Desires Die Hard

In the evening when it was time to knock off, Jake checked his watch and decided it was about time for dinner when he was done with his work.

He walked out of his office and headed over to the design department before he clapped his hands and said, “Why don’t you all pack up? I am buying dinner tonight.”

“Yay! Mr. Hanson, you look exceptionally handsome today!” The moment the designers heard he was buying them dinner, everyone stood up one after another and flattered him happily.

“Mr. Hanson, where are we going tonight?” asked a sweet young female designer.

“Shall we go for karaoke after dinner?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“Let’s go party instead!”

“So are we going to the karaoke or club?”

“Let’s do dinner first. We can draw lots and decide after dinner!” suggested someone.

“Sounds good.” Everyone felt this was a good idea and quickly agreed.

Anya did not mind doing karaoke or going to the club as long as she did not have to go home late. She had a pair of twins waiting for her at home.

“In that case, let’s pack up and go.” Jake left it to them. He did not mind going to the karaoke or club. They could go wherever they preferred.

The most important thing tonight was confessing his love to Anya. That was the main event happening tonight.

“Perfect. Let’s go!” Everyone wrapped up work and packed up happily.

Carol and Tammy were not interested in going out tonight, but it was inappropriate for senior employees like them to bail on the gathering since the managing director was buying them dinner. Despite their reluctance, they put away their displeasure and pretended to head out enthusiastically.

Tammy sat in Carols car. As they drove to the restaurant, they stopped the pretense since they were both thinking about leaving JK Couture. “Tammy, are you taking up my suggestion to join EU Designs?”

“I am still considering my options.” Tammy had nothing against going to EU Designs. However, she would be completely new to the company, so she was unaware if she would enjoy the same benefits as she did in JK Couture as a veteran designer.

After all, the designers working for EU Designs were breakthrough talent. She was nothing compared to them, so she was apprehensive about leaving JK Couture.

“What is there to consider?” Carol held the steering wheel as she looked ahead sternly and said, “Haven’t you heard about Mr. Hanson wanting to take an intern like Anya to Paris for the design convention?”

“Don’t you find it annoying? Despite your credentials, he refused to take you there and insisted on taking a fresh graduate.” Every word Carol uttered struck Tammy deeply and hurt her pride. “Isn’t it

blatantly clear that he is not interested in grooming veteran designers like us? He only cares about the newbies.”

Tammy sneered, “Is this considered grooming new talent? I think Anya must have seduced him.” The moment Tanimy finished her sentence, she sent something amiss. After all, Carol had a crush on Jake.

Tammy smiled apologetically to Carol. “My bad. The moment I talk about her, I tend to get a little blunt. Don’t mind me.”

Carol remained composed and said calmly, “Don’t worry about it. I stopped liking him a long time ago.”

“Really?” Tammy sounded disbelieving.

Carol had a secret crush on Jake for years.

Tammy did not want to get involved since it was none of her business, so she changed the subject. “Give me a few more days to think about joining EU Designs, okay?”

“Fine. I will give you more time to think about it. Don’t take forever. The offer won’t be waiting for you forever.” Carol naturally knew Tammy’s concerns.

Tammy was simply concerned that she would not be able to get a good position at EU Designs.

Tammy had nothing to fear with her around. She would take good care of Tammy!

“Got it,” sighed Tammy as she looked out the car window.
