Chapter 59

Anya felt a headache coming when she realized that Jake might be here to pick her up for work. She did not want to get involved with her immediate boss.

The other female designers at JK Couture already did not like her. If she was close to Jake, she could forget about working

in the company.

However, he was already standing at the estate entrance.

It was impossible for Anya to dodge him. Anya stood near the entrance and briefly hesitated before walking over.

If she attempted to run, he was bound to spot her from this angle.

“Mr. Hanson, I wasn’t expecting you.” Anya pretended to be surprised when she saw Jake’s face appear behind the open

car window.

Jake said warmly, “I am here to pick you up.”

Sure enough, he was here to send her to work.

Anya could sense sweat trickling down her forehead. “Mr. Hanson, you didn’t have to call the way to pickup. It is very easy forto get to work.”

“I happened to be on the way,” said Jake as he smiled and utterly disregarded Anya’s awkwardness.

Anya did not know what to say.

How could Jake’s presence here be a sheer coincidence?

“Thank you, Mr Hanson.”

“Con.” Jake gestured for Anya to get into the car. Anya could only force a smile as she got on.”

The moment Anya got into the car obediently, Jake becexhilarated. After he started the engine, he turned on the raand listened to the music as he chatted with her about Mdm Henkel’s project.

“How was your little chat with Mdm Henkel last night?”

“It was good. She was a nice person.

“That’s great. I was worried you might feel intimidated by her! Since she even calledto keep you for dinner, you must have left a good impression on her.”

“Uh huh. I must say she was a sweet lady.”

“I’m happy about how successful things went with your first client. From now on, I will train you.” Jake looked at her tenderly.

“Thanks, Mr. Hanson.”

“Don’t mention it.”

The two of them did not go on chatting for long. The car drove down the main road and headed straight for Welton Group Tower as scenery receded into the background.

Anya was in a dilemma.

Even though Jake was good to her, Anya was no fool.

Although she did not notice anything amiss initially, she eventually noticed his gestures over time. It seemed Jake was interested in her.

Considering her situation, she was not interested in dating for now. More importantly, she did not feel anything for him and she simply treated him like a superior.

Anya did not know what to do about it.

How should she go about hinting to Jake that she was not interested in dating?

She was not in the position to bring it up first. What if he was not interested in her and she was just overthinking it?

She decided to wait for the right opportunity to reject him when he brought it up. For now, she could only keep a safe distance from him.

Anya stopped thinking about it after she cto a decision.

She calmly waited as they headed to Welton Group.

The car finally arrived at Welton Group Tower’s underground parking lot 30 minutes later.

After Jake was done parking the car, Jake and Anya got off the car. The moment they did, Anya looked around cautiously to see if there were any other colleagues around.

Fortunately, it was early and there was barely anyone in the car park.

“Mr. Hanson, you didn’t have to pickup,” said Anya as she veered her eyes after checking the parking lot.

Anya really needed to drop Jake shints. She really did not want him to pick her up.

Jake did not get it at all. Instead, he said, “I happened to be on the way.”

How could this be on the way for him? Just as Anya was about to speak, a black Bentley suddenly sped past them.

In an instant, wind swept in its wake and the car nearly grazed Anya.
