Desires Die Hard

Chapter 146

“A penny for your thoughts, Ms. MacMillan?” Evan said huskily and in a teasing manner as he gazed at her with his dark eyes. Anya was pulled out of her stupor instantly.

The man’s husky voice filled her ears.

Anya felt the tip of her ears burn. Her voice was stiff and awkward when she spoke. “Mr. Welton, I’m sure it’s fine as long as you like it. I’m a fashion designer. I know nothing about furniture.”

“You’re helping your cousin take care of her twins, aren’t you? You should know what kids like.” Evan was undoubtedly great with words. He knew how to set up verbal traps and how to lure his prey into those traps. As long as he suspected you of hiding something from him, he wouldn’t rest until he made you spill your secrets.

But Anya was no ordinary prey. She wasn’t going to fall for his tricks that easily. She remained polite albeit a little stiff when she replied the man. “Mr. Welton, I am staying with my niece and nephew, but my aunt is the one who’s taking care of them. I don’t have kids myself. I know nothing about what they like or dislike.”

“You should hire a professional to take a look at that, Mr. Welton,” Anya said before bending slightly and getting ready to worm her way out of the man’s arms.

But just as she was ready to do that…

Evan reached out and caught her wrist. Then, he pulled her onto his wide and expensive looking sandalwood desk and leaned his weight in. His voice was a low and husky rasp. “I trust Ms. MacMillan’s taste and skill as a designer.”

The man was a hazard and a bully.

He had her trapped between him and the desk.

Anya couldn’t move at all.

And what had he been going on about?

That had just been an excuse to cop a feel.

Anya was livid. She stiffened, then stared at Evan warily. “Mr. Welton, if you keep this up, I’ll have to call the cops and report you for sexual harassment.”

He was the CEO of the Welton Group. Surely, he would have some care for his reputation?

ruffled by Anya’s threat to call the cops at all. Instead, the look in his eyes darkened as he pursed his lips. The next moment, he was smiling a polite smile. He didn’t try anything though. Anya thought that perhaps the man apparently did have some vague inkling of what personal boundaries
