Desires Die Hard

Chapter 13

Five minutes later, Anya burst into the café with a bag, carrying a stack of design drafts.

She ran all the way to the café. Her face was beaded with perspiration and she was panting heavily.

She jogged up to Carol and handed the bag of drafts to her, "Carol, here are the drafts"

Carol threw an exasperated look at Anya. Instead of being grateful, she started reprimanding the young woman in front of the client. "You sure took your time. I gave you a simple task. Can't believe how long you took to get it done. If you're not interested in the job, you should leave."

After giving Anya a scathing rebuke, Carol turned back to the client. The annoyance on her face vanished and was replaced by a warm smile as she began discussing her designs with the client.

Anya stood next to them and watched their peppy discussion. They treated her as if she weren't there at all.

She huffed angrily, Carol was such a despicable person.

She was the one who had forgotten her designs in the first place. Anya had skipped lunch to bring them to her. It was a favor. How could she yell at her for taking her time?

She had to swallow her pride this time though. She was new at her job and had just joined the company/She couldn't afford to offend the senior staff in the company. She would never get any of her ambitions achieved if she couldry't even swallow her bruised pride for such a minor offense, She was willing to take a hit to her pride for her kids and for Ellie,

She was Anya MacMillan. She could do this! Anya told herself not to give up before deciding that she should head back to the office.

As she turned around, she saw Evan walking towards her.

The sight of that handsome young man made her stiffen instantly. The next moment, she was whirling around and hurrying outside.

She would rather die than run into him again. He might get mad and in a fit of anger demand that Jake fired her. Evan noticed Anyal run out of the café,

His dark eyes narrowed. A thought flickered across his mind. Why was she here?

Meanwhile, at the Welton Group Tower, on the fifteenth floor.

Sydney sashayed into the media department on her dangerously high heels. As soon as she stepped through the doors, she slipped into a discreet corner, whipped her phone out and called her mother.

She had gotten herself a job in Welton Group so that she could get closer to Evan and pursue the man,

But Evan was a busy man. It was a challenge trying to run into him at the office. He stood above the rest in Nordeny like the king of kings. He was the youngest CEO of a vast business empire worth billions of dollars.

Countless young women from respectable families wanted to marry him. She was one of them. But her family wasn't the wealthiest family among them. That was why she wasn't confident of her chances of gaining Evan's favor.

She had no choice but to sneak into his company and find an opportunity for them to get to know each other at work.

Sydney had considered repeating the trick she and Melissa had used on Anya. Drugging Evan and then falling into bed with the man. Her mother had advised her against it. Evan detested women who tried to drug him. The fact that they had done it to have sex with him, made his stomach churn with disgust and rage.

If she had done that, she would have lost all chances of gaining his favor. In fact, he wouldn't even spare her a glance after that. After being chased out of the Mac Millans and disappearing for a year, she had mysteriously turned up at Welton Group Tower. Sydney felt uneasy and distressed by Anya's sudden appearance. What if Anya was interested in Evan too? What if she intended to seduce the man as well?

This is Evan Welton they are talking about. Every woman in Nordeny would kill to become his wife and to become the young lady of the Welton family.

Thoughts flooded Sydney's head as she waited for her mother to pick up the call.

The call got through within seconds. Melissa was having a game of cards with her friends in the garden. Her voice was soft as she
