Chapter 717 - Returning

"Tara, I'm back. Congratulations on your wedding!" Anya takes off her mask and shows her beautiful face.

Tara stared for a moment when she saw a face that she didn't expect to see today. The face of her friend whom she has not seen for a long time.

"Anya!" Tara immediately ran towards Anya excitedly and hugged her tightly. "You bastard, what kind of friend doesn't come to her best friend's wedding?"

Tara immediately grumbled at length, annoyed that she thought her best friend wouldn't be coming to her wedding.

"I've come now, right? Actually, I have come a long time ago. I saw throughout the event from the second floor," Anya smiled sweetly. "Marriage only happens once in a lifetime. How could I not come and see your and Nadine's wedding?"

"Why did you come secretly? Why didn't you tell me?" Tara glares irritably at her.

"I don't want to meet anyone. It's better for me to watch the party alone," said Anya.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Nadine entered. At first, she was completely unaware that the room was occupied. When she saw Anya, dhe was immediately shocked and shouted loudly, "Auntie!?"

"Shhhh!" Tara and Anya immediately put their index finger on their lips and asked Nadine not to be noisy.

Nadine then entered the room and locked the door. Only the three of them were in the room.

"Auntie, since when did you come? Did you come secretly? Did you not tell my uncle?" Nadine asked repeatedly.

Anya laughed at the question. "Today is your wedding day. How could I not come? I have to witness your marriage with my own eyes," Anya took Nadine's hand and invited her to sit on the sofa. She knew Nadine also wanted to escape and rest for a while there, just like Tara.

"I'm glad you're back. Arka and Aksa are getting more and more active now. They fight a lot, so I can't leave them alone. I think they'll be able to sit on their own in a few months," Nadine said, telling Anya about her two sons.

"I recorded their fight and sent it to the group chat. Have you seen it?" Tara asked.

"I've seen all the photos and videos that you sent in the group," Anya smiled. "I know you sent it to me on purpose. Thank you!"

"Auntie, now that you are back, are you going to go again?" Nadine held Anya's hand, seemingly reluctant to let go.

Anya stroked Nadine's head gently, careful not to spoil her neatly styled hair. "Do you miss me?"

"I miss you so much. Work is not cool without you. But don't worry, I can take care of Iris very well!" Nadine said proudly.

"I trust you. I've been working on my father's spice garden these past few months. I'll go home after harvest. Besides, my perfume school's construction will be finished around the same time, so I have to go back to organize the class and arrange student admissions," said Anya.

"Why are you so busy? What about Aiden and your kids?" Tara asked.

"My father created a children's area in my school. Later, I can invite Arka and Aksa to come to school and let them play there. Student parents can also entrust their children there," said Anya.

"Great! Even your child can work with you!" Tara looks amazed at Anya's way of thinking.

"Nadine is good at communicating and taking care of various things. After my school is finished, I want you to be the vice principal. Every time a student graduates, Iris can open new branches and job vacancies for them. All staff at Iris can also join the training program. We can choose managers from previous employees or talented students, without looking from outside again," said Anya.

When she said this, Anya seemed full of enthusiasm and confidence. She didn't look like a depressed person at all.

Plus, the idea is brilliant. Students graduating from Anya's perfume school will have the opportunity to work at Iris.

"Did you learn this from your school overseas?" Tara asked.

Anya nodded. "How many branches I can open depends on the number of the graduates since not all students want to stay until the end and graduate quickly," Anya said with a faint smile.

"What about staff training? Some of them already know how to use base ingredients and help guests in the special perfume making area. But we lack parfumeur," said Nadine.

"Not all shops need parfumeur, right?" asked Tara.

"No, but all I need is a perfumeur team. Currently, there are only two perfumeurs in Iris, me and Mrs. Esther. She cannot make her own perfume and has to discuss it with me. So, I want to create a team that can help me. That's why I started from founding a perfume school first and chose the greatest talents. It's not easy, but it's worth trying."

Anya is already thinking about the future. If she wanted Iris to grow rapidly, she had to have her own parfumeur team.

"No matter what you do, I will always support you. Tell me if you need help," said Tara.

"Of course I need your help. I also have to make sure that my perfume doesn't cause allergies and I can't do it without a doctor," Anya replied with a smile.

"So, can I also join your team? Am I also a parfumeur?" Tara looks happy.

"Sis Tara, if you join my aunt, you will still be a doctor, not a parfumeur," Nadine answered.

"It's okay. As long as I can join Anya's team, I will become famous later. Even though her career has just started, I'm sure Anya will be successful," Tara is very confident in her best friend.

Nadine heard Anya's name keep coming out of Tara's mouth and reminded her, "Sis, now you are married to my brother. This means you have to call her as your aunt, not Anya anymore."

"Let this aunt give her gifts to you," Anya opened her bag and took out a thick envelope.

Tara looked at the thick envelope greedily. Anya just chuckled seeing her best friend. "Call me aunt first!"

Tara opened her mouth, but calling her best friend aunt was too weird. Her mouth opens, closes and opens again. But no sound came out.

"Why didn't I hear anything?" Nadine joined in teasing Tara.

"I didn't hear it either. Tara, don't you want a gift from me?" Anya said, handing Nadine the envelope she was holding.

"Thank you, auntie!" Nadine accepted it happily.

After accepting it, Nadine deliberately blinked her eyes at Tara, as if she were showing off because she had gotten her prize.

Tara saw the envelope brought by Nadine and then looked towards Anya's bag. Is there a gift for her?

"What do you see? Try asking your aunt for a gift," Anya said on purpose.

"Auntie…" Tara looked reluctant, but was forced to say it.

"I can't hear you," Anya teased once again.
