Chapter 53

Was this Evan’s home?

He even called Mdm Henkel his grandmother!

It felt as though Anya was struck by lightning as she trembled briefly.

She had to leave as soon as possible before he started thinking she had deliberately cover to his place!

“I suddenly remembered an appointment. I am so sorry… but I don’t think I can stay for dinner,” said Anya to Mdm Welton as she smiled gently.

Mdm Welton was startled. “What? Why do you suddenly have somewhere to go?”

“Uh… I… I genuinely forgot about it.” Anya was not a good liar, so she would stammerwhen she did. However, there was nothing else she could do now.

“Sigh. What could be so important?” Mdm Welton insisted on Anya staying for dinner. Otherwise, she would not be able to introduce this potential girlfriend to her grandson. “If it is really important, I can get Evan to send you over after dinner.”

Was Evan going to send her home?

Anya almost felt like taking off right away. She did not even want to see him, let alone get a ride from him.

She felt it was best for her to leave..

Anya smiled as she shook her head and continued turning down the old lady, “I’m good. I really have to go.”

“I will keep working on your hat until you are satisfied,” said Anya before she proceeded to take her purse and leave.

Mdm Welton could not help feeling disappointed and her face looked a little sad as she said, “Ms. MacMillan, why don’t you leave after dinner? I won’t take up much of your time.”

“You promised to stay for dinner,” said Mdm Welton dejectedly.

Anya instantly felt uneasy. Anya wanted to turn down Mdm Welton, but Anya could not bear to do it the moment she saw the expression on her face.

She had not expected this matriarch from a powerful family to be so warm and enthusiastic.

Just as Anya was hesitating whether to reject her, the man finally broke his silence. “Why don’t you stay for dinner? I can give you a lift to wherever after dinner.”

His voice did not sound as cold as usual and even felt friendly.

He was probably appearing so friendly because Mdm Welton was around, right?

Anya contemplated in her heart.

“I will check to see if dinner is ready” Evan looked at Anya with his dark eyes predatorily

Anya suddenly felt her heart skip a beat.

She instinctively averted her eyes and looked elsewhere.

Evan quickly left the closet.

Mdm Welton promptly held Anya’s hand and walked over to the dining room the moment Anya agreed to stay for dinner. “Thank you so much for agreeing to hang out with an old lady.”

“You are welcome,” said Anya as she sighed in her heart.

She genuinely did not want to stay for dinner.

Now that Evan had shown up, she was even less keen on eating here.

However, she had no choice and had to stay for dinner. The moment she made Evan angry, he could get Jake to fire her.

That was the last thing she wanted.

“Don’t be shy. I know you have somewhere to go later. Evan can give you a lift. I promised not to take up too much time.” Mdm Welton looked at her warmly.

Anya nodded obediently.

“Ms. MacMillan, look at this lousy memory of mine. I forgot to introduce my grandson.” Mdm Welton walked a few steps with her before she suddenly remembered to introduce Evan to her and said, “He’s Welton Group’s CEO. He’s a real rising star. He’s only 28 this year and he’s single ”

Anya went speechless.
