“I want a reason. Why?” Something flickered in Evan’s eyes. He had no idea what was going on inside


    his friend’s head.


    Anya was new at JK Couture. She had neither the experience nor the skill to get the job done.


    There was nothing personal about his judgment of the woman’s capabilities. He was simply making an


    objective


    assessment.


    “I think she’s up for the job. What’s wrong? Is that not reason enough for you? Or are you simply


    unwilling to let me have her?” Dan said teasingly


    Evan scoffed loudly. What was Dan talking about?


    Anya wasn’t his. Why wouldn’t he let Dan have her?


    “You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m just trying to help your cousin,” Evan said coolly


    “Anya’s new at her job and she’s only a junior designer serving her probationary period. Are you sure


    there aren’t any other reasons why you’re picking her as your cousin’s designer?”


    “Well, if you really want another reason….” Dan stroked his chin thoughtfully before giving Evan an


    impish grin. “She’s pretty I’d like to get to know her better.”


    Evan scoffed loudly “Sure. Do as you please.”


    “You’ll let me have her then?” Dan grinned sharply at his friend. There was an interesting quirk to his


    smile. Tile pick her up tomorrow then. You’re not allowed to change your mind or get upset”


    “I won’t,” Evan said. He wasn’t interested in talking about Anya. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up”


    “Alright, bye”


    Evan ended the call and threw his phone onto the seat. He gazed out of the window. The skies had


    darkened Frustration stirred uneasily inside him


    He ought to be impressed by Anya


    She seemed to have every man chasing after her.


    Evan scoffed softly Irritation niggled at him. Despite his iron–d control, he caved to his annoyance


    and tugged at his cor hard. The topmost button popped out of its buttonhole


    He shut his eyes and pressed his fingertips into his eyelids. Then, he sank into his seat and forced


    himself to drag his thoughts away from Anya.


    Meanwhile, on a distant street that Evan had passed earlier


    Anya hugged the drafts to her chest tightly as she walked briskly to the nearby station


    She had to make her way to the next factory.


    Fortunately, the supervisor at the next factory wasn’t a creep who wanted to put his paws on her


    because of the way she looked. He took the drafts from Anya dutifully and started work on them


    Immediately.


    That was thest factory. Anya stretched her limbs and made her way out of the factory slowly.


    The sky had turned dark.

    The young woman took a look at her watch. It was half past seven.


    That was great. It wasn’t thatte.


    She could head over to Cindy’s apartment, spend some time with her best friend, then head back home


    and spend the rest of the night with her precious angels.


    Tension eased from Anya’s body. She strode out of the factory. That was when her stomach began to


    growl loudly. She


    was starving.


    The young woman pulled her phone out and called Cindy. She had to tell her friend that she was


    heading over right now.


    Cindy picked up her call within seconds. She spoke before Anya could say anything. “Are you on your


    way now, Anya?”


    “That’s right. How did you know?” Anya said with mild surprise as she rubbed her rumbling tummy.


    “I can read your mind, that’s how!” Cindy said with augh. “I also know that you’re starving.”


    Cindy’s words gave Anya another surprise. That was why they were best friends. Cindy knew


    everything. “You’re right. I’m. so hungry right now.”


    “I’m on my way to your ce right now,” Anya added.


    take a lo


    “Stay where you are. Turn around and take a look.”


    “Turn around? Why? Anya had no idea what Cindy was talking about. Nevertheless, she did exactly as


    Cindy told her to..


    She was greeted with the sight of her best friend. The young woman whom she had not seen for years


    had a phone pressed to her cheek. She was crossing the street and heading towards her slowly.


    It had been years since she had seen her best friend. The adorable little girl whom she remembered


    had grown into a pretty


    young woman.


    Anya felt a sudden wetness in her eyes. She threw her arms around Cindy as soon as Cindy walked up


    to her. “Cindy, how did you manage to find me?”


    “I called your office. They told me where you were.” Cindy wrapped her arms around Anya in a tight


    embrace.


    It had been years since they hadst met.


    Cindy remembered how beautiful Any used to be. She had grown more beautiful.
