Desires Die Hard

Chapter 4

Evan’s voice was husky and rough with anger. “I believe I told you I never wanted to see you again. Ever.”

Anya wanted to stay out of his sight too. But she had no choice. She had applied for hundreds of vacancies and this was the only company who had accepted her application.

She had to make a living.

Besides, he hadn’t been the only victim that night. She had been the biggest victim. Of course, she wasn’t going to tell him that. After a moment of consideration, Anya decided to play dumb.

The tower was huge. She simply had to try her best to avoid the man and stay out of his way in the future.

Evan eyed the young woman. Her silence seemed intentional, as if she was thinking of ways to get closer to him. His voice filled with rage. “This is your second warning. Stay out of my sight. You’re not going to get a third one. Do you understand me?”

Anya understood Evan perfectly.

He seemed convinced that she had done this on purpose. That she had willingly made her presence known to him again. Her hopes of earning his love had been crushed a long time ago. She dared not hope. All she wanted was to stay as far away from the man as possible.

She cast her gaze downward and murmured. “I understand. You’ll never see me again.”

Evan withdrew his piercing gaze. He had no intention of spending the rest of the ride up with her. His voice remained cold when he spoke. “Get out of my way.”

His sudden command sent Anya jerking back in alarm.
