Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 155
Advertisement
"Anya, you are selling flowers in my office. You used my assistant and my nephew to work for you. Do you know that you have made me lose?" A voice that Anya had not heard for a long time was heard from across the phone.
When she heard the sound, Anya almost threw away her cellphone. She knew that she was wrong to use her relationship with Nico to sell her flowers. But the flowers that were picked were too many. She couldn't let the flower go unsold and wither!
"Don't play dead. Talk to me!" Aiden said in a sharp voice.
Anya was immediately irritated. Wasn't this all because of Aiden? If only Aiden hadn't plucked all the flowers, she wouldn't need to panic!
"How can you be this selfish? You only think of your own losses. What about my loss? There are so many flowers and you tell your servants to pick them all. If I don't sell it right now, will you keep it to yourself?"
"You can sell it elsewhere. But if you sell it in my company, I ask for a portion of the proceeds." Aiden said.
Nico's chin almost fell off his head. Did he hear wrong?
Meanwhile, Anya was biting her lip as she silently chanted a mantra, trying to stay calm. It was true that people say, the richer a person was, the higher the level of intellect.
Aiden was indeed a businessman. He even asked for money from his own wife.
Anya had no other choice as she really had to sell the flowers. She tried to suppress her anger and said, "How much do you want?"
"Twenty-five percent of every flower bouquet sold." Aiden said casually.
Nico looked at Aiden sarcastically. His eyes seemed to show that Aiden was utterly cruel, even to his wife.
Aiden returned the gaze as if he didn't care about Nico's judgment. What could Nico do?
Nico just saw him in silence. What could he do? After all, Aiden wasn't bullying Nico's lover. He didn't have to bother defending someone who didn't belong to him.
Anya calculated how much money she should give Aiden and shook her head, "I didn't get much profit but you wanted to rob me. Can we discuss it carefully?" Anya said, gritting her teeth.

"Call me husband with a sweet and seductive voice. If I am satisfied, I will close my eyes to everything you are doing today. I'm not going to ask for a part of you." When Aiden said it, Nico immediately looked at Aiden while showing two thumbs up.
Nico taught Aiden not to get too serious. He must be able to tease and seduce Anya so that their relationship would not bland.
When Anya heard Aiden's words, her face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She glanced at Hana silently and whispered, "We're still not making up. I can not do it."
"Then pay!" There was no doubt in Aiden's voice and no leniency at all in his request.
"I ..." Anya hesitated for a moment and finally complied with Aiden's request, "Husband ..." Her tone sounded stiff and cold.
"You're not saying it sincerely." Aiden was displeased when he heard that.
Anya could only take a deep breath and try to suppress her irritation. All of this for money! For the flowers! "Husband ..."
"I'll give you one last chance." As he said that, the corners of Aiden's lips formed a faint smile. He looked very happy to tease Anya, especially after days when he couldn't talk to his own wife.
Anya took a deep breath and managed her feelings. She recalled the time with Aiden in the Ferris wheel watching the fireworks and channeling those feelings to him.
"Husband, are you coming home early tonight?" Anya's voice was soft and hopeful.
She and Aiden had been separated for days because of their argument. Would their relationship change today? Aiden was about to talk to her ...
Aiden's heart melted when he heard that voice, "Do you want me to go home?"
"The perfume I gave you before was just a sample. The perfume has been wrapped in a special bottle now. I want to give my perfume to you today." Anya quietly said.
"I'll be back at one in the afternoon." Aiden finally melted away.
Anya found out that Aiden was innocent yesterday. Aiden went to take care of work at night and Hana mistook that Aiden was going to pick up Anya. Therefore, Anya took the initiative to wait for him at the bus stop.

She couldn't blame Aiden because Aiden didn't know anything. All of this was just a matter of misunderstanding. Even so, there was still a hint of resentment in her heart.
But when Aiden said that he was coming home today, Anya felt happy.
"Hmm… I'll be waiting for you. Thank you for helping me to get my electric bike. Thank you for telling your servant to help me pick flowers." Anya expressed her gratitude.
"Would you be more grateful if I didn't take advantage of you?" Aiden said jokingly.
"Hmm..." Anya nodded seriously.
"Alright. Now that you are happy, I will not take advantage of you. Harris will arrange a vehicle to carry all of your selling interest and once everything is sold out. Harris will also arrange all the money you get too." Aiden said calmly.
Anya immediately felt very relieved, "Thank you, Aiden."
"Hmm ... I have a meeting now." Aiden hung up the phone and returned the cell phone to Nico.
While Aiden was talking to Anya, Nico was nearby to overhear.
It seemed that his uncle had fallen in love with a flower girl named Anya.
"What are you waiting for? How about the meeting?" Aiden scolded him.
Nico pursed his lips. He was annoyed when he saw Aiden being very nice to Anya, but kept scolding him. Didn't Aiden know it was all thanks to him?
Even so, Nico followed Aiden and walked into the conference room.
…
Anya was very busy. But with the help of Aiden's maid, all the flowers were neatly wrapped. She was confused because there were so many orders, so she made several heart-shaped cards and wrote the price code on the bouquet.
The prices shown on all of these bouquets were very cheap for the size of a beautiful flower bouquet like Anya's.
Abdi brought Aiden's big car to transport the flower bouquet to the office.
Anya looked at the clock on the wall. She had been asking Esther for two hours and she had to get back to work.
"Mrs. Hana, I have to go back to work. You can put the rest of the flowers in a vase to decorate the house." Anya shouted in a hurry.
"Fine." Hana nodded.
Anya hurried upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. Then, she came back down.
"Mrs. Hana, this is for you. Thank you for helping me today." Anya said.
"Anya, I can't accept money from you. Save it." Hana said while refusing Anya's gift.
Anya didn't have the energy to say anything. She'd been busy since morning because of Aiden. She initially wanted to sell some of the highest quality flowers to florists and some flowers to make essential oils. But suddenly, Aiden told his servants to pluck all of the flowers.
She had to wait for the next flower season in December and in the meantime she didn't have to be busy with flowers.
"Mrs. Hana, I'm very tired. Please don't refuse my gift. If not, I will be ashamed to ask your help next time." Said Anya with a smile.
"I will accept it. Thank you Anya!" Hana accepted the money and said, "Last night was my fault. I should have asked Aiden more clearly so as not to let you wait in vain."
Anya shook her head, "It's not your fault. I know you only care about me and want me to make peace with Aiden."
Hana nodded, "Anya, I really care about you. When Aiden comes back today, you should speak well. There is no problem that cannot be resolved."
"Yes." Anya said, nodding, "Mrs. Hana, Rose Scent will be very busy today. If you can ask Harris for Aiden's return time, please let me know. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"I'll ask for you." Hana was very happy. Anya still wanted to believe her even though she made a mistake yesterday.
Anya was busy since morning and didn't have the energy to go to Rose Scent by bus so in the end she hailed a taxi.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Anya returned to Rose Scent and realized that there were no customers at all in the shop.
Today was the day when the mall held events so the flow of visitors was extraordinary. But why were there barely customers at Rose Scent?

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
