Desires Die Hard

When Carol, who had previously deliberated to trip Anya, noticed her entering the meeting room with Jake. She clenched her fists enviously while stomping her feet on the ground.

hat little wench is truly a pain to deal with

It seemed that she had never once hated any women before. However, Anya was the first to her.

While Carol was brooding near the meeting room, a designer who was quite close to her came over and asked, “Hey Carol, your meeting is about to begin soon, what are you still standing about here for?”

“What else can I do anyway?” Carol relaxed her clenched fist before furiously exclaiming while gritting her teeth, “It’s all that little wench’s fault. Say, when designers like us first got employed in JK Group, we don’t intentionally flirt with Mr. Hanson, right?

“That little wench has only been here for two days and yet she went on ahead to flirt with Mr. Hanson. How can I not be furious?” Carol furiously exclaimed.

It was only natural for the designer to stand on the same side as Carol as she exclaimed, “She is a wanch alright. Just look at her, she thinks she can do whatever she wants just because she’s beautiful.”

Carol scoffed as she said, “What do you mean beautiful? She’s nothing more than a shameless wench.”

“Oh come on now, don’t get so worked up now, Carol. Isn’t she your staff? Just make her life difficult and when she messes kick her out of JK Group. Let’s see how she flirts with Mr. Hanson then ”

The instant Carol heard that, a sinister glint flashed across her eyes.

She’s right, why didn’t I think of that? That little wench is directly under my supervision!

If she was to cause Anya to mess up intentionally, she would be able to kick her out from JK Group.

up, you’d be able to

Carol’s mood improved slightly when she thought about that. She would make sure she kick that little wench out of the company.

It did not take long for most of the staff in the design department to arrive at the huge meeting room when the meeting began.

Since Anya was still an inter, she was unable to share the same table with the other more experienced designers during the meeting. All she could do was sit at a comer with her laptop in the meeting room while she listened attentively to Jake.

The main topic for the meeting was about upcoming work projects in the next six months and put their focus in expanding their high–profile clients. The meeting lasted for an hour.

Everyone was expressing their own opinions about those topics during the meeting. However, since Anya was aware that she was still an Intern, she dared not to express her own thoughts about the meeting agendas.

All she did was take notes in silence. Everyone returned to their work after the meeting was over.

Carol, who originally intended to make things difficult for Anya could not do a thing since her supervisor suddenly came to have her work on something at the factory.

It seemed that Anya had dodged a bullet then.

When things were slowing down during the afternoon, Anya snuck back home to feed and play with her toddlers before returning to the office.

However, just as she arrived at the company, her phone rang. When Anya glanced at her phone, it turned out to be from her best friend, Cindy whom she had not seen for years.

Anya was stunned for a second as she stared at the name whom she has not reconnected for a long time, before picking up the call, “Hey. Cindy?”

71% me. Anya, I’d be returning home soon” Cindy’s excited voice could be heard coming from the phone

When Anya heard the familiar voice, waves of nostalgia washed over

her instantly

Cindy grew up with her but it seemed that she chose to study abroad after graduating high school. However, due to Anya family’s circumstances, she was unable to study abroad, thus they had no choice but to part ways with each other.

Who knew that the farewell lasted five to six years long. They actually had not seen each other for five to six years

“Of course. I came back to inherit my family’s business after all!” It seemed that compared to Anya’s shaky voice, Cindy actually sounded quite excited and happy.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She too had not seen her beloved best friend for years. They had grown up together and had initially agreed to study abroad together right after they were done with high school. They agreed to gaze at the moon by the Seine River while singing love songs together as they drank beer. They also agreed to travel across Paris together.

However, some things happened to Anya’s family and her mom was forced out from her family by a mistress. After that, she had fallen extremely ill, so Anya was unable to travel abroad with her.

It seemed that she had tried to contact Anya for all these years. Perhaps it was due to the series of unfortunate events that had happened to Anya’s family that caused her to not be as cheerful as she used to when they spoke..

However, all of that did not matter anymore because she had returned home now. As long as she was able, Cindy would no doubt help her beloved Anya.

“That’s awesome. When you come back, we’d be able to hang out all the time.” Aniya sniffled before explaining in a much serious tone, “Well, the thing is, I am no longer part of the MacMillan family anymore nor am I the daughter of the MacMillan family. You won’t abandon me, right?”

“No way, Anya! You’re my best friend for life.” Cindy assured her.

She would never be like Anya’s step–sister who schemed against her.

So, when exactly are you returning home then?” Anya asked. She still trusted Cindy with all her heart.

“Tomorrow” They discussed when they’re going to meet each other and hung up after.

Anya then strode towards the elevator. Since she had to return home to feed her toddlers, she was in quite a rush. Anya rushed back to the company just in time for work. Since she arrived just in time, she did not have to worry about having her bonus deducted.

Time went by extremely fast and the work day was over in just a flash.

Anya was rushing to pack up and get off work.

Jake noticed Anya from the huge window overseeing the office spaces. She was getting ready to leave with her bag. He immediately called her through the intercom, “Hey, Ms. MacMillan. I need you to come over to my office.”

Anya was getting ready to return home to meet her toddlers. However, after receiving his call, she could not help but to return to the design department and towards his office.

She knocked on the door

After Jake allowed her to enter, Anys took a glance at the man who was leaning against his desk and politely said, “What can I do fo

for you, Mr.

Hanson?”

“Yeah.” Jake replied with a gentle smile before adding. “I need you to come along with me to have dinner with a client later.”

Have dinner with his client?
