Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Anya followed Esther into her office. The office looked like an office in general. A desk and work chair was at the end of the room along with sophisticated computer sets. Meanwhile, on the side wall, there was a bookshelf containing various books about perfume.

However, Esther did not step towards her desk as Anya thought. Instead, she walked over to one of the large bookshelves and pushed it away. Suddenly the wall behind the shelf opened, showing a laboratory behind it. ​​

'It was a hidden laboratory ...'

Anya was flabbergasted as she stepped into the secret laboratory. It was like the scene she'd seen in movies.

"There are some of the spices commonly used in my laboratory on the table. How many spices do you know? Can you smell it and tell the difference?" Esther stood aside, folded her arms across her chest. She looked closely at Anya.

Anya walked over to the table, scanning the whole laboratory with sparkling eyes. She fell in love at first sight! This was truly her dream workplace!

Usually she would make perfume in a normal place, not a hidden place that was huge and full of various spices and herbs like this.

"Can I touch it?" Anya asked Esther.

"Please. These are the spices I chose for the job interview." Esther replied, stretching out her hand, inviting Anya to touch the ingredients.

Anya touched the spices on the table and watched them closely, "Cardamom, iris, balsam…" She named them as she glanced at Esther. She didn't know whether she should continue or not.

"Hmm ... How about that one?" Esther pointed at the spice.

Anya took the spices Esther pointed to and smelled its aroma. She closed her eyes, trying to remember the familiar scent in her mind.

Her eyes lit up as they opened again, "Benzoin?"

"Yes! Continue!" Esther nodded in satisfaction.

"Lemon extract, rose essential oil, violet flowers, lavender, tuberose, musk..."

When Anya mentioned the spices one by one, suddenly Esther's cell phone rang. Esther took her cell phone out of her lab robe and saw Imel's name on the screen.

She did not immediately answer the call. She turned to look at Anya first and asked, "Can you make perfume?"

"Yes." Anya replied, nodding her head.

"Make a unique perfume of your own creation with the existing spices. Your work clothes are over there. I'll pick up the phone for a moment." Esther said, pointing to a shelf in the corner of the room. After that, she immediately turned around and walked out of the laboratory.

The laboratory doors then closed, leaving Anya the only person there. However, she didn't mind at all. She was currently in the perfume world. Her heart had never been this peaceful.

She closed her eyes and smelled the scent in the air while thinking about what kind of perfume she should make. She had to think about the theme first.

When she closed her eyes, Aiden's face suddenly appeared in her mind. Today was her first date with Aiden. Maybe she should make a perfume about love.

She immediately put on the work clothes that Esther showed her, avoiding any dirt or other substances contaminating her perfume and changing the scent of her perfume.

…

Meanwhile, Esther sat down at her desk. She received a call from Imel while looking at the computer in front of her which was connected to CCTV in the laboratory room. She secretly observed all of Anya's movements in her laboratory.

"Esther, don't let the wolves enter your cage. Anya Tedjasukmana is no ordinary person. She is the daughter of Diana Hutama." Imel said from across the phone.

Esther listened to Imel's warning as she tapped her fingers on the table and thought.

"In my eyes, Anya is just a college girl who needs money and a job. I don't care who her mother is." Esther replied casually.

"I'm good enough to remind you not to fall like me. I had a big loss because of Diana. Don't be sorry if you get stuck like me." Imel said irritably before hanging up the phone unilaterally.

After the call ended, Esther did not immediately return to the laboratory. She watched Anya from her computer secretly. She did not want to disturb the girl's concentration when creating her own perfume.

Anya's face was full of smiles when she mixed various ingredients for her perfume. She really enjoyed the process.

Until finally, Anya lifted her head and a sense of satisfaction showed on her face. Esther rose from her chair and entered the laboratory.

Anya immediately handed Esther a small bottle of perfume filled with enthusiasm, "Mrs. Esther, this is a perfume that I created myself. I call it… First love." Anya's face looked shy when she said it.

The smell of green tea mixed with jasmine created a fragrant yet light aroma. The mix of mimosa and acacia flowers was sweet but not too overwhelming. Like a spoiled little girl who fell in love for the first time.

Not only that, Esther was surprised as the scent of flowers slowly disappeared and was replaced with a soft and faint lemon scent. All the scents were smelled alternately, felt light, none of which stood out from each other. Truly like an inexperienced girl, tasting the taste of love for the first time.

Esther felt her heart flutter from Anya's perfume, but she tried to hide it and said calmly, "You are accepted. Tomorrow you can start work."

Anya felt so happy. She got hired! She did not expect things to go this smoothly.

"Thank you, ma'am! I will work hard." Anya thanked her as she bowed her body. Her joy could not be expressed in words.

Esther just stared at her with a smile, "Regarding hours of work and salary, ask Ben. He is the store manager in charge of all the employees in this shop. He will explain everything to you."

"Well! Thanks again, Mrs. Esther. I will say goodbye first!" Anya said as she hurried towards the door.

Being too excited, she forgot that she was still wearing the shop's work clothes. "Ehem ... Please return her work clothes." Said Esther, clearing her throat.

Anya's face immediately flushed with embarrassment. She immediately took off the clothes and hung them on the original shelf.

Esther's gaze lingered on Anya until she could no longer be seen from her study.

…

Outside Esther's office, Anya met Ben again. They descended together towards the lower floor.

"Tomorrow, Mrs. Esther won't come to the shop. You can work on the first floor and adapt to the shop environment first. You also have to quickly learn about Rose's products." Ben explained.

"Fine," Anya replied, nodding, "What about my working hours?"

"Work hours are from 8 am to 5 pm every day and you can rest at 12 o'clock. Your salary will be calculated by the hour. Are there any other questions?" Asked Ben.

"Nothing." Answered Anya. She had absolutely no objection to the arrangement. She was very much ready to go to work.

Ben nodded at Anya's answer, satisfied that this new employee didn't complain much, "These are products made by Rose. There are perfumes, essential oils, and aromatherapy candles. We also receive special orders from customers who want to make their own perfume." Ben gave Anya a brief explanation about Rose.

When Anya was walking around the shop with Ben and learning about the various products and ins and outs of Rose, someone suddenly mentioned her name.

"Anya!" It was a woman's voice that sounded shrill, coming from the direction of the shop door.

Anya lifted her head and looked towards the shop door. A young girl stood in front of the shop wearing fancy clothes, high heels and a branded bag.

Seeing that girl, Anya felt like hiding! She had to get out of that place immediately!

Raisa was standing in front of the door of the Rose Scent!

The employees at the shop immediately greeted her with warmth and a big smile, "Welcome to Rose Scent."

"Sir, it looks like a customer has come. You must be busy right now. I will say goodbye first. Tomorrow I'll be working soon!" Anya said hastily. She immediately turned around and walked towards the side door with brisk steps.

Raisa immediately ran and blocked Anya's path when she saw that the woman was about to leave from the side door.

"Anya ..." Raisa said her name with a sweet smile.

However, the cute smile on the girl's face made Anya feel a bad feeling...
