"What do you want to do? Do you want to voluntarily drop the charges?" Aiden asked.

"I plan to ask Raka to explain it." Anya carefully said.

​​

"Hmm… It's up to you. If you believe Raka can explain it for you, you can use him." Aiden replied calmly.

Anya bit her lip and asked doubtfully, "Are you angry?"

"What do you think?" Aiden did not answer Anya's question.

"If you have a former lover and are still involved with your ex until now, I might feel uncomfortable. So…"

"So, let Raka solve this problem as soon as possible so that he doesn't bother you anymore."Aiden finished what Anya wanted to say.

Anya smiled at Aiden's answer. It seemed that the man knew everything she was thinking, "How do you know everything I think? You are great, indeed."

Aiden snorted coldly at Anya's praise, "Do you think I will let go of the Mahendra Family just because you praise me a little?"

Anya was shocked to hear that. She didn't mean to do that. She was really amazed because Aiden seemed to know everything in her head. However, Aiden was very sensitive when talking about anything related to Raka from the start.

Now Raisa deliberately made a big fuss involving Raka to the point of making Irena come to threaten Anya.

Aiden was a very possessive man. He didn't want anything that belonged to him to be touched by others and now Anya was his, the woman was precious to him. He would not let anyone, especially Raka Mahendra, touch what belonged to him.

However, Raisa deliberately insulted Anya in public. For Aiden, that was tantamount to insulting him.

Anya didn't dare think what if the Mahendra Family could not solve this problem properly. She didn't dare imagine what Aiden would do when he returned.

Would Aiden take this opportunity to get the land owned by the Mahendra Family?

"That is not what I mean. If Raka can't finish it right, I'll wait for you to come back. I don't want to deal with them anymore. I'm tired of seeing them all coming to my workplace all the time." Anya's voice sounded weak.

"Hmm… Quickly change your clothes. Harris will solve everything." Aiden felt a little calm hearing Anya depend on him. He knew that Anya had tried her best so that she would not just be bullied by the Mahendra family. If the Mahendra family overstepped their line, Aiden would step in.

"Please, come home soon!" Anya said before hanging up the phone.

She changed her clothes and walked out of the changing room. The woman saw Raka and Harris talking in the hallway in front of the shop.

Irena came to Rose Scent and threatened Anya because she really wanted to protect her daughter. She forgot that now Anya was Aiden's lover. Just because her husband was currently abroad, Irena and Raisa didn't know how to behave themselves. Only Raka understood.

Anya was not a woman who could do this. Forcing Raisa to apologize in public most definitely wasn't her wish. The idea must have come from Aiden.

That's why Raka came to Rose Scent when Anya finished work. He wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible and get his wayward sister out of the police station.

"Mr. Raka, Mr. Aiden has no intention of getting involved with you. But he couldn't allow Madame to be publicly insulted like this. And he does not want you to keep coming to her everyday affecting her life and work." Harris said everything candidly in front of Raka.

"I've recorded an apology video to Anya and published it on the internet." Raka said. Then he turned to Anya, "Would you like to see it?"

"Just show it to Harris" Anya believed Harris's ability to solve problems.

Raka immediately opened the recording and gave his cellphone to Harris. Harris just nodded at Anya and accepted the cellphone given by Raka, preparing to check the recording that had been circulating.

"Good evening, I am Raka Mahendra. Miss Anya has been harmed because of the irresponsible attitude and actions of my sister, Raisa Mahendra. Here, I represent my sister to wish to express my sincere apology to Miss Anya. Please don't misunderstand and don't believe a lie that aims to hurt innocent people. My parents and I will act firmly on my sister, so that she doesn't repeat the same mistakes and is more responsible in behaving. Once again, I apologize to Miss Anya."

Raka bowed deeply towards the camera after finishing his apology in the recording. His actions were full of sincerity.

"How is it, Madame?" Asked Harris to Anya. Harris felt that the apology was enough to clear Anya's good name, but he had to question Anya as his superior again.

"I trust your judgment." Anya said, "Raisa doesn't want to show her face in public. But I still demand an apology from her."

"I'll tell her to apologize to you." Said Raka.

Anya turned her gaze to Harris and said, "Harris, I'm tired and want to go home. You and Attorney Eddy should go to the police station. After receiving an apology from Raisa, drop the charges and settle it privately."

"Yes, madame." Harris replied.

"Anya, thank you!" Raka happily said.

Anya looked at Raka and said quietly, "Raka, I'm not the type to be friends with my former lover after we split. Don't appear in front of me again if you don't have any business. I don't want to see you and see your whole family again."

"I am sorry. Did my mother say something bad to you?" Raka asked, his tone sounded regretful.

"I'm really jealous of Raisa. No matter what and how big a mistake she did, someone is always willing to sort things out for her. But I also feel sorry for your future wife. They will have in-laws like your mother and Raisa." Those sharp words left Anya's sweetly smiling lips, "I'm grateful that I separated from you three years ago."

"Anya, why did you hurt my heart on purpose?" Raka frowned, "I know you didn't mean it that way."

Anya glanced at Harris who was beside her, "Harris, do you think my opinion is wrong?"

"No. Madame is right." Harris replied. He didn't just agree with Anya's words just because Anya was his boss's wife. But it's true, Irena and Raisa were two troublesome women.

"Very well, I won't keep you here anymore so you can quickly finish your assignment and rest. I'm going home." Anya said to Harris. She didn't even say goodbye to Raka because she didn't want to.

The woman turned her body around and walked straight towards the mall's exit without looking for a second time.

On the way home, Anya leaned back weakly, feeling all the strength in her body had run out. When could she face Raka calmly? When could she face him without even caring about him, without feeling this tired?

It seemed she still had a lot to learn from Aiden in the future, so that people wouldn't treat her as they pleased.

When Anya arrived home, it was almost ten in the evening. Anya was so tired that she didn't want to talk.

"Anya, I've prepared a warm bath for you. Take a shower and rest!" Hana said, looking worriedly at her.

"Thank you. Mrs. Hana? Is it troublesome if I ask for a cup of hot tea?" Anya asked.

"I'll prepare it." Hana had heard what happened today from Harris. She knew that Anya must be mentally and physically exhausted.

"I'll go back to my room." Anya smiled a smile on her lips, but all that appeared was a weak smile.

After returning to her room, Anya put down her bag and went to the bathroom carrying her cellphone.

The bathtub in the bathroom was filled with warm water and rose petals floating on the surface. The warm water was still steaming, while the fragrance of lavender essential oil could still be smelled in the air.

Anya immediately took off all her clothes and soaked in the warm water.

She closed her eyes and leaned her head back, feeling comfortable with the warm water that washed away all the fatigue in her. Suddenly, her cellphone rang. The voice of the cell phone indicated that it was Aiden who was calling her. But this time, Aiden sent her a video call.

Anya received the video call. Her cellphone's camera was not pointing at her face, but at her feet submerging in the bathtub.

On the other side, Aiden did not find Anya's face on his cellphone screen. He only saw Anya's feet which were immersed in the water. The water looked so clear that Anya's long legs could be seen vaguely. There were scatters of rose petals floating around her, the color looked contrasting with Anya's milky skin tone.

Aiden felt his throat tighten. He swallowed hard when he saw what was displayed on the screen of his cellphone

"Are you taking a shower?"
