Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 243 - Theft

When she returned to Aiden's study, she heard Aiden's voice...

Anya couldn't hear who Aiden was talking to or what the person on the other side of the phone was saying. But when she heard Aiden's words, she knew what had happened.

The timing of Imel's new product launch was too close to the discovery of her mother's perfume formula, making Anya feel very suspicious.

Now, everything was clear ...

Anya pushed open the door to Aiden's study and placed the teacup on the table. She calmly sat on the sofa and stared at Aiden.

Aiden immediately ended the call and looked at Anya without hiding anything.

"Deny actually sold your mother's perfume recipe to Imel. She has modified its formula and passed the test stage. The perfume will be released on schedule," Aiden said with a serious face. "What is your plan now?"

"I will launch a new product at the same time. I made some changes from the original perfume recipe and will introduce it as a non-alcoholic perfume," Anya replied calmly. She decided to take Esther's advice.

Esther had experience in this area and knew how to fight Imel.

Aiden nodded. "You can plan it with Esther. I will not interfere in Iris's affairs, but I will help you get approval and also publish it."

"When Imel's new perfume is launched, we will immediately buy several bottles and ship them in the test laboratory. Once we replace DEHP in the perfume, we will report her," Anya said. "Not only that. I will also say that Imel has stolen my mother's perfume recipe."

"Hmm... Take care of the evidence, especially your mother's original perfume recipe." Aiden said.

"I hid the original recipe in my house. I also took some of its pictures with my cell phone just in case," Anya answered.

"You kept the recipe in your old house?" Aiden's face immediately looked grim. Anya's house was in an unsafe area. How could Anya leave such valuables in such an unsafe place?

He immediately called Harris and asked him to come into his office.

"What's the problem?" Anya asked Aiden.

"Harris will accompany you to take that formula. After taking it, save the formula in the safe in my office. The password is your birthday," Aiden said.

"I've tried it before. The password is not my birthday," as soon as she said it, Anya immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

She blurted out!

"Are you trying to open my safe?" Aiden looked at his wife and raised an eyebrow.

Anya could only grin, not knowing what to say.

Last time, she tried to open Aiden's safe in search of her garden's guarantee agreement letter. She had no money so she intended to steal the letter from Aiden. She had also tried several passwords, but none of them were correct.

"The password is your birthday. I don't have to hide anything from you," Aiden said calmly.

"Aren't you afraid I'll take all your valuables?" Anya asked on purpose.

"It's all mine. And all what's mine is yours. Even if you empty my safe at once, I am the most valuable to you," Aiden looked at Anya with a smile.

Anya walked up to him with a sparkling face. She slightly jumped to sit on Aiden's desk.

Her hand reached out to grab Aiden's face. Her head bent slightly to kiss his lips.

"Sir, I'm sorry. I didn't see anything," Harris just pushed Aiden's office door and saw Aiden and Anya kissing. He immediately stepped back and looked away.

Anya's face blushed. She immediately got down from Aiden's desk. "Finish your work. I will be right back."

Suddenly, Aiden grabbed Anya's waist, wrapped her and pulled her into his arms.

He held Anya's face and chewed her lips longer. The kiss was very warm. He did not let Anya go until he was satisfied. Then, he casually said, "Now you can go."

"I'll just be away for a moment. Is it necessary to kiss that long?" Anya muttered irritably.

"I like it," Aiden replied curtly.

Anya chuckled. "Aiden, have you never kissed another person before?"

"You are my first kiss. Be happy with your luck," Aiden grumbled.

"Hmm... I'll appreciate it and continue the kiss when I come back," Anya winked at Aiden and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, she stopped in the middle of her way. "Don't miss me too much."

"I'll count to three. If you don't leave right away, you will never be able to leave this place." Aiden's eyes darkened.

How could Anya not understand that view? Aiden was in high spirits and wanted to make love to her again just because Anya teased him a little!

Before Aiden started counting, Anya immediately rushed out of his office.

...

Harris escorted Anya to her old house to pick up the recipe. She saw that her house was in a mess.

After making up with Aiden, Anya had taken back the spare key to her house from the flower shop's owner so that it was not her who did it.

"Madame, would you like to call the police?" Harris saw the chaotic state of the house and his first thought was that someone stole Anya's stuff.

"No need," Anya hurried into one of the rooms and opened a hiding place above the head of her bed. All the items she had hidden were still there.

Anya breathed a sigh of relief.

The bed in Anya's room was made of very old wood. There was a gap that could be used to hide things at the top of the bed's frame.

Since the bed looked so shabby and old, no one would know that many valuables were hidden there.

Anya took out all of her valuable things and put them in her bag.

"Madame, haven't you lost anything? Don't you want to go to the police?" Harris asked.

"My family is poor and has no treasures. I hid it all in this place. Let's go," Anya calmly said.

This isn't the first time thieves had broken into her house. Her house was indeed located in an unsafe area so no wonder if a crime occurred at some point.

Harris was touched to see Anya's struggle. She was still so young. But how much suffering had she gone through that she was this calm when her house had just been targeted for theft like this?

On the way home, Harris asked, "Madame, has your house been broken into by a thief before?"

"More than once. There's no point in calling the police. There are no CCTVs on the highway around where I live so the thief won't be found. Besides, I don't have much money so I won't leave my money at home," Anya replied with a smile.

Harris didn't know what to say. Once in front of the house, he suddenly said, "Madame is a good person. God will not let good people continue to be hurt."

Anya was stunned for a moment. During this time, Harris did not talk to her much so she was surprised when she heard Harris's words.

"Thank you. I hope I don't bother you," Anya replied.

"You're welcome, madam. It's already my job," Harris got out of the car and opened the door for Anya.

Hana saw Anya's arrival and immediately greeted her. "Anya, you're home!"

"I came to store some things. I'll go out with Aiden this afternoon. No need to cook!" Anya winked at Hana.

Hana laughed when she heard that. "Indeed, Aiden replaces his happiness in you!"

"Only I can make him happy!" Anya muttered in a low voice. She said it with a smile. "I'll go up first, Ma'am!"

Anya had just walked two steps when she heard Deny's voice coming from behind.

"Anya, please help father!" he shouted.
