Chapter 68

Anya ended the call and clutched her prototypes to her chest tightly. She took a deep breath and exhaled loudly in an attempt to release the exhaustion that had been building up inside her throughout the day. Then, she headed downstairs and headed to the subway.

Since Jake was busy today, he couldn’t give her a ride. Anya was glad. She didn’t want to be put in a situation where she had to explain why her boss was giving her a ride across the city.

She got to the entrance of Welton Group Tower.

It must be her unlucky day because that was when she ran into Evan again.

Anya tried to pretend that she didn’t see the man. She quickened her pace, turned around and headed towards the subway

station.

The Welton Group Tower was located very conveniently near the station. However, the factories that she had to head to were scattered all across the city. It would take her stto make her rounds. All Anya could do was to hurry up.

Unbeknownst to her, Evan had caught her slipping away to the station:

His dark eyes stared at the streak of shadow dashing into the distance and darkened.

The young woman’s arms were filled with clothes. Was she bringing work back home?

Curiosity flickered across Evan’s eyes. He couldn’t help but turn towards his assistant, Hayden. “Do you where she’s going?”

Idea

Hayden had no idea who Evan was talking about. A look of bafflement appeared on his face while a note of uncertainty crept into Hayden’s voice as the man spoke. “Mr. Welton, who are you talking about?”

Evan glared at his assistant. “Anya MacMillan.”

Anya MacMillan?

Surprise colored Hayden’s eyes. He started scanning the area, searching for Anya. It didn’t take him long before his eyes finally landed on someone in the distance.

It was Anya.

His superior appeared inordinately interested in the new designer from JK Couture. Hayden couldn’t understand why Evan was so drawn to the young woman. He remembered that she had only been to his office once.

Had she made that much of an impression on Evan?

It didn’t matter what he thought about her though. Evan was interested in the young woman, which meant that it was his job to find out where Anya was going. “Mr. Welton, I’m not sure.”

“Letlook into it.”

The curiosity in Evan’s eyes dimmed as soon as he heard that.

“Don’t bother,” he said. He had asked on the spur of a moment.

Hayden couldn’t believe his ears,

He froze momentarily. Evan seemed quite interested in knowing where Anya was headed. Why had he lost his interest?

The young man fell into a momentary silence. “Mr. Welton, are we still meeting Mr. Jamerson?”

“Let’s go.” Evan had work to do.

Anya was but one of many women he had run into in his life.

Yet somehow, he couldn’t seem to get her out of his head.

“Yes, sir.” Hayden nodded immediately.

While Anya took the subway alone to her first factory, Evan sat in his Bentley, mulling over work as the car drove smoothly down the street.

The two had gone their separate ways.

Neither expected their destination to be the same. Evan was meeting Jamerson at his factory while the first factory that Anya was dropping off the prototypes at was Jamerson’s factory.

There was only one reason Evan had decided to grace Jamerson’s factory with his presence.

It had a great location.

The factory was located on a piece of land adjacent to another that he had had his eye on. If he could acquire the land, he would be able to build a huge deep–water port that would eventually rake in hundreds of millions in revenue.

Evan wasn’t going to let such a strategically advantageous piece of land slip through his fingers. Besides, Shane had his eye on the land too. He probably had the sidea that Evan had.

Evan couldn’t afford to let Shane make a move before he did. If Shane got the land, he would be able to use it as a bargaining chip against Evan.

Evan wasn’t going to allow that to happen. He had to take action before anyone else did..

It didn’t take long before Evan’s Bentley was sliding smoothly into Jamerson’s factory.

Meanwhile, the subway that Anya was on had arrived at the station right across the factory as well.

She got off the subway and started running across the street, towards the factory.

Before she could step into the factory, her phone rang. It was Ellie.

Her children missed their mother.

Chapter 68

They were desperate to hear their mother’s voice.

Nathaniel, the little imp, wouldn’t stop harassing his aunt and pleading for the woman to bring him to his mother.

Cornered by the two devils, Ellie was left with no choice but to call their young mother.
