Chapter 10: Shocking conditions

The room fell silent again, just the two of them and two cups of tea on the table.

Aiden casually leaned back on the couch and stared at the terrified Anya in front of him, the woman trembling like a little rabbit, Aiden like a tiger that pounced on her.

She sat up straight, afraid that if she didn't relax a little longer, she would be swallowed up by tension.

Anya brushed the messy hair on her cheeks, and her hand accidentally touched Mona's slap scar, sending a pain that made her teeth grin.

Aiden watched Anya's every move, he saw Anya's expression when he touched his cheek became strange, thinking that Anya might have an accident, his body suddenly stiffened, and he immediately got up from his seat, leaned forward, supported Anya's chin, and looked at her face carefully.

He held Anya's chin a little hard, because the action was too sudden, which made Anya a little uncomfortable.

Aiden could vaguely see Anya's foundation-covered scars, which were so well concealed that he almost didn't come out.

At such times, Aiden was very annoyed by his eyesight, his eyes were not as perfect as before, and he missed a lot of things. With his previous vision, no little thing could escape his sight, especially Anya's matter. Now, he didn't notice that Anya covered the scars on her face with foundation.

While Aiden held his chin, Anya didn't know what to do. When she saw Aiden's face in front of her, she was stunned, and she could see the handsome face clearly. The man's face was really close to her, barely an inch away.

Anya's face suddenly turned red, until her ears were hot with embarrassment, she was not used to being so close to men.

Aiden ignored Anya's flushed face and continued to observe the scars on her cheeks, his body stiffening, suppressing the anger in his heart: Who did this to her?

Realizing that Aiden didn't mean to let go, Anya immediately took a step back, raised her head vigorously, tried to break free of Aiden's hand, and smiled faintly, as if to say that she was fine.

"I'm fine, it's just that my nails accidentally scratched my face." Anya said.

Aiden returned to his seat, but he was not as calm as before, and the aura emanating from him was really terrifying. Although the anger is not directed at Anya, there is only Anya in the room now, so she is the only one affected.

Aiden knew that Anya was lying, and he could see Anya's short manicured nails. Such nails do not leave scars on the cheeks. What annoyed him even more was that he couldn't get Anya to explain that he wasn't from Anya. If Anya refuses to speak, he can't help her solve the problem. 1

Seeing Aiden at this time, Anya was a little puzzled, why did this man suddenly get angry? Was it because I refused to see him before? Doesn't Aiden want to talk to her now?

"I'm sorry I declined your invitation before, but I really need your help now." Anya finally decided to confess.

"What helps?" Aiden asked coldly. In fact, he already knows all about Anya's situation, but he is in a bad mood and has a cold attitude now.

"I need a sum of money to pay my mom for her hospitalization, can you lend it to me? I will pay you back as soon as possible, and I will also give you interest. Anya took a deep breath and continued: "Or I can work for you, I can do anything."

She was nervous when she said this, Aiden was the only person she could turn to right now, what would she do if Aiden refused?

Aiden just stared at her with an unpredictable expression, no pity, no disgust, and Anya didn't know if he would help her, so she could only wait.

"Why should I help you? Don't you know me?" He asked.

"Yes." Indeed, Anya didn't know the man in front of her, she looked over and over again, and still couldn't find the memory of this man in her head, but Aiden seemed to know the other party very well.

Seeing that Anya couldn't answer, Aiden asked again, "You don't remember me?"

"Have we seen each other before? Do we know each other?" Anya answered Aiden's question with a question.

She really didn't remember Aiden, after all, if they really knew each other, how could Anya forget about a character like Aiden?

"You have a good memory." Aiden simply said that he didn't give Anya the slightest hint about their relationship.

"I'll try to figure it out, but I really need help right now." Anya kept begging Aiden: "I can be your personal assistant, I am willing to do any job." ”

"I don't need a personal assistant, Leith alone is enough to help me with all the work." Aiden replied coldly.

Anya doesn't know who Leiz is, but judging by Aiden's tone, Leiz seems to be his cronie, so what can she do? She doesn't have any special abilities other than making perfumes.

"Then I can be your servant, I can clean this office, and I can clean your house." Anya has really fallen into despair, and she is willing to do any job, as long as it is legal, as long as she can pay for his mother's medical bills.

"I already have a lot of servants." Aiden replied briefly.

Anya felt that the hope in her heart was dashed, she felt that it was her fault, it must be because she had rejected Aiden's invitation before, which made him angry? Now that Aiden is unwilling to help her, Anya has lost her last hope. Where else should she go for help?

She looked down, thinking about what she could do to convince Aiden.

However, her brain doesn't seem to be working very well, and she is sluggish and can't think of anything to do.

When Aiden refuses to help, he can see the anxiety on Anya's face. It's not that he doesn't want to help Anya, he doesn't need Anya to be his personal assistant or servant, but he has other plans.

"I can help you." Aiden said, looking directly at Anya.

This sentence made Anya raise her head again. The eyes that had lost hope shone as if they had found a new hope. She glanced at Aiden and stammered, "You...... Would you like to help me?" She asked.

"Hmm......" Aiden muttered as he nodded.

Anya was so excited that she wanted to jump up from her chair. Finally! Finally someone was willing to help her

"I can do anything, I can clean the room, cook, clean, and move things." Anya said excitedly.

She looked at Aiden expectantly, waiting for Aiden to give her a job, and she was willing to pay for her mother's treatment at any cost.

Aiden calmly watched Anya's reaction, looked at her face carefully, and said, "Marry me."
