Desires Die Hard

Chapter 150

Evan stared at Anya’s reserved self. Her meek demeanor pleased him very much.

For a moment, it seemed as if Anya was indeed his lover.

He shifted slightly away from the young woman but kept his arm around her slender waist. His arm was like a vice around the young woman that kept her in her place.

He didn’t want to declare an open war when he wasn’t confident of his chances of defeating the Weltons. All he could do was swallow his pride and laugh a liar’s laugh. “Mr. Welton, you must be mistaken. I’m not putting any moves on Ms. MacMillan. I was interested in engaging her services as a designer. That’s why I invited her out for dinner.”
