Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan)
Chapter 210

Chapter 210

“Evan, you can be really considerate towards Ms. MacMillan, aren't you?” Lola teased as she glanced at Evan and smirked.

Anya immediately jumped in after Lola's comment. “Ms. Mars, please don't be mistaken. There is nothing between us.”

Evan just listened and did not comment. He continued to cut the steak into small pieces for Anya. Suave, generous, young yet successful... while he was always aloof and never amiable. A close friend of Evan would know that his indifferent attitude was only to deter the ladies he was not interested in away from him. As for Anya whom he was interested in, he would dote on her generously

Lola thought it would be anyone's honor to have a bachelor like Evan, who was born with a silver spoon and managed one of the top companies in the industry, to take an interest in them. But to Anya, it felt like men thought that they could have everything, including ladies, and manipulate them when they had the wealth. But she did not like it that way.

“Evan is really taking good care of you.” Lola continued teasing as she glanced at Evan who was still at Anya’s steak. "After all, Evan hasn't cut steaks for any other ladies before.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Anya was slightly startled by her remark and paused. She pursed her lips slightly. Wanting to distant herself from Evan, she replied, “Ms. Mars, Mr. Welton is nice to all employees in the company. Please don't be mistaken.

“He treats everyone with the same kindness."

In any case, she would want to avoid imposing on Evan.

The moment she finished her sentence, Evan became solemn and put his cutleries down. He placed the plate of cut steak in front of Anya. With a commanding voice, he asked, “Ms. MacMillan, do you really think I treat all employees the same? You really think I am that generous?”

Anya fell silent as the atmosphere became a little awkward. She subconsciously bit her lips and started eating her steak as she did not want to comment any further. She was afraid that the more she said, the messier the situation would become.

Only Lola was enjoying herself while teasing them. This couple... one who was wooing and another rejecting the courtship. If she had not seen it for herself, no one would probably believe that Evan, the CEO whom thousands of women highly sought after, would be rejected by a lady.

Lola chuckled as she could not hold back her laughter anymore. She knew she shouldn't continue teasing them otherwise Evan would be unhappy about her bullying his woman. She smiled to herself and ate her salad.

Meanwhile at Jake's office while Anya and Evan were out for lunch, Carol sat down in the seat off the other side of Jake's desk. She seemed well prepared and tranquil as she was being questioned by Jake.

“Ms. Walker, the tailor at the factory mentioned to me, you went to visit him in his office last week?” Jake asked though he was quite unwilling to suspect Carol. Carol had been working with Jake in JK for many years. There had not been issues with her character before. Or at least, he did not come across any situation where it showed her flawed character or that she betrayed the company in these years being colleagues. Jake wanted to remain tactful so he did not get to the point immediately.

But Carol was not dumb. She knew what Jake was getting at. She smiled calmly and said, "Yes, Mr. Hanson. I have been to the factory, but that was for the major deal from overseas you mentioned to me. Didn't you ask me to source for a suitable factory?

“I have been to several factories to find out if they would be able to meet our requirements. Are you implying that because / visited the factory, it made me the person who leaked the news or sabotaged the company?
