“What’s Anya doing inside Mr. Welton’s office?” Sydney plastered a plastic smile on her face.

The young woman’s bluntness had Hayden frowning instantly. He shook his head and replied politely. “I’m not sure.”

“Are you sure you don’t know anything?” Sydney’s smile seemed frozen on her face.

“That’s right. If you don’t mind, I have to get back to work.” Hayden wasn’t interested in continuing the conversation with

her.

He was ready to return to his desk.

Sydney stepped into his path and stopped him. Her voice was soft. “Mr. Lang, please tell me. It’s no big deal. Anya and I are like family to each other. You can tell me.”

Hayden froze. He had not expected that. That had nothing to do with him though. He was just Evan’s personal assistant. He wasn’t going to go around sharing his boss‘ secrets. He wanted to keep his job. It had great perks. He wasn’t stupid or
