Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Auntie, didn't Alisa cry last night?" Nadine asked.

"Alisa cried all night, looking for her father. I can't sleep until dawn. I'm still sleepy now," Anya yawned as she said that. "You don't have money to fill gas, but I have a way to make extra money."

"How?" Nadine's eyes lit up brightly and looked at Anya expectantly.

If she could earn money, she wouldn't have to ride a bicycle when she went to work!

"There are many office buildings near the mall. Try to post on your social media, maybe your followers need a lift in the same area. Tell them that if they want to ride with you, they only need to pay gas money," Anya said.

Nadine nodded at this. "That's a good idea. In addition, if I get them from my social media, it means that they're from places nearby and are not dangerous. It will be much better if they're fellow women."

Nadine immediately posted on her social media, looking for people who wanted to ride in her car.

It didn't take long for her instant messaging to explode with many people asking for a lift.

Nadine selected one of the messages from a woman and opened it.

"Hello, my name is Shania. I work at the Atmajaya Group mall and I find it difficult to find a taxi in the morning. Can I ride with you?"

Nadine answered immediately.

Nadine: "I can pick you up at seven in the morning every day. I'm from the Diamond Lake estate, where do you live?"

Shania: "I live behind the registry office near your estate. Do you know the place?"

Nadine turned to Anya and asked Anya because she didn't really know the area around her. "Auntie, do you know the registry office nearby?"

Anya nodded.

Of course she knew the place. In the past, she registered her marriage to Aiden there.

Long before that, when Anya was still selling flowers, she would wait in front of the registry office, waiting for couples who had just registered their marriages and trying to sell them her flowers.

"Tell her to wait in front of the civil registry office. We will pick her up there," Anya said.

Nadine: "Wait for me at the registry office. I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm in a white BMW with the back plate number 89."

Shania: "OK."

On the way, Anya took out her cellphone and searched for the online taxi fares from the civil registry office to the Atmajaya Group mall.

"Nadine, tell her that she has to pay 50,000 each time she rides us later. The price is much cheaper than using an online taxi."

Nadine nodded.

Who would have thought that when Shania found out that the price was so cheap, she invited another friend living near her house. Of course Anya and Nadine wouldn't refuse additional money. They even gave Shania and her friends another discount.

"Hello, are you also hitching a ride?" Shania asked Anya.

Anya was confused about what to answer.

She didn't own this car, but she rode for free.

"I..."

"We're family!" Nadine replied, saving Anya.

The two women nodded, happy to make new friends. "We are both from the jewelry shop on the 1st floor of the Atmajaya Group mall. My name is Shania and next to me is my shop manager, Meli. If you want to buy jewelry in our shop, you can get a discount," Shania introduced herself very kindly.

"We can't afford jewelry," Anya answered.

Shania looked around in confusion. "How could you not afford it if your car was this good?"

"This car is only a loan. We can't even fill it with gas. How about we sign the contract this afternoon?" Anya wanted to get money for Nadine as soon as possible.

"Of course. You guys work at Iris, right? I'll be there this afternoon," Shania replied.

"Good. We will prepare the contract later in the afternoon," Anya said.

After arriving at the mall, Shania and Meli got off first, while Anya waited for Nadine to park her car so they could get to Iris together.

"I will go straight upstairs. For the contract, ask Harris for help to make it," Anya said.

Nadine chuckled at Anya's words. She already knows that Anya had been trapped by Harris's contract twice. "I also intend to ask for his help!"

Anya told Nadine to ask Harris for help knowing that the man was the best person in this field. And one thing for sure— Harris wouldn't let Nadine suffer a loss.

At 12 noon, Hana sent lunch to Iris for Anya. Various foods had been neatly arranged on the table. To her amazement, why was there so much food? How could she spend it all alone?

"Nadine, are you going to have lunch with me?" Anya came out of her office and called Nadine downstairs.

However, it was not the answer from Nadine that Anya got, but Aiden. "I haven't eaten yet," His voice came from below.

"You... Why are you here?" Anya's face turned pale seeing him.

"If you don't want to come to my office and have lunch with me, then I'll come to Iris to have lunch with you?" Aiden continued walking towards the second floor, ignoring the gazes of everyone around him.

Anya thought she had said clearly that she didn't want to have lunch with Aiden and wouldn't come back to Atmajaya Group again.

But she didn't expect Aiden would come to her just to have lunch with her.

In truth, before heading to Iris, Aiden also had doubts. Never in his life had he done anything like this for a woman.

Nico even tried to persuade him all day.

"Uncle, you didn't put much effort into chasing her. We will see. Tonight, auntie invites me to dinner at her house, but you are not invited."

Aiden frowned at Nico's words.

"Harris was also invited, but uncle was left just like that. Do you know what that means? That means auntie doesn't want to see you. But you're still proud to approach her!"

"I don't want to do anything that can tarnish my pride," Aiden replied stiffly.

"What is the meaning of pride if you can't get her back? You must have a thick skin and chase after auntie shamelessly. Over time, auntie's heart will also melt."

"You are so shameless. You can't even get Tara back, how come you advise me!"

"Uncle, you're so mean!" Nico said, pursing his lips. After that, he raised his hand in surrender. "Alright. It's up to you. If you don't want to try, you will be alone in the end and my auntie will find another man!"

Before leaving Aiden's office, Nico didn't forget to add oil to Aiden's already burning heart.

As soon as Nico left, Aiden thought hard and considered his nephew's words. That's why he finally came to Iris for lunch with Anya, chasing after her who didn't want to meet him.

"Oh my God, what did I just see?"

"Aiden came to invite Anya to lunch!"

"Are they back together?"

"Of course! How could a man like Aiden want to come for lunch at this small place if it weren't for Anya?"

Keara was having lunch in her office when her cell phone rang. When she opened it, she saw a message from Mila.

Mila: "Mr. Aiden came to Iris today for lunch with Anya."

Although Iris and Keara's Perfume were facing each other, the order of their place was completely different. Iris had two floors so Anya's office was on the top floor, while Keara's Perfume was only one floor and Keara's office was inside.

After getting the message, Keara immediately got up from her chair and came out of her office.

Without thinking, she immediately exited Keara's Perfume towards Iris, staring at the stairs leading to the second floor.

Mila greeted her with a smile. "Miss, what can I help you with?"

"I've come to see Aiden!" Keara said as she went straight inside. When she was about to go upstairs, Nadine immediately stopped her. "Sister Keara, my uncle is having lunch. He will be annoyed when someone bothers him. How about you just leave a message through me?"
