“This is nothing, Mr. Welton. I identally spilled some water on myself earlier on.” Anya did not want


    toplicate matters. She did not like staying in Evan’s office as she felt pressurized and nervous.


    “So, I understand that you were looking for me, Mr. Welton?”


    “Yes, I’m bringing you for lunchter.” Evan was direct with his words even though his assistant was


    around.


    Anya felt ufortable about his openness. She said in an awkward tone, “but we still have some time


    before the lunch appointment?”


    It was about 10:30am when she was in the pantry earlier. Their appointment was at 11:30am, which left


    them close to an


    hour to spare.


    “It is about right. For some restaurants, we need to be there earlier.” Evan then signaled to his assistant


    and said, “Please buy a dress for Ms. MacMin. You can refer to the measurements I mentioned


    before.”


    Hayden nodded and scrambled off to his task.


    Anya looked flushed. How did Evan know about her measurements? She did not remember telling


    Evan at all. But she knew better than to ask and open a can of worms. “Thank you, Mr. Welton. The


    blouse will dry in no time. There is no need to buy a new dress,”


    “Just how soon do you think your blouse will take to drypletely?” Evan said in a warm tone, but his


    eyes looked intensely into hers.


    Anya was dumbfounded and she quickly looked away. “It will probably be dry in 30 minutes.”


    Evan anticipated that Anya would decline his offer. This woman had always been so stubborn, but he


    did not mind at all. He put his pen down and stood up.

    He strode over with his long legs as he moved towards Anya. With amanding voice, he asked,


    “Want a drink?”


    “I am good, Mr. Welton.” Anya leaned back a little as she was notfortable with Evan being too


    close to her. She did not want to take a chance in case he decided to force a kiss on her again. Anya


    slowly inched away to avoid the scenario and continued, “Mr. Welton, since we are not leaving yet, I’ll


    go back to JK first.”


    Evan looked deeply into her eyes again and said unhurriedly. “Are you sure you’re okay wearing that


    drenched blouse to the restaurant? Don’t you think that your blouse is a little see–through now?”


    Anya blushed as she looked down on her top, but didn’t know what to reply Evan. Indeed, her top


    became translucent when in contact with water, but it was not as bad as how he made it sound like.


    The things Evan thought about and how his mind was wired. Evan had been trying ways to woo her.


    She expected it but Evan really had no filter on when he spoke at times.


    She had nned ahead. After she exined the incident to Evan, she would make her way back to JK.


    Anya just had to tolerate him a little longer. She bit her lips, “Mr. Welton, please give me some respect,


    would you?”


    Respect again. Evan wanted tough. A man could do anything to get the woman he wanted. He was


    no different, except he had his limits. He could resort to any tricks up his sleeve but he would not


    unless circumstances call for it.


    At this point, if he was not interested at all, he would not even bother himself with her. Needless to say,


    even take a nce at her. But the more Anya rejected his advancements, the more he wanted her.


    Evan looked at her and was about to say something but his phone rang.


    The caller was Dan. Evan turned to Anya. “Have a seat on the couch.” With that, he walked towards


    the window wall to


    answer the call.


    Anya heaved a sigh of relief and proceeded to the couch.
