Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan)
Chapter 203

Chapter 203

Lola ended the call with Evan and went back into the house from the swimming pool.

Rain sat on the couch, eating the oranges she peeled. She noticed Lola coming back in. “Done with your call? Did you knock some sense into your cousin?”

“Sure did.” Lola gave a forced grin at Rain. She felt a little guilty towards Rain for not being able to tell her the truth, but it was not a good idea to create any rumors or potential trouble around Evan. It would be best that Lola just acted as if she did not know anything about it.

Meanwhile at JK Couture, Anya was finishing up the last design for Mdm. Welton's coat. When she was halfway through, her phone vibrated and it was Cindy. She had most probably seen the news on the internet. After all, the news spread quite vastly before Evan actioned and terminated the sources.

"Anya, are you okay? I saw the news on the matter with Lola this morning.” Cindy was so concerned about Anya that she called her the minute she reached office before she settled down at her desk. "Will this impact you in any way?"

“Let's just say, if I don't explain or rectify the matter publicly, I may lose my job and not be able to work as a designer in future.” Anya said solemnly.

"Don't say that! I am with you for sure!” Cindy said gently. “And who said you cannot work as a designer in future? You still have me. I am going to set up a company in future, a design company. You will be my lead designer

Cindy's words comforted her like the warm sun embracing a flower that had weathered a harsh storm. Tears welled up in Anya's eyes as she tried to sound as normal as possible. “Thank you, Cindy. I'm so glad to have you as my best friend.”

“You don’t have to thank me. What are best friends for right?” Cindy continued in a serious tone, “But I was not joking about what I said earlier. I do intend to start my own business in future. I can’t rely on my parents forever, right?” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"So, leave your word of thanks to later, after my business gets on track and I employ you officially.” "Yup."

"Oh right. When are you available to come by for house-viewing?”

“Today might be tough because of the whole saga. I'll see if I can sort it out later and probably come over after that?”

“Sure, no hurry. Anyway, my house is vacant now. You can move in anytime you want.”

"Okay."

Anya was truly touched by her best friend. This friend of hers was the best thing that had happened to her in this lifetime, of course other than her two precious kids.

Anya put down her phone. She pulled out a tissue to wipe the tears as she pursed her lips.

Chapter 203

She got up from her seat and made her way to the pantry to get some water. She got to the cooler and placed her mug down to refill. Another designer, Fann Crater, came into the pantry as well to make a cup of tea. When she saw Anya, her face immediately contorted in anger. A few moments ago, her client called her to call off the deal. It was a contract worth twenty thousand dollars. That would equate to 1.5 thousand dollars of commission. Her fat commission had gone down the drain because of the wrench.

The more Fann thought about it, the more enraged she became. Usually Fann was neutral about Anya, but losing her commissions because of her made Fann think otherwise. She couldn't resist not showing her displeasure after her hard work pursuing the deal had got her nothing in return.

Fann waited for Anya to refill her mug before she splashed the remaining tea in her own cup onto Anya. Anya's pink blouse

was drenched.

“All thanks to you, Anya. My client canceled her contract with me because of the trouble you created with Lola Mars. There are also some clients who wanted to renegotiate their deals. Why are you even still here in JK?"

“I am not the one behind all those Anya said coldly in her drenched blouse. Anya had been tolerant towards the bad attitude from her colleagues but it did not mean she would keep quiet about it. 2/2
