Dan called regarding the news reported this morning on L 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 some people 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.”
“Let me know if you need help.” Dan felt he had some responsibility as he was the one who
rmended 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?” Evanughed 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 came in 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 stipted time.

Hayden brought the dress in once it was delivered. It was an elegant one–piece with ruffled hem. “Mr.
Welton, Ms. MacMin’s dress is here.” Hayden extended the ck paper bag to Evan. Evan took a
quick nce and said, “Give it to Ms.
MacMin.”
Hayden nodded and turned to Anya who was still seated on the couch.
Anya did not want to ept the gift. The things Evan gifted were not cheap and they costed at least a
few thousands. Even when Anya was still in the MacMin 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 dors. 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 ept 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 ept it no matter what. He exhaled some smoke
from the cigarette and replied, “Ms. MacMin, are you really going to wear a wet blouse to lunch with
me and trash Welton Group’s
professional image as well?
“Don’t forget, Ms. L Mars will be there too. And we are leaving in a few minutes. Are you sure your
blouse will bepletely dry within minutes?”
Anya pressed her lips together and remained silent. Her blouse would not bepletely dry any time
soon. What more, they were leaving already.
Anya was caught in a dilemma. Evan added on, “Ms. MacMin, please don’t waste any more time.”
“Are you nning to let Ms. Mars wait for you or you just want me to 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.
