Desires Die Hard

Anya hurriedly retreated as she reeled in shock from the car. Jake walked over as he played hero and defended her. “Anya, are you okay?”

“Mr. Hanson, I am fine.” Anya looked at the familiar Bentley with fear lingering in her heart as it swiftly pulled up into the VIP spot in the parking lot at Welton Group. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her

Instantly twitched when she spotted the car. Was that not Evan’s Bentley?

Why did he just almost run into her?

Anya found it unfathomable. As she contemplated hard, someone got off the Bentley.

Sure enough, it was the gorgeous Evan dress in a suit and leather shoes!

Also, the chauffeur did not get off the car to open the door.

Had he driven himself to work today?

Anya briefly looked at him before she veered her eyes fearfully. She turned her head to Jake as he stood beside her protectively, “Mr. Hanson, let’s go up to work, shall we?”

“Sure thing.” Jake somewhat reluctantly let go of Anya’s soft shoulders.

Her shoulders were undoubtedly soft.

A complicated look rose in Jake’s eyes just thinking about them.

Anya did not notice the strange look in Jake’s eyes. She simply did not want to see Evan. Perhaps she was still traumatized by the events that transpired that fateful night a year ago.

Every time the man saw her, he was terribly mean to her.

It was impossible for him to be nicer.

Anya clutched her purse and strode quickly to the employees‘ lift.

Jake quickly followed behind Anya to take the lift with her.

Evan naturally watched from nearby as they happily entered the lift together and his eyes instantly turned dark.

He saw them arriving at the office in the same car earlier.

The moment Evan saw Jake and Anya arriving in the same car, he did not know what came over him. A strange emotion surged through him making him step on the gas on impulse and speed towards them.

Evan cooled down after speeding towards them.

Was he possessed or something?

Last night after he suddenly embraced her in the car, he was possessed by a strange desire and wanted to have her all to himself.

However, he clearly knew she was a scheming woman.

After what she did to him a year ago, how could he want to sleep with her?

Evan composed himself and stopped looking at them.

Even if Jake and Anya were dating, it was none of his business.

Evan headed over to the CEO’s private lift while Jake and Anya used the employees‘ lift.

Both the lifts went upstairs one after another a few seconds apart and they did not encounter each other.

Everything went on peacefully until around 10:00 am when Evan’s pal, Dan, came to visit.

Dan typically did not visit Evan at Welton Group. He wanted to avoid suspicion and stay out of Evan’s way.

However, he always ended up coming to the company needing help and this time was no different.

After Dan knocked on the office doors and entered, Evan smiled as he said, “You never come to the company for no reason. Since you are here, what do you need from me this time?”

“You certainly know me well. Dan smiled somewhat mischievously as he pulled out a chair in front of Evan’s desk and sat down slowly. “How are things going for you recently?”

“Same ol“, same ol‘.” Evan got up and personally poured him a cup of tea.

After placing the cup of tea in front of Dan, Evan continued, “What about you?”

“Things are the same for me.” Dan turned the teacup by its handle and asked, “Has Shane looked you up recently?”

“Yes, but I didn’t see him.”

“He has certainly taken a lot of interest in you of late.” Dan smiled. “Okay. Now onto business. I really need your help.”

“What do you need from me?”

“My cousin is getting engaged soon. I hear you previously bought over a famous local fashion design operation. Can you recommend a wedding designer for her? I need one urgently.”
