Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 290
Advertisement
In her perfume room, Anya just rested her head on the table with dreary eyes. She had no inspiration at all.
Suddenly, she received a call from Nico.
Her head was still resting on the table as she stared at the screen of her cellphone under the lamp. She didn't want to pick up the call. She didn't want to talk to anyone.
But Nico didn't give up and kept calling her, over and over again.
Anya was annoyed to see Nico teasing her all the time. Finally, she answered the phone and asked in a weak voice, "Nico, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, this is bad! Uncle is going to have dinner with Keara. Harris had reserved a place for them. Get them quickly!" Nico said frantically.
The shocking news from Nico immediately made Anya lift her head from the table. She sat up straight. "What do you mean? Aiden and Keara are going on a date?"
"Yes! Now Keara is in uncle's office and they are going to have dinner at a restaurant!" Nico shouted.
"Ah..." Anya replied weakly.
"I'll send you the location of the restaurant. Quickly change into your best clothes and tell the woman that uncle is yours, Auntie!" Nico insisted.
"Are you telling me to catch the two of them while having an affair?" Anya asked, laughing at herself blandly.
"Auntie, don't you have a heart? Your husband will be snatched away by another woman. How can you still laugh?" Nico said helplessly. "Don't you love my uncle? If you love him, hurry up and grab him back!"
"I..." Anya wanted to say that she really loved Aiden. And since she loved Aiden, she wanted Aiden to be happy, even though he wasn't with her.
But the words couldn't come out of her mouth…
"What are you doing? Hurry and go auntie! Otherwise, uncle will belong to Keara!" Nico hung up the phone and immediately sent the location to Anya.
Anya saw the location of the restaurant that Aiden ordered on her cellphone. It was a famous western restaurant on the top floor of where Iris was.

If Aiden brought Keara to that place for dinner, everyone would know about it.
Tomorrow morning, all the newspapers and magazines, as well as the entire internet, would announce that Anya had been abandoned. Aiden prefered to return to his old lover, Keara.
Anya sat on her chair hesitantly.
She had doubts. Should she thwart Aiden's meeting?
If she didn't leave, she would be the laughing stock of the whole city tomorrow. Once she started college next week, she would be the subject of all her classmates.
If she left, how would she explain it in front of Aiden?
Didn't she already say she wanted to help Aiden and Keara? However, upon learning that they were going out to dinner together, Anya turned to them like a jealous wife. How could she do it?
She doubted whether she should go or not.
Anya took out a coin from her pocket and muttered to herself, "If numbers come up, I'll go to Aiden's place. If a picture comes up, I will give up,"
She tossed her coin once and the number she wanted did not appear. She must give up!
"I'll do it three times!" Anya threw it one more time, but the result was still the same.
"Five times!" Anya threw it repeatedly, but the result was the same.
"What did I say earlier? If it's numbers I'll give up, if it's drawing I'll go?" Anya scratches her head in confusion. Her mind was so chaotic that she forgot her own rules.
Or was she pretending to forget? So that she had a reason to meet Aiden…
"All the results are the same! That means I have to go find Aiden as soon as possible!" Anya finally decided.
As soon as she came out of the perfume room, Anya saw Hana coming towards her. "Anya, Aiden is not having dinner today. What do you want to eat? Let me make it!"
"I'm not eating. I will go!" Anya quickly rushed back to her room.

She was standing in front of her closet, staring at a row of beautiful clothes. Finally, she picked up the white dress that Aiden liked. The branded dress was expensive. Aiden bought this dress for her and her husband once said she looked very beautiful in it.
After changing her clothes, Anya sat in front of the dressing table and made up her face elegantly.
Once her face was perfectly set up and she was ready, she felt uncertain again.
Did she really have to go?
What if Aiden got annoyed when he saw her coming?
She had already said that she would leave Aiden and help him get back together with Keara. But what was she doing now?
Aiden would only have dinner with Keara. But once she found out about it, Anya immediately rushed to disturb them. Wouldn't Aiden be angry?
Anya was really confused. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and asked, "Anya, can you really just let Aiden go?"
When she hesitated, her cell phone rang again. Nico called her for the umpteenth time.
Anya picked up Nico's call. "Nico, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, a lily was delivered to the president director's office just now. The lily flower means pure love. Isn't that very strange?" Nico said frantically.
"Looks like I better not go. I don't want to disturb them," Anya replied in a low voice. She was embarrassed.
"Keara was engaged to my uncle, that's true. After having a brief relationship with uncle, Keara felt bored and ended up having an affair with Uncle Ivan. Now, she wants to break her engagement to Uncle Ivan and return to your husband. Are you really willing to see your husband stolen by a woman like Keara?" Nico asked.
"I... I don't know," Anya really didn't know what to do. Her brain was in complete chaos.
"Listen to my advice, Auntie. If you go there, uncle will be very happy!" Nico said.
"Your uncle is going out with Keara. If I go there, I'll just screw things up. How could he be happy?"
"Auntie, you know he'll be happy," Nico said mysteriously.
"Then, I'll be there," after thinking for a moment, Anya decided to leave.
Anya returned to her perfume room and took two perfume samples before going downstairs.
Hana rushed over to her and asked, "Anya, where are you going? I'll have someone escort you,"
Anya paused and nodded. "I'm going to Iris to discuss perfume samples with Mrs. Esther."
"You've been in the perfume room all day and want to leave without eating at all. When you finish talking with Mrs. Esther, don't forget to eat!" Hana said.
When she heard this, Anya nodded. "Okay."
As soon as she got into the car and left, she saw Hana still standing at the door of the house. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
When she thought of the words 'divorce', her heart ached so much that she had difficulty breathing.
She would lose all of this…
The guard who escorted Anya then drove the car out of their housing estate. However, due to roadworks, they had to turn quite a distance.
Anya knew the area around this place so she ordered the guards to take a shortcut. The guard saw the narrow road and did not dare to go through it.
"Madame, this is a one-way street. What if there is a car from the other direction?"
"I'm really in a hurry. If we turn around, we will take 20 minutes longer. Hurry up. You can drive faster so you don't bump into other cars," Anya insisted.
"I've never driven in this way. I'm afraid something will happen. It's dangerous if there are cars from the front and back," the guard said warily.
