Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 9:Women's Jealousy

Only Anya and Aiden were in the elevator. It was because they were using Aiden's private elevator. The elevator cannot be used by just anyone. Only a few people had access to the elevator such as Harris, Aiden's office assistant, and Abdi.

The atmosphere in the elevator was very awkward. Or rather, only Anya felt that way. Every now and then she would steal glances at Aiden, hoping he would break the silence between them.

Unfortunately, Aiden didn't say anything. He looked straight ahead while waiting for the elevator to arrive on his floor. Behind his sunglasses, he could see Anya who was constantly moving because she was restless. His lips curved slightly, forming a faint smile when he saw the movements of the woman beside him.

Today, Anya's black hair, which usually worn loose, was tied into a single ponytail, making her look younger. Sometimes, her hands combed the loose strands of her hair, a sign that she was nervous. Her modest dress could not hide her graceful and delicate features. Her feet still looked long and slender even though they were only wrapped in sneakers. She didn't need to wear high heels to look charming like other women. Her face was innocent without excessive makeup, but it made her aura radiate even more.

The elevator chimed, knocking Aiden out of his reverie. He immediately walked out of the elevator, greeted by his assistant. The assistant looked very beautiful with her brown hair flowing. She wore a white blouse and a neat black skirt. Red high heels adorned her feet, making her look even sexier. However, in Aiden's eyes, his assistant was nothing. Only Anya filled Aiden's mind at the moment.

Anya was flabbergasted when she saw Aiden's assistant. 'Does being an assistant require a pretty appearance like this? This woman should be a model, not an assistant!'

Seeing the beauty of Aiden's assistant, Anya slightly lowered her head, feeling worried about her current appearance.

The woman frowned when she saw Anya's arrival. She stared at Anya from toe to head, feeling strange with the presence of a woman looking like this in her boss's office. Plus, this woman came specially picked up by Aiden. Although her dislike for Anya was clear, she remained polite and professional.

"Yes Sir." She answered politely, but disappointment could be heard in her voice. Then, she looked away, staring at Anya with a sharp gaze. Anya flinched a little when she saw that gaze, then she jogged to chase after Aiden. Elise's gaze scared her. That gaze was like that of a woman who got jealous when her lover was with another woman.

Anya was stunned when she saw Aiden's office. The room was so spacious. The black desk stood proudly, while various documents were scattered on it. On the other side of the room was a large sofa that could even be used as a bed. Even when Anya was still living with her rich father, she never owned a sofa this big. Near the sofa, there was a door that was wide open, leading to the bedroom. Anya was surprised when she saw the room. What was a bedroom in the office for?

Unfortunately, the extraordinarily luxurious room did not get direct sunlight because the large window was covered with a curtain. Anya could imagine how beautiful the room would be if sunlight shone on it. She could also imagine how beautiful the view displayed from the large window, the view of the bustling city streets under the bluish sky.

Aiden sat on the sofa, watching as Anya watched the contents of the room with a look of amazement and her gaping mouth forming an "o". He smiled at the woman's behavior. This woman was very attractive to watch, he would never get tired of seeing her.

He cleared his throat softly, jolted Anya from her amazement and walked to the sofa in front of Aiden. After Anya sat down, Aiden didn't say anything. The current situation made Anya feel awkward again. She combed her hair behind her ear, not knowing what to do.

"I ... I heard, you were looking for me?" asked Anya, breaking the silence between them.

"Hmm ..." Aiden only answered briefly, not intending to reveal that his intention was to find Anya.

Seeing Aiden not responding to him, Anya felt confused, 'Why is this man so mysterious? What is the real purpose of looking for me? Why doesn't he say anything now after meeting me?'

"Why are you looking for me?" Anya dared herself to ask Aiden, even though she actually felt intimidated by the presence of this man in front of her.

"Aren't you refusing to see me?" Aiden asked bluntly.

Anya felt nervous when she heard the question. She had indeed refused Abdi's pick up and did not want to meet Aiden beforehand. But right now, she really needed help from him. She must immediately find an excuse.

"I don't want to get into a stranger's vehicle. I'm planning to see you after visiting my mother at the hospital." That was the only reason she could think of at this moment.

Aiden's eyebrows raised when he heard Anya's answer. He knew that the woman in front of him was lying. He didn't know what changed Anya's mind that she finally decided to meet him. But he had no problem with Anya's lies. At least, now that woman was in front of him.

Under Aiden's gaze, Anya felt even more restless.

'Has my lie been exposed? What else should I say?'

As if she was saved, Aiden's office door suddenly opened. Elise brought two cups of tea and served them in front of Aiden and Anya.

Anya thanked Elise, but the woman completely ignored her and instead turned to face Aiden as if waiting for the man's response.

Aiden didn't look at her at all. He was ungrateful and didn't even touch the tea that Elise brought.

Aiden knew Elise had deliberately entered his office, not just to deliver the tea. But he was also curious about what he and Anya were doing. If only, that woman was not smart and nimble in doing her job, Aiden would have fired her.

Elise had worked in his office for quite a while and understood his company well. Her experience made her rarely make mistakes. Unfortunately, Aiden realized that Elise had a crush on him and her attitude grew increasingly aggressive. In the past, she probably would only look at him from a distance, but now she dared to enter his office without permission by reason of delivering tea. Maybe he should fire this assistant? Harris alone was enough for him ...

After putting down the teacup, Elise did not immediately come out of the room. She stood beside Aiden as if waiting for further orders from her boss.

This made Aiden feel even more annoyed. He waved his hand, telling Elise to immediately get out of the room. Seeing the orders from her boss, Elise couldn't help but leave languidly.

Meanwhile, Anya watched Elise leave with a worried look. She felt unwilling to see Elise walk out of this room. She didn't want to be left alone with Aiden. What else should she say to Aiden?

The sound of the door closing was heard, Anya still couldn't take her attention away from the door, all the while looking restless and nervous. Her brain was spinning rapidly, looking for a way out of this situation.

What should she do? Should she be candid and ask Aiden for help right away?
