Chapter 206

Dan called regarding the news reported this morning on Lola Mars and Anya. He was concerned as he was the one who pulled the strings between Anya and Evan.

“You have settled the Incident this morning?” Dan sat in his office, his fingers gently drumming on the table as he spoke.

“Not exactly. I have sent speople to investigate on the matter.” Evan took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the side table and put it in his mouth. He lit the cigarette and took a puff. He said unhurriedly, “This is not a big issue. You don’t have to be concerned about it.”

“Letknow if you need help.” Dan felt he had sresponsibility as he was the one who recommended Anya to Evan. But in the end, this happened. If it was not handled properly, JK could easily go out of business. It was not a small matter so Dan had to reach out to ask.

“Do you

feel that I can’t even handle a minor matter like this and still need your help? Surely, I can do better than that, don’t you think?” Evan laughed and did not seem too bothered by it. “Don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

“Okay.” Of course, he knew his good friend could make things work but they were good friends, so he wanted to help if he could.

“If there isn’t anything else, I’ll hang up yah?” Evan took another puff on the cigarette.

“Okay, bye.”

After the call ended, Evan walked over to the side table and tapped the cigarette in his hand on the side of the ash tray. He looked over at Anya who was seated quietly on the couch. This woman could

behave like an obedient kitten when she was quiet. But of course, she could also turn into a ferocious cat when she was rebellious.

Evan looked away leisurely. Hayden knocked on the door and cin with a paper bag. He had called the nearest high–end boutique and asked them to deliver a dress over within 5 minutes. The high–end boutique indeed had the most efficient customer service and delivered within the stipulated time.

Hayden brought the dress in once it was delivered. It was an elegant one–piece with ruffled hem. “Mr. Welton, Ms. MacMillan’s dress is here.” Hayden extended the black paper bag to Evan. Evan took a quick glance and said, “Give it to Ms.

MacMillan.”

Hayden nodded and turned to Anya who was still seated on the couch.

Anya did not want to accept the gift. The things Evan gifted were not cheap and they costed at least a few thousands. Even when Anya was still in the MacMillan family, she had never bought dresses from luxury brands. Not to mention this brand that Hayden ordered from, their in–season dresses could easily be twelve thousand dollars. It probably didn’t mean much for Evan, but that was a lot of money to Anya.

Anya did not take the bag from Hayden since she had no intention to accept it. Instead, she rejected politely. “Mr. Welton, my blouse will be dry soon. Thanks for your thoughts.”

Evan knew Anya would reject but he wanted her to accept it no matter what. He exhaled ssmoke from the cigarette and replied, “Ms. MacMillan, are you really going to wear a wet blouse to lunch with me and trash Welton Group’s

“Don’t forget, Ms. Lola Mars will be there too. And we are leaving in a few minutes. Are you sure your blouse will be completely dry within minutes?”

Anya pressed her lips together and remained silent. Her blouse would not be completely dry any time soon. What more, they were leaving already.

Anya was caught in a dilemma. Evan added on, “Ms. MacMillan, please don’t waste any more time.”

“Are you planning to let Ms. Mars wait for you or you just wantto continue waiting?”

Anya could not reject any further. She stood up and took the bag from Hayden. “Well then, I’ll return the dress to you tomorrow, Mr. Welton.”

As she was about to walk out of his office and change at the public restroom along the corridor, Evan stopped her. “You don’t have to go to the washroom outside. You can change in my room inside.”

Anya was startled as she stopped in her tracks. She then realized that there was another small room in his office.
