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.

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?

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

What? Kiss him?
