted and wanted to know his personal affair, Harris didn't feel angry at all. That was because he knew Nico cared about him so he wanted to know.

"Where is she now? When is she coming home? What does she look like? Is she beautiful?" Nico asked excitedly. His eyes looked at Harris intently, completely unconcerned with Harris's expressionless face.
Harris glanced at Aiden, trying to ask him a favor. His ears buzzed at Nico's endless question.
"Nico, you have a new job..." As soon as Nico heard Aiden was about to give him a new assignment, he immediately interrupted and said, "Ah! Uncle, I just remembered I haven't revised the proposal for my client. I'll go first."
Nico's legs were so agile as he fled from Aiden. He was so used to running away from his uncle that he now knew when the time was right to run.
Harris breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Nico leave Aiden's room. All thanks to Aiden's help. Otherwise, Nico would have kept pushing him until he told him everything.
"Do you really like someone?" Asked Aiden. Unlike Nico who forced Harris to tell the identity of the woman he liked, Aiden asked because he was sincerely happy for Harris's happiness.
He was sure that Harris would not have chosen the wrong woman. Aiden would support and wish Harris happiness because he considered Harris as part of his family.
Harris just nodded and thanked Aiden because Aiden didn't press him like Nico did.
"Harris, the woman you like, the woman you can't tell Nico, is that Nadine?" Asked Aiden suddenly.
Harris felt like he was struck by thunder when he heard the question from Aiden. He thought Aiden didn't know. But it seemed like he really couldn't hide anything from his master. Aiden knew everything.
Aiden could see Harris's expression that was usually completely calm and emotionless, slowly cracked. Seeing that, he immediately understood. He knew that his guess was right.
Harris liked Nadine. Or maybe Harris loved Nadine to be more precise.
Nadine was the illegitimate daughter of Ardan, Aiden's brother and also Nico's father. That meant, Nadine was Nico's half-sister.
Aiden's brother brought Nadine back to their family since Nico's younger sister disappeared because she was kidnapped. From that day on, Nadine became part of the Atmajaya family.
However, there was only one person who disagreed–Nico.
Nico didn't like Nadine. Until now, Nico still thought that his younger sister would never come back because Nadine had taken her place at the Atmajaya Family house. That was why Nico hated Nadine so much.
On the other hand, Harris watched Nadine as much as a sister. Nadine was even much closer to Harris, compared to Nico who was blood related to her. During this time, he thought Harris only thought of Nadine as his younger sister.
Aiden did not expect Harris to like Nadine.
"I can never forget her. She will always be in my heart." Harris said in a low voice. His voice showed both sadness and determination.
"Nadine is dead." Aiden said in a low voice.
Nadine was Keara's assistant. The two of them were always together, including the last time Keara left and never came back. If Keara died, then Nadine's fate would be the same.
They both died and would never come back again...

Macabre Mim
*Note: This story is on hiatus. I intend to pick it up again, but the mood of my life has shifted for the time being and I'm going to be working on a side project for a bit.* What would you give to live the life of your dreams? What kind of deal would you make? And when you were there, forced to stare your dreams in the eye and live them every day, how long would it be... before they broke you? Author's note: This is my first excursion outside the realm of villain fan fiction and I welcome feedback. The thing I've loved most about RRL so far is the potential for writing to be an interactive experience with excited readers. That said, also, the primary genre this is intended for is the blossoming realm of LitRPG. Namely, a slice of life tale in the manner of Grimgar or Re:Zero. So, likewise, I don't expect there will ever be a clear beginning-middle-and-end type of pattern to this story. It will likewise always be a bit more of a reactionary, exploratory novel into realms unknown - much like the 1800 travel-novel theme used by Jules Verne. Or, at least, that is my ambition.
