Desires Die Hard

“I didn’t specifically say that it was you that had caused this debacle to Anya.” Jake explained in a calm tone as he then added, “I will look into everyone that has entered that fashion design workshop and has come into contact with the owner.”

“I don’t mind if you were to investigate me. I didn’t do such a thing.” As Carol stared at the man, her emotions grew overwhelming for her since he was someone she had a crush on.

He was an excellent, hardworking and very capable man. She watched him climb his way up to become the director that he was then. However, all of her dreams were completely shattered after Anya showed up. That was because Jake had feelings for Anya.

This made Carol extremely furious but she was unable to show her emotions. She maintained her calm look and said, “Say, Mr. Hanson, don’t you think you’re siding with Anya a little too much now?”

“How is this siding with her too much?” Jake asked as he was confused. He then said, “Her incident involves our JK Group’s reputation. Shouldn’t I investigate this matter thoroughly though?”

“What if the person involved in this incident wasn’t her and it’s a different designer?” Carol stared at him before continuing, “Would you still help out?”

“I will. I will do the same for everyone.” Jake replied in a very sincere and forgiving tone.

He would never not care about anything that involved JK Group.

“But you won’t be as involved as how you are towards her.” Carol replied as she refused to believe that he would be this involved if the designer involved in this incident turned out to be someone else. He would no doubt task someone else in

the investigation. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He had no reason to get involved himself.

“Carol!” Jake raised his voice as he had no idea why she was so obsessed with this matter. He then told her in a stern tone, “I am now talking about you visiting the fashion design workshop not Anya!”

Should he have not cared about the truth though?

“I know. I told you I’ve never done such a thing… You can investigate all you want.” Carol replied as her heart grew colder after looking at how stern he seemed. She knew that the man would never have feelings for her.

That was because his heart was only focused on Anya.

Her heart felt heavy when she thought about that.

She had strong feelings for him for so many years. However, this meant nothing to him after Anya only showed up for a couple of months.

She found her situation too comical.

Carol gently clenched her fists as she was not afraid of exposing him since he would never have feelings for her anyway.

She said, “But I do hope that you’d not involve your personal feelings in this. Everyone in the company knows how you treat

Anya!”

“Carol, you..” Jake exclaimed as he did not expect her to only care about that and not even think about how to deal with the company’s current predicament. He was instantly speechless as he said, “You can head on out now. I will continue with my investigation, I hope you’re not the culprit behind this incident.”

“What if it really y was me?” Carol replied as she stared intensely at him with a resentful and disappointed gaze.

“Then, I’m really sorry, I can’t continue to employ you any longer. Also, Mr. Welton has already hired a legal team for this. Legal action might be taken in the end.” Jake explained in a clear voice.

Carol felt as if her heart was already stating to bleed.

‘Legal action?’

She would never allow them to find out that it was her.

She wanted to ruin JK Group! She wanted JK Group to disappear from the design industry forever!

She also wanted the man to know that… there would be a price for having feelings for that wench, Anya!

“That’s fine, Mr. Hanson. You can carry on with the investigation. I’m innocent.” Carol replied as she got up from her chair.

She left the office immediately after she was done saying that without waiting for Jake’s reply.

As Jake stared at her back, he furrowed his brows instantly.
