Chapter 168 - Clarification
Anya panicked when she saw the two women about to beat her up. They destroyed everything in her shop and intended to beat her up. She didn't know what to do.
Instinctively, she immediately took out her cell phone and called Aiden.
Aiden was in the conference room in the middle of a company meeting when suddenly a familiar song was heard. The song was his and Anya's ringtone.
He looked at his cellphone screen and it was true, Anya was the one calling him.
Since their marriage, Anya rarely took the initiative to call him first.
Aiden immediately picked up the call. Before he could hear Anya's voice, he heard the sound of crockery coming from the end of the phone.
"What's wrong?" Aiden immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
"Someone said that I had an allergen and poison in my perfume. They made a fuss and destroyed everything… "Anya held back her tears and her voice was trembling.
"Do not be afraid. I'll be there." Aiden hurried to the elevator. Harris immediately caught up with him and told Abdi to pick them up in the lobby.
"Mr. Aiden has an important matter to deal with right now. I will replace him in this meeting and convey all the results of the meeting to him. Where are we? Please continue." Nico immediately stepped in to calm the situation.
"Mr. Nico, before we finished reporting, Mr. Aiden suddenly left. This has never happened before."
"Mr. Aiden left in a very hurry. What happened?"
Nico's face looked sinister, unlike his usual cheerful personality. He slammed the document he was holding onto the table, "You don't sit here gossiping about your superiors. Continue the meeting!"
Silence immediately filled the room.
Nico always smiled and told stories in front of Aiden and the Atmajaya family elders. However, when he was needed to lead the situation, he could turn into a duplicate of Aiden.
Aiden left the people in the meeting room and rushed to save his wife, while Nico stayed behind and replaced his uncle.
When Abdi escorted them to the Rose Scent, Harris began to find out what really happened.
"Sir, a girl named Wina uses perfume made by Madam and has allergies. Currently, she is in the hospital to check what really happened. The information will come soon."
"Check Wina's family if they have anything to do with Imel." Aiden's first reaction when he heard of trouble was to suspect Imel. Imel was always getting him into trouble and using various sneaky tricks to bring down Aiden. Now Anya, as Aiden's wife, was also hit by the same stone.
When Aiden arrived, Rose Scent was already surrounded by many people.
The guards were busy evacuating the crowd and the police had arrived at the scene.
Outside the shop, many people came to return the perfume they bought. These people heard that the perfume from Rose Scent contained a poison that was harmful to their skin so they rushed to return it and demanded their money be returned.
"Sir, let's go through the side door." Harris suggested.
Aiden didn't seem to hear Harris's words and headed straight for the main door.
The people who witnessed Aiden's arrival immediately stepped aside and opened a path for him. Aiden was like a king while the people around him were like bodyguards paving the way for their king.
Harris followed beside Aiden. Even the policemen who were working stopped when they saw him coming.
Anya was sitting on the sofa holding her head. When she saw Aiden coming from the door, she immediately felt relieved.
Aiden could see the wound on Anya's forehead and his heart tightened. He immediately went to her.
"What happened?" Aiden asked, sitting beside Anya and holding her hand.
Anya leaned closer to her husband, inhaled the faint scent of her perfume and breathed a sigh of relief. This scent felt so familiar to her, the perfume she gave Aiden last night.
Mila brought a plastic filled with ice and gave it to Anya, "Anya, use this ice."
Aiden glanced coldly at Mila, terrifying the girl and unable to say anything.
Anya accepted the ice plastic and placed it on her forehead. Meanwhile, her other hand was holding Aiden's as if she was seeking protection from her husband, "My forehead was hit by a perfume bottle. The bottle was not made of glass so the wound was not bad. And the bottle is so small that my forehead is only slightly swollen. Don't worry."
Aiden held back his anger and scolded Mila, "Why did all this happen? Why don't you report it to me immediately?"
"Sir, I'm sorry. I couldn't take care of Anya and let her get injured. As soon as the two middle-aged women came, it was I who received them. Everything happened so fast that I didn't have time to call you." Mila said regretfully.
Aiden didn't say anything anymore, but that didn't mean he would forgive Mila for what happened today. Mila's job in this place was to look after Anya and report to Aiden if anything happened. But Mila failed to do so and made Anya hurt.
The reporters were seen gathering in front of the shop without anyone noticing.
Harris immediately moved quickly and gave a statement to the reporters, "Fellow journalists, the investigation has been completed. The two limited edition perfumes that Rose Scent just launched yesterday are made from ingredients that have gone through a filtering process. You can bet the ingredients are very safe!"
"This is an examination report from Miss Wina. She was hospitalized with mercury poisoning. We all know that the ingredients of perfume consist mostly of alcohol and a little essence to create the aroma. Both the alcohol and the essence of this perfume are so refined that it is impossible for them to contain even heavy metals like mercury in them. It is certain that what happened to Miss Wina has nothing to do with Rose Scent."
That statement caused a stir.
After that, Harris showed the health license, perfume quality inspection certificate, patent license and perfume ingredients for the new perfume. It even showed approved industrial and commercial tax returns.
The licenses stated that the perfume sold by Rose Scent was safe. The allergy suffered by Wina had nothing to do with the perfume made by Anya.
The two middle-aged women were immediately arrested by the police for causing a commotion in a public place and causing harm to Rose Scent. They not only had to compensate for the losses suffered by Rose Scent but they also had to be legally responsible.
Mila arranged all employees to handle customers who wanted to return their goods.
Esther approached Anya and Aiden who were on the sofa and said to Aiden, "Aiden, it would be better if you let Anya clarify everything directly to the reporters in front."
Anya felt a little nervous and held Aiden's hand tightly, "I- .. I'm scared. What should I say?"
"I will accompany you." Aiden hugged Anya's waist and looked at her gently.
Together with Esther and Aiden, Anya stood before the reporters, "I'm Anya, a chemical engineering student. I was born with a sensitive sense of smell so my interest in the world of perfume has only increased. Yesterday was the day of launching my new product."
"What can a thief like her do?" Whispered one of the people in the crowd. However, that voice could be heard.
Aiden's face turned grim when he heard that, "Diana Hutama is a famous parfumeur. After she left Amore, Amore was still selling perfume made by Diana Hutama. What does it mean?"
"I believe in Diana Hutama and also believe that the explosion incident ten years ago has a secret behind it. I'm sure Anya can create miracles like her mother."
"Today, I would like to introduce the head perfumeur from Rose Scent, the daughter of Diana Hutama, Anya Tedjasukmana. You can listen to her explanation regarding the two perfumes that were recently launched."
