Desires Die Hard

Chapter 52

The old lady brought Anya into the villa and to her large closet underground.

The closet was filled with premium silk and the finest jewel.

Anya moved around carefully when she entered the closet with the old lady. She was terribly worried about bumping into the precious pendants hanging in the room and damaging them.

If she did, there was no way on earth she could afford to compensate for them even if she sold everything she owned.

“Are you a fresh graduate?” The old lady walked up to an ebony–colored wardrobe and opened it to reveal her hat collection.

“Yes, I just graduated not long ago.”

“Then you are quite young.” The old lady smiled and liked Anya even more. She retrieved a light grey wool hat from the collection and handed it to Anya as she said, “I want to use this kind of fabric for my new hat for the fall.”

Anya touched the hat carefully. It was made from the finest wool.

“Mdm Henkel, what kind of design do you prefer?”

“I would prefer if it wasn’t too trendy. I just need something that works for my age,” said the old lady gently.

“I see. I will come up with the design after I get back. I will ensure you are satisfied with the final product.” Anya returned the hat to the old lady carefully.

The old lady passed it to the butler to put away before she said to Anya, “Have you had dinner?”

Anya shook her head. “Nope. I was planning to eat when I got home.” If she went home now, she was still in time to dine with her darling children.

“Why don’t you stay? I have to eat alone all the time, so I would really like it if you could stay.” The old lady was in a rather good mood and genuinely liked the young woman.
