Desires Die Hard

Chapter 167

Meanwhile, Anya started packing her bag after she ended her call with Lola. She grabbed the draft that she had prepared and got ready to head down to the studio to meet Lola.

She made her way to the reception with the draft in her hands.

Sydney stormed furiously out of the elevator at that exact moment. She saw Anya at the reception and made a beeline for her stepsister immediately. As soon as she walked up to the young woman, she lifted her hand and got ready to give her a tight slap on the face.

Anya had seen that coming. She caught Sydney’s wrist before Sydney could swing her arm downt. The look on Anya’s face could freeze lava. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“What do you think I’m doing?” Her foiled attempt at giving Anya a hard slap on her cheek made angered her more. Fury colored her cheeks red. She looked like a volcano that was ready to erupt any moment. Her eyes glared murderously at Anya while her teeth started grinding loudly. “Haven’t I warned you to stay away from Evan? Why can’t you just stay away

from him!”

Anya felt a wave of nausea and helplessness threaten to pull her under when she heard that name. Evan Welton. It was about Evan again.

If Sydney really liked the guy, she should try and catch his eye.

What was she doing here with her instead?

Besides, after the incident that had happened a year ago, Anya had given up on the man.

“Why are you yelling at me? Shouldn’t you be looking for Mr. Welton?” Anya wasn’t going to back down. She still had a grudge to settle with Sydney and her mother.

Did they think they could push her around?

Well, they should think again. She wasn’t the same pushover they had bullied and abused in the past.

Anya shoved down the waves of abhorrence and fury inside her. Her voice could freeze hell all over. “We’re both employees. at the Welton Group. You work for the media department and I work for JK Couture. Aren’t you worried that Mr. Welton might hear of our argument and get annoyed with you?”
