Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 312

Chapter 312 

In the JK Couture office. 

Anya had been thinking about Olive’s dress the whole afternoon. Suddenly, she got a call from Jamie who hadn’t contacted her for a long time. 

He invited her to dinner to talk about her mother’s legacy. 

Anya certainly wouldn’t refuse it when it came to her mother. She was agreeable to his invitation. 

After hanging it up, Anya watched the clock, and it was almost time to get off work. Luckily, Evan didn’t come to her. Otherwise, she would have to find an excuse for herself. 

Every time she tried to find an excuse, it gave her a headache. Anya put away the design draft and was going to get some water in the pantry. Since the day when she was poisoned, she was rather chary of getting water in the tearoom. 

It was weird that the surveillance video of that day was missing, given the powerful security system of the Welton Group. 

Evan had been looking into it but found no trace. 

After so many days, Anya had no hope that she would find the poisoner. She just wanted to avoid another similar incident. 

In the tearoom, Anya got a cup of water and was going out. 

– She saw Jake coming towards her. Jake invited her to dinner. 

Anya was troubled by that. She said with an awkward smile, “Mr. Hanson, I have an appointment tonight” 

“Really?” Jake did a double–take, and his face froze in surprise. 

He wondered, “Does she have a boyfriend?” Jake deeply regretted that he did not confess his affection to her earlier. 

He felt a sense of remorse that he had missed the opportunity 

Jake almost wanted to slap himself. “I’m such a coward.” he cursed himself silently. 

“Yes,” Anya replied calmly, “Mr. Hanson, I’ll be off work later.” 

Jake nodded and turned to look at Anya. Suddenly, he got the courage and asked, “Anya, do you have a boyfriend?” He wanted to confirm it. Because he decided to wait for her if she did have a boyfriend. 

Anya didn’t want to say “yes“. She guessed Jake might have a crush on her, but she didn’t want to hurt him. So she said after a pause, “Yes, I have a boyfriend.” 

Jake was startled and looked at Anya in amazement. The news had totally shattered him. 

“Mr. Hanson, I’ll go back to my desk. Seeing his sad face, Anya thought she’d better leave the tearoom.
