Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 237 - Another Woman In Aiden's Office

"Is this really Miss Anya? It's time for you to pay your mother's hospital fees," said the person as soon as Anya picked up the phone.

Apparently, the money she borrowed from Aiden to pay for her mother's hospital fees had run out and now she had to pay fees again.

She couldn't even repay that debt to Aiden!

"How much will it cost?" Anya asked worriedly.

"You can pay the first deposit of twenty million and pay it again when the bill comes out later."

Twenty million? Anya felt like crying. The money in her savings was running low and she also had to replace money to pay what she owed to Aiden.

Now, she couldn't ask Aiden for help anymore because her husband was angry.

In the end, she was forced to use all the money in her savings and she was poor again.

Anya could only hope Aiden didn't cancel the order because she really needed the money. Would Aiden cancel his order just because she wished Raka a happy birthday?

She only did it out of formality. Anya did not think that what she thought as trivial would make Aiden angry.

Anya could only go to Iris feeling sad.

…

As soon as she arrived at Iris, Anya immediately went up to the second floor and looked for Esther to give her a perfume sample.

When she saw Anya coming to work, Esther was shocked. "Didn't I agree that you can work at home?" she asked.

Anya just smiled and took out a perfume sample from her bag. "I made two perfume samples and would like to ask your opinion."

"Did you order it or did you make it yourself?" Esther was immediately excited when she saw the perfume brought by Anya.

"This is my mother's long lost perfume recipe. I bring two bottles, green and pink. One of them is my mother's original recipe and the other I have adjusted according to my idea," said Anya.

"Your mother's missing recipe? No wonder Imel will suddenly release perfume." She knew that Imel would be able to get access to the perfume recipe too, so Amore suddenly released a new perfume after a long time.

It turned out to be Diana's perfume recipe.

Esther took the green bottle and tried to smell it. She was very curious about the aroma that would emerge from the bottle.

Due to her accident, Esther couldn't remember the smells. She could only test the scent and record it directly to assess the scent right away.

"How is it?" Anya looked hopefully at Esther.

"I don't think this bottle is your mother's recipe," Esther frowned slightly. "Or is my illness getting worse?"

"What's with the smell?" asked Anya.

"There was no fragrance of iris in this perfume. All of Diana's perfumes always smelled of iris. But this time I didn't smell it at all."

Then, Esther opened a jar filled with coffee beans to neutralize her sense of smell.

"Inside that green bottle is a perfume formula that I adjusted according to my ideas. I changed the lemonade scent at the start to bergamot and turned the iris into orange blossom. I want to create a sweet scent from sour taste. And most importantly, the perfume does not contain alcohol," said Anya.

"That's a great idea. Is the original recipe in a pink bottle?" Esther's eyes were on the other bottle.

After ten years, she finally could see the new product created by Diana Hutama. How could she not be excited?

"Hmm… This is a perfume that Imel will launch. It has my mother's perfume formula," Anya said with a serious look.

Esther took another deep breath of the coffee bean aroma and after that she started to smell the perfume inside the pink bottle.

Anya waited very patiently, not daring to bother Esther one bit.

Esther also assessed the perfume with great care. After testing it, she immediately noted a few things.

"Anya, I suggest you introduce a perfume without alcohol on the same day as Imel's perfume launch. I'm sure we'll win," Esther suggested to her confidently.

Anya was stunned for a moment and said, "Mrs. Esther, I don't understand what you mean."

"Your mother's perfume formula is very similar to the Dior brand perfume. What is the use of a similar perfume? Perfume is just perfume. The more unique and different, the more interested people will be in buying it. If both perfumes have a floral scent, wouldn't it be better to buy a more well-known brand?" Esther said. She expressed her opinion as a buyer.

"What do you mean that a floral fragrance like this can't compete with the leading brands? Does that mean the sales won't be good?" Anya's face looked disappointed.

"The perfume industry is getting more advanced these days. The number of perfume lovers are constantly growing. And they all pursue ecological values lately. They want something new, including alcohol-free perfume because of the rampant alcohol allergies. So, I suggest that you launch a non-alcoholic perfume," Esther said.

"I don't want to be seen as plagiarizing because I created this perfume based on my mother's recipe," Anya said shyly.

Esther patted Anya's shoulder and said, "This isn't plagiarism. You're just using your mother's recipe as a reference."

"Then I'll go home and perfect it again. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of online orders…" Anya replied.

"If you decide to follow my advice to launch a non-alcoholic perfume at the same time as Imel's perfume launch, then you have to perfect it immediately. Let me take care of orders at the store," Esther said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Esther. I'm going home first. I have things to take care of." Anya planned to go to a food processing plant with Harris to discuss processing costs so she could complete Aiden's order as quickly as possible. She couldn't let Aiden cancel it.

After leaving Iris, Anya immediately took the bus to Aiden's office. Half an hour later, she arrived in front of the Atmajaya Group.

Today was Sunday so the office was quiet. There was only one person manning the reception desk.

Anya called Aiden but her husband didn't answer.

She called Harris, but Harris also did not want to answer the phone.

Anya felt a little frustrated. Aiden must have been so angry that he wouldn't pick up the phone. Harris also didn't pick up the phone because Aiden must have ordered him.

After waiting a few minutes, Anya tried to replace another way, which was by calling Nico.

"Auntie, I'm going to sleep. If you need help, replace me again after I wake up," Nico said irritably.

"Your uncle doesn't want to pick up my phone. Harris too. Please call Harris for me and tell him I'm waiting on the first floor of his office," Anya said.

"What can I do if you guys are fighting?" Nico said helplessly. He didn't want to get involved in his uncle and aunt's problems anymore.

"I came to make up with him, but your uncle avoided me. Then what should I do?" Anya asked.

"Don't worry, Aunt. I'll try to call Harris," Nico immediately hung up and called Harris.

Harris's cell phone rang. He looked at his cellphone screen and said to Aiden. "Sir. Mr Nico called. Should I answer it?"

"Anya is getting smarter," Aiden sneered. "Tell Nico that I brought a woman into my office half an hour ago and you didn't dare bother me."

Harris was surprised to hear that. "Sir, what if there's misunderstandings?"
