Desires Die Hard

Chapter 18

The second she stepped into the office, Jake emerged from his room with a file.

He stopped Anya from returning to her desk when he saw her. “Anya, could you come over here for a minute?”

“Do you need anything, Jake?” Anya asked as she made her way to the managing director.

Jake nodded before handing the file in his hands to her. “I need you to deliver this to Mr. Welton’s office. Tell him it’s JK Couture’s plans for the second half of the year. We need him to take a look at it.”

Anya froze when she heard that. Her fingers stiffened around the file. She couldn’t move at all. She can’t seem to form words. She stared at Jake helplessly.

“What’s wrong? Are you alright?” Jake asked, a note of concern in his voice after he caught the way Anya had stiffened.

The young woman shook her head profusely. She pulled herself together and mustered a smile on her face. It looked like a grimace instead. “Yes! I’m fine!” Naturally, she wasn’t. She wasn’t fine at all.

She didn’t want to do this. She didn’t want to see Evan again. But the other designers in the office had left. Jake’s personal assistant had knocked off as well. They were the only people left in the office.

She was a junior designer still serving her probationary period. She couldn’t possibly tell Jake to deliver the file to Evan himself.

Frustration and fear roiled inside Anya’s gut. What should she do?

“You should hurry. Mr. Welton should still be in his office but if you don’t hurry up, he might be gone before you get there,” Jake urged. He was unaware of the emotional turmoil that Anya was in.
