Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 518
Advertisement
"Anya, are you and Aiden back together?" Mila stopped Anya when she was about to go to Aiden's office to have lunch with him.
Anya looked at Mila with an unpredictable gaze. Then, a faint smile crossed her face. "My relationship with Aiden is my personal matter. It's nobody's business,"
Mila could only smile awkwardly. "I didn't mean to gossip. I only care about you,"
"Thank you for your concern. Right now, I'm focusing on the competition and don't want to talk about feelings. If someone talks about my privacy, please help me to stop it," Anya said with a smile on her face.
Anya said it while smiling, but somehow Mila felt that smile was different. Her smile was not like her old smile, from when Anya was still innocent. Now, Mila couldn't guess what Anya was thinking and planning. Anya had changed a lot in the past two years.
Anya still remembered very well. Two years ago, when she passed out in front of Iris, Anya saw Mila standing not far from her. But Mila didn't help her.
Right now, Mila wasn't worried about her, but just wanted to know if Anya really got back with Aiden.
Two years ago, Mila's crime was not exposed because Anya and Aiden were fighting at that time.
But when Anya thought it over again, Aiden didn't agree with the Atmajaya Family's decision to abort her pregnancy. However, Mila said nothing and let her pass out in front of Iris, even though she was Aiden's subordinate.
Anya didn't know what this meant. Maybe someone told Mila to do it…
In short, Anya couldn't trust Mila anymore. She felt that Mila was no longer loyal to Aiden.
After realizing all this, Anya knew she had to be careful and watchful of Mila while she was in Iris.
"Anya, don't worry. I won't let anyone spread bad news about your relationship with Aiden," Mila replied, promising Anya.
"If Mrs. Esther asks me, tell her Aiden asked me to have lunch together. I will come back again after break time," Anya said on purpose.

She deliberately wanted to lure Mila, to make her believe that she and Aiden were back together.
In fact, Diana and Esther already knew that Aiden forced Anya to accompany him to lunch. All this was so that she could be freed from the work contract without paying compensation fees.
Both Diana and Esther felt that Anya wasn't harmed by the deal. Although Anya was not happy, she finally decided to agree.
When Harris came to pick her up, Anya immediately cleaned up all her belongings and went with him.
"Madame, how was your first day of work?" Harris asked.
Anya's opinion towards Harris had changed, so she replied sarcastically, "Why do you ask? Do you think I'm having too much time on my hands? Do you want to find more trouble for me… "
Harris wasn't offended by Anya's answer at all. He laughed instead. "Did you blame me for the contract problem?"
"Harris, do you remember who helped you when Aiden wanted to fire you? Actually what did I do wrong to you? Before this, you also trapped me in the garden guarantee issue. And now you are repeating it with this work contract," Anya was very angry with Harris.
Harris couldn't do anything else. He worked for Aiden, that's why he always had to consider Aiden everytime he made a decision.
"Madame, you have to sign a contract wherever you work," Harris said.
"But that contract you made was so unfair to me. You intended to set me up from the start," Anya said.
"The contract was shown to you and I didn't force you to sign it," Harris replied bluntly.
"Harris, I really believe in you, but you actually set me up like this. I left Indonesia two years ago, hoping I could start a new life. But because of you, I'm forced to work for my ex-husband. Not only that, I have to accompany him to lunch for three months. All of this is because of you," Anya said.
Harris seemed not to care about Anya's complaints. "Madame, you can have lunch for free for three months and it's my mother's cooking. Isn't that good for you?"

"What's good about it? It's only good if I could eat your mother's cooking by myself. But when I eat with Aiden, I feel nauseous," Anya said without the slightest fear.
"Many people want to eat with him but they can't. Madame, you should be honored," Harris replied casually.
Anya could not argue with his words. When she worked as Aiden's secretary, there were many people calling and wanting to make appointments to eat together with him, but Aiden always refused.
Indeed, Aiden had a very handsome face that could attract many women. Apart from that, he was the CEO of the Atmajaya Group, which only made it natural for any businessman to work with him.
But Aiden was Anya's ex-husband! How could Anya eat peacefully with him?
"Just see. When I meet Aiden later, I'll ask him to fire you!" Anya couldn't argue with Harris so she could only threaten him.
"Madame, I am only doing my job. I'm sorry to offend you, but I'm doing all this for Mr. Aiden. Never doubt my loyalty to him," Harris begged Anya sincerely.
Anya did not think that the empty threat would work! She could only smile with satisfaction, like a child.
In truth, the threat was meaningless. She was no longer Aiden's wife and she wouldn't be able to make such a request.
But at times like these, Anya didn't care anymore. If she could use Aiden's name to threaten people, why not?
Even though it was possible that Aiden secretly praised Harris for successfully deceiving her like this.
Anya could only take a deep breath at the thought of this stupidity.
…
Aiden's car stopped in front of the Atmajaya Group's entrance. It was lunch hour so a lot of people were in the lobby, going to lunch or taking a break.
They all widened their eyes when they saw Anya's arrival.
"Is that Anya or Keara?"
"Keara doesn't get that kind of special treatment. It must be Anya."
"Her face still looks young and beautiful, it must be Anya. Keara's face looks creepy lately."
"Uh, your mouth is so cruel. What kind of creepy face are you talking about!"
"It's been two years since Mr. Aiden and Anya separated. Keara kept trying to get to Mr. Aiden's heart but was always ignored. That's why her face is getting worse lately."
"You see, Anya still looks very beautiful and charming even after two years. Looks like Keara will burn when she sees her,"
"Madame, do you want me to stop them?" Harris asked in a low voice.
Anya just sighed in resignation. "Leave them alone. I know everyone will look at me and talk about me ever since Aiden took me out for lunch. If I couldn't survive on the first day, how could I survive for three months? Just leave them be, I don't care,"
"The elevator has arrived, Madame," Harris led Anya to the CEO's elevator.
When the elevator reached the top floor, Harris stepped forward to the door and knocked on it. After that, he opened the door for Anya and left.
When entering the room, Anya saw Aiden still sitting behind his desk, looking at the screen while holding the cellphone in his hand seriously.
Anya was just silent, not urging Aiden to finish his job quickly. She considered herself nothing but a partner for lunch. If Aiden was busy, she would wait for him.
After waiting ten minutes, Aiden finally finished and walked over to the sofa.
Without saying much, Anya opened the lunch box on the dining table and arranged it.
When she opened the flask and saw the contents, Anya realized that the soup wasn't made for Aiden, but for her.
She recognized the soup.
Mrs. Hana always made this soup for her when she was not in good health before.
"Was this soup made for me on purpose?"

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
