Desires Die Hard

“Enough, Get back to work.” Now that the air was cleared, Rina told everyone to go back to work.

Everyone headed back to their office, including Carol.

The female designer who was acquainted with Shane did not leave right away. Instead, she ingratiated herself onto him. “Mr. Brown, shall I show you to the conference room?”

Shane did not have the time to hang around at JK Couture. He was here to personally apologize to Evan for being rude to him at the teahouse previously.

He waved her away coldly. “You may leave now. Ms. MacMillan can show me the way.”

He had blatantly told the female designer to make herself scarce.

The female designer was instantly awkward, but she did not dare to linger. Instead, she bit her lip before she turned to leave feeling humiliated.

The

moment

the female designer left, Anya thanked Shane courteously, “Mr. Brown, thank you so much earlier.” She promptly turned to leave.

Shane had a bad reputation in high society.

Although Anya had never encountered him previously, she heard quite a bit about him, so she decided to keep a safe distance from him.

However, she had caught Shane’s interest. To be precise, he was interested in taking her into his harem. He wanted her to become his lover and another one of his playthings.

Anya courteously kept a distance and walked back to her desk, but Shane stopped her and said, “Ms. MacMillan, may I have the honor of having dinner with you?”

“I can book a table at Morton’s,” said Shane as he looked at Anya with his eyes bright,” heard it used to be your favorite restaurant

Had he already investigated her habits?

Anya lost her cool and instantly felt worried. She promptly developed a sense of heightened caution. The man was even more dangerous than

Evan.

How could he have investigated her so quickly?

If he found out she had children, everyone in the high society would come to know of it, including Evan

The more Anya thought about it, the more it sent chills down her back.

She slowly clenched her fingers tightly.

“Mr. Brown, thank you for the offer, but I have to work overtime tonight, replied Anya as she forced herself to remain calm as she composed

herself.

“Really? How late do you have to work tonight?” Shane refused to give up and kept walking towards her.

Anya retreated as she put on a fake smile. “I am going to be very late. Maybe after 12:00 am.”

12:00 am?

D

Shane could not tell Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

ot tell if it was true or if she simply did not want to dine with him. He contemplated before he said,

“So late? Do you

like your job?”

That was certainly inconvenient

“” really like my job.” Anya quickly reached the front of her desk. Since there was nowhere else to go. Anya could only stay still.

Shane kept walking up in front of her, but he did not continue flirting. Instead, he simply said, “Well, then I am out of luck. Perhaps we can do it some other time when you are free.”

Anya had no interest in eating with him. No way since he was such a playboy.

However, she continued to sound courteous. “Of course, Mr. Brown.”

“Then see you around.” Shane glanced at her flirtatiously before he swaggered to the top floor to see Evan.

The moment Shane left, Anya powerlessly sat down at her desk right away and felt giddy.

She needed some time to calm herself after all the events that transpired earlier.

At the CEO’s office, on the top

floor.

Hayden told the man sitting at the desk about Shane’s little heroic gesture at JK Couture earlier. Evan– sneered coldly after hearing the report from Hayden.

His first reaction was not to wonder what business Shane had here. Instead, he was annoyed that the worsan flirted with him as well.

Now even Shane had made it clear of his interest in Anya.
