On the first day of work, Ben told Anya to learn the ins and outs of the shop on the first floor. He wanted Anya to immediately adapt to the surrounding environment so that she could help Rose Scent better.

Previously, Ben called all employees to introduce Anya. Every day, he held a meeting the morning before the shop opened, to share the assignment with the working employees.

​​

"Today we have a new colleague at Rose Scent. Her name is Anya and she will be Mrs. Esther's assistant. While Mrs. Esther is away for duty, Anya will replace Mrs. Esther's job at the shop."

"Hello all. My name is Anya. I'm the new perfumer's assistant. I'm looking forward to working with you." Anya looked down a little and said politely.

However, everyone did not warmly welcome her introduction. They all looked at Anya sarcastically and muttered to themselves. Even though they were whispering, Anya could clearly hear what they were saying.

"We all work to survive, while you only seek experience. How troublesome."

"Who wants to cooperate with her, let alone help her!"

"We are not responsible for taking care of her. Don't pay attention."

Anya only smiled faintly at the insinuations of her new colleagues. They might all feel jealous because they think Anya came from a rich family who would only trouble them. She didn't feel angry and tried to explain, "I am no different from all of you. I come from a poor family. My mom worked hard so she could pay my tuition fees."

"Since childhood, I helped my mother to take care of the garden so I am very sensitive to scents. My dream is to become a perfumer. I worked hard to get there. I'm very grateful to be accepted to work at Rose Scent and I'll work hard." She continued.

Even though she introduced herself sincerely, Anya still didn't get a good response from her new colleagues. Seeing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Ben immediately interrupted, "Alright, the meeting is over! Let's clear the shop's tables and windows. Anya, you help me organize the shelves and study Rose products." Ben said.

"Fine," Anya nodded and followed Ben to one of the shelves. She wiped the glass shelves and all displayed glass bottles carefully while studying the names of the products on the display window. She tried to memorize the names and the shape of the bottle.

"Bring these coffee beans to the aroma area for the customers." Ben gave Anya a small bag of coffee beans.

"Was this Mrs. Esther's idea to provide coffee beans in the aroma area?" Anya took the bag containing the coffee beans and poured it into a glass bowl in the area.

"Right. Ms. Esther said when customers smell perfume, their smell will be insensitive and it is difficult to distinguish between scents. So the coffee beans are placed in the aroma test area so customers can neutralize their smell again." Ben explained while looking at Anya, "How did you know, anyway?"

"When I smell too many strong aromas and my smell becomes insensitive, I also use coffee beans for the same purpose." Anya said with a smile.

Ben just nodded, responding to Anya's answer, "Mrs. Esther told me that while she was gone, you would be in charge of the special perfume and fragrance area. If there are customers who want to make special perfumes, you have to serve them." Ben ordered.

Anya was both surprised and happy. She did not expect that she would immediately get a big responsibility on the first day of work, "I will not disappoint you!" She said excitedly.

"Very nice. Go to a specialty perfume making area and study your new workplace. There are some ingredients that have been mixed and some are still raw." Ben said, taking Anya to her new workplace.

The work desk in the specialty perfume manufacturing area overlooked the shop entrance. When customers entered the shop, they could immediately see the special perfume manufacturing area. However, it was rare for people to visit it. Most of them preferred to buy ready-made perfumes.

They preferred to go directly to the fragrance area, chose the perfume they like and paid directly at the cashier.

At nine o'clock, Raka entered the shop before the employees even finished cleaning.

One of the shop clerks immediately noticed the arrival of their shop's first guest, "Good morning, welcome to Rose!" Greeted the employee warmly.

Raka's tall body stood towering at the entrance to the Rose Scent. His neat clothes and makeup showed that he came from the upper class.

Raka and his family were also very well known in the city. Many women were dying to be his lovers. They didn't even care how much Raka's wealth was. Even though Raka was not rich, they still wanted to date Raka because of his extraordinary good looks and humility.

A tabloid once discussed businessmen and men from influential families in the city and chose the three highest ranking people. Aiden ranked first with his cold nature, making any woman try their hardest to melt his heart. The second was Raka, who was humble and gentle with every woman. The third place was occupied by Nico, with his playboy nature who could conquer every woman's heart easily as if turning a palm.

Raka walked into the shop and saw Anya was in a special perfume manufacturing area. He immediately said to the employee who greeted him, "I want to make a special perfume." His deep voice sounded a little hoarse.

When she heard the voice, Anya immediately lifted her head and saw that Raka was already in the shop. Her body stiffened and she felt very uncomfortable.

'What is Raka doing here? Was yesterday's incident not clear enough?'

Raka didn't want to believe Anya's explanation. Nor did he want to listen to Nico's advice. As soon as he knew that Aiden was going abroad today, he came to meet Anya.

But Aiden didn't just leave. Before leaving, he made a cage for Raka if he dared to mess with Anya.

Anya had promised Aiden that she would not meet Raka. She also promised not to make things difficult for Harris. What if Harris got fired because of her? Just thinking about it made Anya feel dizzy.

Ben, who knew Raka's status in this city, immediately stepped forward and greeted him, "Mr. Raka, this is your first time making a special perfume, right? I don't know what kind of perfume you like."

"I love a soothing aroma." His gaze fell on Anya's face as he said this. His voice was light and a smile spread across his lips, "I want to ask the perfumer's help."

"Of course." Replied Ben with a big smile. He still remembered the incident yesterday, the commotion that occurred between Anya, Raka and Raisa. Still, sales were number one for Ben. He still had to serve his customers very well.

Anya's face looked uncomfortable. Actually, it was not difficult for him to help customers make their own choice of perfume. However, he knew that Raka did not come for the perfume.

"Manager, I…"

Ben immediately cut Anya and patted her shoulder, "Anya, it's better to solve your problem now. Otherwise, Mr. Raka will keep coming to this shop."

Thinking about Ben's words, Anya felt that his suggestion made a lot of sense. If she didn't explain clearly, Raka would probably keep coming back to this shop. Maybe Raisa would also follow him and make a fuss again at this shop. If that happened, Anya would destroy Rose Scent's reputation.

Aiden would also not be happy with Anya and Raka's unclear relationship. As long as their relationship was hanging like this, the man would continue to feel jealous. It was better for her to explain it to Raka and end their relationship as soon as possible.

"Please come here, Mr. Raka!" Anya politely showed the way to Raka. Then, she introduced one by one the ingredients and spices that were in the glass to him.

Raka was not at all interested in the spices or the glasses. He didn't come for perfume. The special perfume was just his excuse because he saw Anya placed in that area. His gaze was not even fixed on the glass. There was only Anya in his eyes.

"I came to see you today. Did Aiden force you to marry him?" Raka asked with emotional eyes.
