Desires Die Hard

Anya went stiff when she saw all the juice on Evan’s cool gorgeous face after she was done coughing it uncontrollably onto

him.

After all, Evan had never suffered such a huge embarrassment all his life.

His gorgeous face and black hair were covered with the sticky orange–colored fluid.

Anya instinctively pursed her lips tightly as she thought about whether to apologize to Evan.

Dan had already told the waiter to bring a hot towel so that Evan could clean up the mess.

All the other female patrons in the restaurant had noticed Anya’s little accident and turned to look at Evan. Despite the mess he was in, it did not stop them from feeling absolutely obsessed. Instead, they spoke in hushed tones as they discussed whether Anya was the kind of woman who could have done it purposely. Was she deliberately trying to get the man’s attention?

It I was mind–boggling. Would anyone go around coughing juice on some random person’s face?

Just as everyone gossiped about Anya’s intentions, Jake suddenly stood up and swooped in to save Anya as he bowed and apologized, “Mr. Welton, I am so sorry. Anya is a new employee. Since she is a fresh graduate, she is a little careless. She shouldn’t have done that. Allow me to apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her.”

Jake was JK Couture’s managing director and her boss, but he did not hesitate to lower himself to apologize on Anya’s behalf. Even though Anya wanted to keep a safe distance from Jake, she could

not help feeling moved. She automatically stood up and thanked him, “Mr. Hanson, sorry for causing trouble.”

The moment she finished her sentence, she realized her inappropriateness for overlooking Evan and apologized to him as well, “Mr. Welton, I am so sorry about the juice.”

Evan sat coldly in his seat with a towel wiping the juice without paying any attention to Anya.

Anya felt he must be furious judging from his reaction and went quiet.

Jake noticed Anya’s expression and thought she was afraid, so he whispered to make her feel better, “You are a fresh graduate with no experience. From now on, you have to be more careful.”

Anya was unafraid. Instead, she was simply just thinking about what Jake said.

Since Jake was worried about her, she politely acknowledged him before nodding her head to assure him she was fine.

However, the two of them kept interacting without checking on the true victim, Evan

Evan was usually calm and proud and rarely paid any attention to women, but things were different this time.

Since Evan had taken an interest in Anya recently, he could not stand the sight of Anya making eyes at some other man right in front of him. He instinctively sneered coldly before slamming the hot towel on the table hard and saying to Dan coldly, “Mr. Baker, enjoy your breakfast. I have to go.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he strode off without looking at Anya.

Anya turned to look at Evan as he left. She could sense something throbbing in her head and she had a bad feeling about this. After his tall body disappeared from the restaurant completely, she weered her eyes and sat down with Jake

She had completely ruined Dan’s breakfast today.

Anya pursed her lips as she apologized to Dan, “Mr. Baker, I am so sorry about this.”

Dan could tell right away something was wrong with his friend recently. Why would a guy like him who was not interested in dating a woman suddenly custom make high–end children’s furniture? Also, he seemed to be showing interest in Anya.

He had to help his friend out with the girl.

Otherwise, Evan might end up single his entire life.

“It’s okay. I know you didn’t mean it.” Dan genuinely had a much better temper in comparison to Evan who had a tendency to be domineering and cold.

He did not coldly reprimand Anya for her actions at all.

Instead, Dan even comforted her

Anya felt slightly more at ease as she inhaled gently. Jake kept flattering Dan to help distract him.

Dan caught on to Jake’s enthusiasm and reckoned he was interested in Anya

His thin lips moved slightly as he smiled without saying a word.

He simply said, “Ms. MacMillan, I am counting on you to help my cousin with her wedding dress. I hope she will not get disappointed.”

“I won’t disappoint her. Don’t worry, Mr. Baker,” said Jake as he nodded.

“I am about done eating. If you feel like eating, feel free to order anything and put it on my tab later.” Dan put down his cutlery before picking up the napkin on the table and wiping his hands elegantly. Tm off.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he stood up and strode out of the restaurant

Jake and Anya promptly stood up and saw him off.

Shortly after Dan was gone, Anya and Jake left the restaurant as well and prepared to drive over to Dan’s cousin’s place.
