Desires Die Hard

Anya agreed to have dinner with the designers, so Jake quickly made reservations.

Anya continued packing her stuff for the move. She worked hard all morning before she finally packed most of the stuff. Only a few loose objects needed to be taken care of.

Nathaniel and Eudora went into a daze when they saw all the bags and luggage lying around in the house.

They had no idea what was going on.

Nathaniel asked curiously, “Mama, what’s going on?”

“Nothing, my love. We are just moving. The new place is absolutely beautiful.” Anya touched his head as she said, “Nate and Dora, I promise you will love it.”

Nathaniel blinked his big, beautiful eyes in surprise. “Mama, are we moving?”

“Yes, Nate. We have a new place. We are moving to a new place and it is huge,” said Anya. Eudora pulled Anya’s arm as well and looked at Anya quizzically as she said sweetly, “Mama..

Anya instantly hugged her daughter. “Dora, we will have a huge swimming pool at our new place. One day, I will teach you two how to swim, okay?”

Eudora was unfamiliar with the term swimming pool, so she had no reaction. Since her mother said their new place was fantastic, she must be right.

She had to check out the swimming pool her mother was talking about at their new place.

Eudora nodded her tiny little head adorably. Anya touched her head lovingly before carrying her to the living room for some food.

After packing a little bit more, she finally took a break before she washed up and changed for work.

Jake came over shortly after Anya sat down at her desk. He had some dessert in his hands.

“Anya, why don’t you try this? I happened to walk past a new bakery on the way here and got you some. It looks delicious. I am sure women love eating dessert soufflé, right?” Jake placed the dessert in front of Anya gently.

He could hardly suppress the urge to look at her lovingly.

Anya failed to detect the love in his eyes. Instead, she felt he seemed embarrassed and uneasy. “Mr. Hanson, I don’t like

dessert.”

In reality, she had nothing against sweet food and simply did not want to accept his offer.

She knew Jake liked her. Since she was unable to accept his love, she turned down the soufflé.

“Oh, I didn’t know you didn’t like dessert.” Jake honestly thought all women liked dessert.

“I don’t like sweet things.” Anya replied with a sheepish smile as she turned down the cake.

“Don’t worry about it. I will eat it.” Jake did not realize she was turning down the soufflé because she did not like him. Instead, he simply assumed she did not like dessert and took the cake before leaving her desk. Just as he was about to head back to his office, he suddenly thought about their dinner plans and reminded her, “Anya, don’t forget about dinner tonight.”

“Got it.”

“Okay. I will leave you to your work.” Jake nodded before taking the dessert soufflé back to his office.

He was planning to send her home tonight and confess his love to her after dinner. He did not want to continue waiting for the perfect time and wanted to do it immediately.

Anya watched as he went back to his office before she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She rubbed her wrist and got cracking with work.

Her main task today was Mdm. Welton’s coat. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Anya leaned over the drafting table as she sketched the coat. Before long, her phone vibrated on the table. Evan had sent her a text: [Shall we have dinner tonight?]

Anya glanced at the text message before she refused him without hesitance: [Mr. Welton, I have a date tonight.]

Evan asked: [Is it Jamie Granger?]

Anya went quiet.

Evan certainly had a good memory so he could even remember someone like Jamie.

[Yes, I’m dating Jamie. If you know better, you should stay out of my way.]

Evan pursed his lips as she looked at her reply. Was she blatantly provoking him?

However, he did not reply to her message.

Instead, he narrowed his eyes as he contemplated.

It appeared he had to see Jamie tonight.
