Chapter 77 - Have You Ever Loved Me? (1/2)

”Eh, but ...” Anya was about to prevent Ben from leaving. She wanted to tell Ben that she would serve the guests up front and let Ben clean Raka's wound.

She immediately stopped Ben and said, ”I can't do it. It's better for Mr. Raka to go to the hospital.”

She stood firmly in the doorway with no intention of stepping forward, trying to stop Ben from leaving the room. If she took even one step forward, Aiden would be furious with her. If she took one step closer, Harris's job would be at stake.

Ben looked a little annoyed that Anya didn't do what he said, ”You help Mr. Raka clean the wound. Take out all the broken glass in his hands, make sure nothing remains. Dress the wound neatly before Mr. Raka goes to the hospital so that there is no infection!” Ben ordered firmly.

Raka felt bad seeing Anya being scolded by her manager on her first day of work, ”Sorry I was a bother. I'll pay for the damage that was done at the shop.”

”Mr. Raka, this is Anya's first day of work so she doesn't explain the security measures. It is all our negligence to cause you this kind of injury. There is no need to pay compensation, we will pay for your hospital fees.” Ben said politely to Raka.

”Anya had reminded me not to be too nervous and not to grip the bottle too hard. All of this is my own fault for not following her words.” Raka said, trying to defend Anya.

When they were talking, suddenly one of the employees approached them in panic, ”Manager, there are lots of customers outside.” They were seriously short on help because Ben and Anya were not in the shop.

”Manager, please just continue your work. Let Anya clean my wound.” Raka said, asking Ben to leave immediately.

Ben nodded to the request and said goodbye to Raka, leaving Anya and Raka alone in the room.

Anya just stood silently in the doorway, not wanting to step forward and also not having the heart to go to see the wound on Raka's hand which was still covered in blood. The cloth that was used to cover the wound temporarily had turned red.

”Do you really not want to look at me to that extent?” Raka asked in a soft voice.

Anya just stayed where she was and looked at Raka with uncertainty. She didn't dare to move at all, and didn't want to show her anxiety to Raka.

Anya was considering what to do while gritting her teeth. Finally, she decided she would just clean Raka's wound and go back to work after that.

She entered the employee break room and squatted beside Raka, opening the first aid kit Ben had placed on the table, ”Put your hands on the table, I'll clean it.” Anya said while taking out tongs, cotton and disinfectant.

Raka didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the table, opening his palm.

”It will hurt a little. Hold on!” Anya held the tongs to remove the broken glass that was still stuck in Raka's hand while blowing it to reduce the pain. Raka was speechless as he endured the pain in his hand. After all the broken glass had been removed, Anya immediately cleaned the wounds with disinfectant.

Anya was not like most women who would scream or even faint when they saw blood and wounds. She calmly cleaned the wound on Raka's hand and also quickly bandaged Raka's wound then told him to go to the hospital immediately.

”Anya, leave Aiden!” Raka said, holding Anya's hand who was about to get up to leave him.

”Aiden is very nice to me. I will not leave him. Raka, we shouldn't meet again. Don't come to this place again.” Anya said calmly.

”I know you need money so you want to marry Aiden. But have you ever thought why Aiden would suddenly marry you? I'm sure there must be a conspiracy behind all of this.” Raka replied while looking sincerely at Anya's face. He really wanted to help Anya.

”I'm just an ordinary person. No property and nothing. I'm just a poor girl. What can Aiden get by marrying me?” Anya laughed, laughing at herself and her miserable fate.
