“I’ll pay for the tea. You can take down my details.” Anya wanted to get out of there as soon as


    possible. She didn’t want Evan to spot her and think she was here for him.


    She turned around and headed to the counter to have her details taken down.


    Shane wasn’t done talking to her yet though. He hadpletely forgotten about Evan. He reached out


    and grabbed Anya’s arm. “Ms. MacMin, why don’t you let me have your contact details too?”


    There was no way Anya was giving this man her number.


    She shoved his hand off her arm and scurried off like a terrified rabbit who had just spotted a hungry


    wolf.


    Shane didn’t go after her. Instead, he simply narrowed his eyes and stared hungrily at the young


    woman as she made her way to the counter.


    He had caught a faint scent of milk when he had grabbed her arm. That had smelled faintly like…breast


    milk.


    Shane had some kinks when it came to sex. He enjoyed sleeping with married women and he


    especially loved sleeping with women who had just given birth and were breastfeeding. ‘


    They smelled naturally sweet. Like milk. That was what Anya had smelled like.


    But he recalled that Anya wasn’t married. She couldn’t possibly have had kids and was breastfeeding,


    could she?


    Shane lost himself in his thoughts again. Evan was losing his patience for the man. His eyes darkened


    with anger. He scoffed softly, then walked up to Shane. “Mr. Brown, it appears that you are otherwise


    upied. I’ll leave you to your business then. We can have tea another time.”


    The next moment, Evan was turning around and striding out of the café. Without looking back, he


    headed straight for the entrance.


    That was when Shane realized that he had been distracted once again by yet another beautiful woman.


    He hurried after Evan and apologized profusely. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Welton. I ran into a friend and


    spent a few minutes catching up with her. I hope you don’t mind.”


    Shane wasn’t afraid of Evan. But he couldn’t deny the fact that the Weltons currently held the most


    influence among the Nordenic Quartet.


    It didn’t matter what he felt, he simply had to swallow his pride and y along. If he wanted to achieve


    his ambitions, he needed to stay humble.


    One day, he would take over Evan’s position on the throne. He would reign over the Nordenic Quartet


    then. There wasn’t anything wrong in swallowing his pride for the moment in order to achieve his goals.


    Evan didn’t care for conniving nouveau riche folks like Shane. But heckedplete dominance over


    all the businesses in Nordeny. He couldn’t afford to drop his guard against anyone. That included the


    young man before him. Shane Brown, the man who had risen to wealth recently. The man whom he


    held little regard for.


    “Mr. Brown, let’s have tea another time.” Evan walked away with his chin slightly raised. He isn’t


    interested in wasting any more time talking to Shane.


    But Shane really wanted the piece ofnd that the Weltons had. He trailed after Evan stubbornly. “Mr.


    Welton, why don’t we have dinner instead? Is tonight good?”


    Evan had lost his patience with the man. He threw a look at Hayden.


    Hayden knew what to do. He slid between Evan and Shane and stopped thetter right in his tracks.


    Hayden politely exined to Shane, “Mr. Brown, Mr. Welton will inform you when he is avable for


    another meeting.”


    “He came all this way. Why not stay for a cup of tea?” Shane knew he wasn’t going to catch up to Evan


    with Hayden in his way. They were in public. He couldn’t start throwing punches at a mere personal


    assistant in public.


    His face darkened. “Or does Mr. Welton think himself above mypany?”


    Hayden gave Shane a polite smile. “Of course not! Mr. Welton wouldn’t have appeared in the first ce


    if he thought so. Something that requires his attention came up. Please let me apologize on his behalf.”


    Shane snorted. A streak of anger shed across his eyes. That was an utter lie.


    Evan was simply jerking him around. He had epted his invitation but had left before they could have


    a proper conversation. He really is something. Shane wasn’t going to let this go anytime soon.


    Meanwhile, Anya had left her ID at the counter. She dared not spend another second in this café. She


    clutched her bag tightly and headed back to the office.


    What an unlucky day.


    She had to pay a hundred bucks over a spilled tea before she had gotten her first paycheck. A hundred


    bucks. She could have bought so many toys for her darlings with that. Anya was furious.

    She realized that her luck has gotten worse ever since she had met Evan. She really had to keep her


    distance from the man. She didn’t want to be this unlucky forever.
