Anya’s bus ride didn’t take long. Jake was seated in his office when she stepped into the office.


    The young woman threw a nce at Jake’s office as she made her way to her desk. When it appeared


    that her managing. director wasn’t going to step out of his office and approach her, Anya’s heart fell


    back into her chest.


    Honestly, she should be more careful.


    She should keep her distance from the man. She didn’t want every designer in JK Couture to hate her


    guts.


    It had taken her a great deal of effort to get rid of Jake. She wasn’t expecting trouble from Shane as


    well.


    Anya would really like these men to leave her alone.


    What made things worse was Shane’s inclination towards grand gestures. He was interested in Anya


    too. That was why he had sent two of his personal assistants to JK Couture that morning.


    One of them turned up with an enormous bouquet of red roses. All 999 stalks of them. The other


    personal assistant presented Anya with a limited–edition Chanel bag.


    Shane had shown himself to be extremely generous even though Anya had not shown any interest in


    him at all. It was a grand gesture that only Shane was capable of.


    Anya wasn’t interested in his gifts at all. She stared in rm as Shane’s assistants ced the


    enormous bouquet of roses on Anya’s desk. They nearly towered over her. When Anya told the young


    men to take the roses away, they wouldn’t. Their boss had told them to deliver the roses to Anya, after


    all.


    One of the assistants ced the limited–edition Chanel bag on Anya’s desk carefully. “Ms. MacMin,


    this is a small gift from Mr. Brown. Please ept it.”


    “I’m fine with it. Thanks. Please let Mr. Brown know that I appreciate the gesture but I can’t ept his


    gifts.” Anya waved her hands wildly at the young man and shoved the Chanel bag into his hands. The


    young man wouldn’t take it. He simply


    stood there.


    Without any hesitation, Anya ced the Chanel bag next to the young man’s feet. “Please take this


    back to Mr. Brown. I won’t ept it.”


    As soon as Anya had said that, a loud voice came drifting in from outside the office. “Are Chanel bags


    not to your liking, Ms. MacMin? I could get you Hermes instead.”


    Anya found herself momentarily speechless when she heard that.


    Chanel? Hermes? She didn’t want any Chanel or Hermes bags.


    She couldn’t tell Shane that straight to his face though. She didn’t want to incur his wrath. The young


    woman decided to exercise some tact. “Thank you for the kind gesture, Mr. Brown. But the gifts are


    simply too expensive. I can’t ept them.”


    “Expensive? Hardly! A beautiful woman like you deserves the best, Ms. MacMin!” Shane said as he


    made his way slowly


    towards Anya..


    His soft voice drew the attention of every female designer in the vicinity. Jealousy bubbled inside them.


    Carol felt strangely vindicated. She knew Anya was a slut. She had charmed both Jake and Shane.


    She was really something.


    How did she manage to get such great men to fall at her feet?


    The other female designers looked green with envy. They couldn’t stop looking away from the limited–


    edition Chanel bag. A great many young women would kill to have that bag.


    It was a limited–edition bag! Money wouldn’t be able to get you the bag.


    Shane had given it away just like that. They couldn’t believe how generous Shane was.


    Anya was really something.


    “Mr. Brown, thank you but I really can’t ept the gift.” Anya could feel the eyes on her. Her colleagues


    were burning with envy. She knew she had just incurred the wrath of her colleagues. She couldn’t help


    but feel a sudden tightness in her


    chest.


    “Don’t be a stranger, Ms. MacMin,” Shane said as he stroked his chin and eyed her appreciatively.


    “Let’s have lunch togetherter.”


    “I can’t,” Anya shot back and turned Shane down tly without a moment’s hesitation. She added


    immediately. “I have to meet a client right now, Mr. Brown. Please excuse me.”


    The young woman pivoted on her heel and marched out of the office.


    Shane didn’t seem upset by Anya’s sudden departure. In fact, he appeared delighted. His mind was


    made up. He was going to have Anya:


    Anya decided to find herself a discreet corner outside the office and hide herself. She would return to


    the office after Shane left. As she approached the elevator, the doors to the elevator slid open.

    Evan’s personal assistant, Hayden, walked out of the elevator. His eyes fell on Anya. “Ms. MacMin,


    Mr. Welton would like you in his office right now.”


    Anya widened her eyes.


    What was the special asion today?


    She seemed to be drawing a lot of attention today.
