Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214 

Anya spent a brief moment sitting by her desk as she wanted to design Mdm. Welton’s jacket. However, her mind was blank when she was about to write some design notes. 

She felt very frustrated and seemed that she was unable to focus on other things if she did not take care of this issue. 

She let out a brief sigh, put her pen down and took a glance at Jake’s office. She was getting ready to talk to Jake about the viral incident. 

However, Jake exited his office the moment she got up. 

His gaze turned gentle when he noticed Anya as he slowed down his pace and walked over to her. He then said, “Oh, it’s good that you’re back, Anya. I need to talk to you about something.” 

“What is it, Mr. Hanson?” Anya asked as she listened closely to what he had to say. 

Jake cracked a natural smile and did not seem as uptight as she was. He then said, “JK Group will be taking part in a collaboration for an international fashion runway show in the next six months, We’ll be having a meeting about the collaboration in Paris next month. You can get ready for it because I’d be bringing you there with me.” 

Anya was completely stunned after Jake said that. She was also frowning hard when she heard that. 

It seemed that the collaboration in Paris Evan told her earlier in the car was true? 

However, she was nothing more than a fresh university graduate that was only working as an intern. Based on her position- and status, all of the other designers in the company would be more qualified than her. 

How could she even be the one to go? 

Moreover, she would be resigning soon anyway. What could she possibly do even if she had gone? 

Would that not be a waste? She would much rather leave this opportunity to the other long term employees in JK Group than waste this opportunity on herself. 

Thus, after some thought, Anya decided to reject his offer, so she said, “Mr. Hanson, we’re not even done taking care of Ms. Mars‘ incident. I quite unwilling to accept this offer.” 

“Lola’s incident will be taken care of eventually and our collaboration needs to be done as well. JK Group’s reputation is being tarnished at the moment but this will not affect the future plans laid by Mr. Welton for us, right?” Jake explained in a passionate tone. 

“This…” Anya stuttered. The truth was, Jake wanted to tell her that both incidents had nothing to do with each other. It seemed that he had faith that Anya was not the kind of person that would tarnish JK Group’s reputation ever since the beginning. Even if Lola’s incident was not taken care of immediately, this would not stop him from being determined to bring her to Paris. 

However, as he noticed how conflicted and guilty she looked, Jake did not want to force her, so he spoke to her in a gentle tone, “Alright then, we’ll talk about this after we’ve taken care of Ms. Mars‘ incident.” 

1/2 

Since the collaboration in Paris was set at the following month, there was still plenty of time for it. 

The asked Ms. Walker already and she has indeed been to the workshop but she was there to talk about the branding. The worker in the workshop has also told me about it and there’s nothing wrong with it. We don’t have any evidence to proof that it was het, so I will continue my investigation.” 

Anya nodded and replied. Thanks for trusting me, Mr. Hanson.” 

“Ive always trusted you.” Jake replied. He then took a glance at her before working on something else. 

Anya returned to her seat and felt slightly better than before. She wanted to hype herself up before working on the design draft again. 

However, she was feeling slightly thirsty. She went to the pantry to pour herself a glass of water. 

She then filled her mug up with the water cooler and did not notice the layer of white powder. 

After she was done, she let out a light sigh before taking a few sips of water while walking out.
