Desires Die Hard

The cocktail party was held at a high–end private estate.

Although Anya did not have a decent dress to wear to the party, she simply wanted to dress as casually as possible. However, Cindy refused to let her get away with it. She wanted Anya to attend the party looking her best, so she retrieved a light pink dress with pearls and glitter on it and gave it to her.

The dress was the latest couture from Auspear and worth $120 000.

Cindy had only worn it once since it did not suit her. When Cindy gave it to Anya, she realized Anya was capable of pulling off any outfit because she was as pretty as a goddess. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Even though this dress was hard to pull off, Anya looked ethereal wearing the dress. After Anya put on some makeup, Cindy could not help sighing in envy of her good looks.

Anya was simply a goddess.

Anya felt she was overdressed wearing this outfit. She no longer ran in high society, so she felt embarrassed about wearing such a beautiful and extravagant dress. She basically spent the entire time standing beside Cindy like a decoration at the private estate cocktail party.

Since she was gorgeous, she caught attention everywhere she went. Also, some people in the crowd recognized her and quickly started gossiping about her one after another.

“Isn’t that Anya from the MacMillan family? Wasn’t she driven out of her family? How could she have the cheek to attend this party?”

“Uh huh. She is even wearing the latest designer fashion from Auspear. How could she afford the outfit?”

“Didn’t she show up with Cindy? Her rich friend is certainly generous.”

“Doesn’t she have a bad reputation? I heard she was driven out of the MacMillan family for sleeping around with some random dude. Did she come to this party to find herself a rich boyfriend?”

“There is a high chance she is here to do just that. She is so disgusting. Even though she was indecent, she had the cheek to show up here to land herself a rich boyfriend.”

“We should tell Mdm Reyes to drive her away. She doesn’t belong at this party, so her presence tarnishes the event.”

“I will go tell Mdm Reyes about this.” One of the ladies bravely volunteered to tell Mdm Reyes that Anya was here.

Everyone kept gossiping about her in contempt.

Anya could hear them talking about her, but she was not a part of their circles, so she did not care about the gossip. After leaving the cocktail party, everything would go back to normal and they would never cross paths again.

She did not care about what they said,

“Anya, do you want some dessert?” asked Cindy as she walked up to Anya with some dessert from the dining table. Cindy found this party boring. She hated talking to cocky high society ladies, so she did not plan to stay for long.

Anya shook her head. “No thanks. Oh yes. Where is the bathroom? I want to wash my hands.” She was so anxious about coming in here that her hands got sweaty and felt a little sticky.

“I know where it is. It’s inside. Let me show you the way.” Cindy put down the dessert and wanted to take Anya to the bathroom when someone happened to come over and chat with Cindy.

Anya quickly said, “I can find the bathroom on my own. Why don’t you stay and talk to your friend?”

Cindy acknowledged Anya in agreement. She told Anya where the toilet was before she continued chatting with her friend.

Shortly after Anya went to the bathroom, Evan showed up. The moment he arrived at the party, Rain and Sydney got to the party one after another.

Evan was here to catch Anya, so he did not stop to listen to the flattery and went right in to look for her.

Anya was standing inside the extravagant bathroom in front of the washbasin embellished with crystals. She took a piece of tissue and wiped her hands before heading out.

The bathroom door suddenly opened. Anya simply thought someone wanted to use it.

She went stiff when she turned to see Evan standing there. Also, the man looked furious.

Anya glanced at him in surprise before she instantly composed herself. She promptly threw away the napkin and headed

out of the bathroom.

Since Evan was here to catch her, there was no escape for her.

The moment she walked out, Evan pulled her into his powerful arms before he pressed her against the bathroom door hard. He leaned towards her as he spoke in an angry glacial tone, “Anya MacMillan, how dare you run away from me?”
