Desires Die Hard

Chapter 36

Anya immediately returned to her desk to grab her phone after getting out of Jake’s office.

She had to call her aunt to inform that she would be home late again that night. Since she felt the need to avoid feeling embarrassed about it, she had to make the phone call at the end of the empty corridor outside.

It did not take long for her aunt to pick up the call. Her toddlers‘ adorable voices could be heard through the phone when she picked up as she said. “Hey Anya, what’s the matter?”

“Hey aunty. I have to meet a client with my supervisor tonight and might be home late again.” Anya said as she gently caressed her forehead since she felt a little bad. She then asked, “Hey aunty, please help me take care of the kids.”

Ever since her mother’s passing, only her aunt treated her like family. She treated her like her own daughter. Ellie actually transferred her to a different university with a designer course that was away from the MacMillan family.

With how ruthless and cruel the MacMillan family was, they kicked her out of the house. Moreover, they made the university that she was Studying in to expel her. They wanted her dead. Would they even pay for her education anyway? There was no need to even think about that.
