Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 

As soon as she appeared at the lobby, the guards called Hayden and informed him that Anya was leaving the building. 

The young man delivered the news to Evan as soon as he ended the call. 

Evan simply hummed when he heard what Hayden told him. Then, he told Hayden to leave the room. 

He reached for the phone on his desk and called Jake. 

He wasn’t simply going to ask Jake where Anya had gone. 

He was going to tell Jake that Anya was now responsible for designing the wedding gown for Dan’s cousin. 

Jake told him that Anya had headed to his grandmother’s place. 

After the call, Evan rose to his feet. He decided to pay his grandmother a visit. 

It was two in the afternoon. It was warm and bright outside. 

Anya made her way to Mdm Welton’s place as soon as she could. 

The old lady was seated on the couch with her pet dog, waiting for Anya. 

She saw Anya as soon as the young woman entered the house. The old lady beamed brightly at the sight of the young woman, “Anya! Come and take a seat.” 

“Mdm Welton, here’s the design for your hat. Please take a look.” Anya didn’t take a seat. Instead, she simply handed the draft to the old lady. 

She was worried that Mdm Welton might try to keep her for dinner. 

She had been going home late for the past few days. 

Her kids were beginning to get upset. 

Mdm Welton placed her beloved pet dog down and took the draft from Anya. Her eyes scanned the draft. Delight rippled. across her eyes. The young woman was a great designer. She loved her work 

It was perfect. 

She approved of both the hat’s style and shape. 

It was exactly what she wanted for her hat. 

“I love your design, Anya. You can go ahead and get the hat made.” Mdm Welton handed the draft back to Anya. “I’ll be sure 

to recommend you to my friends. They need new clothes every month and they’re extremely generous clients. You can help them out when you have time.”

O 

Anya was overcome with gratitude when she heard Mdm Welton say that she would recommend Anya to new clients. She nodded profusely and thanked the old lady. “Thank you, Mdm Welton.” 

The old lady simply smiled. “It’s no big deal. You’re a great designer. That’s why I’m recommending you to my friends. I wouldn’t do that if you weren’t good at your job.” 

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll make a move then. I have to get back to the office.” Anya was worried that Mdm Welton might ask her to stay for dinner. 

That was why she decided to make her excuses now and leave as soon as she could. 

She was right. A 

soon as those words left her lips, Mdm Welton brought up the subject of dinner. “Why don’t you stay for dinner, Ms. MacMillan? 

“Mdm Welton, I’m supposed to be at work.” Anya knew it. 

She felt a wave of exasperation surge inside her. 

“I know that. You can stick around and talk about work. I’ve been thinking of getting a new coat,” Mdm Welton said smoothly as she made her excuses for Anya.

She probably had plenty more where that came from. 

Anya found herself at a sudden loss for words. 

“Let’s take a look at the coats in my walk–in wardrobe, shall we?” Mdm Welton grabbed Anya’s wrist and tugged her gently away. She didn’t seem to mind the fact that Anya was just a junior designer working at Welton Group. 

She seemed to adore Anya and treated her like her own granddaughter. 

Anya didn’t want to take a look at Mdm Welton’s coats.
