Desires Die Hard

Chapter 13

Five minutes later, Anya burst into the café with a bag, carrying a stack of design drafts.

She ran all the way to the café. Her face was beaded with perspiration and she was panting heavily.

She jogged up to Carol and handed the bag of drafts to her, “Carol, here are the drafts”

Carol threw an exasperated look at Anya. Instead of being grateful, she started reprimanding the young woman in front of the client. “You sure took your time. I gave you a simple task. Can’t believe how long you took to get it done. If you’re not interested in the job, you should leave.”

After giving Anya a scathing rebuke, Carol turned back to the client. The annoyance on her face vanished and was replaced by a warm smile as she began discussing her designs with the client.

Anya stood next to them and watched their peppy discussion. They treated her as if she weren’t there at all.

Anya MacMillan. She could do this! Anya told herself not to give up before deciding that
