Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 169
Advertisement
"Today, I would like to introduce the head parfumeur of Rose Scent, the daughter of Diana Hutama, Anya Tedjasukmana. You can listen to her explanation regarding the two perfumes that were recently launched."
While saying that, Aiden kept holding Anya's hand to give her strength. Anya could feel the warmth of Aiden's hand, giving her the courage to prove her innocence.
She raised her head and looked at the reporters in front of her with a stern gaze. There was no fear and doubt in her eyes.
"My mother has worked in this field for nearly ten years." Anya began to explain confidently, "Plants are her life. She works to grow plants so that she can get their pure scent. My life is very much influenced by my mother and I really love my mother's world. I want to make a perfume with a refreshing natural scent."
"Just a moment ago, a recipe was lost and stolen from Rose Scent. You are the prime suspect. Is this perfume really made by you?"
"This perfume has been my experiment for many years. Before I decided to launch a product, I got advice from Mrs. Esther. With Mrs. Esther's help as well, I was finally able to launch Neutral Fresh 'Blue Night' and Ladies Charm 'Fragrant Day'. I am very grateful to Mrs. Esther for supporting and helping me." Anya said while looking at Esther sincerely.
"Mrs. Esther, what did you tell her?" Asked the reporter.
"Perfume made by Anya, as she said, is very refreshing and pure."
"I learned that the main intention was to make a perfume that smelled fresh so that there was only a hint of floral scent in it. She said she made the perfume for someone close to her and that person doesn't like the scent of flowers. That's why I suggested to her to make two types of perfume, one for men and one for women."
"From my advice, two new Rose Scent perfumes were finally born. The ingredients are very safe and the aroma is pleasant too. I even bought a bottle of perfume for myself." With a smile, Esther showed the reporter a photo of her dressing table at home. There was a bottle of Anya's Ladies Charm perfume 'Fragrant Day' there.

"Mrs. Esther, you seem to trust Anya a lot." Said the reporter with a smile.
"Yes, I believe that Anya will make a perfume known to the whole world someday. The people who were able to get her perfume yesterday were very lucky. One day, her perfume's price will skyrocket and nobody can buy her perfume at the same price as yesterday." Esther said.
Some of the people queuing at the return area began to hesitate. The perfume they bought turned out to have no problem and they were wondering if they should cancel their decision. What's more, after returning it, they shouldn't buy the same perfume.
In addition, the perfume that had been returned would return to its normal price, not a discounted price like at the mall's event yesterday.
But even at a normal price, people would buy them in droves. This perfume creator had earned recognition from experts in her field, Esther, the owner of Rose Scent!
They felt uncertain and some began to overturn their decision. Some people who didn't get Anya's perfume yesterday started asking when there would be new products.
"You can continue to monitor Rose Scent's official website. The new product launch will be announced there." Esther said.
After that, the interview moved on to discussing Rose Scent, its development and sales results during yesterday's event. They also discussed the golden egg event conducted by Rose Scent. Aiden told Esther and Mila to handle it. He brought Anya back to the employee room to treat the wound on her forehead.
Aiden put the plastic filled with ice on Anya's head gently, "Go home after this, no need to work anymore."
"I am alright. I just panicked earlier. But after seeing you, I felt relieved. The wound doesn't hurt either." Anya said with a smile.
"It is necessary to be patient, but there is no point in arguing with nonsensical people like them. They're just trying to knock you out, whatever the reason. But at least, you have to be able to protect yourself. Don't get hurt like this." Aiden saw the wound on Anya's forehead.

"Hmm... That's why I called you and asked for your help because I couldn't face them anymore." Anya said.
Aiden lowered his head and kissed the top of Anya's head, "You're smart, you know when to call your husband."
"I know you must have a solution." Anya looked up and stared at Aiden's handsome face, "Is there really a perfume that can cause allergies?"
"All perfumes contain alcohol. After today's incident, remind all employees to alert customers and ask if they have any allergies to an ingredient. In addition, you can recommend perfume to people who are allergic to alcohol by making a special perfume that is alcohol-free." Aiden answered.
Anya nodded, "When I heard that the person who used my perfume was hospitalized, I was very scared. Luckily, the cause isn't my perfume."
"I used this opportunity to promote your name. We better take this opportunity to change Rose Scent's name." Aiden's suggestion.
"Do you really want to change the name? Can you not use my name in person? It's too flashy." Anya said.
"Your job is to make new products and my job is to make this shop even more famous." Aiden replied.
"Before I start my college, I will train some people who can handle the perfume making area so that someone can replace me." Anya said.
Aiden lifted the ice plastic in his hand and looked at Anya's forehead. His wife's forehead was swollen and red.
"You gave me perfume as a gift and I gave a Rose Scent to you in return. Do you like it?"
"Of course, thank you husband!" Anya thought that after meeting Aiden, her life had become brighter.
Not only did she get a perfume shop, but also able to launch her own product. Plus, she had Esther willing to be her teacher.
"How do you thank me?" Aiden asked, looking at her.
Anya held Aiden's face and kissed him on the lips.
"Not enough." Aiden held the back of Anya's head and pulled her head to deepen their kiss.
Anya dissolved in the kiss. While in Aiden's arms, her head didn't hurt anymore. She felt even better.
Aiden kissed her deeper. He really wanted to have Anya completely.
"Anya, I think..."
"Whose fault did you push me from the car and injure me? The wound on my knee hasn't healed yet. You can't think about naughty things!" Anya immediately refused even though Aiden had not finished his words.
"Is this a punishment for me?" Aiden asked, frowning.
"Yes. Do you accept it?" Anya put her hand around Aiden's neck.
"I accept it. No matter how angry I am with you, I shouldn't hurt my wife. I deserve it." Aiden admitted his mistake.
"Great! I am fine. Go back to work." Anya said as she patted Aiden's shoulder.
"Are you kicking me out?" Asked Aiden irritably.
"Why? Do you still want to drink tea here?" Anya replied with a laugh.
"Your head is injured. As your boss, I will allow you to go home today. Come on!" Aiden took Anya's hand out of the employee break room.
Harris hurried over to them and they left the Rose Scent from the side door.
"Madame, is your head all right? Are you going to the hospital?" Harris asked worriedly.
"I am fine. You guys go back to the office. I'm going home." Anya said.
"Return to the office? Don't you want to take the money from selling your flowers at the office?" Aiden asked.

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead
The cycle is simple enough. A Dungeon Core is born from a wayward soul. It seeks power and agency, and works to accumulate wealth to fuel its power, in turn using this power to accumulate further wealth. Inevitably, the mind is lost as desperation and ambition drive it to commit darker and darker acts. Shortly thereafter, the adventurers arrive to quell the core. This is a tale that has repeated itself countless times throughout history: all cores desire power. And yet, this core seems to have it backwards. It doesn't want to rule the world. It has no desire to enslave or conquer. No, this core doesn't want to be a warlord, a villain, or a tyrant. It wants to start a core-poration. After all, when money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core that wastes an absurd amount of time and effort trying not to be evil on his journey to earn fat stacks against all odds. -This is a 'Dungeon Core' type fiction with LitRPG elements in it. The start may be fairly slow compared to the average. Expect roughly 2.5k per chapter. -I'm only a hobbyist writer. As such, there may be the occasional error and pacing may be poorly-handled. Constructive criticism is alway welcome. I'm just here to write stuff that makes my brain release the g o o d c h e m i c a l s. -I am trashy and I like monsterpeople so you can expect an awful lot of those as we get further in. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy.

Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french.

I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here!

After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg.
