Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 

Anya froze when she heard what Evan had said. Did he just tell her to stick around? 

What was going on? 

She couldn’t possibly ask him that question though. 

있다. 

She simply had to keep her questions to herself, step aside and find out for herself. 

Anya found herself a place next to a potted plant. Evan’s eyes flickered towards her slender form. A strange look flashed across his eyes. He had no idea why he didn’t like the idea of some other man getting their slimy paws on the woman. 

It was utterly confounding. 

He couldn’t stop his attention from wandering towards the 

She had set him up. 

This was ridiculous. 

He must be possessed by the devil. 

woman whenever she was around. 

“My deepest apologies, Mr. Welton. I didn’t know what Billy was doing with your staff. I promise this won’t happen again,” Jamerson apologized immediately. “Please don’t get upset.” 

He had seen the way Evan had spoken to the young woman. He spoke to her as if he knew her. 

They were clearly no strangers to the other. 

Even if they weren’t friends, the young woman was still an employee of Welton Group. 

It wouldn’t bode well for them if they offended her in any way. Billy was such an idiot. 

Would he have continued to flirt with the young woman if they hadn’t arrived in time to stop him? 

Jamerson felt his hand itching at that thought. He would really like to give Billy a good hard slap on his face. 

Evan planned to pay them a good price for their factory. If the sale fell through because of what Billy had done, Jamerson swore that he would make the idiot pay! 

“What happened?” Evan ignored Jamerson’s apology and turned his eyes towards Billy. There was an edge of steel to his 

voice. 

Billy was terrified. He had no idea that his innocent attempts at hooking up with a designer from JK Couture would incur the wrath of the CEO of Welton Group. 

How was he going to talk himself out of this mess?

Chapter 72 

“Nothing…” Billy stuttered nervously as he scrambled for an explanation. “I was discussing work with Ms. Macman 

“Is that so?” The note of disbelief in Evan’s voice was as stark as day. He turned towards Anya and asked the young woman, who was standing quietly in a corner. “Is he speaking the truth, Ms. MacMillan?” 

“In the future, it’d be great if Mr. White could refrain from calling me into his office when we’re alone,” Anya said. She didn’t want to get anyone in trouble. All she wanted to do was get out of this place as soon as possible. She had other factories to go and deliveries to make. 

“Have you been harassing my female employee, Mr. White?” Evan asked. Billy felt his legs turn into jelly when he heard that. He nearly fell to his knees out of sheer terror. 

“Please apologize to Ms. MacMillan,” Evan said with a hint of steel to his voice. 

Anya stared slightly. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared at Evan. 

Was he speaking up for her? 

That seemed impossible. 

He hated her, didn’t he? 

Anya felt as if she were dreaming. 

There was no way Billy was going to defy what was clearly an order from Evan. He nearly tripped as he hurried towards Anya. Apologies fell from his lips profusely. “I’m so sorry, Ms. MacMillan. I’m so terribly sorry. This will not happen again. I’ll never call you into my office when we’re alone again.” 

“Please accept my apology, Ms. MacMillan.” The man was shaking with terror. 

He had allowed lust to override his reason for a moment. He hadn’t meant any harm. He had only wanted to tease the 

young woman. 

Billy ha 

hadn’t expected to draw the wrath of so many people. He honestly regretted his actions. 

“Please make sure this never happens again. I’ll be expecting the new designs to be ready by next Monday, Mr. White,” Anya said coolly 

Billy nodded his head profusely. 

“Mr. Welton, apologies have been made. Let’s continue the tour of the factory, shall we?” Jamerson asked with a note of uncertainty in his voice. He didn’t want the incident to affect the sale of the factory.
