Desires Die Hard

Meanwhile, at the private hospital in Nordeny;

The moment Dan learned of the situation, he immediately sent bodyguards to protect Lola and prevented any nosy paparazzi, fans, or members of the public from coming close to her.

Since Anya and Jake were from JK Couture and had something to do with Lola’s predicament, the bodyguards did not stop them from entering the hospital.

Anya and Jake were permitted to wait outside the VIP hospital ward.

After 30 minutes, Lola was finally pushed out of the emergency room and sent to the intensive care unit for recovery.

Anya wanted to find out what happened, but Jake stopped her. Instead, he brought her to the nurses‘ station to find out what happened to Lola after ingesting some cake.

“I am partially responsible for this as well since I did not stop you from bringing cake.”

“Mr. Hanson, I did not buy the cake.” Anya did not want to bear sole responsibility for Lola’s situation.

“Then who bought it?” Jake thought Anya had brought the cake because she did some research and knew Lola liked it.

“Tammy gave it to me this morning”

“Tammy?” Jake frowned. He found it slightly inconceivable Tammy was behind it.

Tammy had worked at JK Couture far longer than him even though he beat her to the promotion. Since Tammy was a highly experienced designer, Jake could not believe she would do something like this

and sabotage Anya. “Are you sure she gave you the cake?”

“Absolutely. You can call her and ask now.” Anya did not want to let Tammy get away with it.

In the past, s

she might have foolishly shouldered all responsibility without a thought.

She knew she might not work at JK Couture for long and her fellow designers did not like her, but she did not want to take all the blame this time around.

She was oblivious as to why her colleagues hated her.

Since they kept making trouble for her, there was no reason for her to let them go on doing this…

Moreover, Anya was not lying or embellishing the facts about Tammy. Every word she said was the truth.

Hence, Anya had a clear conscience.

She simply wanted to become a designer at JK Couture.

Jake was somewhat disbelieving. However, he knew Anya was not a liar and she was good–natured, so he hesitated before

he said, “I will call and ask her about it.”

Anya nodded in agreement.

Jake went aside and made a call to Tammy.

Tammy quickly answered the phone. She seemed to be expecting Anya to blame her for the cake, so she was unsurprised and was completely composed as she spoke to Jake, “Mr. Hanson, what do you need me to do?”

“I have a question. Did you give Anya the cake this morning?” asked Jake mildly.

“Ver I did said Tammy calmly. “What har

“Did you know Ms. Mars is allergic to mango?” Tammy had genuinely given Anya the cake.

Jake instantly frowned even harder at the thought.

“Does she have allergies? If I knew about it, I wouldn’t have bought her the cake.” Tammy pretended to sound sorry and dejected. “Mr. Hanson, my bad. I am so sorry about causing Ms. Mars‘ allergies from acting up.”

“Why don’t you dock a month of my salary?” After Tammy went on about how sorry she was, she pretended to sound sincere. “I am so sorry about it.”

“How could I dock your pay if you didn’t know anything about it?” Moreover, Tammy was a long–time JK Couture employee, so it was not right to dock her pay since she did not intend on this to happen. “Never mind. I think Lola probably doesn’t wanna work with us anymore.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Oh, really? Mr. Hanson… it’s all my fault.” The moment Tammy heard what Jake said, she stifled her laughter as she acted apologetic.

“I have to go.” Jake hung up the phone now that he had figured things out.

Anya overheard a little of his conversation with Tammy.

From the sound of it, Tammy deliberately got her into trouble so that they would lose Lola’s project.

Tammy was pure evil!

Anya instantly pursed her lips tightly. She did not understand how she offended her fellow designers.

From the day she joined the company, she had worked hard at every little task they gave her.

Even if Carol purposely sent her to the factory to make her life a living hell, she did it without complaint.

Anya simply wanted to be a good designer and make a decent living for her family.

However, she ended up being such a pushover.
