Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 135

"There will be a perfume contest in October. I was invited to be the judge. Do you want to register?" Esther asked.
Anya's face was bright and her eyes sparkled. However, a second later, she remembered her mother's message and shook her head, "My mom won't let me take part in perfume contests."
"Why?" Esther didn't understand why Diana did it.
"She said the time was not right and I had to wait patiently." Anya answered.
Esther nodded, "Your mother must have a reason. The registration deadline is September 15. There's still enough time to think about it!"
"If my mother wakes up before registration closes, I will ask her advice. If she hasn't woken up, I'll wait for the next opportunity." Said Anya with a faint smile.
Esther could see the sadness on Anya's face when talking about her mother, so she immediately changed the subject.
"By the way, I like the two samples of your perfume. I like it very much! You really are talented!" Esther praised her.
"Miss Esther, don't praise me too much. I still need a lot to learn. There is no stopping for studying." Anya humbly replied.
Esther laughed, "It's great if you want to keep learning." Then, she looked at her watch and said, "I have to go to the Atmajaya Group company immediately to sign a contract. Then I'll meet up with a friend to talk about your new perfume."
"I've found people to complete the required procedures." Anya said.
Esther did not question who the person Anya was asking for help. She just said, "Anya, Aiden really spoiled you. No matter what your past relationship with Raka is, you have to start learning to respect the people around you."
Anya nodded, "I've forgotten my past."
"This is my notebook. You can read and learn about it." Said Esther while handing her a leatherback book.
Anya accepted the book as if she was receiving a sacred valuable treasure, "Am I really allowed to see the contents?"

"Those are just notes and experiences regarding several experiments in making perfume. I hope that book can help you." Esther smiled as she said it, then immediately said goodbye, "You can see it. I will go to the Atmajaya Group company."
"Thank you, Mrs. Esther!" Anya accepted the book happily.
After Esther left the Rose Scent, Anya went down to the special perfume manufacturing area carrying the notebook.
Mila immediately brought a chair for Anya, "Miss, please sit here."
"You can call me Anya, no need to be too polite." Anya said with a smile.
Mila hesitated for a moment because she was dealing with her boss's wife. However, in the end she did what Anya said, "Anya, there is a job interview for the assistant parfumeur position at ten o'clock and Mrs. Esther is not at the shop. Can you replace her?"
Anya stared at her and immediately said, "I can only make perfume. I have absolutely no experience interviewing someone!"
"I will keep you company. You just need to test the interviewee's knowledge of perfume and I can help with other things." Mila said with a smile.
"Oh! Okay then." Anya nodded.
"When the person comes, I'll tell you. I won't bother you anymore." Mila turned to leave Anya to continue her work.
Anya sank back into Esther's notebook when suddenly someone brought a large bouquet of very beautiful flowers.
"Excuse me, there is a delivery for Miss Anya." Said the person.
Hearing her name mentioned, Anya immediately raised her head and said, "I am Anya."
"These are flowers for you. Please sign here." The person immediately handed over the flower he was carrying and all the shop's staff looked curiously at Anya.
After signing the receipt, Anya saw the flowers sent for her. It's a Bergamot!
A ripe bergamot was cut along with the twigs and branches, then surrounded with flowers and covered with exquisite wrapping paper.

Who else if not Raka sent it? He promised to send the bergamot when it grew.
"What flower is that? The flowers are beautiful and smell like oranges." Said an employee.
"I've just seen this kind of flower for the first time."
"This is a bergamot. It can also be eaten." Anya said. There were no cards in the bouquet. However, Anya didn't need it because she knew that the sender was definitely Raka.
Raka once said that the Bergamot they planted together would grow fruit for the first time this year.
It was ironic that the bergamot they planted grew and flourished, while their love had died.
"Bergamot is one of the spices used to make perfume. Someone who sent it must really think about you." Mila thought that Aiden was the one who sent the flowers for her.
Anya didn't answer. She gave the flower to Mila and said, "Share it with everyone. The fruit is very sweet and the peel can be stored in the bathroom to get rid of the bad smell."
"Thank you." Mila received the bouquet from Anya and saw the very beautiful bergamot. She felt reluctant to give it to others. Finally, she took the flower to the clerk's room, took a picture and sent it to Harris.
After seeing the photo, Harris immediately called her, "Who sent it?"
"Didn't Mr. Aiden send it?" Asked Mila in surprise.
Harris did not answer Mila's question and asked in return, "Which flower shop is the bouquet from? Do you remember?"
"Fleur florist." Mila answered.
"Fine." Harris immediately hung up and checked it.
Together with Nico, Aiden walked out of the meeting room. Harris immediately rushed over to him. "Sir, Mrs. Esther is waiting for you in the waiting room."
"Send her into my office." Aiden said calmly.
"Sir, I just found out that Mr. Raka sent madam a bergamot bouquet. I heard that bergamot is a type of spice." Harris reported.
Aiden's steps stopped immediately and his entire body stiffened. A cold aura emitted from him even though he didn't say anything.
"Bergamot in the language of flowers means luck. If Raka gives Aunty bergamot, doesn't that mean she has given up on her and wishes her luck in the future?" Nico tried to make excuses for his friend's sake.
"Ah! It turns out that flowers have a deep meaning. Mr. Raka must have given up." Harris could also see Aiden's scary face so he tried to help Nico to calm him down.
Aiden's face calmed slightly at Nico's persuasion, "Nico, I'm going to the hospital this afternoon. If Deny comes, you take care of him."
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why do you want to go to the hospital?" Nico asked, worried.
"Mr. Aiden and Mrs. Anya will see the doctor to discuss Mrs. Diana's treatment." Harris replied.
"Oh!" Nico thought for a moment before asking, ��Uncle, if Deny is here, how should I deal with him? Should I be friendly? Polite? Please tell me!"
"You can do whatever you want. Don't be polite to that bastard!" Aiden said coldly.
Nico immediately burst out laughing, "Alright then!" He said with a whistle, looking forward to his meeting with Deny.
"Mr. Nico, yesterday Mr. Deny met Mr. Aiden to discuss the engagement with Natali. Since Mr. Aiden has Madame now, so you… "
"Uncle, you won't let me marry Natali, right? Don't sacrifice me, please! I beg you…" Nico immediately looked panicked when he heard Harris's explanation.
"Then marry Raisa!" Aiden casually replied.
"Uncle, are you sure? If I married Raisa, Raka would be my brother-in-law. I'll see him more and more often." Nico said on purpose.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.

The story will shift perspectives between the two, as well as other members of the Hive. Follow along on their adventures for; the friends they make, the enemies they slay, and the questions they seek to answer. Thank you for reading, as always. ^.^ Afterword: Hello there everyone, and welcome back those that have already read the first story. If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
