Desires Die Hard

It was already evening by the time Anya walked out of the company building.

Anya had just gotten into a confrontation with Sydney. After composing herself, she inhaled deeply and had it to the subway station.

The address Jake had given her was for a rather renowned posh residential district called Carroll Gardens.

to afford it.

It was located at the city center. The houses must have cost a million per square foot, so only the most elite people were able to a

Judging from her residence, Jake had given her a very important client. Since it was an important client, Anya felt she had to be exceptionally professional about it.

If she botched her job, Jake would have to answer for it.

She took the subway to the nearest stop and arrived 30 minutes later. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Shortly after Anya got off the subway, Jake called, “Anya, did you have trouble getting there?”

This time, Jake had unknowingly started to talk to her more casually.

“I just got here,” said Anya as she looked for the address.

“She is the most important VIP client we have, so I used to handle her personally.” Although Jake had been handling this old lady’s account all this time, he had no idea she was Evan’s grandmother.

Jake said patiently, “Don’t worry. She is a really nice lady. She wants to custom made hat for the fall, so you ought to be able to handle it.”

Jake would not have given her the assignment if the client had asked for

for garments.

After all, Anya was still an intern

However, it was far easier to custom make a hat.

Since Anya had great technical skills, she could handle this perfectly.

“Uh huh, I will be sure to do a good job, Mr. Hanson.” Anya nodded her head.

Jake continued to remind her, “After you are done,

he, call me if you have trouble getting home. I will come by to pick you up.

“I think I can handle it.” Anya did not want to trouble Jake.

Mainly, she wanted to keep a safe distance from him so that the people in the office would not gossip about her.

“It’s no trouble. I need to make sure you are safe. Even though Jake knew she would turn him down, he was not anxious about it.

He would keep an eye on the time and go over to pick her up when she was about done.

In any case, he had already made up his mind to court her.

“Thank you.” Anya did not want him to pick her up,

so she quickly hung up the phone. “14’m here. I have to go”

“See you”

After Anya hung up the phone, she quickly headed over to her client’s place.

Anya told the guard who she was when she finally arrived at the estate entrance.

The security guard called the old lady to verify if Anya was truly her guest before letting her in.

The moment she was permitted entry, Anya walked in and searched for the client’s unit number.

Anya heaved a sigh of relief, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door when she finally found the right unit.

opened before long. The butler scrutinized Anys as he asked, “Are you the designer from JK Couture?”

“Yes, that’s me. Lam Anya MacMillan.” Anya nodded in agreement.

The butler acknowledged her before gesturing for her to enter. “Miss MacMillan, this way, please.”

Anya nodded obediently before following behind the butler.

The moment Anya entered, she caught sight of the interior design with an antique flair to it.

She assumed luxury homes like this would be modernized and extravagant. However, this villa ended up down to earth and classic. It went to show that the owner of the house had classic tastes:

Anya scrutinized the interior of the villa as Evan’s black Bentley went straight towards Carroll Gardens.

For once, he did not have to entertain clients tonight, so he made time to visit his grandmother.
