Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 

“This is nothing, Mr. Welton. I accidentally spilled some water on myself earlier on.” Anya did not want to complicate matters. She did not like staying in Evan’s office as she felt pressurized and nervous. “So, I understand that you were looking for me, Mr. Welton?” 

“Yes, I’m bringing you for lunch later.” Evan was direct with his words even though his assistant was around. 

Anya felt uncomfortable about his openness. She said in an awkward tone, “but we still have some time before the lunch appointment?” 

It was about 10:30am when she was in the pantry earlier. Their appointment was at 11:30am, which left them close to an 

hour to spare. 

“It is about right. For some restaurants, we need to be there earlier.” Evan then signaled to his assistant and said, “Please buy a dress for Ms. MacMillan. You can refer to the measurements I mentioned before.” 

Hayden nodded and scrambled off to his task. 

Anya looked flushed. How did Evan know about her measurements? She did not remember telling Evan at all. But she knew better than to ask and open a can of worms. “Thank you, Mr. Welton. The blouse will dry in no time. There is no need to buy a new dress,” 

“Just how soon do you think your blouse will take to dry completely?” Evan said in a warm tone, but his eyes looked intensely into hers. 

Anya was dumbfounded and she quickly looked away. “It will probably be dry in 30 minutes.” 

Evan anticipated that Anya would decline his offer. This woman had always been so stubborn, but he did not mind at all. He put his pen down and stood up. 

He strode over with his long legs as he moved towards Anya. With a commanding voice, he asked, “Want a drink?” 

“I am good, Mr. Welton.” Anya leaned back a little as she was not comfortable with Evan being too close to her. She did not want to take a chance in case he decided to force a kiss on her again. Anya slowly inched away to avoid the scenario and continued, “Mr. Welton, since we are not leaving yet, I’ll go back to JK first.” 

Evan looked deeply into her eyes again and said unhurriedly. “Are you sure you’re okay wearing that drenched blouse to the restaurant? Don’t you think that your blouse is a little see–through now?” 

Anya blushed as she looked down on her top, but didn’t know what to reply Evan. Indeed, her top became translucent when in contact with water, but it was not as bad as how he made it sound like. 

The things Evan thought about and how his mind was wired. Evan had been trying ways to woo her. She expected it but Evan really had no filter on when he spoke at times. 

She had planned ahead. After she explained the incident to Evan, she would make her way back to JK. Anya just had to tolerate him a little longer. She bit her lips, “Mr. Welton, please give me some respect, would you?”

Respect again. Evan wanted to laugh. A man could do anything to get the woman he wanted. He was no different, except he had his limits. He could resort to any tricks up his sleeve but he would not unless circumstances call for it.
