Chapter 115 - Restlessness

"Yes, it's possible that he's spoiling you now. But he could also just throw you away. If you don't want to be hurt, better don't get involved with him." Tara's words were like a knife stabbing her heart.

"Tara..."

"Why don't you eat?" Tara had already lifted her spoon and fed it into her mouth.

The food in front of her was truly luxurious, as if it was cooked straight from a five star hotel. Tara couldn't help feeling hungry and immediately devoured the food, "Your food is extraordinary."

Seeing Tara's behavior, Anya could only laugh, "I have to go back to work again at night. Mrs. Hana prepares various kinds of food so that I won't starve."

"It's not just a lot, it's extraordinarily plentiful and luxurious!" Tara said, taking a slice of meat and eating it, "You can come to visit me again tomorrow!"

"Just say you want to eat!" Anya said with a laugh.

"Right! Tell Mrs. Hana to bring more food." Tara didn't feel embarrassed at all.

However, Anya also didn't mind. She really liked Tara's honesty. She just nodded and began to lift her cutlery.

After their dinner, Tara sat on the sofa lazily and told Anya to start learning massage. 

"How should I get started?" Anya frowned.

"I will teach you and point out the points of relaxation, especially for the eyes." Tara made herself an experimental material, while Anya continued to listen intently to Tara's orders.

Thirty minutes later, Anya could feel her hands went numb, "I'm tired."

"Have you memorized all the acupoints for relaxation that I teach you?" Tara asked.

"Yes, I have. But I didn't expect it to be so tiring to massage someone." She was determined to help Aiden in his recovery. But it seemed her strength was still so weak that maybe Aiden would only feel ticklish when Anya massaged him. 

She had to improve her stamina and keep learning!

"Come back tomorrow. Don't forget to bring a good dinner." Tara said, smiling broadly.

Anya laughed hearing Tara's words. It looked like she and Tara could be friends, "Okay. See you tomorrow!"

After leaving Tara's clinic, Anya immediately returned to Rose Scent. Ben immediately greeted her and said that Esther had returned and was in her office.

Anya immediately rushed to the top floor. She couldn't wait to work in the perfume room!

When Esther saw her, the woman immediately smiled and said, "Look at this spice that I have brought. You can start mixing basic ingredients for perfume. If you have other ideas, just do as you like."

"Where can I do it?" Without realizing it, Anya's eyes were fixed on Rose Scent's large perfume room. The room was like heaven to her, equipped with all kinds of sophisticated equipment and various spices and plants.

Esther realized where Anya was looking and said casually, "You can use the perfume room."

"Thank you, Mrs. Esther!" Anya felt really excited.

She spent her overtime inside the perfume room. Her heart felt very calm and peaceful. No distraction, no fuss, no one looking for her anymore. 

Inside the perfume room, amidst all the utensils and perfume ingredients, she felt that it was getting closer to her dream of becoming like her mother… 

It was nine o'clock in the evening. Anya was really reluctant to leave the room. She wanted to stay here a little longer, but the shop was closing soon. She couldn't stay there…

Before leaving the perfume room, Anya cleaned all the utensils she used, then locked the door and left.

She came down and gave the key to Ben before leaving Rose Scent.

On the way home, Anya was so excited that she couldn't help calling Aiden.

"Aiden, I was working at the Rose Scent perfume room. I've tried blending various scent mixes and I've been thinking about what perfume I will make for you.�� Anya said excitedly.

"Hmm ... I'm looking forward to it." Aiden's voice sounded calm. Anya didn't know since when this sound made her heart feel more peaceful.

"Don't you want to ask why Raka met me?" Asked Anya after they were quiet for a moment.

"Hmm ... I'm all ears if you want to tell me." Aiden replied. His voice was still calm but there was a touch of coldness in it.

"Raka already knew where the money for my mother's surgery came from three years ago. But I didn't say what Raisa and her mother did to me." Anya said.

Aiden's face frowned slightly when he heard that, "You don't want Raka to fight with his family just because of you. You are also honest with me just to protect Raka. Everything you do, you do it for him." Aiden said. No more warmth could be heard from the voice. His tone was so low that he almost growled.

Anya felt her heart stop beating for a moment. She immediately explained, "That's not what I meant. I just… "

"Just what?" Aiden cut her impatiently.

Anya felt a little panicked because what Aiden said was true. She did all this because she didn't want anything to happen to Raka. Not because she still loved Raka, but because the man had a special place in her heart. She had known Raka since she was a child and would not just ignore him just because they were no longer in a relationship anymore.

But that's not all. Anya told all this to Aiden because she didn't want Aiden to misunderstand her relationship with Raka. She knew how cruel other people's mouths were.

"I'm honest with you because I don't want any misunderstandings between us. I'm honest because I don't want you to hear it from other people." Said Anya in a low voice.

"Have you cut your relationship with him?" Aiden sneered, "Maybe I was really nice to you, but that doesn't mean you can keep testing me."

Aiden immediately hung up without waiting for Anya's answer. It looked like Raka was a very sensitive topic for Aiden. Aiden was indeed a possessive man, so any news about Raka could ignite his anger very quickly.

Previously, Anya was very happy and in a very good mood. But now she felt as if she had fallen to the bottom of the hole and couldn't get out again.

She just wanted to tell Aiden because she didn't want any misunderstandings. She wanted Aiden to believe her because no matter what happened, she would never leave Aiden. 

That night, Anya couldn't sleep peacefully. Aiden's anger seemed to continue to haunt her, making her unable to sleep comfortably. Nightmare after nightmare kept taking turns accompanying her sleep. Her head ached when she woke up.

She got up and sat on the bed holding her head. She felt a little dizzy and her nose felt a little runny. It seemed she was too tired to feel well.

During breakfast, Nico came to accompany Anya. He felt a little worried seeing Anya who looked lethargic.

"Auntie, did you not sleep enough last night?" Nico asked.

Anya just looked at him and changed the conversation, "Harris told me that the person you choose demands a high salary. I can't afford it. Isn't there anyone else with lower salary demands?"

Nico laughed when he heard it, "A person with a cheap salary produces less quality. That's not good!"

Anya felt her head hurts even more hearing that. Why couldn't everything go her way?
